A Fleeting Thing – Gareth Watts
As someone who works in Leicester and who sees the ‘2016 Champions’ newspaper pull-outs pinned to colleagues’ noticeboards yellowing like jaundice on a daily basis, I’m all too aware that success in football is a fleeting thing. Standing in applause to commemorate Cloughie on Saturday, it was a reminder of our own moment in the […]
The Boat Trip – Image Gallery
It rained and the football wasn’t particularly great… Welcome to another day in the life of Nottingham Forest. Well, no actually. As 7 (seven) boats crept towards Lady Bay Bridge, the gateway to what has now become an annual tradition of masses of red smoke, the rain poured down on us. But it mattered not. […]
The Forza Garibaldi Boat Trip – Saturday 22nd September
On Saturday we take to the River Trent once more in what is our third boat trip. Five boats of wildly differing sizes will be sailing, plus maybe the odd other one which decides to tag along. We depart from close to Trent Bridge at noon but those on board are asked to be in […]
The History Boys – Q&A with David Marples
At the beginning of September a new Forest book named The History Boys was released. It’s author, David Marples, may be familiar to some of you already as one of the creators and writers of the joyous quarterly publication Bandy & Shinty. Like other Forest books that precede it, The History Boys covers our rich history yet it digs […]
SWANSEA AWAY – Image Gallery
A 400 mile round trip represents our longest voyage of the season which made the 1,500 following a decent effort. After a rather unfortunate but nevetheless picturesque detour through the Brecon Beacons we arrived into Swansea not long after 1pm and joined dozens of other Reds and plenty of home fans inside the Harvester right […]
FOREST AWAY: Brentford, Saturday 1st September – Fan Guide
Crikey, September games are upon us already. And the first batch of games up to the maiden international break of the season ends with our visit to Brentford’s Griffin Park. It’s testament to how well Brentford have developed in recent years and how they have started in 2018/19 that this will prove one of our […]
Home. Home, where I wanted to go
I’m not actually a fan of 00s wristband rockers Coldplay, but this line – this one line – gets me every time. As the throbbing beat and repetitive riff of ‘Clocks’ builds to a crescendo, this single understated lyric soars with longing and regret. It speaks of the times your Mum called you in from the […]
Home
We wouldn’t possibly be able to count the number of times over the last few weeks where we audibly questioned what on earth we were doing. The end product we hoped would be worth the huge effort but it’s been a good reminder why we restrict these big displays to a couple of times a […]
The Quest Quest
It’s likely that at some point in the past few weeks you’ve trawled the lower echelons of your television’s channel list. It’s a phenomenon amongst fans of EPL teams I’m calling the Quest quest. Such is the disdain terrestrial broadcasters have for our beloved second tier, we’re left to scramble down in the gutter amongst E4 […]
FOREST AWAY: Wigan Gallery
We saw another few rays of sunshine in our performance and we saw plenty to be concerned about. Quite how a team of professional footballers can continue to concede from a high ball into the box within the first few minutes is troubling and frustrating. But last season that game would have ended in defeat, […]
