We hate Derby and we hate Derby…

In this part of the world, there is only one true derby game. Leicester think they're part of the rivalry but in comparison to this fixture, they're a distant relative. Growing up as a kid, I've been refused entry at a mates' house by his Dad unless I took my Forest...

Away Q&A – Derby County – Matchday 15

So the big one on Saturday and I can feel myself doing my best Phil Mitchell impression with some big sighing going on at the thought of defeat. It's one of those where it feels like Christmas but then you know if could be the worst day ever too. Live and die by the...

View from a Millennial Red- Stella

Away Q&A: Luton Town – Matchday 14

I’m genuinely gutted I haven’t got a ticket for Saturday’s game at Kenilworth Road. Luton Town brings back a lot of great memories for me as a kid and not always necessarily to do with Forest. Back in the 80’s, they had some cracking players in Mark and Brian Stein,...
