The Dying Art of the Terrace Chant
I’ve been building up to this article. If you read through previous correspondence from FG you’ll see similar strands of an overall message – the importance of originality, not following the tedious atmospheres of others and building ourselves a reputation. Please keep in mind this is a personal viewpoint; it isn’t a manifesto or a […]
‘Sit down and show some respect’
I’m sure many Reds supporters have dreamt of getting into the changing room at full-time to give the players a good rollocking after a sub-standard performance. For one Forest fan, this dream turned into a reality during Gary Megson’s tenure virtually 12 years ago to the day. Notts County and Gleeds Director Jon Enever is […]
Always Glad To Be A Red
My first Forest v. Derby memory is listening to the radio aged 8 – it was April 1994 and a Gary Charles inspired Forest stormed to a 2-0 win at the Baseball Ground. Incidentally that game at Peterborough happened just a few days later. What a week that was. I’d frequented a few games by […]
Oktoberfest Pre-Match – Bierkeller, Saturday 21st October
11am – 2pm (Pre-Burton) These pre-match meet ups we’ve been pulling together have rapidly become a big part of our repertoire and, much to our bewilderment and delight, they have continued to get bigger and better. If we’re being honest we have never quite found a way to define them. That’s probably a good thing. […]
PC Jon Sleigh – Q&A
Back in August during the gathering at the Trent Navigation I was informed that the police had arrived and wanted to talk. It’s not something anyone particularly wants to hear – various potential misdemeanours flashed through my head – but in truth the visit was hardly surprising. 400 + people congregated together a matter of […]
The Boats – Image Gallery
Wolves, Saturday 16th September 2017 It’s a rather beautiful thing sailing down the Trent. The alcohol and the singing rather get in the way of some picturesque views, not to mention raucous games of Subbuteo involving a former European Cup winner. Six boats would eventually take part in a lively finale past the Trent End […]
Back on the River – Final Update
Wolves, Saturday 16th September 2017 This coming Saturday the boats will once again take to the River Trent. They will depart from close to Trent Bridge from 11:30am onwards with a total of 311 Forest fans on board. And they will return to the same point at around 2:15pm hopefully with the same number! Each […]
We Are Family
This month sees the 40th anniversary of the London & Southern Counties branch of the Supporters Club being formed. Their conception was wonderfully timed with the most glorious period in the club’s history but, like the rest of us, they have had to weather more testing times of late. To mark the milestone and to […]
Get Yourselves to Hillsborough
Sheffield Wednesday, Saturday 9th September 2017, 5;30pm k.o It’s frustrating when the early rush of football in August comes to a shuddering stop after a few weeks for the international break. Yet this season it possibly falls at a good time for us. The closing days of August perhaps saw the tiniest hint of […]
Great Expectations
Dan Mounser I’d like to think that in general, Nottingham Forest supporters across the world are a knowledgeable bunch. In part, down to the managerial upbringing of Billy Walker, Johnny Carey and Brian Clough’s footballing sides being passed down from generation to generation. The ‘Forest Way’ if you like – tidy, attractive, passing football with […]
