FOREST AWAY: Liverpool, Saturday 22nd April – Fan Guide
For this edition of our away guide we have handed over the opening words to Martin, a Forest supporter who is part of @NoHateChants. This group are aiming to unveil a banner at Anfield on Saturday with the goal of bringing tragedy chanting around the Hillsborough disaster to an end: ‘We are a loose collective […]
FOREST AWAY: Aston Villa, Saturday 8th April – Fan Guide
Isn’t it peculiar how football regularly throws up little coincidences? The last public backing of Steve Cooper landed in October ahead of a game against Villa. This week, the same thing has unfolded. The backing wasn’t quite as emphatic this time, but it was nevertheless a shot in the arm for a club that desperately […]
FOREST AWAY: Leeds, Tuesday 4th April – Fan Guide
I have always been conscious that my own views on Nottingham Forest are often at odds with those of our Greek owners. Which is fine. It can be an occasional concern or worry but realistically the views of fan and owner are not always going to acquiesce and nor should they. Having lurched into the umpteenth […]
FOREST AWAY: Tottenham, Saturday 11th March – Fan Guide
As I write this it’s bucketing it down with snow. It brings back memories of 1996 when a home tie against Spurs was abandoned due to heavy snowfall that covered the City Ground. Fans sat shivering in their seats as snow gradually consumed them, and Andrea Silenzi looked like he was going to pass away […]
FOREST AWAY: West Ham United, Saturday 25th February – Fan Guide
I remember we were told that top flight football meant even less Saturday games. ‘Don’t moan about Sky in the Championship,’ we were told, ‘…it’ll be worse in the Premier League.’ Except, that isn’t correct. We have been blessed with regular Saturday slots of late and it’s a joy to get back into the swing […]
FOREST AWAY: Fulham, Saturday 11th February – Fan Guide
A visit to Craven Cottage, whatever division we are in, is one to look forward to and enjoy. Nestled among the huge, fantastic stadia and smart but characterless bowls that fill up much of the the Premier League away schedule, Fulham still has plenty of quaint heritage and a bucketful of soul that makes it […]
FOREST AWAY: Manchester United, League Cup Semi-Final, Wednesday 1st February – Fan Guide
From the warm sand of Grimsby to a winter’s night in Manchester. It seems likely our League Cup odyssey may come to a close at Old Trafford, a first leg deficit of three goals will take a herculean effort to overcome, but once again a cup competition has been a refreshing bolt-on to our league […]
FOREST AWAY: AFC Bournemouth, Saturday 21st January – Fan Guide
As I sat nursing a relatively troublesome hangover on Sunday morning, the same word kept coming to me when thinking about Saturday’s game and the last few weeks and months as a whole. Patience. The official definition is ‘The capacity to accept or tolerate delay, problems, or suffering without becoming annoyed or anxious’ – An […]
FOREST AWAY: Blackpool, FA Cup 3rd Round, Saturday 7th January – Fan Guide
There has been an awful lot of miles racked up already by travelling Forest fans since the season resumed just before Christmas. Blackpool will be a fourth away match in 18 days and a third visit to the north-west in that same period. Thankfully, this one is at least taking place in daylight hours and […]
FOREST AWAY: Southampton, Wednesday 4th January – Fan Guide
Things continue to tick and collapse and annoy and excite. We still aren’t sure what we are, we still aren’t sure if we are building something that resembles progress, but it feels like we might be. We need United to be the outlier, we can’t keep going away from home and lacking the belief we […]
