Recognised as one of the finest cricket venues across the globe, it has acted as host for county and Test cricket since 1838 and is the world's third oldest Test ground. It can now host 17,000 people on a match day and is regularly sold out for Test and One-day Internationals, as well as offering many other facilities to visitors and guests from around Nottingham and further afield. The stewarding is friendly and helpful, the bars plentiful and efficient, and there is a good cricket shop. The Club Library houses a terrific collection of books and you can while away time there if rain should intervene.

With a capacity of 17,500 (after the new stand was erected) the grounds are certainly not small in stature but it is able to maintain its friendly and welcoming nature which is helped by the many staff and stewards who are on site. Although I'm not the biggest cricket fan around, I have been here several times with my partner and have still always enjoyed the whole experience. It does seem to be particularly exciting when Trent Bridge plays host to Test cricket.

If this were the "Sh*tty Ground" then it would smell bad and be absolutely awful. If it were the…read more"Itty Bitty Ground" then it would be way too small for professional football. And if it were the "T*tty Ground" then it would be a strip club rather than a stadium. Thankfully it's none of the above. Wait, did I say thankfully? First-Hand Experience: More info about my personal experience at this stadium - I have a sort-of ex in Notts who is kind of famous. My most recent trip to the ground was after we hung out together for the morning which was lovely. Then I went to the City Ground alone, and honestly I was still buzzing from seeing her, so I probably had a 5-star experience and thought this was one of the best matches I'd been to in years (a home game against local rivals Derby). However, if I include every other time I've been to the City Ground (4 or 5 times, including once to watch Oxford play away), it's more like a 4. Because the corners of the ground don't keep the noise in, and it needs a little bit of renovation work. Also the stewards were not particularly friendly to me. Still, lots of good memories. I first came here as a kid, then as a teen, and now a few times as an adult. I look forward to my next trip. I've been to most UK & US stadiums, due to lifelong obsessions with travel, sport & especially footy (soccer to Americans). Born & raised in England, I followed Oxford United (hometown team) to stadia all over the country at away games, and later Liverpool (fave team) around. Every stadium review - like all my reviews - are from first-hand personal experience, usually from several visits. In 2011, I was on music tour in the UK, and visited most stadiums for fun in my spare time. As recently as Fall 2014, when I was "stuck" in UK for 3 months, I went to hundreds yet again while travelling. I have pictures of me at most, which I'll post later. Also, when back in UK I'll take more pix, and add more stadia! *** return to regular review *** It can host up to 31k and is right by the river. It's red and white and has been around since 1898 which is a long f***ing time. It looks pretty cool from above if a little uneven because of the differing types of stands and stuff. Nottingham had planned to move away so a new stadium could be built for the 2018 World Cup, but Russia won the right to host it instead of England, so now they're staying for awhile. It was used during Euro 96 and saw Croatia win and Portugal win twice. It still has some open corners, and while it's pretty huge it could be prettier and the corners could be filled in and that could improve the atmosphere. But it's right next to a river so it still scores a 4.

Of course I am biased (being a Forest Fan), however I believe the setting of the ground, the…read moredifferent and individual stands and the great atmosphere inside all contribute to making this one of the best football grounds in the UK. The stewarding is over-zealous and the student section is soulless, but the rest of the ground is great. Often hosts the Women's FA Cup Final... every stand has a history and every trip is memorable (sometimes for the wrong reasons!).

Their highest ever position was 3rd. First-Hand Experience: More info about my personal experience at this stadium - I've been to the City Ground to see matches, but have sadly never been to this old historic ground for a match. I have done a self-guided stadium tour though, in 2011, when I'd had some of the best fun imaginable in Nottingham (hi Kerry!). I look forward to my return, to see her again, and to see both the Notts stadiums again. Hopefully this time (2016) I can watch a live game here. I don't think it'll score more though... it needs a proper facelift and to be packed each week, before I can think about a 5th star.

It can hold up to 20k people. A rugby team plays here too. I used to go to school on Meadow Lane, by the way, but a different one.

The ice is also in good condition and brilliant for skating on, would recommend to everyone for ice skating and will be visiting again hopefully for another session, had a good time here.

When they're on the field and you want them to score a goal, just yell "Run, Forest, Run!" Ha. Ha. Ha. First-Hand Experience: I've seen Nottingham Forest play live in person 8 times (I think? It might be nine) so that qualifies me as a "Forest expert" and not in a Lumberjack sense, but in a footy sense. I'm no "fan" of the team, but I really respect them and their excellent, loud, intense support and their incredible success over the years. Absolutely brilliant club on every level. They deserve to be back in the big time, and the sooner that happens, the better. One of the truly great provincial clubs of the UK, and one of the biggest teams not currently in the Prem, and in fact they haven't been for a long time. Probably only Leeds United are bigger, and have been out for longer... and maybe the Sheffield teams. Derby have been up and down and in and out of the Prem, but Forest? Not since 1999 have they been playing Premier League football, and we miss them. They play in bright red and remind me of a super cute girl I know in Notts called Kerry. They are a rival of both Derby and Leicester and of course Notts Co who haven't been good for a long time. They play directly across the river from Notts Co. They have only won the Prem once, back in 1978, and that was due to Brian Clough, the genius that also won it with Derby. Absolutely amazing for a little club like this to win a trophy like that. But then they only went and shocked the entire world... By winning the European Cup (now the Champions League) in 1979. And though they didn't win the league ever again (you have to win the league to get in it), they were invited back the following year because the holders get to play in it again... and they only went and won it again! And Liverpool were in it too and they still managed to win it, in 1980. So in 3 years, Clough won one Premier League and two Champions Leagues... with NOTTINGHAM FOREST. Let that sink in for a minute. It would be like the current team of Southampton winning the Premier League, then winning the Champions League two years in a row. It's insane. They've also won the FA Cup twice 1898 and 1959, and have won 4 League Cups, all of them under Brian Clough... 78, 79, 89 and 90. So he actually won 7 major honours which is even more amazing... and five in those three magical seasons. They won the European Super Cup in 79 too. Clough was manager for almost 1,000 games and for 18 years, too, which is unprecedented really. He's up there with Alex Ferguson and people like that, he has to be. So in 18 years they only had one manager, and then in the 22 years since then they have changed manager TWENTY THREE times. Insane. Yet they've never had Nigel Clough come in. So even though I like Derby better, I'm going to give this legendary club a big 5 star rating. And dear Yelp, please remove "City Ground" from this listing, it has its own listing.
