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...

A Canadian at Goose Fair

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?

Interview: Patrick Smith of Veggies
Mon 06 Jun 2011If you grew up in Notts and don’t partake in meat, you probably owe a huge debt to Patrick Smith. Why? Because he’s spent three decades as a vegan activist while slinging veggie burgers from a van in town, backin the day when ‘vegetarian option’ meant ‘just chips’. Now operating his veggie business out of the SumacCentre in Forest Fields, he talks about a meat-free career, the Ratcliffe-on-Soar debacle, and Mark Kennedy…

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.
