^New Stand at Trent Bridge Cricket Ground ^

The City Ground is home of Nottingham Forest (The Reds).Nottingham Forest beat Port Vale 2-0. Goals scored by Junior Agogo and Lewis McGugan. A good festive trip all round. I (Ross) went on my own on a local Arriva (99) bus from Coalville to Nottingham. The Main stand was opened 1965 and then re-opened in 1968 after a fire destroyed some of the stand during a First Division game against Leeds United. As a result, Forest played there next 6 home games at Meadow Lane. The Brian Clough stand is a two tiered stand with executive boxes was opened in 1980 costing £2m and after that the re-development of the Bridgford End, a two tiered stand (Lower tier is allocated to the Away supporters). The unusual shape of the roof was a planning requirement to allow sunlight to reach houses in nearby Colwick Road. And finally, the Trent End was built in time for the Euro 96. The Trent End is a landmark on the embankment of the River Trent which runs through the city.
