My first visit to the city ground was 1949 so you can guess I am quite old but still compos mentis. I was a season ticket holder until a few years ago when a knee replacement operation has prevented me from assessing my front row seat in the Brian Clough stand so its now on TV or radio.
I have sky sports but Forest getting into Europe ends up on TNT. I refuse to pay another subscription I am unlikely to use. Okay, so I will listen on line to BBC radio Nottingham. As soon as pre match finishes they are not allowed to do commentary because I live in Lincolnshire.
The final straw is that the forthcoming game against Chelsea is on TNT. In other words only Sky gives me a chance to see the games but I have noticed they seem to be filling their schedule with championship matches, its probably cheaper.
At least when I die I am being cremated in my Forest shirt. Loyal to the end eh!
The final.

Great post that h2.
I'm a yad younger mate, first match 1968 and lucky enough to have a season ticket but I live in North Yorkshire and it takes over two hours to get to home matches. It's exhausting but I'll do until until I can't.
I'm with you entirely about TNT. I have sky but won't pay for anything else, not even radio. It's BBC for Christ's sake. We pay a licence already.
So it's home matches or Sky. I won't get to see us in Europe either unfortunately.
15 Oct 2025 11:09:31
If you Google bbc radio Nottingham, they have most matches on and can listen via your browser. Then i connect my phone to the work van and happy days.
But yeah i pay for sky and TNT but only because i live so far away that making home games is stupidly hard nowadays. Often think i could get a season ticket for the price i pay for the sports subscriptions. 🌳.
15 Oct 2025 11:40:26
You lost me at 'browser' mate.
14 Oct 2025 20:29:37
Good to see Ando saving his best pair of shooting boots for Saturday🤣🌳.
14 Oct 2025 21:52:00
Remember the comments on here about Tuchel (and England) being useless? How many of us have learned the lesson about writing off players and managers?
Anderson still looks like he can't shoot. If he could just start putting the ball in the net then the sky is the limit.
14 Oct 2025 22:07:06
We haven't played anyone cyclist it would be like anges forest playing non league teams every week and saying he's done a good job 🤣🤣.
15 Oct 2025 10:52:26
Oy Stellaboy. Don't knock Non league.
15 Oct 2025 11:48:15
Not knocking non league football, baldy, lol. I enjoy it I'm on about the gap between the teams.
14 Oct 2025 19:21:02
Seeing Spence in the England team reminded me of the team that won the playoffs. A player we couldn't keep or Garner ( starts for Everton ) or Samba ( on the bench for France ). Interestingly Yates remains. Henderson ( England ) we couldn't sign. Will we be regretting by the end of January, adding to that list. What happens next re AP will dictate who leaves.
14 Oct 2025 20:49:57
All done their bit for the Mighty Reds!
14 Oct 2025 20:57:34
I'd like to think we've moved on from most of them now, Spence being the exception but if i remember rightly he wasn't interested in a permanent move anyway.
If he's still not getting games at Arsenal maybe send Zinchenko back and get Lewis-Skelly instead for the second half of the season. 🌳.
14 Oct 2025 15:06:15
Just been reading about Marco Silva, apparently he has no intention of signing a new contract with Fulham, several clubs from Saudi Arabia and ourselves are tracking him.
It will cost 8 million to get him out of his contract early which to me is an expensive mistake from our hierarchy but heyho its not my money. He's definitely Mr M's preferred choice, makes you wonder why we didn't just go after him before giving Nuno a new contract, mercenary yes but that's football these days.
If we take a kickin Saturday lunchtime the toxicity from our own fans will be telling. I really hope we don't and I'd like to see Ange get it right because i love his style of football but the definitely need to be more a balanced approach.
I worry that we will become the Watford of the midlands and through a rediculously high turn over of managerial staff have absolutely zero continuity.
Fingers crossed for Saturday. 🌳
(it can be written in a non toxic and depressing way😉)
14 Oct 2025 18:23:49
I understand where your coming from RRH, but the supporters I believe have had enough and won't tolerate much more. have you seen any improvement with the last couple of games? I haven't but then I'm not a conicre like some. I found it interesting on the redevelopment of the ground, all very exciting but you can't move at half time at the back of the Trent end so where are the extra supporters supposed to go?. death trap as it is!.
14 Oct 2025 19:39:46
Last couple definitely not mate and your point about the City Ground is spot on. When there last season i thought the same and after going to Villa Park, with being a similar type of ground but improved and much better facilities and access i got an envious feeling. 🌳.
14 Oct 2025 20:08:29
If we are going to make a change of coach, Silva or someone of his calibre should be appointed. As for Silva's 8 million release clause, cheap at double the price if he got us competing for Europe instead of a relagation battle!.
14 Oct 2025 22:00:58
I think MR M should have found a more suitable site ( ladybay fields) comes to mind, plenty of space to build a new stadium without the restraints of where we are now. don't get me wrong l love the city ground but it's in the wrong place for what MR M wants to do. it will take years to complete, especially with the compulsory purchase of residential buildings around the ground, there will be appeals after appeals. I'd love to be proven wrong but I know how the legal system works.
14 Oct 2025 12:57:37
Obviously Ange is due to carry on the carryon. I guess we just have to bear it. The Club has really suffered from owners who are just ego-bound, such a pity. The lads will try hard for us but the Club mess is what is defeating us once again.
14 Oct 2025 18:35:12
"Carry On Up The Forest! "
🤣🤣🤣.
14 Oct 2025 19:09:16
'The club has suffered from the owners'. Unbelievable! Without big M were would we be. Not perfect by all means but who is, I definitely appreciate all his millions that he has put into the club and his passion that he shows quite often😉.
14 Oct 2025 20:01:35
We have gone from bottom of the championships to Europe and people moan about the owners? 😂🙄.
14 Oct 2025 21:06:01
Feels OK to point out the positives and also the negatives. If you want our Chairman to show his ‘passion’ by marching onto the field to berate our excellent manager, to hire Mark Clattenberg, to hire Edu, to sack Nuno, to hire Ange…. be as supportive as you want.
The only reason Ange hasn’t gone is because he was clearly Mr M’s own hire…. and that’s what makes this period difficult.
Will he stick or twist? If we twist and end up with Dyche, how will you feel about it then?
14 Oct 2025 22:09:24
🤣🤣🤣🤣 forest c great post.
14 Oct 2025 22:15:19
Guys - I hear what you're saying. However, re-read the original post from BS. To me, I interpret it that he is not talking about our owners per-se, but about their egos. Nothing about inward-investment and passion, but about the vanity-projects that have become the plague both within the PL and Championship with regards to football club ownership.
I would throw-out one question to you all. Do any of you truly believe Big M is in this for his longstanding and devout love of our great club? Of course he's not. He's a hard-nosed businessman who senses a big return on his investment. Forest is just another of his business interests - nothing more and nothing less.
15 Oct 2025 09:18:29
The new stand could have easily been extended and quickly but what M wanted and what has caused such a long delay is making it into a commercial project, in other words to make money.
The revenue from just more fans was not the aim.

Anyone watching NI vs WG. Ethan Galbraith ( Swansea out of contract in June ) and Dan Ballard ( Sunderland ). Both UK and would suit Forest.

Got to give them credit again tonight, although losing superb heart and graft shown. 🌳.

Team and formation to beat Chelsea in Saturday
Sels
Savone
Milenkovic
Murrilo
Williams
Lui
Anderson
Gibbs White/ McAtee
Ndoye
Jesus
Hutchinson
4-3-3.
13 Oct 2025 16:39:32
Apart from murillo not being LB I'd agree mate 😉.
13 Oct 2025 21:09:12
Surely MGW must start ahead of McAtee.
14 Oct 2025 09:04:33
Why he’s been awful this season simple as.
14 Oct 2025 10:59:16
We should of took the 60 million for him. his hearts not in it anymore at forest and come end of season I can only see that figure going down I'd bench him personally.
14 Oct 2025 13:46:38
Curley Skegsjay we agree on something 💥.
13 Oct 2025 10:55:21
We are Forest diehards on here and I for one am not revelling in the current situation but I like most fans are appalled at the mess being made after at last Forest starting to gain real respect again, why would anyone through sheer ego want to undo all the progress in one fell swoop.
Anyone who is happy with things that’s your prerogative, to keep telling others be happy with what you’ve got is not.
13 Oct 2025 12:04:59
Cryptic, i like it. Just say my name lol, i'm not going to throw a wobbler and withdraw from the site with my tail between my legs like some here.
Its not the opinions that get on my goat as the more diverse and varied they are make for good reading. Its the constant posting the same crap daily. Yes we all want the situation sorted out, yes we all want the best for the club. But i don't think Mr M gets the credit he deserves and definitely doesn't need to have his character assassinated on a daily basis.
Just saying.
P. S Carlo if you to take your frustration out on someone please pick me, because i find you funny. 😋🌳.

13 Oct 2025 12:18:25
Here! Here!
13 Oct 2025 13:10:51
Edu in, Nuno out, Wilson out, AP in, yes I accept full responsibility.
13 Oct 2025 17:37:01
"In out! In out!. shake it all about! "
🤣🤣🤣🤣.
13 Oct 2025 18:29:14
Lol Rogie you beat me to it 🤣🤣🌳.
13 Oct 2025 21:00:52
"Thats what it's all about" mate!
🤣🤣🤣🤣.
13 Oct 2025 05:03:15
Edu in Nuno out. Wilson out now Dyche in? What an absolute mess, and amongst all that a crock of a manager who has lost 30 of his last 45 Premier League games.
“It is who we are mate. “.
13 Oct 2025 11:34:03
Time to think about beating Chelsea comfortably on Saturday breakfast! Can't think about another loss because we know what the vibe would be! Take a risk on Hutchinson-stick him in against his old club. Sometimes happens. doesn't it?
PS Had we beaten Chelsea last time we would have been in the Champions league! Phew! Picture it now folks!
14 Oct 2025 09:08:43
I don't think 99 minutes against Chelsea will define our season again, but it's getting damm close!, a win against Chelsea would be so beneficial to try and get some momentum and team and supporters moral again.
14 Oct 2025 10:53:05
I hate to say this Mossy and Norfolk but I can't see us getting anything in our next 3 games. It’s the definition of madness to keep using the same tactics, players and methods yet expect a different result my friends.
Ange out, Dyche in gives us a much better chance of accumulating points and steadying the ship imo.
14 Oct 2025 13:48:39
Stokey, Postecoglou has only the bare squad over the break to work with, should I think start getting players back Wednesday, Thursday, Friday to doe any work with the players, not much really, agree the games coming up are difficult even our jink team Bournemouth amongst them, just hope the team can at least get something!.
Can't see Marinakis setting on another coach, who if wasn't sacked by Everton would have been in a relagation battle, also can't see Dyche excepting a contract till the end of the season.
14 Oct 2025 14:58:23
Ange might be the sort of coach to pull off a surprise win! However are Forest the sort of team to pull off a surprise win as things stand?
We'll know in the first five minutes of the match! I'm still going for Hutchinson.

12 Oct 2025 22:44:56
One saving grace is, after spending all that money on mainly attackers, I can't see Marinakis being talked into going for Dyche?, it would be like he brought a Rolls Royce with all the extras, then employing Mr Magoo as his chauffeur.
12 Oct 2025 23:01:40
Bring back Billy Davies 😁.
13 Oct 2025 07:27:19
The goals are hardly flying in though are they? It’s a horrible watch and now any team knows they are guaranteed to score a set piece against us. We thought we’d brought a Rolls Royce but it seems we haven’t. It’s likely the players are ok and may do better under a different coach but this guy is taking us to the abyss.
13 Oct 2025 09:12:34
Skegsjay when Billy Davies was sacked he had at least 11 injuries but the owner just did'nt seem to appreciate that, Its a bit late now for Billy but Sean Dyche is the nearest to it. Some people say that he is too defensive but did'nt the great Brian Clough advocate star building from the back and stop conceding goals. However having a ready made squad of players its a different ball game and I would think Dyche would be in his seventh heaven.
We have the players just get the system right!
13 Oct 2025 09:37:50
Humorist I thought. The idea and objective was to bring a attacking manager in because that's the style of play Mr m or edu wanted. so like I say we're going backwards I would rather bring cooper back than dyche.
13 Oct 2025 10:53:16
Get Stuart Pearce in as caretaker and stick a rocket up the backside of these players!
13 Oct 2025 17:04:29
Now, there's an idea Cyclist!
14 Oct 2025 14:14:55
Lessons from history comrades…. talking about Rolls Royce managers. Sometimes, in an emergency, you need a simpler, less glamorous alternative, with no frills but keeps going and gets you where you need to be, a Dyche mobile perhaps.
In WW2 the superbly engineered Tiger tank was easily the best of all the armies. Equivalent to any 3 or 4 opponents, better armoured, quicker, more powerful armament. Unfortunately, on the Russian front, a certain Mr Mikhail Koshkin designed the T 34. Easy to build and maintain but solid, no frills. Uncomfortable for the crews, noisy but dependable. I should know I’ve been in one. But you could change a track in 30 minutes and replace a worn out gun barrel in a day. Just outnumbered the Tigers and overwhelmed them in the end.
Likewise, the business like Roman sword. Short stabbing, kill and move on. None of this fancy sword play nonsense…… Do you see what I’m getting at?
14 Oct 2025 19:25:22
Yes stokey we should of stuck with nuno 🤣🤣.
