    FOREST FOCUS SPECIAL: WOULD LEAVING THE CITY GROUND BE A DISASTER FOR NOTTINGHAM FOREST?

    FOREST FOCUS SPECIAL: WOULD LEAVING THE CITY GROUND BE A DISASTER FOR NOTTINGHAM FOREST?

    As Nottingham Forest potentially head to an exit from the City Ground, we speak to fans of Tottenham, West Ham and Everton to get their views on leaving their former stadiums in White Hart Lane and Upton, or impending move from Goodison Park in Everton's case.

    Do they hate the change or welcome it? What have they lost and gained by moving? How important is the location of the ground? Hopefully you find the conclusions of all three interesting as each relates to what is happening with Forest in different ways. #nffc

    EVANGELOS MARINAKIS CONFIRMS HE WANTS NOTTINGHAM FOREST TO LEAVE THE CITY GROUND

    EVANGELOS MARINAKIS CONFIRMS HE WANTS NOTTINGHAM FOREST TO LEAVE THE CITY GROUND

    Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis appears to have made it clear he wants to leave the City Ground after telling the Daily Mail: ‘It will change the history in years to come of the region and the team for our supporters. It will be hard to leave the City Ground but in an age when revenue streams dictate success on the pitch, there’s no doubt moving to a bigger facility will set the club on the right path.’

    Matt Davies gives his thoughts on that news having spoken with fans of other clubs who have moved or are about to. You can check that out here from 11am: https://youtu.be/vNrFYjvV3CU #NFFC

    HOW GOOD OR BAD ARE NOTTINGHAM FOREST? | IS NUNO THE MAN? | BALL IN CLUB'S COURT OVER CITY GROUND?

    Nottingham Forest are set to be in the Premier League for a third straight season after Luton Town and Burnley lost on Saturday before the Reds were beaten by Chelsea.

    We'll discuss the weekend in full as some fans rallied behind manager Nuno, while others want him to go in the summer. We'll also discuss the latest City Ground developments as fans voice their desire to stay while The Athletic say the club can buy the freehold for around £10m.

Yankee Doodle Dandy NFFC ,

Great Podcast

Yank here. It may not be the only Forest podcast I listen to but it’s my favorite and the first one on my list. Reminds me of the days Temps scoring at the Trent End.

Losing traction

Good initial transition from Garibaldi Red, but probably due to trying to make too many episodes, there seems to be a proliferation of piffle making its way into the episodes. Examples like: discussion about random podcaster’s wife not liking lamb, favorite curry, promotion of events that you would need to live in Nottingham to attend, etc.
Does Matt, how about editing before uploading?

Detroit London ,

Glad to hear you!

I was a regular on the Garibaldi Red podcast/youtube episodes and was saddened when I tuned in and this crew was gone. Then I came across Forest Focus. Same group, same wisdom, same interaction - it’s great. Tune in to FF and get updated. Regards from Detroit!
