Best sections

Trent End

Named for the nearby river, this two-tier end is the home of the most passionate support — lower tier is best for atmosphere.

Brian Clough Stand

The main side stand named after the legendary manager, with the best central views and main hospitality.

Bridgford Stand

Houses away fans and has a distinctive dipped roof required by the council; home areas here offer good value.

Insider tips

  • The ground is a riverside walk from Nottingham city centre across Trent Bridge — scenic but busy on matchdays, so allow extra time.
  • The City Ground sits about 300 yards from Notts County's Meadow Lane across the River Trent, the closest pair of league grounds in England, so check which stadium your event is at.
