2020 winners Arsenal have experienced it, 2021 winners and holders Leicester City have now experienced it too, next up Huddersfield Town who last won it 100 years ago, those Yorkshire Terriers of our very own Championship will also get to experience it for themselves… A rocking City Ground at it’s very best. Banked on the…
On Friday night at the City Ground, fans rallied together to precisely place a series of huge flags and banners in the Trent End stand ready for the following days hotly contested ‘derby game’ with the auld enemy from west A52. Forza Garibaldi are the genius behind the work of also previous unbelievable graphics that…
For many years the voice of Notts County Football Club was almost as recognisable as those famous black and white striped shirts themselves. Colin Slater MBE, born in Bradford on 28th February 1934, sadly passed away aged 87 today, January 10th 2022, but with that sad news of a legendary and iconic local sports figure…
Whilst many in Nottingham will be chomping at the bit for a high-octane Premier League cup draw this weekend which will be played in front of a packed City Ground house and televised late Sunday afternoon on ITV sport, some fans will instead be less optimistic, saying begrudgingly ‘not them again’, as for the fourth…
We don’t usually do gossip and hearsay at the Nottingham Sport. We leave that for other publications to concentrate on in vain attempt for clickbait to their own websites, but we do monitor the walls of Twitter and Facebook as frequently as we read our local and less local press nemeses’ to see what’s going…
It’s that time of the year again… No, not that time we used to celebrate as Christmas with all our family and friends, but the time when the UK Government tells us to mask up, jab up, stay safe and don’t party or mix with any other humans in fear of catching the latest deadly…
It’s been a while I know… Every so often I’ve been hacking around at my local course at Edwalton, trying to find my balls in the leaves fallen from the trees, but post October I admit I rarely get out, too cold, too wet, too muddy, too dark, too damn hard to find my balls…
We don’t really celebrate birthdays at Nottingham Sport, call us apathetic if you dare, but if we did, we would be celebrating every day through the Twittersphere and social walls of the internet, after all, someone somewhere is always saying ‘happy birthday’ to someone somewhere on any given day, so if we did this just…
There’s a tweet currently doing the rounds that states “advice”… “If you are looking to apply for the vacant Nottingham Forest Managers job, don’t do it”… A statement echoed by many throughout the football world, a poisoned chalice that is the City Ground top job, twenty plus years of misery, obscurity from the best league…
Across the Atlantic, America’s famed, ‘Road to the Super Bowl’ has now begun, as the 32 teams from the AFC & NFC, combined, known as the NFL, battle it out for a place in next February’s, global, showpiece, at the SoFi Stadium, Inglewood, California. Last time out, at the Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida,…
Walking out from the Coventry Building Society Arena on Sunday evening the feeling was very much, same old Forest, after a promising start fell into late defeat and a second half of negative football that in the end, simply backfired. The personnel may have tweaked, rather than changed too much during the summer, the optimism…
The Bookmakers don’t usually get it wrong, and this season it is they that have Mansfield Town as joint third favourites for promotion in League Two, with four spots open to those brave enough to take on the challenge, word is that Nigel Clough is building a team that is going to be in and…
It all seems a little underwhelming, but Nottingham Forest open-up their EFL Championship campaign this Sunday at Coventry City as a real life full crowd for the first time in the league since seemingly ever, and the SKY cameras once again of course, cast anticipated eye on the sky blues and garibaldi reds at the…
From a season long loan to having hopes pinned firmly on his young shoulders. It may be unfair to suggest that Nottingham Forest’s Brennan Johnson is now ‘ready’ to step in to first team shoes, but having played in three of the clubs four pre-season friendlies so far this summer, it looks to be that…
I have always wanted to play here, a long-term listener to those that have walked the course and who always seem to swear by it, I trudged the Grantham Canal path with wife and dog, taking a look over the hedge on my midweek hike to see what looked a place in extremely good nick,…
Trying to find a tedious link to Nottingham without mentioning the obvious like when Jack Grealish was once on loan at Notts County or that time Jordan Pickford had a night out at Rock City… But football is the nations game and people from Nottingham, like you, like me, would have last night cheered the…
Quintessentially English golf (a Scottish founded sport of course) is something to behold. Nothing better than making your way into a proper old golf club to see a stunning manor house or stately styled home which is still used as the clubhouse. Beeston Fields is in the heart of the city, a stone’s throw from…
Jimmy Anderson, Jofra Archer, Stuart Broad, all world class international cricketers of the highest order and all beneath one Luke Fletcher in the County Championship bowling rankings this season. The Bulwell Bomber is top of the lot, of any bowler that has bowled more than three overs in the County Championship this summer, Fletch is…
An eighteen-year-old understudy to the likes of Des Walker and Michael Dawson, I remember watching Wes Morgan burst through the scene under Paul Hart at Forest, thinking to myself… “He could have as decent a career as those aforementioned.” People laughed at me, when I said ‘he could one day play for England’ at a…
Following last months borderline crossing to play the fabulous Morley Hayes Golf Club in Derbyshire (which you can read all about here), we are back in blighty for this month’s review as I fine tune one of Nottinghamshire’s most popular venues and one I myself have not been to for quite a few years. I…
