CITY GROUND
next: Sat 25 Nov
A 30.4k modernish all seater Prem style arena with tiers, on banks of the Trent. Nearly 5000 visitors can be accomodated behind south goal in lower Bridgford Stand. Usually a good atmosphere, especially for night games. Proposals to develop the ground to 38k ongoing.
nav - NG2 5FJ
A 200 mile journey to the north midlands, via M1 to J24 and A453 to city. Go on the A52 ring route signposted Grantham. Turn left from a roundabout towards Nottingham on the A6011. Follow to Radcliffe Road residential area for street parking. Or go past ground but not over river, bear left to council offices for car park - small charge. Nice short walk by riverbank to stadium.
Station about a mile to north, over Trent Bridge into city centre.
