Taking A Stand – The Campaign for Safe Standing

An underlying current made up of a dedicated team of safe standing advocates has pushed it forward gradually but it is perhaps only in recent months that the call has really started to […]

Cycling Away – Martin Hibbert Q&A
For those of us looking forward to the summer break after a long and often arduous season supporting Forest, spare a thought for Martin Hibbert. Way back on 12th August, with the season just days old, Martin began a quest to cycle to every Forest away league game for charity. He has amassed hundreds and […]
We Won The League In Coventry – Part 2
40 years ago, on Saturday April 22nd, thousands of Reds found themselves in Coventry. They travelled by road and by rail, in hope and expectation. Forest were on the verge of the Division One title. A point was all we needed. In Part 1 we followed the tales of a number of supporters who travelled […]
We Won The League In Coventry – Part 1
April 22nd 1978. James Callaghan is Prime Minister; a pint will set you back around 25 pence and Matchstalk Men and Matchstalk Cats and Dogs by Brian & Michael is top of the UK charts. A certain Mull of Kintyre had been No.1 earlier that year. On this bright and sunny day thousands of people […]

There is a depth of fascinating characters and stories […]
Fans Forum / Safe Standing Debate – Thursday 18th January
Cross Keys – 7pm Towards the end of 2017 we began a concerted effort to elevate this campaign towards a greater focus on what happens inside the ground. Displays and flags aside there is a very simple need to become more consistent in the level of support we can offer. A game like Arsenal highlights […]
Away Seating Section – Wolves, Saturday 20th January
Following some discussions with the club we are going to be trialling a section of seats at away games starting with Wolves on 20th January. Most seem to be in agreement that the atmosphere at games could be so much better and we hope you’ll see it as a positive step. For me, there has […]
Brentford – Saturday 12th August 2017
Brentford – Saturday 12th August 2017 The fixture list was kind to us when our first away game was selected. Brentford remains a favourite for many of us because of the old fashioned terrace we are housed in. Supporters are tightly packed in below the low roof and the noise it kicks up is brilliant. […]
