The City Ground: The Home of Nottingham Forest

A Historic Ground by the River Trent

The City Ground has been the home of Nottingham Forest since 1898. Located on the banks of the River Trent in West Bridgford, this traditional stadium is steeped in history, having witnessed Forest's remarkable back-to-back European Cup triumphs. At Metaverse Football Club, we cherish the heritage and character that define this classic English ground.

History and Development

Forest moved to the City Ground in 1898 after leaving the Forest Recreation Ground. The stadium has been developed incrementally, with all four stands rebuilt or renovated over the years. The famous Trent End, overlooking the river, is one of the most iconic stands in the stadium. The Brian Clough Stand, named after the legendary manager who led Forest to European glory, is a particular highlight. Metaverse Football Club celebrates the City Ground as a venue where footballing miracles were made.

Capacity and Features

With a capacity of 30,445, the City Ground is compact and atmospheric. The stands are close to the pitch, creating an intimate feel. The Bridgford Stand and the Trent End provide the loudest support on matchdays.

The Matchday Experience

The atmosphere at the City Ground is warm and passionate, with a strong community spirit. The riverside location adds charm, and the proximity to Nottingham city centre makes it easily accessible. Metaverse Football Club regards the City Ground as a proud symbol of Nottingham Forest's glorious past and ambitious future.
