City Ground away guide

Nottingham Forest away end

The away allocation sits in the Bridgford Stand (Bridgford End), Lower Tier, behind the goal at the south end of the ground. The block runs across the lower deck. Forest offer around 3,000 away seats for league fixtures, the Premier League standard. Away turnstiles are off Colwick Road, signposted as you cross Trent Bridge.

City Ground bag policy

Forest's matchday guide says no bags larger than A4 are permitted at the City Ground. It advises supporters to bring a bag only if absolutely essential.

Getting to City Ground: nearest station

Nottingham station is about a 20-minute walk along the Embankment, the prettiest approach to a Premier League ground. The tram doesn't run direct to the City Ground, so walking is the move. After the game the walk back to the station is generally clear, the river path empties cleanly.
