Club Overview

Nottingham Forest was founded in 1865 and is the oldest club currently in the Premier League. Under manager Brian Clough, the club won back-to-back European Cups in the 1978-79 and 1979-80 seasons.

Nottingham Forest is a Premier League club based in Nottingham. Their home ground is The City Ground, with a capacity of around 30,445.

Seating Guide

The City Ground is made up of the Peter Taylor Stand (main stand), Brian Clough Stand, Bridgford Stand (away fans), and Trent End.

Tickets

The safest way to buy tickets is directly through the club’s official website. Popular matches are often prioritized for season-ticket holders before general sale, so check availability as soon as your travel dates are set.

Cheer Culture

During the club’s late-1970s golden era, fans began reworking Wings’ ‘Mull of Kintyre,’ swapping in lyrics about ‘mist rolling in from the Trent.’ Officially adopted as the pre-kickoff PA song in 2008, the full-stadium singalong remains one of the City Ground’s signature pre-match moments today.
