About Forest

The City Ground

The sport's best fairy tale: promoted in 1977, champions of England in 1978, and then European champions twice, in 1979 and 1980, under Brian Clough, the manager the England job never dared appoint. The City Ground sits on the Trent and the club has never quite stopped living with those two stars on the crest. Nobody else their size has them.

West Bridgford, Nottingham · 31,212 seats · opened 1898

The City Ground, Forest's home ground, opened in 1898. It holds 31,212, and hosts 19 Premier League games this season, from August to May.
