About CITY GROUND
The City Ground has been Nottingham Forest's home since 1898, making it one of the longest-serving club grounds in English football. The stadium developed gradually through the 20th century, with significant stand constructions and renovations shaping its current form. It witnessed its most celebrated period under Brian Clough, when Forest won back-to-back European Cups in 1979 and 1980. The Trent End, the Brian Clough Stand, and the Peter Taylor Stand all reflect the ground's rich heritage. A long-discussed redevelopment of the Trent End stand was approved in the early 2020s following the club's return to the Premier League in 2022.
The City Ground generates a fierce, intimate atmosphere, particularly when the Trent End is in full voice. Forest supporters are passionate and loyal, and the tight stands amplify the noise effectively. European nights and top-flight fixtures against rivals draw especially intense crowds. The riverside setting adds a distinctive character rarely found at English football grounds.

How to get to CITY GROUND
The City Ground sits on the south bank of the River Trent, just east of Nottingham city centre in the West Bridgford area. Nottingham Railway Station is roughly a 20-minute walk away, with regular bus services also serving the ground. The ground is close to Trent Bridge cricket ground, making the area a well-known sporting hub.
Getting to CITY GROUND
The City Ground is located just south of Nottingham city centre on the south bank of the River Trent, within easy walking distance of the centre and Nottingham railway station, which is well served by national rail routes. Many fans choose to walk from town, crossing over Trent Bridge to reach the ground. Local buses and tram links serve the wider area, and on matchdays it's usually quicker to travel by public transport, as parking around the stadium is limited and roads can become busy. If you're driving, allow extra time and consider park-and-ride options into the city.
