"Forest linked with MSL star striker Cyle Larin".
I live near Orlando and have watched Cyle Larin for a couple of years. He would be an excellent acquisition for Forest. He is fast a goal poacher and young. Every time I watch him play I say, "Forest need to get him". Orlando City's loss would be Forest's gain.

Been a bit disappointing of late though I might try to cheer some up with this story.
My trip to London's Wembley Stadium. May 2nd 1959. Nottingham Forest vs Luton Town.
If my memory serves me well I do believe we traveled by train to London that in of itself was an adventure for a 13 year old boy and his younger cousin Alan. I had followed my beloved Nottingham Forest with excitement and anticipation as they traversed the earlier rounds of the F. A Cup. Even to the extent of skipping school to go watch the 5th round replay against Birmingham City. Also a notable trip to Hillsborough to see Forest beat Aston Villa 1-0 in the semi final. But this was Wembley and the final. Forest started the game at a cracking pace playing wonderful attacking football and within 14 minutes were two goals ahead. But at the 33rd minute the fateful Wembley injury curse struck and my favorite player and scorer of the first goal Roy Dwight had to be carried off on a stretcher with a broken leg. From then on it was an uphill climb as Luton Town took control of the game against the 10 men of Nottingham Forest. Substitutes were not allowed in 1959. Then as Forest held on they were basically reduced to 9 men as full back Bill Whare was crippled with cramp. He was forced to limp along wide on the wing where he was little more than a spectator. Luton bombarded the Forest goal and scored in the 66th minute. However at the final whistle it was my courageous Forest who were the victors. No 13 year old boy had ever been happier. I was thrilled as I watched captain Jack Burkitt lift the famous trophy receiving it from the hand of Queen Elizabeth herself.
More than 65 years later I still love to watch Forest play, but I don't think I will ever be as proud of my team as I was the day I saw the nine and a half heroic Forest men beat Luton town 2-1 at Wembley Stadium in the F. A. Cup. YOU REDS!

I mentioned this a while back. I will be over in the Uk on the 25th. I was hoping to be able to get to a match with my son. I guess no way to get tickets. My question is regarding the 29th. As it's a cup match on a week night could I get tickets if I just showed up.

Is it the league cup you’re looking at?
2.) 14 Aug 2023 09:42:44
Exiled - if I was you I’d contact the ticket office mate, I doubt you’d be able to just get one on the day but I’m sure the ticket office would try and accommodate you. You need membership numbers to get tickets but the cup game would be a good chance for you ?.

Notice chelsea have spent 842 million on players makes our transfers seem like pocket money.

Been saying this for years Bondster mate. Keeps things in perspective a bit doesn’t it. Liverpool about y to spend £115 m on the Brighton lad.

Arsenal are selling them exiled ?.

Well now the fixtures are out I will find myself in the UK London area for the 2nd Sept match v Chelsea. I would absolutely love to go to the match. I'd much rather go to the City ground but that is not possible. Does anyone know how I could possible acquire 2 tickets. Naturally I would love to be with Forest fans but I'll take what I can.
Supported Forest for 70 years been awhile since I was at a live match although I am able to watch every one on TV here in USA.

Good luck exiled sir ?.
2.) 15 Jun 2023 21:48:13
I might have one ticket available……but that depends on weather or not my good friends Bowie and 2Tone want to go!
But I will keep you posted as I’m always happy to help out a fellow jolly ??.
3.) 15 Jun 2023 22:09:23
Brilliant of ya jolly son. ?.
4.) 15 Jun 2023 22:13:58
Hope your able to get exiled.
5.) 15 Jun 2023 22:30:41
Thanks Jolly. I have a nephew lives in London and he has a friend who is a Chelsea fan and could maybe get tickets. Do think I'd be safe in the Chelsea end. Not sure i could contain myself if Forest score :)

Two matches I could never forget.
Man U Busby Babes at city ground playing newly promoted Forest. The ground was so full we kids were allowed to sit on the sidelines all around the pitch. We lost 2-1 but what a privilege to see such great players so close up before the tragic plane crash.
Then pretty much the same team winning FA cup 2-1 vs Luton with 10 men after Roy Dwight broke his leg. One of those endings you can barely watch just like the recent Arsenal game. COYR.

Great post exiled red, bless ya mate. ?.

I don't post often but I do check in on ya every day. Thanks for all the info and banter. I live in Florida near Orlando and I watch every Forest match. Been a supporter for almost 70 years. I have a question for anyone who might be able to help. I plan on being in the UK August 28th to Sept 4th and would love to see a match preferably at the City Ground. Any idea if it would be possible to get a hold of a couple of tickets. I realize the schedule will not be known for quite a while yet and hopefully we are still in the prem. I just wonder if it’s even a possibility so I can plan my time in England accordingly. I would love to experience the City ground one more time.

Bless ya exile ,good luck with that one. Hope you get your wish my friend.

thanks all. at least I have tickets for
the Sheffield Wednesday game. I think I will get them for Rotherham also
30 Aug 2018 21:16:48
I have a customer ref number but when I came to check out I was told I needed to pay 30 quid to be a member to buy the tickets. I guess they are not on sale yet to general public
