Your guide to Anfield. Contains all the usual stuff: bands from the area, tv filmed there, proximity to the nearest body of water, nearest park runs. And some other stuff too. davidmarples.substack.com/p/away-guide...

Perfect holiday reading - thanks @marpsdavid.bsky.social for your unique ability to sum up the feelings of die hard #NFFC fans who have been around the block a few times. We didn’t want that feeling to end at Wembley - much like a good holiday.

Seeing your favourite band play loads is great. Seeing your favourite band play loads with your daughter is even greater. open.substack.com/pub/davidmar...

Join me for an evening of conversation about Forest and goals and obscure song lyrics at Waterstones in Nottingham in Thursday 18 June. Or just come and tell me why I’m wrong about everything. www.waterstones.com/events/david...

56 games. 92 completed ✅ 5 overseas: Krakow. Bergamo. Istanbul. Porto. Leverkusen. From torrential rain in Burnley to scorching sun in Porto. From Borham Wood and Bristol Rovers to Bergamo and Bayer Leverkusen. A very silly enterprise, but kind of nice at the same time.

One of the best - if not the best - writers about #NFFC around has done it again. In a follow up to his previous one about 30 iconic goals, he’s produced this. Another 30 goals & a super significant save! If you love books about Forest then this is for you. #BookSky @marpsdavid.bsky.social

A kind of season review before the season ends… TL; DR It was weird, bewildering, miserable, but also wonderful. Ah, read it anyway: open.substack.com/pub/davidmar...

davidmarples.substack.com/p/the-almigh... If you’re a Forest fan of a certain age you will have bought a copy of Brian, the mother of all #nffc fanzines. @marpsdavid.bsky.social finds the words to pay a wonderful tribute to Julie who was the driving force behind it. Off now to find my back copies.
