FOREST AWAY: Peterborough, Saturday 23rd April (3pm!) – Fan Guide
Luton brought doubt. Are we ‘really’ as good a team as we thought? After all, if Luton can shut us down as effectively as they did in that first half, surely other teams will take meticulous notes and pass them around the Championship classroom. This wasn’t in the script. We were supposed to win at […]
FOREST AWAY: Luton Town, Friday 15th April – Fan Guide
I wonder if there is any way left for this season to end in anything but extreme emotion; one or the other. Only a few weeks ago I’d have found 7th place a real disappointment but I would have found plenty of solace in our rise up the table and some most enjoyable moments. Maybe […]
FOREST AWAY: Blackpool, Saturday 2nd April – Fan Guide
The international break, as frustrating as they can be, might have landed at a good time. Previous weeks, while often exhilarating, have been draining. Miles up and down the country on all days and at all sorts of hours. I looked forward to the blank weekend if I’m honest, maybe the players not on international […]
The Eleventh Hour
It’s that time of year again. The weather is slowly beginning to turn, excitement is building, and fixtures remaining depleting. To quote a young Kevin McCallister “This is it, don’t get scared now”. It’s barely believable that we’re in the same season as that where we took just a single point from seven games. The […]
FOREST AWAY: Sheffield United, Friday 4th March – Fan Guide
Spring has sprung. And with it, a play-off race that has already shown signs of being a tantalising contest begins to shift into its endgame. Several weeks remain of the 2021/22 season, but it is now when tension starts to ramp up and an extra flash of excitement begins to emerge. A visit to Bramall […]
FOREST AWAY: Preston North End, Tuesday 22nd February – Fan Guide
On Friday we saw a frustrating and painful side of football, and also a brilliant side. A few of us were checking in at our hotel as the news landed via the journalist, John Percy. It took another spell for Bournemouth to confirm the news shortly after 4pm. There is almost always a lot we […]
FOREST AWAY: Bournemouth, Tuesday 3rd April – Fan Guide
I’ve decided it’s best to be honest with you. I’ve sat here for twenty minutes watching the Snooker final on Sunday evening and I can’t think what to write. Something a bit profound, a little upbeat, was probably the intention. It’s hard to find the words. Because the advantage still sits with our hosts I’m […]
FOREST AWAY: Blackburn Rovers, Wednesday 9th February – Fan Guide
As we trudged out into the harsh Cardiff wind and rain, we would have found it tough to believe the absolute turnaround in mood that would arrive almost exactly a week later. The gloom of what must have been the worst performance so far under Steve Cooper was shaken off emphatically to claim victory over […]
FOREST AWAY: CARDIFF, Sunday 30th January – Fan Guide
What a joyous last few weeks we have had as Forest fans, eh? The consecutive late December defeats against Middlesbrough and Huddersfield, which threatened to de-rail our great progress, now feel a semi-distant memory. They sit firmly wedged behind more recent ones of battered shins, a powerful essence of pyro and the significant slaying of […]
FOREST AWAY: Millwall, Saturday 15th January – Fan Guide
If I’m correct this is our first London away day (with fans present) at Saturday 3pm since Fulham in August 2019. For that reason alone, there’s sufficient reason to look forward to this one. Another factor is that, following the news that the Bournemouth trip in February has been moved to the Friday night, we […]
