If you haven’t munched on a pie while flipping through a programme at a match then can you really call yourself a fan? We list eleven essentials things for every Nottingham Forest fan to cross off the list.

1. If you’ve been to a football match on a frosty winter’s day, the likelihood is you’ve enjoyed a steaming cup of Bovril. The gravy-like liquid is a staple of British football and this sentiment is no less true at the City Ground

2. Aside from visiting the City Ground, there may be nothing better than an away day. With teams such as Manchester United (above), Chelsea and Arsenal on next years calendar, Forest fans will jump at the chance to visit some of the biggest grounds in the country.

3. Not many clubs can say they have won two European Cups, let alone back-to-back. The club sits amongst a prestigious list of 8 teams who have achieved this feat, including Real Madrid, Ajax and Liverpool.

4. Referees have a tough job, that much is clear. But we’ve all had that decision go against our team that we rued. A dubious red card or penalty call can make a sane football fan lose their mind.
