FOREST AWAY: Newcastle United, Saturday 6th August – Fan Guide
And here we are. Does it seem real yet? There’s that sense of the day before you go on holiday for a fortnight. Have we got everything we need? Should we pick up another left back just to be safe? Oh bloody hell, did we remember to ask Harry Arter to leave or is he […]
2022-23 Away Ticket Sales Review
As the Premier League season inches ever closer (how good does that sound?), it’s been difficult to miss a considerable amount of internal warfare on and around ticketing release days. The situation is unfortunate and probably avoidable. We were first alerted to a change to the scheme in early July, receiving a draft copy of the proposed model […]
FOREST AWAY: Play-Off Final, Wembley, Sunday 29th May – Fan Guide
There is, I have no doubt, magic in the air. The feelings I’ve conjured up with regards to NFFC over the last week or so has been unlike anything before. Regular, prolonged bouts of wonder, delirium, and emotion. I adore how the city has reared up and collectively began to bang its fist in expectation. […]
FOREST AWAY: Sheffield United, Play-Off Semi-Final First Leg, Saturday 14th May – Fan Guide
Sometimes it still returns fleetingly to my mind. Different parts of that night; occasionally happy memories but mainly it’s the mild punches to the stomach it can still provide. The absurdity and the shock. It gets forgotten but in the madness of it all we nearly rescued it. Matty Louis-Jean from nowhere getting up and […]
FOREST AWAY: Hull City, Saturday 7th May – Fan Guide
Hopes of a direct dash into the Premier League may have been dashed but the opportunity remains via the pandemonium of the play-offs. It was a subdued ride home from Bournemouth but it’s hard not to find solace in a season that has been bewilderingly fabulous ever since Steve Cooper’s arrival. Disappointing defeats have regularly […]
FOREST AWAY: AFC Bournemouth, Saturday 21st Jan – 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: Fulham, Tuesday 26th April – Fan Guide
I’ve been stuck wondering for a few weeks now where this season lies among my all-time favourites. Not a matter of huge importance I agree but it’s been nice to mull over. Being born of a generation that was too young to be attending matches and consuming some great times in the 1990s, my choices […]
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 […]
