Old fashioned away game weekend

Back in the day, Forest used to play a pre-season game in Lincoln every summer. Plenty would travel for the day for a few pints in the sun by the canal, before watching whichever cheap foreign trialist was having a play at being a top flight footballer. One year, the powers that be decided to move the kick-off from 3pm on a Saturday to a Wednesday night. Not to be done out of an easy away game, instead of turning up at 12 noon for a 3pm kick off on a Saturday, we changed to turning up at 12 noon on the Wednesday for a 7:30 kick off. Nice.

So, memories came flooding back when the FA Cup draw was made. Tickets have now sold out so plenty of Forest fans will be travelling, cheap train tickets will get us into Lincoln with plenty of time for a few shandies.

Come on !!!!!
