I chose to go to this game because it was the last away game of the season and was looking forward to it because it’s one of the best atmosphere wise when they were in the championship.
We decided to drive up and it was fairly simple, some away fan road signs took us around a circle in Nottingham though.
Finding parking was fine, across the other side of the river was a car park which we paid £5 for.
It was called the Meadow Lane Sports Ground, and it’s within the Notts County stadium which was for away fans only. Atmosphere was bouncing.
View was great, enjoy being behind the goal family stand to your right, then you have a normal stand to your left.
Felt as though they were quiet at times, loud when they actually sang but even though they battered us we kept it up until the end.
No problems, only the expected chanting inside stadium so 10/10.
Right behind a Swans taxi which displayed welsh flags all around so attracted a lot of attention. Both sets of fans had a good laugh about it and made the exit enjoyable.
Apart from tickets and petrol, parking (£5), food for 2 (£10), and drinks inside stadium which didn’t pay for so not too bad.
I think I have been to better away days in the past but the atmosphere was good. Stadium is brilliant and just for that I would say it’s a good one to go to.
Opening game of the season and, having been there once before, a great ground to visit.
WBA supporters coach. Easy run from the Hawthorns which took just over an hour.
The view from the Bridgford (away) End is superb. No supporting pillars to get in the way.
The noise generated by both sets of supporters just before the teams took to the pitch was incredible, possibly due to it being the first game of the season. The Bridgford is two-tiered with away fans on the lower section so any noise generated is deafening.
Very friendly. No hassles. 10/10.
Took a while but police did stop traffic for the coaches.
Bought a programme and a pin badge so just over a fiver, plus the cost of the ticket and the supporters coach.
Definitely. The City Ground, like many others, has changed greatly over the last few years but it’s still one of the nicest grounds to visit. Every club should be on the banks of a river!
Forest is an away day that gets all the lads out. Great city for a night out and decent boozers. I was looking forward to it as it was great seeing mates old and new. Norwich have been getting some great results and Forest were strong at home. It was going to be a good test for the team for me to see if we’ve got the bottle when needed.
We travelled by train which was easy once we had negotiated the issues of no trains from Yarmouth to Norwich as they were cancelled. Getting home was poor. Only given two carriages for a full away allocation of 2,000 so it was a bit of a squeeze. Granted not everyone went on the train but they must of had an idea it would be busier especially with Forest fans travelling with Norwich back to Grantham and Peterborough.
Went slightly off the beaten track to go to some pubs and exploring the city and get some real ale. So no football atmosphere in any apart from the local Wetherspoons near the station and canal (The Company Inn). We went to Fothergills, Ye Old Trip to Jerusalem (oldest inn in England), The Old Salutation Inn (a little too rock and roll for me), The Ned Ludd (bar staff put on some tunes just for us). After the game the Vat and Fiddle near the station with decent football fans.
Just bottles of beer available. Didn’t try food. Saw lads with chips and a slab of plastic cheese on top.
View was great. Stewards were safe but understanding when our team scored.
Surprised with the Forest fans to be honest. 1-0 up and they didn’t really get behind their team. We out sang them for the whole of the second half and it got better when we got an equaliser and then limbs when the winner went in.
6/10
Easy to get out if you know where your going but there was no signage for away fans to get back to the station.
£200. With the three points, great company it was worth every penny. Still feel every away ticket should be £20. Even though I know my own club does charge more for some games.
Yes. Good old fashioned ground steeped in history.
