Exploring England's 2 CLOSEST FOOTBALL STADIUMS 🏟️⚽️🏟️ Nottingham Forest & Notts County 

I think I’ll blame that Pint 🍺 for my Notts County Meadow Lane CAPACITY Error… 😅👍🏾

You need to witness a forest game especially mull of kintyre it will give you goosebumps

Great blog mate, (meadow lane has a max capacity of 20,500)

Class. Been abroad in Slovakia for 6 years now, thanks for sharing what is my life's love. You Reds !

My memories of forest in the 90's....Stuart Pearce, Ian Woan's free kicks and the classic Labbatts shirt.

was at brian cloughs first game in charge a cup match at white hart lane in 1975 2nd div forest beat first div spurs,a sign of things to come cheers Ry

Great video, the Kop has a good atmosphere if you were to go again! The area does look nicer in the summer as well

2 Great Grounds!!! One great Vid👍

Forest won 4 League Cups under Brian Clough (not two) 1978, 1979, 1989, 1990.

Great to see both grounds again thank you...grew up near the City ground and watched both clubs play as a kid, now living down south but still follow the reds

Very good blog love the background music you play..👍🏻

Van hooijdonk was great for us.. Wish he didnt get all funny. From that moment he went on strike til steve cooper took us to the prem. We struggled. Hooijdonk mustve black magick voodooed us, but the african presence at the club has lifted the veil, ive never seen such a buzz at forest. Crazy.. Wakanda forever 😜❤

Yet another cracking video buddy, love the way you appeared to sneak into the City ground, I thought WTF ! Then you fessed up, keep up the good work, Im sure us subscribers appreciate it, I do for sure 10/10

Love this video you was at my club on the Friday night I was there too not a great game for notts tht night I was in the same stand as u my friend Richard morris hope to see u at the lane for big big game once day soon

Nice to see Notts get some coverage!

Great video. Ian Storey Moore on the legends stone, I remember talking to him a few years back. Brian Clough announced his signing for Derby county in 1972, but he did a U-turn and signed for Manchester United. Clough wasn't happy!

Legends Lounge is sick, the food is amazing and a great view of the pitch, recommend 👍

class as usual mate kp them coming change nothing trust me bud all good 👍💯💯💯👍👍

I'm a forest fan and I have been inside the legends lounge against man United and it is amazing great hospitality and 1 forest legend comes and does an interview in the middle, you get padded seats and free snacks with a program It is the best experience you can have in the city ground You redssss

Awesome video mate!

Thanks (from Malaysia) for this trip down memory lane. Good to see the fan base is still as old as it always was. Btw, Meadow Lane was only three-sided during the rebuilding. It holds over 20K today and we often got 30+ in the 70s (eg an unlucky loss to the great Leeds team of the mid-70s).

Love the video i was one of the 953 gillingham fans up the gills

Loved the video ❤

Yeah matey come see a game n I would meet up n tell you many games n story's iv got... amazing videos

Alright Milkman Ry. Love the content son. Keep it coming 👏

Great content m8. I'm a true Forest Fan. That's funny how you gate crashed the City Ground.

Cheers me duck watched this whilst eating me snap at wok 👍🏻

Hey Ry, I enjoyed your Notts County visit. I remembered them in The Top Flight as a kid, Pedro Richards, John Chedozie, Rachid Harkouk and Brian Kilcline filled filled up my 80s panini book then. I also remember Jimmy Sirrel. Looking forward to Brighton as I formerly lived local to The Amex

Thanks Ry, I fancy a burger now 😡

Thanks. I hope I get there one day

The attendance at Notts v Gillingham was 10, 340. A National League record attendance of 16,511 was set v Yeovil in 22/23 season. Before Meadow Lane was redeveloped (it was only 3-sided for a very short time whilst the main stand was replaced) there was a very old and small wooden stand at the Meadow Lane end. This dated from when they played across the river at the cricket ground. It was floated across the river when they moved to Meadow Lane. Forest played at Meadow Lane for a while in the mid-1960's after a fire destroyed the main stand at the City Ground. Next to the City Ground, there is Nottingham Rugby, and about 1/2 a mile away towards the city centre is the Ice Stadium (around 10,000 capacity) with Nottingham Panthers Ice Hockey.

There wanting to increase the capacity of the city ground to 40,000 and also want to improve the area around the ground

Have you been to Prenton Park yet? (Home of Tranmere Rovers). If not, you definitely should. A great ground.

There is a seccond shop in the city by the council building

If & when you want to come to Rotherham's New York Stadium I could help out, even take you to our old ground of Millmoor which is still intact.

One of the main developments you were asking about, is that Forest are going to rebuild the "Peter Taylor Stand" (also known as the Main Stand) to drastically increase the seating capacity of the ground itself. I have also been in the Legends Lounge! ❤

I’ve been in the legends lounge 🎉

I went to Forest v Derby at the City Ground, it was absolutely immense! It wasn't a patch on Elland Road, but it's a class gaff.

First! Top of the league.

Great video mate would you ever consider doing all grounds from the championship league 1 and 2

👍👍

NOTTS County's Meadow Lane stadium looks like a Championship ground.. certainly the capacity looks far greater than nine thousand. Look forward to your visit to The City Ground for the brilliant matchday experience.

Great video mate 👍 Just a bit of information about the redevelopment of the City Ground. The Peter Taylor stand is being knocked down for a new three tier stand. It will bring the capacity up to 36 000 . Also the bridgeford end is being reconstructed to eventually bring the Ground capacity to 38,000 Cheers 🍻

Chris we used to play in the cave back in the 60s ,think it was in that area that collapsed, probably about 150/200 yards from the A 70 if my memory serves me right. Oh it wasn't the English who cut of Gavin's ear's it was Scottish catholic Jacobites during the killing years. That's the main reason the Cameronians were raised, didn't they teach you local history in the primary school like we did.

brill video mate, i noticed you had an e-ticket, i thought you scanned the QR code?, yours looked different to mine.

I love Nottingham. I spend a lot of time there, watching the Nottingham Panthers (Nottingham's professional Ice Hockey club) I have been to the City Ground 4 times & Meadow Lane twice

Notts county originated the black and white stripes which lead to juventus adopting kits from notts county, an English man who had a friend who played for county back in the early days asked to borrow and supply 11 notts county kits that is where juventus had the idea to use the black and white stripes for their home kit

A cold wet night , not in Stoke.

They’re expanding the stadium I believe to 38,000 by adding a corner to one of the stands

Tours: Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City, Liverpool, Everton, West Ham, Newcastle, Brentford, Crystal Palace, Wolves, Tottenham, Fulham Game only: Manchester United, Burnley, Sheffield United, Aston Villa Bournemouth Broke into (incomplete tour): Nottingham Forest Remaining teams: Brighton, Luton

Developments are upgrading the stands and bigger

As kids we jumped over the gate and camped all night in city ground we had to escape frome ground staff in morning😂

It currently has an all-seated capacity of 18,816 for EFL games, although its maximum capacity is 20,229

Hiya mate, going to be random but do you mind me asking how tall you are? I’ve seen your dhgate videos and I’m going to buy some and am unsure what size to get. (Very lean but 6”2)

The developments coming to the city ground is the Peter Taylor stand is being rebuilt into a 2 tier stand like the Trent end and Brian clough stand but it will be more modern than the rest of the stadium but I thought I’d let you know from a forest fan come on you reds 🔴⚪️🌳

🎉

My dad is friends with some old Forest players. One of them gave my dad his old fridge.

LCA terrain is great.

Went to forest about 11 years ago and county opened their bar for away fans going to forest

There’s the main stand Trent end brigford stand and Brian Clough stand

Only thing I’d correct is the stadium is 19k, we are allowed up to 17k which we have reached in the past few years, we get 10-11k most games this season

You need to come back we went in our best form because we literally just lost our manager so pls come visit meadow lane again COYP

Great video❤ gave you follow . Nffc my team❤️ Notts County was my late grandads ❤️🙏🏻

They are building corporate boxes on the corners of the grounds. We are still waiting on the redevelopment to increase capacity by knocking down the peter taylor stand to become the biggest stadium in east midlands. Not holding out hope, I have been waiting forever to see this stadium increase it's size, would do wonders for the club and local economy.

I'm not going to go through all the comments to check if it was mentioned but the capacity at Meadow Lane is much nearer 20K than it is 10K.

How many UK football clubs have a Black and White stripe kit, with Magpies as their nickname ? . Is this the most common amongst UK clubs !

hit the likes ppl lets get this channel 50k subs 👍💯👍💯👍

FOREST WON 4 LEAGUE CUPS FANTASTIC CHANNEL AND CONTENT ⚽🥅🏐

You're incorrect I'm afraid. The capacity of meadow Lane is around 20,000. There was 10,500 at the Gillingham game.

15th man will take that

Hello mate can you do arsenal soon thanks 1:59

The magpies are cute the mascots but not as cool as wolfie and Wendy and Wilfred

Who won the 1959 FA cup mate ? COYR 🌳❤️

Think you got your capacity a bit wrong?

What was the attendance on the game you attended with a capacity of under 9,000 🤷‍♂️

SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY Hillsborough Stadium is Only 4 & ahalf Miles Away from SHEFFIELD UNITED Bramhall Lane Stadium & for people who don’t know SWFC used to play at Bramhall lane before SuFC was even invented they was also Called the Blades again before SUFC was even Invested Before leaving for Hillsborough & changing to the OWLS! SWFC 1867 SUFC 1889

Notts actually broke over 16,000 record for a non league game.

Hmmmm was really excited about seeing my TEAM, FOREST on one of your videos and then you do it at night. 🙄

Only one team in Nottingham YOU REDSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Don't know where you got your numbers from. Meadow Lane capacity is 20,000. Average gate this season is 11,000.

forest have won the league cup 4 times not 3

"obviously"

Make sure you come back to county for a different game would hate for your to have only seen a loss.

Yep, and they're still talking amongst themselves about a cup they won 50 years ago with a Derby County manager.

Notts County is the Oldest Professional Football Club/Ground But SHEFFIELD FC is the Oldest Football Club in the World 1857! But they was Never professional that why some people/Football fans get confused! They sold the first ever Rules Book afew Years ago as they needed the Money! Sad because they should have made them stay in Sheffield

capacity just over 20k**

Official capacity at meadow lane is just over 20k, but due to rules etc we're allowed 17.5k/18k🤣🤣 Even with the 3 sides we still had a higher capacity than 10k. Massively wrong their sir x

You pies!

Wrong about 2 league cups. We went to 6 league cup finals, winning 4 of them.

its 6 -1 mate

Mate do your research ffs,ground holds nearly 19k,Jesus you say its 9.9k the match you were at had over 10k there....wow

the women to men ratio was true when the city produced lace, when that industry died so did the ratio of men to wemon
