Grounds You’ve Seen Forest Play?

[Joe Baker Legend]

Has anybody visited Bramall Lane when it was 3 sided, 4th side was a Cricket Pitch!
I was behind one of the goals with the Cricket pitch to my right, supporting the mighty Reds.

Not me, that must have been a long time ago!?

Hard to remember, probably around 1970 ish

last cricket match at bramall lane was august 1973.

Before my time then!

wow that is a very impressive list.

I remember going to Bramall lane as a student in early 90's and it was 3 sided, but it was due to redevelopment not cricket. Can't remember who the Blades were playing, it wasn't Forest. The wind blew in over the empty ground and was bloody freezing.

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

trying, but nope, can't see any grounds for this thread not being a runner   :s

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!

I definitely have!

Was the Chesterfield game the one we lost in the FA Cup? That was terrible and we had a great chance to get to Wembley that year :/

No wasnt the cup game. I had to look it up, was in L1 2007 we won thanks to a brace from Junior (rip). All I remember was it being cold and wet, the ground was a toilet and all the locals giving it the usual “you’re not famous anymore”.

Now you mentioned the cup I have another venue, Salisbury City, fa cup 2nd round, I have a mate down there so went along. The ground only had 2 sides if I remember, Forest fans literally standing around the edge of the pitch. Absolutely dire game, we looked no better than a nonleague side and ended up with a 1-1 draw.

That’s the Raymond McEnhill Stadium, I was there too.

It was a lunchtime kick off on a Sunday I think.

I have also seen Forest play against Olympiakos in their old stadium in Piraeus, think it was 1994.

Finished 2-2, I swear I was the only Forest fan in the ground.

Yes.
My first ever away game.
I think it was the first game of the 67/68 season.

I can add the Lamb Ground Tamworth.
A pre season friendly in the Pl**t era.
And, Nene Park Rushden & Diamonds, again a pre season friendly.

Yes, it was probably my first away game as well, I went on the Train, escorted by police to the ground.

19th August 1967.
I went in my uncle’s car along with my dad.
I recall we were behind the goal too.

I say my first away game as I don’t count Spurs in the FA cup semi - final the previous season as away.
Hillsborough- a neutral ground.
