🪹The Nest

[drillerpie]

the bros or whoever came up with the Nest timed it to perfection! And if England make the Euro finals (big IF!), it will be another big payday and further establish the Nesta as a venue for big screen events. Are Notts becoming a 'lucky' club?

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.

I'll have a look. If it is open, does anyone known if its likely to be full/lively atmosphere?

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!

[drillerpie]

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!
