Over the past month, the Nottingham Panthers have been extremely busy with signings for the 2024/25 season, securing eight new additions. Today, I will break down these signings and discuss some of the players who have confirmed their departures from the Panthers. Let’s start with the departures. Joe Hazeldine was the first to leave, having…
The transfer window is officially open, and so the ‘fun’ begins – Forest are starting it by raising £20m in order to meet PSR rules before June 30th, and head into the next period with no punishments. Of course, links have been present en masse, with one concrete link made in Brazil, in the form…
It was a disappointing start for former two-time winners the Notts Outlaws as they went down to a heavy defeat to Northamptonshire Steelbacks on the second evening of this season’s twenty20 Vitality Blast competition. It was the visitor’s first win at Trent Bridge in the short format, and it gave them two wins from two…
Following on from their heavy defeat in the first match of the season, Nottinghamshire have managed to reach the mid-table range with one win in seven games in Division One of the County Cricket Championship. In a fixture spoiled by the rain, Joe Clarke struck a century and Lyndon James hit 96 batting at number…
There’s a curious case going on around Nottingham Forest defender, Omar Richards, although owner Evangelos Marinakis has probably seen more of him that Forest fans themselves in recent times. At 26-years-old the south-east London born, former Reading and Bayern Munich player joined the Reds from the German giants after he played seventeen times Die Roten…
It had been a run-in that was looking like Craig Hammond’s Nottingham rugby cohorts might finish on a low, after all, prior to facing Caldy under the Friday Night Lights at Lady Bay, the Archers had lost four straight and the season was petering out. However, and despite a delayed kick-off, a crowd of more…
Summer of 2024, and arguably the biggest in recent times as far as Notts County Football Club are concerned, is upon us. Many of sides in Sky Bet League Two have already kick started their recruitment for 24/25, and some admittedly have hit gold with some free business and you only have to look at…

Many in the game felt this season’s teams promoted to the Premiership would soon find themselves back in the Championship. And, much to the relief of Forest fans, so it proved to be. Sheffield United, Burnley and Luton Town have sat in the basement all year, emphasising – as if it were needed – the…
The 23/24 Sky Bet League Two campaign, one that may not live too long in the memories of many at Meadow Lane, but one that will undoubtedly remain in the memory of record-breaking Jodi Jones. From signing on a two-year permanent deal at the end of the 22/23 season following promotion with the club from…
How a Forest lifeline saw the second coming of Callum Hudson-Odoi. Once touted for a move to Bayern Munich worth £70m, Callum Hudson-Odoi rose to prominence at the age of just 17; Camera’s, Microphones, Eyes, all pointed on him – a superstar fresh out of Cobham. Despite the fairytale start, there was a nightmarish period,…
In a shrewd move by Nottingham Forest, Benfica’s chief Scout – Pedro Ferreira – has been poached, with the club looking to bolster their recruitment strategy, which is part advised by George Syrianos, the clubs ex-recruitment lead, turned advisor.

Last Tuesday, The Nottingham Panthers announced that Danny Stewart would be the new Panthers head coach for the 2024/25 season. I will get on to the appointment later but first I need to catch you all up on the events since the Panthers Awards night. Firstly, we have to say bon voyage to Jonathan…
Between Alexandria in Egypt and Dubai, Forest put in a decent performance against the might of Manchester City at the City Ground. Cruising at 550mph and an altitude of 36,000 feet, flying over parched land and through blue skies, I don’t know this at the time. When we land in Perth, Western Australia, it’s a…

There’s been play-off semi-finals, and finals, for the Nottinghamshire non-league scene, this past week, but there’s been no joy for the county’s clubs as Worksop Town, Carlton Town, Newark Town, and Retford United, all suffered defeat in their respective outings. Elsewhere, and lower down the great footballing pyramid, their was success on the field for…
After Team Great Britain’s thrilling shootout win against Poland, I had the chance to speak with Nottingham Panthers forward Logan Neilson. Neilson has had an incredibly successful first professional season, earning him an international call-up and an award for the best under 23 British player.
