OUR NEW ITALIAN BRANCH BECOMES OFFICIAL

5th September 2018


 

This season our Italian branch of the supporters club has relaunched, and to coincide with that we caught up with its new branch secretary Maurizio Volgarino to ask him a few questions on how the branch came about.

First of all Maurizio, how did your branch get started?

The branch was founded in 2012 by two football supporters called Valerio Di Piano from Salerno and Agostino Costanzo from Frattamaggiore, two Cities near Naples, who always picked Nottingham Forest as their favourite Subbuteo team.

They initially started following Nottingham Forest on the web, until they actually fell in love with the team and therefore decided to create a fans page on the web through Facebook called Nottingham Forest Italian Supporters Club. They even created a personalized logo to be recognized with.

However, their acknowledgment of the team was limited to records or documentaries found on the internet and they really needed somebody who could help them, somebody who maybe lived those glory days of Forest and explain the fantastic experience to others in order to passionate people to become new Forest fans, and that person finally arrived in Maurizio Volgarino! Also called “the biggest Nottingham Forest nutter in Italy”!

Maurizio Volgarino was born on 6th January 1972 in Snienton, Nottingham from a couple of Italians from San Paolo di Civitate (Foggia), who went to live in England in search of fortune. Exactly three years later, Forest assumed a new manager, a certain Brian Clough, was that pure coincidence? I don’t think so! It was fate that Maurizio was going to be a massive Nottingham Forest fan!

Maurizio grew up playing football for his local schools (Greenwood Junior School, Jesse Boot Junior School, St Bernadette’s Senior School and East Nottingham) and for Junior Reds in the 80s and most of all he lived Forest glory days in the late 70s and early 80s before moving to Italy in 1986 with his family.

But his passion for Nottingham Forest never died! Before the introduction of the internet, he followed the mighty Reds through Italian weekly sports magazines, and he always used to talk to his new Italian friends about how a “small” team from Division 2, nowadays The Championship, went up winning firstly the League Championship and then two European Cups in a row!

With the introduction of Maurizio in the group, the members incredibly increased.

We understand you play in regular football tournaments in Italy, tell us a bit about it?

In 2016, a notable Italian journalist called Irma d’Alessandro of Mediaset (Silvio Berlusconi’s TV company), fond of English football, invited Maurizio to participate as representatives of Nottingham Forest in a fantastic national tournament called Italian Connection organized by both herself and her husband, held in Milan every year amongst other Italian branches of British Clubs such as Liverpool Italia, Italian Gooners, Italian Spurs, Latin Lions, Italian Saints, Italian red Army, Blue Moon Italy.

It was something we were waiting for ages for in order to let our fan club to be officially known here in Italy!

Therefore, with both the Chairmen Valerio and Agostino, we decided to participate, giving Maurizio the role of Team Manager and naming the team “ROBIN HOOD REDS”. Since then, we have participated in all the last three editions, gaining the 3rd place in 2017 and 2nd place in 2018 (losing only on penalties against Italian Saints of Southampton) out of 20 teams!

We also participate in many other domestic tournaments, and recently we won the tournament held in Lesina (Foggia) twice on the spot (2017 and 2018).
 

Robin Hood Reds, runners-up at the Italian Connection tournament held in Milan in June 2018.


In September, the team will participate in the new season 2018-19 in Termoli (CB) and are also planning to participate in October in a tournament held in Sofia (Bulgaria) organized by our brotherhood group of the Nottingham Forest Serbia, and not only that we are deciding to come over to Nottingham next year and participate in the tournament organized by Forza Garibaldi.

By the way, we have been wearing Macron as our kit since 2017…is this another coincidence?!

How many members do you have?

At the moment we have more than 800 members subscribed on our Facebook page. I am confident that many of them will also join the Official Nottingham Forest Supporters Club selecting us as their branch!

Have any of your members attended matches at the City Ground?

Not many members have attended matches at the City Ground, but now that we have been officially recognized I am more than confident that soon we will be arranging such events amongst the branch and not only that, we will also be arranging charity events.

Do you manage to watch Forest on TV in Italy?

Unfortunately Championship matches are not broadcast on any Italian TV channels, a few years ago they were, so we watch them through ifollow.

Are Nottingham Forest a well-supported team in Italy?

To be honest, I don’t think so, the reason is simple. They are not a Premier League side, Championship matches are not broadcast on Italian TV Channels so therefore people, especially youngsters, are not aware of the team’s success in the past.

Good luck to Maurizio and all of his members in their future tournaments in Italy, and we hope to see some of them in Nottingham over the coming seasons. If you would like to know more about the Italian branch of the supporters club, you can contact them at mauriziovolgarino72@hotmail.it.

MANSFIELD BRANCH WALKING FOOTBALL TEAM

15 July 2018


The Mansfield Branch Walking Football Team continue to go from strength to strength. Their Branch Secretary, Peter Mitchell, gives us an update on what they are getting up to.

When three NFSC Mansfield Branch members started playing Over 50's Walking football they could never have imagined how the sport would take off and how things would develop.

They created Mansfield Senior Reds Over 50's Walking Football Club in 2014 and since then the club have won many honours including two European titles in Spain. The sport started as a senior mens health initiative and Mansfield Senior Reds, who have over 80 players on their books, host two sessions a week in addition to any competitions they enter. They have held over 250 sessions with in excess of 4,000 attendees!

At the end of this May they were in action in a Derbyshire Walking Football Festival held at Belper. The 'Reds' strode to success pipping hosts Belper by one point, with 4 wins from their 5 matches. The results included two 1-0 wins over the teams representing Derby County and a 2-0 victory over Mansfield Town. They also took the competitions individual honours with Darron Hall, a youngster at 50 plus, topping the scoring charts with 5 goals.

Future plans include the next round in the WFA national cups, having defeated Chesterfield in the Over 50's section and recently Leicester 3-0 in the Over 60's version.

In October the club fly to Spain to keep internationally - it will be the 4th consecutive year they have played in Europe.

Anyone requiring more information on Mansfield Senior Reds Walking Football team can contact Peter on 07837 661703 or email him at mitchred1865@gmail.com.

SAFE STANDING CONSULTATION

26 May 2018


Representatives of Nottingham Forest Supporters Club will be meeting Nottingham North MP Alex Norris later this week to discuss the subject of safe standing, and we would like the views of our members before we attend the meeting.

At this time football club’s in the top 2 divisions of English football are not permitted to have safe standing areas in their football grounds. This is unlike Scotland and other parts of Europe where clubs have installed rail seating, which many fans feel improves the atmosphere at matches.

After a recent petition to the government received over 110,000 signatures last month, parliament will now debate safe standing on 25 June and Mr Norris would like the views of our members on a subject which often divides opinion.

If you would like us to pass on your views on safe standing at the meeting please email us at enquiries@nottinghamforestsupportersclub.co.uk including your full name, branch and write ‘Safe-standing’ in the subject box. All emails must be with us by midnight on Monday 28 May for us to include them in our meeting.

PLAYER OF THE SEASON AWARDS

Newark branch member Joshua Ridyard presents Eric Lichaj with his branches 2016/17 Player of the Season award.

Newark branch member Joshua Ridyard presents Eric Lichaj with his branches 2016/17 Player of the Season award.

 

This season, for the first time, we are giving members of Nottingham Forest Supporters Club the chance to vote for our Player of the Season and Young Player of the Season online.

To nominate who you think should receive the Supporters Clubs Player of the Season and David Howard Young Player of Season awards all you have to do is go to the Contact Us page of this website and send us a message with the names of the players you nominate for each award and include your name, branch and membership number to validate your vote.

Unfortunately, with the season coming to a close within the next few weeks, time is short. The closing date for your nominations is no later than 3pm on Sunday the 22nd of April.

Information on who our winners are, and when both awards will be presented, will be announced as soon as they are confirmed on this website.


 




END OF SEASON PLAYER AWARDS & RAFFLE

9 April 2018


 

It is with considerable disappointment that due to circumstances beyond our control there will be no Player of the Season Presentation Dinner this season.

Although no presentation evening will take place, voting forms for the Supporters Club’s Player of the Season and Young Player of the Season will still be posted to all branch members and presentations will be made to the reciprocates at the end of the season. If there are any branches that would like to make their own Player of the Season awards, could they please contact Joan Bakewell on 0115 956 1227 for further information on how this can be arranged.

Raffle tickets for our end of season draw will also be included with your voting forms.  As with your Player of the Season voting forms, these should be returned to Joan by post or to her directly in The Boat Club on match days. The draw will take place in the Boat Club before our last match of the season against Bristol City on the 28th of April.

USA BRANCH MEET IN ATLANTA

14 March 2018
Last weekend wasn't only a big weekend in Nottingham. Over 4 thousand miles away in Atlanta the USA branch of Nottingham Forest Supporters Club had their first meet since they were re-formed in 2015. We caught up with branch secretary Shaun Simms to find out how it went.
 
First of all Shaun, how did the re-formation of the USA branch come about?
 
Not in the way many expected (which was a Forest fan from England now living in the states).  I grew up playing sports (baseball, basketball, American football, cross country, and track), and ran track in college, but didn’t like soccer until 2013 when a co-worker and friend challenged me to watch the Premier League which was now being shown on TV.  The constant action was so contrary to many American sports that it was hard not to be entertained.  When she asked what team I was going to support, I decided not to just pick a top team, but try and find some connection to a team – no matter what division they were in.  Through doing my genealogy I found I had distant relatives from Nottingham and thought, “I wonder if they have a team.”  Little did I know the tremendous history I was going to uncover.  I was all in, and, I figured there had to be a few other individuals out there who would appreciate a club of this magnitude. So, I made this an official supporter’s chapter, and have been working to build it since that time.
 
Why did you decide on Atlanta for your first meet up?
 
There were several reasons.  We knew we wanted to meet up for the Forest vs Derby game, and since that was in early March we knew weather is very unpredictable, especially in the north so we wanted to be in warmer, less volatile climate.  And, of course, that is the hometown of Wes.
 
You mentioned one of your members, Wesley Hall, who has become a bit of a Twitter legend among Forest fans on this side of the Atlantic after Reds fans mistakenly thought he was our ex defender Wes Morgan due to his Twitter name 'bigwes', did he enjoy meeting so many fellow fans in his home city?
 
I think he absolutely did.  Most of us (or maybe all of us) had never met previously – what else could bring complete strangers together other than something like this? Wes set up a dinner for all of us to hang out Saturday night as well before the game – honestly some of the best people I’ve ever met.
 

Where did Reds fans fly in from for the weekend?
 
We had supporters travel in from St. Louis, Missouri; Indianapolis, Indiana, Cleveland, Ohio; Washington D.C.; Jacksonville, Florida; Lakeland, Florida and of course we had various individuals from the Atlanta area.
 
The atmosphere at the City Ground was fantastic on Sunday, did that come across well to you all watching the game in America?
 
Yes!  And we were singing right along with all of you, especially Vinny! There isn’t a much sweeter sound – even through the TV – than hearing Mull of Kintyre before the kick-off.
 
We understand some of you attended the MLS game between Atlanta United & DC United after our match on Sunday, how did that go?
 
About half of the crew were able to attend the Atlanta United game in their phenomenal stadium.  Atlanta United won 3-1, so Wes, Yaya, Justin and the other Atlanta United fans were happy.
 
...DC United manager Ben Olsen played for Forest on loan during the 2000/01 season, so were any of you supporting DC during the game?!
 
One of our members, Graeme,is from D.C. but he hasn’t quite jumped on the DC United bandwagon yet.
 
And finally, are there any plans being made for the next USA branch meet?  Is there a possibility of a group trip to Nottingham being made in the near future?
 
The most difficult thing about being the US leader is the massive geographical region we have to cover, which makes full branch meet ups logistically difficult.  We have members 3,000 miles apart!  I believe this was a very successful meet up, and I’ve already seen quite a few new fans want to join in next time.  Ben Bullock was instrumental in helping during the Atlanta meet up, and has really taken ownership of our Facebook page – I’m sure he and I will be discussing this soon.  At a minimum, we will have 1 larger group meet up a year, and hope to break off into regional meet ups as well.
 
As far as doing a group trip to Nottingham in the near future – I’d love to!  After hearing all of the diverse ways in Atlanta that our members like Ann and others became supporters, it quickly dawned on me that I was the only one (besides my wonderful wife, Melissa) that has never been to the City Ground.  I did a Twitter poll to see where people might want to have our next meet up and Chicago, New York, Tampa Bay, and Nottingham were the top 4 responses.
 
A big thank you to Shaun for answering our questions, we hope everyone who attended the meet up in Atlanta had a fantastic weekend. If you would like to join the USA branch, or any of our overseas branches, you can get more information on the Membership page of our website.
