From My Seat


"Opinions are like a***holes, eveyone has one" - so let's hear yours'.

Looking back and looking forward...

Last season was a significant one for me. My first full one as a season card holder which gave me a completely different perspective. Not only personally but the opportunity to interact with so many fellow Forest supporters and actually get a real fe...

Young Nigel & Uncle Garry - Live & Uncut

You don't get the chance to hear Young Nigel speak anywhere near enough. When you do the suspicion has always remained that maybe growing up in the shadow of Old Big 'ead might have made him a little more cautious with his words than his DNA might ha...
Martin O'Neill transfer policy NFFC

Transferring responsibility

I think it's safe to say the five new signings, whether decent or not, are not Martins. You can bet they are the first off the new transfer panel's approved list. Maybe I'm a bit old and unsophisticated to appreciate the modern structure of a footbal...
The Karanka Saga

The Karanka Saga - what does it say about them, us and our club?

The last couple of months have been very strange. I distinctly remember driving past The City Ground in my car listening to Colin Fray and Chippers talking about the Ipswich game and feeling very confident about how the season was panning out finally...
NFFC need patience

Patience is a virtue

It's Christmas and we sit only a few points outside the playoff places. Not a bad position really, something probably 90% of supporters would have settled for at this point before the first ball was kicked this season. Could it be better? Probably 10...

Reasons to be cheerful, 1, 2, 3!

It hasn't been the start any of us would have expected. The team was obviously going to take time to gel and preseason had gone very well, but as soon as the first ball was kicked it seemed to have come to nought. Strangely, if not inexplicably, the ...

It's not rocket science

However you paint it, it hasn't been the most inspiring start to the season and certainly not what we would have hoped for or expected. Now there's a wide divide in opinion amongst the Forest fans about where we are, where we are going and what needs...
Aitor Karanka NFFC Portrait

A lot of heat but not much light?

Above all else I want Forest to be successful. I care more about how we as a club do it than who. Sure, I will always tend to support the current players and hope they're 'the ones' who are going to get it right but it's as a whole and not individual...
Ben Brereton Art

How would you sell Ben Brereton on eBay?

I'm probably too soft to be a football manager these days. I personally would buy into the players - their characters and hope to achieve success through a strong team ethic. Based on the same principles Cloughie employed. It proved incredibly succes...
Evangelos Marinakis Forest Owner

An Immaculate Summer of Business

There have been huge changes at The City Ground in the last year. I always hoped that the shambles that marked The Fawaz Circus were somewhat exaggerated and things really weren't that bad. Only visiting the ground from time to time it was hard to kn...
