Well, I didn’t think I’d see many replies from Russia on this thread, so, Снимаю шляпу!

From Oakham Leicestershire, been in Auckland NZ for past 27 years.
Used to watch games from the old Trent End Shed till they upgraded and I moved to B Block. Then I moved to London where I mainly watched away games (back when you could still just rock up at the turnstiles) until I ultimately gave up on mother England and headed to this little rock floating around the South Pacific. Been to one league game since abandoning ship, back in the L1 days, first time in the old Exec stand. I don't come back much and when I do it's summer break time.

Hi all! Been lurking for a long time, and decided to finally register and post on this thread first as it's heart-warming to see all the stories of Forest fandom from all over the world.

I'm 48F. Born, grew up and still living in Piraeus, Greece, home of Olympiacos FC and also known as Marinakisville. I'm an architect and did a MSc course at Nottingham Uni in 2001-02, so I stayed in the city for a year, which I still hold dear and consider one of the best of my whole life. I lived on Holgate Rd in the Meadows and took the bus (lines 6, 7, 10) to the city centre from the Ryehill Street stop on Meadows Way West, which meant that I sat there waiting and gazing at the WFCG every single day. At first, I thought I'd support the underdogs Notts County, but a couple short stints on Football Manager convinced me that they were a bit of a lost cause... And then I started being sympathetic towards Forest. Coming back to Piraeus, I met and then married an avid Oly supporter and turned him into a Forest fan as well, and then suddenly Marinakis (who is also behind the mayor of 12 years here, practically the mayor himself) bought the club, which was like my 2 favourite cities and worlds happily colliding. I've been able to watch almost every Forest game since around 2015 via either cable TV or links, all the ups and (mostly) downs, and this season feels like a dream, obvs.

So, hi from another Greek supporter! You guys should also know that there's a small but extremely dedicated NFFC fan club here.

Love that, thanks for posting, and a warm welcome to the forum!

A beautiful city, one of my favourite „visits“!

€9 for a cup of coffee made me blink, though!

Now we know you’re talking about Zurich & not Gedling. Gedling was never beautiful, but is getting increasingly dump like every time I drive through.

Καλώς ήρθες! It’s always interesting to hear from Reds fans around the world and especially those from Marinakisville!

What a lovely story. Just shows how small the world is.
I hope that you and your husband get to come over for a game or two. Maybe revisit the old neighbourhood too.

And while I’m in the thread, I’m Nottingham born and bred, brought up to be a Red from the moment I knew what a football was by my equally obsessed father, saw my first game at 4, had a season ticket from the age of 6 until I went off to uni and have lived in Gloucestershire since the 80s.

Oh, and I was out on my almost-daily walk yesterday, sporting my rather old black Forest hat with the famous badge in red and a chance passer-by hailed me. Turned out he’d been a Forest fan since the early 70s (late 60s in my case). As you’d expect, our conversation was a mix of “Wouldn’t Europe be great?” and“Glad we’re safe from relegation now”.

 

[uptight9]

Thank you all for the warm welcome! I'll post from now on since I made the effort and registered . Come on you mighty Reds!

BTW, my no1 travel bucket list right now is visiting Nottingham again and watching a game with hubby and kiddos, although I've seen that tix sell out pretty fast. Our youngest is Forest through and through for the time being but our eldest is a contrarian anti-Forest and for some reason supports Villa in the Prem . Should be fun.

I hope that you and your husband get to come over for a game or two. Maybe revisit the old neighbourhood too.

Yup, that's exactly the idea!

So I've posted my current and past home details on here before.
However, I've just sold/packed up everything and am off for about a year.
Vague plan is mainly South East Asia with possibly visits to India and Africa.
I'm currently in Phuket for the first month.
How long do I need to stay in one spot to get a dot on the map?[emoji41]

@Rockabilly has become our ambassador in Durham, North Carolina, USA!

He’s had a message asking for permission to use a picture of one of his flags to advertise Nottingham Forest in The Federal Bar & Grill.

Was about to get on my high horse then realised Oakham was probably in Leicestershire when you left.

VC?

Went out to watch the Luton and Southampton games in the nearest sports bars to my hotel.
Walked into Chalong Pier Restaurant & Sports Bar
https://g.co/kgs/t1oHfnP and was greeted by a fellow tricky sitting there in his home shirt!
I don't wear my colours very often, but my Robin Hood tattoo often starts a conversation, and I've always been well received![emoji106]

Fan since '88, Midlands boy born and bred from a family of Villa fans on one side and West Brom on t'other...then I lived in Cheltenham...now live in Spain.

 

[Sniffer]

Born and dragged up in Nottingham - been a Forest supporter for as long as I can remember, (I did do a bit of work as a school boy weeding the stands at Notts County when managed by the lovely Jimmy Sirrel, got 10 bob for 2 days hard graft). Left Nottingham in 1989 for 10 years in Hong Kong, am now full time in the Philippines. Plenty of expats here, so manage to get good football coverage, albeit at not good times (we are 8 hours in front at moment).

As you can imagine, I'm going around with a big smile this season, so good to see the multi-national supporters of Man U and Spurs suffering, long may it continue.

Bonjour à tous, je suis nouveau ici et donc, moi, je suis fan de Forest de Belgique
J'ai commencé à m'intéresser à ce club cet été après qu'un de mes amis sur Twitter m'avait fait partie de sa passion et de son admiration pour Brian Clough. Depuis, je suis un fan de Clough et Forest, l'histoire de ce club et la carrière de Clough sont incroyables

je would love to meet others fans here and share this fresh love for Forest
