The City Ground (Nottingham Forest FC)

The City Ground, home of the once European Champions Nottingham Forest, is a place I hadn't visited until a couple of years ago. That was until the fallen giants got relegated to Coca Cola League One and faced my team, Doncaster Rovers. I have to say, upon their relegation, this became the away fixture I just had to go to and I most certainly wasn't disappointed, well with most things but not quite all. The first thing you notice on entering the area is the complete lack of parking options around the ground and this has led me to go on the supporters coach for the last few visits. Once parked up though, you can't help but be impressed by the setting. The ...  Read the complete review

The City Ground is home to Coca Cola League Championship side Nottingham Forest and is situated beside the River Trent, approximately a 15-20 minute walk from Nottingham city centre. It is easily accessible from the city centre and from the train station, given that buses 6-11 will take you there (best to get off at Victoria Embankment) from opposite the Victoria Centre and from Broadmarsh Bus Station. The stadium has a capacity of around 30,000 divided between the Brian Clough stand (double tier), the Upper and Lower Bridgford, the Main Stand (single tier) and the Trent End (double tier). Away fans are sat in the Lower Bridgford and amenities such as players' ...  Read the complete review

Although I love Forest through and through I do get annoyed about the Forest board. They are not there to make the club better or get promoted but to make a profit. The stadium, for a division one side, is not a bad one. I personally prefer the Trent End as it is the newest and best condition one. As soon as they get enough cash together to knock down the Main Stand and bulid a new one, the stadium would be fit for the premiership. ...  Read the complete review

As much as I love Nottingham Forest I'm becoming increasingly frustrated at the lack of firepower and will to win in front of the home fans. We really try and get behind the boys but it really does put me in a bad mood for the whole weekend if we've played terrible on the Saturday. Many people in the media and on the local radio accuse the Forest fans of getting on the teams back once we go behind or start playing badly but what do you expect? We pay our money to get in, use petrol to get there and then usually waste a couple of hours watching a team under-perform to way below their potential. Sort it out Platty! ...  Read the complete review
