We are Top Valley School & Engineering College. On Friday 5th November, 20 students and 3 staff went to Nottingham Forest Study Centre.
On arrival we were met by Jane Francis, our guide for the day.
The day gave us a great insight into what it was like to be a young player at the Academy. We learnt all about life in the “digs” which is home to the academy players and met Aristote (Harry), Sebastian (Seb) and Jack. They told us about how they were scouted, their diet, the rules they have to follow and the fines they get if they don’t!!!!
On the tour of the ground we found out that one Top Valley student – Jack had a talent as a Billy Davies impersonator. Jack did a really convincing “Billy” impersonation shouting instructions from the touch line to some very frightened imaginary players!
We also got to meet Lewis McGugan and Luke Chambers who were about to leave for the Watford match. After autographs we wished them good luck! We all thought it was a brilliant experience and learnt so much about the City Ground and the club!!!!
Come on you Reds!!!
