It’s true that you have to scrape the barrel to find any bragging rights over our forthcoming FA Cup opponents. But if you scrape far enough you could find a nugget or two of significance, admittedly, they are very faded and very old nuggets – but significant nonetheless. It was with amusement that I heard [...]

After reading tales of woe in the aftermath of the scrum for tickets today, it’s made me question whether or not Forest have really got a sensible plan for games like this – and the answer, on first inspection, would have to be a resounding no! The worst thing I’ve heard is the amount of [...]

Forest season ticket holders gamely queued – some from as early as Saturday afternoon, to stake their claim from the ticket allocation left over from our away season ticket holders/members and the more frequent away travellers.

Swansea City – 0 Nottingham Forest – 0 If you consider that Swansea were perhaps unfortunate to go in behind at half time, then a draw is a decent result – but frustratingly the Reds again failed to capitalise on others dropping points around them, and end up in third place – in a three-way [...]

In line with the expected Government directives on smoking in public places, the Football League has [...]

Despite Forest suggesting that online is the best way to get tickets, I imagine hundreds of fans will still opt to queue and get tickets in person (particularly since you can’t get coach tickets online). For those of you who might not regularly get up to such activities outside the ticket office in the early [...]

Another tricky weekend fixture for the Reds, who face 8th place Swansea at the Liberty Stadium. As with Yeovil Town last week, we face the Swans on good form – they’ve lost only one in the last eight (and that was away from home), and of course they pipped us on the giantkilling stakes my [...]

This sprung to mind because I heard a reprise of the first Forest chant I ever learned at the weekend. Back when I was at school and starting to properly get into being a Forest fan, some of my schoolmates who had been going to games longer than I used to very patiently teach me [...]

It’s that time of year again – Coca Cola are running that promotion where they give your club money to buy a player; not that we don’t have money already – indeed, we got more cash for the television rights for our FA Cup game with Chelsea than what Coca Cola are offering, the top [...]
