FOREST AWAY: Leeds, Tuesday 4th April – Fan Guide
I have always been conscious that my own views on Nottingham Forest are often at odds with those of our Greek owners. Which is fine. It can be an occasional concern or worry but realistically the views of fan and owner are not always going to acquiesce and nor should they. Having lurched into the umpteenth […]
FOREST AWAY: Tottenham, Saturday 11th March – Fan Guide
As I write this it’s bucketing it down with snow. It brings back memories of 1996 when a home tie against Spurs was abandoned due to heavy snowfall that covered the City Ground. Fans sat shivering in their seats as snow gradually consumed them, and Andrea Silenzi looked like he was going to pass away […]
FOREST AWAY: West Ham United, Saturday 25th February – Fan Guide
I remember we were told that top flight football meant even less Saturday games. ‘Don’t moan about Sky in the Championship,’ we were told, ‘…it’ll be worse in the Premier League.’ Except, that isn’t correct. We have been blessed with regular Saturday slots of late and it’s a joy to get back into the swing […]
FOREST AWAY: Fulham, Saturday 11th February – Fan Guide
A visit to Craven Cottage, whatever division we are in, is one to look forward to and enjoy. Nestled among the huge, fantastic stadia and smart but characterless bowls that fill up much of the the Premier League away schedule, Fulham still has plenty of quaint heritage and a bucketful of soul that makes it […]
FOREST AWAY: Manchester United, League Cup Semi-Final, Wednesday 1st February – Fan Guide
From the warm sand of Grimsby to a winter’s night in Manchester. It seems likely our League Cup odyssey may come to a close at Old Trafford, a first leg deficit of three goals will take a herculean effort to overcome, but once again a cup competition has been a refreshing bolt-on to our league […]
FOREST AWAY: AFC Bournemouth, Saturday 21st January – 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: Blackpool, FA Cup 3rd Round, Saturday 7th January – Fan Guide
There has been an awful lot of miles racked up already by travelling Forest fans since the season resumed just before Christmas. Blackpool will be a fourth away match in 18 days and a third visit to the north-west in that same period. Thankfully, this one is at least taking place in daylight hours and […]
FOREST AWAY: Southampton, Wednesday 4th January – Fan Guide
Things continue to tick and collapse and annoy and excite. We still aren’t sure what we are, we still aren’t sure if we are building something that resembles progress, but it feels like we might be. We need United to be the outlier, we can’t keep going away from home and lacking the belief we […]
FOREST AWAY: Manchester United, Tuesday 27th December – Fan Guide
Every now and again I fall into the trap of forgetting, or just not being able to comprehend, that when the return of the Premier League is mentioned, it involves us. It had definitely felt real, but the World Cup threw me off course again. Bloody hell, what a year it’s been. A first FA […]
FOREST AWAY: Blackburn, League Cup 4th Round, Wednesday 21st December – Fan Guide
Before the Premier League season slammed shut at the beginning of November, there was clear signs that we were finding our feet and bit of rhythm. We can’t know for sure but in any other season without a World Cup being dropped haphazardly into the middle of it, we might just have started to drag […]
