Pre-season friendlies 2026

[Bog roll]

We should play Leicester in a friendly. They probably need some help with being in League 1.

buckets? :-x

 

[Rzar]

Surely a Pre Season friendly against Rio Ave is on the cards. I'm interested to see what level they are at.

Not very high, they and other Portugese clubs outside the big 3 and a mix of League One & Championship level.

But yes, there would be no harm to play them in an early pre season game.

I would love us to host Olympiacos for once.

mini tournament in Edinburgh v Hearts and Hibs,then Olympiakos at home, that would be good.

 

[Notcher]

Get Rangers down. That's one that will get a lot through the gates.

 

[Eddie Yates]

Newcastle v Everton at Murrayfield on 14 Aug has been announced today. When are we going to be invited to something prestigious like that?

Hopefully never because it's shit

 

[Far have we travelled]

Depending on how much they will have had to drink, it might speed up the ground redevelopment afterwards.

Good point, it's a win win

 

[Beardo7]

As long as they don't try and charge me £20 again to watch a side set up and sent out by a manager who had checked out and that was already talking to his agent to get him out the door.

Didn't we only score 1 goal in Pre-seaosn last year? and drew about 5/6 games 0-0?

Forest have only ever played Rangers once,26th October 1878 at the Gregory ground which was in the Lenton area….Forest lost 2-0.

That's mental that we haven't played a team like Rangers in 148 years

 

[tricky_tree1982]

Yep, I also (obviously) did Frankfurt and it was a decent atmosphere for a 0-0, lots of Forest there and a bit of a party too.

Yes that was the start of the 30 signings who gives a f*ck song! Great atmosphere!

Perhaps a behind closed doors friendly at our…er……I mean their training ground….decide whether it’s worth a £20 million offer

Really? If Forest were playing in a PSF in Edinburgh against another PL team, I reckon this forum would be alive with anticipation about tickets, travel, accommodation etc.

They will be drinking in Forest pubs instead of The Nest when they come over to play Notts County next season.

 

[Strummer]

They will be drinking in Forest pubs instead of The Nest when they come over to play Notts County next season Getting absolutely filled in if they even think about it.

More like.

 

[Jimmy]

I liked the Alicante/Murcia training camp they did with Cooper and Nuno. Mainly because it's close enough for me to watch them play. Even if the matches I've seen there have all been sh*t...

Whereabouts are you based?

Yeah the forum would probably crash due to all the discussions around getting a train to Waverly station & a Premier Inn close to Princess Street

You disappoint me, Eddie, talking about booking a Premier Inn room, when just up the hill from the Waverley station is the far superior Carlton Highland Hotel.
I always stayed there when on business trips.
Okay.. it was on expense account, but you are man of wealth and good taste.

But not the Cross Keys.

What? When did this happen?

 

[Frank Clark’s Tash]

Should go to Brazil

With some very large, empty suitcases...

Bringing back the cash from selling a kidney or two?

 

[Souvik]

B team playing Alfreton Town on 24th July. Yes. It's a very slow news week.

 

[Gaz1980]

Heard from a friend who lives in Portugal and close to last years base, that Forest are booked in again this year.
