Interview: Nottingham Panther's Jeff Heerema and Rob Lachowicz
Wed 02 Nov 2011While Forest and County bumble along in their respective (lower) divisions, the most successful professional sports team in Nottingham quietly goes about its business of hoovering up trophies left and right – and this season they’re making a serious run at winning their first league title since 1955. They’re your Nottingham Panthers, and two
of them – right-winger Jeff Heerema from Thunder Bay, Ontario and left-winger Rob Lachowicz from Wollaton – had a word with us…

Preview: GameCity6
Tue 25 Oct 2011If you want to go somewhere to stand with a load of people and play games, get yourself down to the Forest for Goose Fair and try to catapault a manky rubber frog onto a rotating lilypad, for a keyring of Donny Osmond that says ‘Justin Beeber’. If you care about videogaming and where its heading, on the other hand, happy days; GameCity is back...

Nottingham Comedy Festival
Fri 09 Sept 2011The Nottingham Comedy Festival returns for its third year this September, offering a chance to see some of the greats perform their post-Edinburgh shows - as well as workshops and try-out gigs for aspiring performers. So we collared festival directors Helen Stead and Elliott Bower and asked...

Interview: Headstock Festival's Mick Leivers
Wed 07 Sept 2011Headstock is a three-day music festival that takes place at the Newstead & Annesley Country Park, but if you think it’s another opportunity to listen to landfill indie whilst being bombarded with mobile phone adverts, think again; this event is geared towards getting an ex-mining community back on its feet and turning it back into a self-sustainable community. Headstock MD Mick Leivers tells us about this prime example of Notts folk mekkin’ their own entertainment…

Interview: Mark Patterson on Roman Nottinghamshire
Mon 15 Aug 2011Whilst other places in the UK wear their Roman origins like a badge of honour, there’s virtually nothing to look at in Notts – so much so that we’ve been described as an ‘archaeological blackspot’. Mark Patterson’s book Roman Nottinghamshire is the first step towards reclaiming our Roman heritage…

Interview: Mark Crossley
Fri 12 Aug 2011Mark Crossley - known as ‘Norm’ during his thirteen years as Forest’s goalkeeper, due to a resemblance to Norman Whiteside - started his career being hated by his own supporters. Then he nearly became the hero of the 1991 FA Cup final and a club legend. Nowadays he’s a player-coach at Chesterfield, an after-dinner speaker, and - as of this month - his own publisher...

Left Brian: 2011/12 Season Preview
Fri 05 Aug 2011Forest failed to get out of the playoffs. Again. Old manager dumped, new manager promises better. Again. Initial foot-dragging over new signings. Again. Can Forest break the cycle this season?

Left Magpie: 2011-12 Notts County Season Preview
Fri 05 Aug 2011The good news: the Pies reached some kind of stability in 2011. The bad news: it was in the shape of a record-breaking losing streak. Can Martin Allen keep them up, or is it back to the basement?

Interview: The Nusic Team
Thu 16 Jun 2011Mark Del used to fly the flag for the Nottingham music scene with Trent FM, but now him and his team - including Arielle Bosworth and Liz Riordan - have linked up with LeftLion to drop Nusic, help take the local scene to the next level and - maybe, just maybe - get your band on the main stage at Splendour...

Interview: Mick Newell
Thu 09 Jun 2011Summer’s here, and Notts County Cricket Club is defending their County Champions title. A lot of the credit for that goes to Mick Newell, the Outlaws’ highly-regarded director of cricket, and a man who could well be doing the same job for England in time…

Interview: John Robertson
Wed 15 Dec 2010John Robertson was your archetypal terrace favourite for over a decade at Forest. In part it was because he obviously liked his pies, pints and fags, but mainly for providing the cross that Trevor Francis got on the end of in 1979, the goal that beat Hamburg in 1980, and all those photos of kids holding up the European Cup in Nottingham pubs thirty years ago.
