City Ground away guide

Nottingham Forest away end

Behind the goal at the south end, in the lower tier of the John Robertson Stand. Forest renamed it in May 2026 in honour of John Robertson, so tickets, ground guides and some signage still call it the Bridgford Stand. Head for the away turnstiles on Colwick Road, signposted as you come over Trent Bridge, with the visitors' ticket office collection point right behind the stand. Away wheelchair bays are in blocks W2 and X2, reached through the home accessible entrance in the lower tier and then escorted across.

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, or roughly a ten-minute bus ride if you would rather not walk it. Forest point visiting fans at the Nottingham City Transport services numbered 5 to 11, which drop closest to the ground. The tram is the one to ignore: no stop serves the City Ground, and the closest, Meadows Embankment, still leaves you a 20-minute walk. After the game the walk back to the station is generally clear, the river path empties cleanly.
