I picked up an email from a fellow fan about his friend, Trevor Brown. I never had the pleasure of his acquaintance, but checking the forums and doing a bit of research it seems Trevor was a very popular Forest fan – it’s very sad to hear he passed away on Wednesday at the far-too-young age [...]

Utterly childish, but it tickled me yesterday. One of the awesome things about the evenings at The Approach (as well as being mildly depressing) is their habit of popping old Forest season reviews on the screens while we wait for the guest to arrive. Last night they had the 1992/93 season which saw Frank Clark [...]

Apologies for yet another post on this, but my laptop is shut down so I’m back on the mobile (so can bombard you with new things, but not edit old ones easily!) – but I was excited to get these photographs emailed to me from a kind soul who took pity on my bemoaning of [...]

It was very much a game of two halves for the Evening With Billy Davies at The Approach tonight, I thought. I posted briefly from my phone after the first ‘half’ – which was basically Darren Fletcher putting a number of his own questions to him, in which I thought Billy came across very well [...]

First half of Billy Davies night is just over, and the gaffer has been on an impassioned charm offensive. He’s been at pains to rubbish the numerous stories circulating – he’s not quitting, he’s not been disciplined by the club and Kelvin Wilson is not on strike. He’s been quite guarded, and reiterated his role [...]

It’s been covered elsewhere, but in the absence of any transfer news to comment on, the leaking of Forest’s new kit for the season is probably the most exciting news we’ve had this week. Actually, I’m quite liking it, it’s simple, unfussy and definitely a Forest kit – which is always a good thing. Certainly [...]

Hot on the heels of news that Dele Adebola’s injury wasn’t as bad as first feared, the Reds decided that they could do with one less striker by loaning out Joe Garner to League One Huddersfield Town for 6 months. Personally I’m a bit disappointed, whilst I concede fully he’s got some rough edges, I [...]

Back in June I posted about a survey tackling the issue of homosexuality in football, and largely reinforcing the general view that it’s rather a taboo subject. Hopefully a few of you clicked through the link and filled in the survey as a result to help the study – certainly there must have been a [...]

It’s been speculated since last January that we’d quite like to secure the services of Darren Pratley from Swansea City. Indeed, recent rumours of the class Forest transfer-policy of a derisory bid have been doing the rounds over the last couple of days, to the point where Huw Jenkins – Swansea’s chairman – has felt [...]

It’s quite ironic that I just finished reading an account of two men who always seemed to struggle to get on with football directors and chairman. Because we seem to be having a bit of history repeating itself on that score at the moment at the City Ground, with Billy spouting off in the press [...]
