Barnsley Image Gallery – Tuesday 15th August 2017
A much improved performance but, alas, a first defeat. It’s a funny old game isn’t it? Still, Forest travelled in massive numbers which was great to see and we shouldn’t be too downbeat after 6 points from 9. The biggest pain was undoubtedly the miles of roadworks on the way home. Thanks to all who […]
Sticking Plasters
Well… How did we get here so soon? Alas, this is Forest and the latest implosion is normally only ever just around the corner. But I thought we were a little bit away from this sort of defining moment. I disagree with it, just to be totally clear. It would appear that there were some […]
Xmas Pre-Match – Bolton, Saturday 9th December
Come all ye Forest faithful! The final FG meet of 2017 will be at Southbank City (Friar Lane) on 9th December before the Bolton game. This is the last home game before Christmas so we’ll try our best to make it a good one with a bit of festive cheer. There’s a fair bit planned […]
The Dying Art of the Terrace Chant
I’ve been building up to this article. If you read through previous correspondence from FG you’ll see similar strands of an overall message – the importance of originality, not following the tedious atmospheres of others and building ourselves a reputation. Please keep in mind this is a personal viewpoint; it isn’t a manifesto or a […]
‘Sit down and show some respect’
I’m sure many Reds supporters have dreamt of getting into the changing room at full-time to give the players a good rollocking after a sub-standard performance. For one Forest fan, this dream turned into a reality during Gary Megson’s tenure virtually 12 years ago to the day. Notts County and Gleeds Director Jon Enever is […]
Always Glad To Be A Red
My first Forest v. Derby memory is listening to the radio aged 8 – it was April 1994 and a Gary Charles inspired Forest stormed to a 2-0 win at the Baseball Ground. Incidentally that game at Peterborough happened just a few days later. What a week that was. I’d frequented a few games by […]
Oktoberfest Pre-Match – Bierkeller, Saturday 21st October
11am – 2pm (Pre-Burton) These pre-match meet ups we’ve been pulling together have rapidly become a big part of our repertoire and, much to our bewilderment and delight, they have continued to get bigger and better. If we’re being honest we have never quite found a way to define them. That’s probably a good thing. […]
PC Jon Sleigh – Q&A
Back in August during the gathering at the Trent Navigation I was informed that the police had arrived and wanted to talk. It’s not something anyone particularly wants to hear – various potential misdemeanours flashed through my head – but in truth the visit was hardly surprising. 400 + people congregated together a matter of […]
The Boats – Image Gallery
Wolves, Saturday 16th September 2017 It’s a rather beautiful thing sailing down the Trent. The alcohol and the singing rather get in the way of some picturesque views, not to mention raucous games of Subbuteo involving a former European Cup winner. Six boats would eventually take part in a lively finale past the Trent End […]
