Not going to happen overnight but it’s about ambition for our city.
Life as a Forest fan is never straightforward. The highs keep us going through the bad times. We can remember as it was only a year ago having our best season for 30 years. To not push on from that is gutting. But it’s far from over. 9 massive PL games & not out the EL yet. Keep the hope #nffc
We could have an international one - Tiger Woods?
This was a fun episode. Chris is always great value. We pre-recorded it last night & got distracted by the Spurs collapse! Also had to update it this morning to cover the latest ticket price drop. Give it a listen Forest fans. #NFFC
I welcome the decision by Forest to reduce ticket prices for tomorrow nights Europa League match. After a 30 year wait for these sort of games we need a full stadium. The club acknowledging that prices were set too high shows that fans voices can be heard & the club can listen & act. #nffc

Places for People need to bring forward proposals to replace the park without making the tenants pay for it. As local Cllrs we will continue to pursue this.

Always great to be on @forestfocuspod.bsky.social after a good performance & a really valuable point. Seeing the Man City players moaning about Refs adds to the joy. 115 reasons to watch/listen to the pod. #NFFC
Just a quick reminder that Man City fans & players might be banging on about their non existent penalty they think they should have had but we know who the real cheats are 👇
No late winner for the cheats tonight. Super Murillo put pay to that. Morgan & Elliot too. What a team performance #nffc
Think it’s safe to say not many people in the UK are happy with Trump. Or according to the latest polls even his own electors either!
✅ More street cleaning
✅ Free Bulky Waste collections
✅ Reintroduce youth services
✅ More £ for Parks
✅ Ward budgets 4 local activities
✅ Better welfare rights service
✅ More Community Protection Officers
✅ Roads & Pavement repairs
Still lots more to do. It’s a start
City council meeting
Budget meeting of Nottingham City Council tonight. It will be the first budget where I’m voting for an increase in funding since I joined the council in 2013. The austerity the previous Tory govt imposed on our city will take years to repair. The work starts now.
A lot has been said online about Iranian communities here supporting the attacks - as most Iranians in the UK fled from the regime. Presume this wasn’t the case here then?
vm.tiktok.com/ZNRaCchdP/ - my post match therapy- it helps to talk. Forest season is far from over. Enjoy every minute even if it’s hard to watch. #nffc
😠 A relegation performance
😧 Big errors from big players
🤔 Change formation to save season?

Sels makes a surprise return. Awoniyi and Netz on the bench with no Ortega, Morato or Lucca in the squad. A win takes #nffc five points clear of West Ham.

If you’re a Forest fan of a certain age you will have bought a copy of Brian, the mother of all #nffc fanzines. @marpsdavid.bsky.social finds the words to pay a wonderful tribute to Julie who was the driving force behind it. Off now to find my back copies.
Life imitates art.
29 years ago, Wag the Dog told the story of a US president mired in sex scandal that threatened to undermine his presidency so he decided he needed to concoct a make-believe war to boost his support.
Enjoyed this today - Mikey & me getting last night out of our system & being positive for the rest of the season & Matt becoming an agent for @tinietempah.bsky.social …😉 have a listen to find out. #nffc
As a minimum they should pay for the damage. A ban on their fans for a game or two might be in order too given they threw flares on the pitch too!
Chance to read about & give your views on the changes in council structures in Notts. It’s long overdue to move from 9 councils to 2. Sensible change which will benefit future generations. I’m backing option Bii which creates a south west council & a north east one.
