Blue Sunday

J. & I went to see Forest @ Chelsea on Sunday, and from the Forest point of view it was somewhat depressing, but a good experience nonetheless. J. enjoyed taking pictuires of the stadium and players, and we savoured the atmosphere. Forest played too deep and too defensively, and never really hassled or harried Chelsea - they seemed completely overawed. Not as cold as the previous week at Swansea.

Of course, Chelsea season ticket holders, and Members get first go at the Forest tickets, and not only that, but both can buy up to four tickets each, before the remainder go on sale to the general public. Am not too hopeful of procuring any. Presumably a fair number of these batches of four will go on eBay at inflated prices, which seems somewhat dodgy to say the least....

FA Cup 2007

Forest drawn at Chelsea in the fourth round, after giantkilling exploits against Charlton. J. very excited and keen to get tickets, which I suspect will be both in short supply, and v. expensive, but am monitoring the Chelsea website. One of their callcentre persons told me that non -members can buy tickets when they go on general sale, 14 days before the match, but am doubtful as to whether any will remain at this point. We shall see
