We normally host a big-ish European team the week before the season at Villa Park, Forest away is a bit disappointing in comparison. Maybe the lack of an attendance against Malaga the season just gone has put them off.

Parma. The game with no attendance.

Atrociously boring games, all either abroad or at grounds we've played at recently.

I can entirely understand why we'd play in America/China/Australia/wherever to try to boost the club's profile and bring in some money. When we're playing in England, however, there's no reason why they shouldn't try to play some matches at interesting venues. Ones we haven't played at recently or by the seaside, for instance.

Point taken but realistically the club chooses to play for reasons other than given fans a day out at at seaside or ne pw stadia.
For eg Sherwood has links with lee power at swindon.

Think I'll get to the forest match but unlikely to do any others

Swindon looks like it could be a good evening out.

Can't imagine that's something that has been said too often.

It was, at the fewest, three. For half an hour, anyway.

5. As me and Leeg were there, We're getting closer to the actual figure.

Walsall and Forest I think. Possibly Wolves maybe as well.

Work in Walsall so plenty of locals to have a pint with and Wolves is a 30-minute bus ride so they will do niceley

I'm guessing Rugby World Cup prep for VP is the main reason for no home friendly

I usually do Walsall but will probably skip it and do Wolves and Forest so my son can tick another couple of grounds off.
