I haven't been to the CG in many years - due to both circumstances and the fact that I now live in Cornwall! I do, however, have my eye on attending Forest vs Chelsea on 11th May. I'll look into a ticket for the 'disabled section' next week. Assuming I can get a ticket, which are the go-to pubs that you chaps attend for pre-match sherries? It would be great to meet those here attending the game.

Trent bridge inn mate would be an honour to meet you,

TBI and Navi is where I usually go before the match.

I believe some of the posters on here like DTP occasionally Bowie go to the Trent bridge inn, I go to the boat club next to the ground, costs a pound to get in for non supporter members. Cheap beer but that's about it.

Or you could try the new fans zone, it's at the back of the Brian Clough stand. Supposed to be ok, not been yet.

RV, the same boat club Forest have had an issue with agreeing planning permission regarding the new stand.
Anyway, if the weather's good get to the Trent Navigation, if not or you just want cheaper beer the TBI is were you need to be.

It's got to be better than anything by Boyzone, Red Vale.

I go in the boat club too, access for legless might not be easy though,

OK thanks for the heads-up everyone. It would be great to meet up with as many of you chaps as possible before/ after the Chelsea game if I can get a ticket. I'd be on an early train from Cornwall and over-nighting in Notttingham after the match. Just looking at hotels near the CG now.

It's the Britannia club that's the problem, the boat and union clubs aren't affected by the proposed stand. What's so annoying is that the Brit club hasn't been open for two years. Nottingham university interface.

Beeches hotel on Wilford lane is pretty good,

Loads of options for cheap accommodation and now set on going to the TBI before/ after- happy with that! All down to whether I can get a ticket. Thanks guys. BTW - Stevie thanks for thinking about me and access issues. I'll crawl through broken glass for a beer before watching Forest!

Thanks again chaps. I think that you'll clock-me very quickly when I enter the TBI! I really hope I can sort this for the 11th May. It would be great to meet with you all.

I really hope I can get this sorted for 11th May - it will be great to meet with as many of you as possible. I guess that you'll clock-me pretty quickly when I enter the TBI!
