The navi has got quite expensive for a pint since the refurbishment, I'll give the nest a try and see which I prefer.
I think there'll be plenty of people at the Navi pre match. Not everyone likes a nosiey lager drinking multi screen sports type of bar. I don't, prefer a proper pub selling proper beer so it'll be the Navigation for me mostly. I didn't fancy the concept of the Box Park at Wembley so didn't bother with that either.

Wasn't there an issue at the navi focussing on forest supporters earlier in the season? For that, I'll be heading to the nest, not been near the navi since I heard that
If the nest can recreate anything like box park it will be an absolute winner.
I hope they can make it family friendly and attract the younger generation.
My daughter came to Wembley last year and her highlight of that day was going to box park after the match.
If they get the vibe right then The Nest will be the place for me. If its banging out loud music and selling overpriced beers I wont be going. If they cater for the average Notts fan who wants a good range of beers a safe environment with decent food at fair prices then Id hope we'd all use it.
Of course there are significant differences in what people look for pre and post match but if they get it right then it could be a good earner.
I'll second that. I'd never heard of Boxpark before but it was very close to Wembley and the designated Notts venue, so I gave it a go. The journey down was awful, so my already high stress level went even higher. Boxpark was just what I needed, a joyous hour which renewed my optimism. And then Sam decided to take a goal kick twice and concede a penalty! I only wish I had been able to go back post match because that would have been something really special.
I usually drive to games so don't drink, but I can't wait to give The Nest a go. I might be using my bus pass a bit more next season.
