FOREST AWAY: West Brom, Friday 26th November – Fan Guide
For many, spending a well-earned Friday night in freezing cold West Bromwich may sound somewhat off-putting, but with a sold out away end of 2,000 Reds the game on Friday is set to be an absolute belter. Whilst the disappointment of yet another away game being moved by Sky was definitely felt amongst many of […]
FOREST AWAY: Reading, Saturday 20th November – Fan Guide
Reading is hardly the sexiest of away games. And no doubt those who were there for the last game when we were allowed in are probably not fully recovered from the emotional trauma of that final minute in added time. Yet a trip to Reading suddenly seems rather appealing at the thought of those orange […]
FOREST AWAY: QPR, Friday 29th October – Fan Guide
When television executives make their decisions on what fixtures are going to be carved out of their slot for the pleasure of their audiences, I wonder whether any thought at all is given to those who will be directly impacted. These broadcast selections carry bigger weight than perhaps they realise for supporters. It could be […]
FOREST AWAY: Bristol City, Tuesday 19th October – Fan Guide
What a difference a few weeks can make. In September talk had started to turn to League One away days and now there is a cautious glance at the shortening gap between us and the top six. Sometimes it feels misleading to heap all the praise on one man and undoubtedly a much wider group […]
FOREST AWAY: Birmingham, Saturday 2nd October – Fan Guide
It’s approximately 1.7 miles from Birmingham rail station to St Andrews, starting at an above sea altitude of 69ft, dipping down through the Chinese Quarter and the delights of Digbeth, then crossing the A45 and up the hill past the obligatory McDonalds and finishing at a height of 102ft above sea level. Those 1.7 miles […]
FOREST AWAY: Barnsley, Wednesday 29th September – Fan Guide
Steve Cooper has swept in armed with the obvious task of moving his new team up the table, but also with what appears to be a well thought out charm offensive. He’s ticked a good few boxes so far with positive references to the club’s history, the intent for attacking football and his admiration for […]
FOREST AWAY: Huddersfield Town, Saturday 18th September – Fan Guide
The mood may have lifted slightly with the news that Chris Hughton had been relieved of his duties but we are excruciatingly back at the point of placing our hopes on the shoulders of yet another football manager. One who will appear into view on a conveyor belt like some ghastly version of a Yo […]
FOREST AWAY: Derby, Saturday 28th August – Fan Guide
Nottingham and Derby are locked in a perpetual struggle to assert authority, dominance and ultimately, the cultural and moral high ground over the other. Derby boasts of its status as birthplace of the industrial revolution, thus precipitating Nottingham’s booming lace market. It developed its reputation for engineering excellence by establishing itself at the heart of […]
FOREST AWAY: Stoke City, Saturday 21st August – Fan Guide
It is said that the darkest hour comes just before the dawn. This is a hell of a long night isn’t it? There are blind hedgehogs who see more light than we do. Three league games in since the return of supporters and here we are curious about if things were preferable when we […]
FOREST AWAY: Coventry, Sunday 8th August – FAN GUIDE
Hello again. I don’t know about you but this still doesn’t feel real. It doesn’t feel like we are off to see Forest on Sunday. I actually feel strangely numb about it, maybe because I still think it isn’t happening. When I clamber aboard our bus on Sunday morning I’m expecting it to feel normal […]
