Watford Away 2015 Nuhiu last minute equaliser game. Forest away 2015 Won 2-0 the derby away game on the first day was something else. The equaliser caused mayhem. Also the day the derby fans ripped off “if you don’t flipping bounce” and tried to claim it as their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it was a Saturday quite a pleasant day if i remember rightly. Hundreds waiting for the Forest fans outside the train station due to the miners strike, chased coppers away who came to disperse them.

When they bounce it is weird but they are loud at their home stadium the times that I've been. Unlike most teams in the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is the one where we sang Yellows for much of the game. Remember singing Yellows throughout the game at Chesterfield. Was always impressed with Ante, but he never stamped his authority on a game as much as he should have done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do apoogise for misreading the thread title.away atmosphere for me Man City and Cardiff away 1983/84 Season West Brom 1990/91 the atmosphere was electric when we came back from being 1-0 down to win 2-1 Also Notts Forest away mid week 1984/85.The City Ground was terracing at both ends and the away supporters had the corner as you can see in the background from the picture..

Striggy Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 (edited) Best away day I remember was at Cardiff when we won 0-2 to secure promotion to the old Division 1, think it was penultimate game of season, and seem to remember Gary Megson scored. Off to google it now. 12th May 1984 Edited March 27, 2020 by Striggy "nobody told me there would be days like these!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still to this day don't know how I got home from this game but I woke up in my own bed the next lunchtime. I remember going to the game getting back on the coach stopping off somewhere Chorley ?. Apparently I didn't get back on the coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanharper Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 One of the best I can remember was at Brentford in the 2005 playoffs (think that was the game when we managed to chuck a ball into the little TV gantry behind us whilst they were live on air). Yet oddly when I watched the recording back, you could hardly hear us during the game, the little open terrace must have lost all the noise.

Beighton Owl 87 Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 My top 3 are - Burnley 7-2 win in 03 just after relegation. Hull 2-1 win in 05 last minute winner to secure play off spot. Leicester 3-1 win in 08 to put us in a better position to survive. It was a game we couldn't afford to lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
