Love a politically charged Wednesday night… not had one for a while 🤣

Manic Street Preachers, you probably hate them! Excellent as ever and what a song to finish on, in light of this messed world the way it is 🤷🏻‍♂️

⚽️ 💜 DOrunning X @Dunkirk_FC 💜 ⚽️

We’re super excited to announce that our friends at Dunkirk FC have been added as our latest food collection venue, as part of this year’s Footprints in the Snow event.

At their Christmas fixture against Clipstone Welfare on 19th December, visitors to Lenton Lane will be able leave food donations, to go to our wider collection for Bestwood and Bulwell Foodbank, supporting families throughout the Christmas period and cold winter months ❄️

Des Oldham, DOrunning Events said ‘’this is a fantastic addition to the venues and organisations already on board with the collection. Having sponsored the Boatmen early this season, this reciprocal offer of support, is exactly what DOrunning is all about’’.

Gary Clarke, Chairman at Dunkirk FC said ‘’it’s great to be supporting such a fantastic feel-good festive event. Being a grassroots football club, we rely on our community for support. It’s great for the club to be i a position to support in giving back’’.

Last year, generous donations from our community provided enough food for over 300 meals. This year, we’re confident with the list of partners we’ve built on board, we can make an even bigger difference ❤️

If you’d like to get involved, we’ll be sharing more information soon about how and when you can drop off your donations at one of our partner locations 🙏

Other businesses can also support the appeal by hosting a donation drop-off point or organising a group collection. If you’d like to take part, please get in touch.

All donations will be collected in advance of our Footprints in the Snow 5k event at the Trent Navigation on 20th December 🏃🏻‍♀️ 🏃🏻‍♂️

Let’s work together to make an even bigger difference this Christmas🎄

We’ll be cheering on the boys on the day. Come on the Boatmen ❤️🖤

Rough with the smooth! One day they will learn what this game is all about 🤯

One tweak 🤷🏻‍♂️

7 days later, still true… 💯

I did not boo, I did not sing it - I’ve made reference to it - and understand it! But fans blaming fans for voicing their opinion is not the cause of our problems #NFFC

Stop accepting responsibility for what happens (or doesn’t happen) on the pitch! It’s not good enough and by the very nature of it, it’s emotionally charged! If it didn’t hurt, it wouldn’t excite.

Bore off, declaring you love Forest because you don’t critique. It was crap and some of our players are too, it’s that simple!

… the process of falling in love with Forest all over again, starts next week.

Enjoy your Sunday ❤️
