Exciting times at the City Ground as Forest outline detailed plans to expand the ground to 45,000 & possibly up to 52,000. A vision for a transformation of not just the ground but the whole area. Backing from Claire Ward - East Mids Mayor for this bold plan. forms.office.com/pages/respon... #NFFC

Shall we all watch the match on the TV lads? Another 5 + mins VAR farce last night. Ruled out the Jesus goal but thankfully he had a second coming #nffc

Lovely chat with Pete & Matt about tomorrow’s game and much more. #nffc

Any Forest fan wanting a bit more content than you get in a tweet - or even a pod - should pay £3 for a copy of Mist Rolling In fanzine. Written by fans for fans. #NFFC

A fact being ignored even more than usual: 70% of the money from abolishing the two-child limit will go to families who are in work (via @ippr.org).

✅ City Ground under the lights ✅ Special European night ✅ @Forza_Garibaldi display ✅ Miracle Men on the pitch ✅ Still buzzing from Saturday ✅ Dyche - Stone - Woan ✅ On the road to Istanbul ✅ Crowd make it loud ✅ Team make us proud #NFFC

www.tumblr.com/followingfor... Winning 3-0 at Anfield doesn’t happen very often for Forest, so I’ve celebrated with another blog! #nffc

Last seasons 1-0 win was the start of something special - today’s 3-0 was another level. Awaydays don’t come much better than this. #NFFC #InYourHeadArne

Montage of 19 clips of Trump insulting, berating, demeaning and attacking female reporters over the past few months. Part 1.

I’m addicted to books. Need to have 3 months doing nothing so I can get through my current reading list! #BookSky

In 2020 Keir Starmer and Alf Dubs urged the then Conservative Government to restore their commitment to family reunion for child refugees, saying there was a “moral argument” to protect desperately vulnerable young people. Five years later Dubs condemns Starmer for doing the complete opposite

Binge watched #RiotWomen over the weekend. Wow. Brilliant stuff. Hope the #BBC put money into this rather than paying anything to Trump.

The Wollaton Christmas Tree & lights switch on event is back this year! Monday 1st December with activities from 4pm, music from 5pm and the lights switch on at 6pm at Bramcote Lane shops. Thanks to the Wollaton Rotary Club for their massive help with this year’s event.

The idea that the BBC should pay any money to Trump as a result of this is bonkers. He lies more in one day than the BBC makes mistakes in a year. #NoBBCLicenceFeeToTrump

www.youtube.com/live/wzxOZTi... At 4hrs 9mins is my contribution to the debate on the future of the council restructuring & why I believe we need to grasp the opportunity with both hands to make a change that will benefit residents for years to come. Needs vision not defending the status quo

Donald Trump in the US pardons scores of supporters for their roles in his plot to steal the 2020 election from Joe Biden and the scandal in Britain is a bad edit in a BBC hour-long programme on that attempted coup. Get a grip, people! www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I spoke in support of the proposed new boundaries for 2 councils to replace the current 9 in Notts in the city council today - ✅ A bigger city footprint can attract more investment & jobs into the city conurbation. ✅ Less duplication & confusion for residents ✅ Structures for the next 50 years

Well we needed that. Massive boost going into the international break. In Dyche we trust. #nffc

Really excellent and insightful piece about the reasons behind the recent split in and from the Labour group on Nottingham Council. There's going to be much more of this and in may become terminal for Labour if things don't change fast

Goodbye Graz. Thanks for being a great host. Take the point but we should have won! Onto the next adventure. #NFFC

Graz is looking lovely & treating us Forest fans very well. Weather is great & they’ve put up a tree for us too! #nffc

It’s not taken long for the bombing to start again. Netanyahu emboldened again - will Trump step in? Thoughts for the people of Gaza again in the continuing nightmare.

nottinghamplayhouse.co.uk/events/eurek... Saw this last night & it was brilliant. Set in a school in 18/19 it shows how a school board reacts to a mumps outbreak taking on the issues of parental choice & vaccinations. Brilliant scene around how an online meeting can quickly get out of hand! Go see.

Forest season been a mess since Nuno started to engineer his exit. Then the Ange disaster. But only 9 PL games played. 29 to go, 87 points to play for. Fans need to stay with the team & manager. 2 home league games to come. Keep the faith. #NFFC

Another brilliant interview by @mattdaviesff.bsky.social with Matt Forde - some real Forest passion as ever from Matt F but wonderful words about grief & loss & living life to the full despite whatever challenges come your way. You are a great role model for that Matt. Thanks. #NFFC

Goodbye (thankfully) Ange & Welcome Sean Dyche. Another new era but one we all need to get behind. My shortened blog explores why this had to happen. #NFFC www.tumblr.com/followingfor...

www.iod.com/director/art... - a good article looking at the arguments for an expansion of city boundaries & how it can help economic development. The article uses examples from Nottingham & elsewhere. Don’t fall for the negativity of keeping lots of small councils. Embrace the change.

Wow. What an absolutely brilliant night. #ToKillAMockingbird @nottmplayhouse.bsky.social - adapted for the stage by Aaron Sorkin is a masterpiece. On in Nottm until 18/10 then on a limited tour. You won’t regret getting a ticket. All actors compelling but Anna Munden as Scout stood out. 5🌟

One of the key battles tomorrow. Keep Elanga quiet & we have a chance & if anyone can it’s Neco …. famous last words! #NFFC #MoreInHopeThanExpectation

More thought, planning & skill went into that brilliant @forza-garibaldi.bsky.social display than the club put into our ability to defend set pieces. This mess is on the owner yes but also on Edu/Nuno for acting like kids, but the last 6 games are on Ange for doing a 180 on the team. #NFFC

#NFFC - It’s going to be like this for a while - weeks probably. Aina is a big loss, Murillo too obviously & now Luiz. Hard to get a settled side when we’re playing twice a week & he’s trying to get minutes into players legs. It looked a bit like youth football at times, a bit of kick and run. 1/2

Just read this - lovely crime(ish) funny novel with a good insight into the property scams / money laundering we all know exists but is rarely if ever exposed & dealt with. Will have to look up his other books now. #BookSky

A brilliant account of the trip to Seville to see Forest back in Europe for the first time in 30 years. Not many of us ever thought these days would come around again. Let’s hope this one goes all the way through to next May! #nffc

Watch the Trump speech on autism from behind the sofa. This guy is running the world & he shouldn’t be allowed to run a bath. Scary stuff. 😮
