History of the Nottingham Forest v Plymouth Argyle fixture

Plymouth Arg. pack their bags to visit Nottingham Forest at City Ground on Saturday afternoon, and have come away with little in previous meetings, having been beaten a depressing 15 out of 23 times.

The previous match played between the two at City Ground was more than three years back, in April 2005, as the visitors ran out cosy 0 - 3 winners in a Championship match.
