FOREST AWAY: Newcastle United, Sunday 23rd February – Fan Guide
Almost 4 weeks ago, as I reckon most of you will know by now, I released my first book: ‘Trailblazers: The Groundbreaking History of Nottingham Forest’. Along with the fantastic feedback I’ve had, I’ve always enjoyed people popping a few ideas across about more examples of Forest’s pioneering. While the book mainly carries significant developments […]
FOREST AWAY: Fulham, Saturday 15th February – Fan Guide
I won’t be alone in wondering how things has transpired to mean I was still in the away end at Exeter past 11pm on a Tuesday evening. Clearly, our inability to overcome a spirited home side and Taiwo’s nasty injury meant that the delay couldn’t be helped, but it did once again throw up the […]
FOREST AWAY: Exeter City, FA Cup Fourth Round, Tuesday 11th February – Fan Guide
‘It’s FA Cup weekend!!’ (loud cheers) ‘When do your lot play?’ ‘Tuesday’ ‘Tuesday?!’ ‘Yeah’ ‘Who you got again?’ ‘Exeter away’ ‘Jesus.’ *** I actually let out a little cheer when we were drawn at Exeter. When it comes to cup draws in the earlier rounds I tend to have two primary rules: RULE ONE – […]
FOREST AWAY: Bournemouth, Saturday 25th January – Fan Guide
As I suspect quite a lot of you have noticed, I’ve had a busy old week touring the podcasts and the social media circuits talking about my little project. A book I actually wrote and someone actually agreed to publish… Trailblazers: The Groundbreaking History of Nottingham Forest is the title and I’ll admit I’m rather […]
FOREST AWAY: Wolves, Monday 6th January – Fan Guide
Headed back from Everton, the conversation inevitably turned to our lofty position in the Premier League. I know we football fans typically get a bit jittery about getting ahead of ourselves but it’s also lovely to dream about what lies in store. After all, we spent so long stuck in the quagmire of the divisions […]
FOREST AWAY: Everton, Sunday 29th December – Fan Guide
So long, Goodison. We barely knew you. Obviously those of a slightly older generation will have trapesed around this fine old stadium many, many times. But many of us will have only experienced it since promotion in 2022. It’s easy to see why Everton felt they needed to move; the place is showing its age […]
FOREST AWAY: Brentford, Saturday 21st December – Fan Guide
Christmas is almost upon us and, rather stupendously, Forest have a chance of spending the 25th December in the Champions League spots. It has a been a tremendous season so far and every credit to Nuno and his team. I think many of us would also really like to finally experience a win at Brentford’s […]
FOREST AWAY: Manchester United, Saturday 7th December – Fan Guide
Two away games in week is thankfully a rarity these days and, as I discussed at length in the City away guide, going to the same city twice in four days is a tad extreme. Thankfully, Manchester is a great place and I’m sure many of us will be taking the opportunity to enjoy another […]
FOREST AWAY: Manchester City, Wednesday 4th December – Fan Guide
A strange few days lie ahead. What are we facing against City; a wounded beast ready to take their frustration out on their next opponent or a tamed creature who can be frustrated and overcome? And then we have a similarly uncertain experience against United who may (or may not) be resurgent as their latest […]
FOREST AWAY: Arsenal, Saturday 23rd November – Fan Guide
I’ll admit, the frequent international breaks aren’t as much of a chore as they were when were in the division below. It used to be rather painful to have a blank weekend only to be scheduled to have a Tuesday night at Preston a few weeks later. There is, I should point out, a visit […]
