Notts Forest to give them their proper name.  ;)

Surprised we haven't played them for 17 years competitively.

Lots of games in the 70s/80s, we always took a good following. 

The Franz Carr Cup Quarter Final and the home game on the championship run in are my best memories.

Franz Carr's goal was a screamer.  Signed from Leicester and did fuck all except score that goal.

I always think of 1991 and 1992 home games. The 1991 was the one where Yorke scored our goal of the season, we hit them on the break and he scored a curler past their keeper. 1992 was the game where Cyrille Regis scored with a lob over Mark Crossley.

The 1981 game and home win against them after the Ipswich defeat is the stand out game against Forest For me. Lose or draw that and Ipswich would have won the league

1989 - standing in the pouring rain all afternoon watching us getting tonked 4-0 singing 'Brian, Brian give us a slap' just a couple of days after cloughie got involved with some of their pitch invaders.

But a better memory in 1993 with McGrath heading in the only goal of the game in April and thinking we could now go on and win the league!

The Franz Carr evening was fantastic. Mayhem when he scored.

The 2-0 on Easter Saturday in 1981 for obvious reasons, but I also have a strong memory of the home game 6 months later when we beat them 3-1. Pouring rain, they were surprisingly dirty for a Clough team, and we finally triumphed through standing up to them physically and then outclassing them.

Re the original post, the best way to piss off a Forest fan is to refer to them as "Notts". That is reserved for Notts County.

Winning 4-1 at home a long time ago.
Losing 5-0 at home a long time ago.
Arriving 5 mins late, and being charged (non threateningly) and winning 3-1 in one of BFRs first games. Then coincidentally chatting to/up a girl in Leicester week later from Long Eaton who was a Forest fan who'd been the game.

The most important game against them without doubt the 1981 home game which kept our hopes alive of the Championship (the one we are going to win this season).

My first ever trip to the Trent saw us lose, got locked in and got escorted all around the ground for the return special - oh we lost 2-0 and played crap (Forest's first season back in the top division) - later that season we bladdered them at Villa Park and still lost 2-1.

One of those gaffs I just don't like.  Saying that so much admired Clough.

Remember being on cub camp when they stuffed us 4-0 in 88.  SGT said it was the most inept and disgraceful performance by any team he'd managed.  Those words stick in my mind for some reason.

As I am sure we all know, Forest (City Ground) and County (Meadow Lane) are the closest professional football stadiums in England. Located just a few hundred yards apart either side of the River Trent.

The eastern border of the unitary authority of the City of Nottingham runs along the Trent. Therefore the City Ground is in the County, and Notts County is in the City.

We got beat 4-2 in a league cup game one November night in 1977. It was a night when a rolling fog off the Trent obliterated large parts of the match.

In 1997 Forest were the only league club who had a Tory MP.

August 1989...a one all draw, massive Villa following and if I recall correctly, I purchased the first edition of H&V?
