Each episode a Nottingham Forest fan discusses 3 personal connections they have with the Club. All 3 are linked by a specific number.
What a way to spend an afternoon! Discussing those glory years of Southall and Breckin. The unbeaten runs, the hat tricks. We do feel sorry for those who weren't yet old enough to witness such moments. The streets will remember. Don't worry, the anniversary is coming...
In episode 3 we discovered via Dave Marples the number that brings luck and good fortune to the Garibaldi. Now Jordan joins us for episode 10 all the way from Toronto to provide an equal and opposite reaction. Could it be that all our woes stem from a cup final over 130 years ago? Probably not. Has anyone got that Labatt's pinstripe shirt? Again, probably not. How many games will our favorite Spanish striker play this season? Probably none.
Emily takes us all the way from the old Trent End to the 1865 Club via Wembley Stadium. It turns out that glory supporters have been around since the 1950s. Who knew?
Do we give Max enough credit for his front line coverage of the #FawazOut demonstrations? Can anyone locate his early YouTube videos? Why so much hate for the 2011/12 away kit? Will Dan get free Mitre swag?
Head of the Church of Stuart Pearce and Executive Stand enthusiast Rich Fisher joins Dan this week to discuss the smell of Bovril, Skunk Anansie and Cock on a Stick. If you enjoy listening to Rich then why not buy his book 'The Church of Stuart Pearce and Other Stories'.
Matt shares the genesis of his Forest story as well as plenty of chat around who should be playing this season and where they should be playing. Have we signed enough players? Is Dan the only one that wants a 'Fawaz, Commons and PVH' collection in the Rogues Gallery?! Has anyone else other than Matt arranged trips back to England from Florida just to watch Gillingham away?!
Lisa apologizes to her Son for subjecting him to a life of Forest based disappointment. Is her reason for celebrating Man Utd's goal acceptable? Can anyone beat Lisa's first Forest game (and second game for that matter) in terms of opposition and result?
Will @thewireseason4 be forced to change his twitter handle to @forestseason2021 after we run away with the league? Probably. For now Dan catches up with fellow North American supporter Jake Burns and they chat about Jake's discovery of #NFFC and his brief flirtation with another team in red. Are Giuseppe Garibaldi statues everywhere? Jake gives Dan an education on one of the Miracle Men and hopes for #twodecentburns to take off. Can someone give Dan an education on switching to the correct microphone too?... Guest appearances from New York City Traffic, people eating outside and air conditioning units.
Time to get your geek on. Are any of these facts true? Who knows? Do they sound like they should be? Absolutely. Let's find out who Forest have never beaten and which players have scored on their birthday! Don't say we didn't warn you.
Dan is joined by star of Children's TV and face of Forest's successful relegation battle, Ryan 'Freebs' Freebury. Will Freebs get his classic GK shirt signed? Who do Israel really play in his childhood dream of being a World Cup correspondent? Was watching Forest in League 1 really as bad as watching a dog give birth? These are just some of the questions we ask, but fail to answer.
Dan is joined by freelance broadcaster, pornography critic and Forest fan, Jon Jackson, for the first episode of Forest by Numbers. They discuss Jon's choice of number that connects him to Nottingham Forest. Will Dan be able to shake his local radio voice? Who can find Jon a 2012 black and green XL away shirt for £28? Will that leave him with enough spare change to buy Matchday with Max a club branded phone case? Did Radi wear tights or just long socks? These are just some of the hot topics that make the cut. Imagine what didn't. If you have a Forest number then please do get in touch @forestbynumbers Thanks for listening!
