Grounds You’ve Seen Forest Play? - Username - 29-08-2019
The Carabao cup draw gives me an opportunity to see Forest play at a Ground that I’ve not had the opportunity to see them play at before, which got me thinking what grounds I had seen us play at.
With our drop into League One for three seasons I obviously racked up a few too.

Oakwell
St Andrews

Despite all that I’ve still never managed to see Forest at Wembley (new or old) for various reasons. Will I ever get the chance again in my lifetime?
Are there many that you’ve been to that I’ve missed out on?
I always loved going to Highbury, some great Forest memories there.
The worst for me by far was Boundary Park. A cold miserable s**thole.

Appreciate that this thread won’t generate much comment but have loved visiting different grounds down the years supporting the trickies.

i didn't see Highfield Road but i'd think you have been at some time, i experienced the good, the bad and the ugly in the away end at Coventry's old ground.
i lived near Coventry and my dad lived very near Highfield Road, we had a warm summer day with a 3.0 win, a pleasent evening and a 0.0 but totally dominated and had Stern John sent off and an absolute miserable stinker around 1998, it was freezing and miserable and i took this Aussie guy along who became as totally depressed as no interest in football or cold freezing rain and Darren Huckerby kept scoring for Coventry, think we lost 4 maybe 5 nil.
I actually worked at Coventry Colliery for 5 years back in the 80's so new the city quite well, though most of what i knew was 1/2 mile underneath, it was a very deep mine, the coal face also took about 10 feet of coal.
I think the decision to flatten the old ground was very sad and i reckon destroyed a huge community which depended on the match days, used to be quite a few boozers you could pop in to as you wandered upto to the ground, many have now gone as have a huge swathe of Coventry city supporters, the new ground has no pubs, no community and no appeal whatsoever and surrounded by fiascos such as Coventry falling out with the owners and playing at Northampton for quite a while a few seasons ago.
RE: Grounds you’ve seen Forest? - Username - 29-08-2019
You’re right, I missed out Highfield Road and the Ricoh Arena.
I remember the Huckerby game vividly, it’s not often enough I leave before the full time whistle but did on that occasion.
The three nil with Kevin Campbell scoring was a great day out.
I’ve been to the Ricoh twice, once to see Forest, Joe Garner scored. I actually really liked the Ground. The stand behind the goal is quite steep so the atmosphere was excellent.
I also saw Leicester Tigers play Wasps (?) and sampled the rugby zone they have beforehand which was great fun, lots of real ale, they had a bird of prey show for some weird reason too b

Very impressive list there mate. Well done.
3 that spring to mind that I have been to that I think you have so far missed out on are:
Plough Lane - Wimbledon.
Kenilworth Road Luton.
Upton Park - West Ham.
RE: Grounds You’ve Seen Forest? - Username - 30-08-2019
I didn’t go to Plough Lane. I see AFC Wimbledon are moving back there in 2020 so here’s to a good cup draw next season.
I mentioned the other two although i’ve always called Upton Park the Boleyn Ground. Is that right? Did it have both names or something?
Horrible ground, they had that nasty bastard Julian Dicks playing for them.
RE: Grounds You’ve Seen Forest? - the jock - 30-08-2019
kennilworth road is like walking into somebodys back garden. soon will be gone.
RE: Grounds You’ve Seen Forest? - Username - 30-08-2019
I went in 1993 when we won 2-1, they had a young ginger kid playing up from for them called John Hartson.

RE: Grounds You’ve Seen Forest? - ThePromisedLand - 30-08-2019
Can’t add many - if any ( not checked lower league stadia ).
But would add Stade l’Abbe Deschamps ( Auxerre )
RE: Grounds You’ve Seen Forest? - Salvatore Matrecano - 30-08-2019
Great list Username, far more than me, you must have endured some misery in your time :D
I can add Stade Gerland, Lyon
Best place to watch football Ive been to I hate to admit it is Anfield, atmosphere and history just dont compare. Worst probably Saltergate which is a shame because I like Chesterfield!
