Yeah it's proving a great business decision for sure. I clicked on the link to buy tickets 2 mins after getting the mail and it didn't say sold out but gave me zero areas to select (I think that's where I would've selected sitting or standing). Clicked again yesterday and it said sold out. That's pretty impressive considering the capacity (600 people?)

So great for Notts but problem for me is I am coming back to Nottingham on Tuesday and Wednesday with Italian girlfriend who has become a Notts fan and had set her heart on watching the match at the Nest. Last time we were there I promised her great atmosphere for the final day of an Ashes test and there was me and one other guy watching it in a corner in what used to be Walkabout bar. There were more people watching Formula One on the big screen! She got bored and went shopping, which is fair enough.

So I need to come up with the goods this time. I suppose the most important thing is atmosphere. Decent food and beer and no flying drinks is just a bonus for me. She just wants to see England fans in their natural habitat. Any suggestions appreciated!

England fans in their natural habitat? What about taking her to a zoo?

Unfortunately, the more I explain that to her the more she wants to experience it.

King Billy in Sneinton usually has the footy on & is a cracking pub. I've also watched a few games in The Sherwood (in Sherwood funnily enough), and it definitely has a very English feel to it!

Excellent. Thanks Salty and Elite for the suggestions!

Yeah I watched an England game in The Sherwood many years ago, could be a good place to throw her in at the deep end!

Hi Driller, I have a couple of spares for the Big Shed at Trent Navi for Wednesday if you want them at face value? They were £10+£1 booking fee each. DM me if you are interested.

Yes I'll take them! Thanks very much!

Would you be able to DM me? I can't figure how to message you.
