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.

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. ?.

Just thinking how many of us the site are a significant distance away. Does anyone live in W Bridgford? Same issue for me on Saturday: Motd highlights and wait for 'you tube' coverage. Sky has certainly lost its shine from years back-in Cricket as well. Ashes coming up? So I'll be following the text on my phone at that silly hour to play football! Backing Hutchinson to score!
