The January transfer window was always going to be a busy 31 days for Nottingham Forest, and it took almost nine days before the first official bid was submitted. This one, however, certainly caught me off guard, as an £18m bid was submitted for Palmeiras youngster Danilo. I didn’t expect to be writing about a…
This Tuesday, Notts County welcome visitors Boreham Wood in a National League clash which can see the Magpies maintain their 5-point lead or add to such, if Wrexham drop points in their game against Bromley.

Thank the heavens for non-league football following a day which saw Nottingham Forest dumped out of the FA Cup away to Blackpool, and Mansfield Town drop points at home to Barrow Town in League Two, Nottinghamshire’s non-league contingent, for their part, were showing the way forward. Led by National League leaders, Notts County, extending their…
A heavy 4-1 defeat against Blackpool sees Nottingham Forest crash out of the FA Cup in the third round. Goals from Ekpiteta, Poveda, Hamilton and Jerry Yates (with a late consolation goal from Ryan Yates) confounded a miserable afternoon for Forest, as poor defensive errors, and lack of a clinical final touch from the reds,…

Having followed Nottingham Forest for almost 20 years, from the lows of League One to the highs of Wembley last season, I alongside every other fan, have just gone with the motions of the crazy, albeit necessary, transfer window this summer.

This Saturday Notts County returns to The EBB Stadium (The Recreation Ground) for the fourth time since dropping into the National League in 2019.

The festivities over with for another year, but some things still remained over the holiday period, a smattering of non-league footballing action delivering presents (or pieces of coal if your side lost) to their loving, endearing supporters, who’ve been there through thick and thin. In Nottinghamshire, over said holiday season, it was the season, near…
Sat on Santa’s knee in the Griffin and Spalding department store by Market Square, aged five, I was tongue-tied until my mum mouthed ‘a Forest shirt’. She had primed me on the bus journey to the grotto as to what to ask for but the words deserted me. Come Christmas Day morning, I got my…
