unusual facts about Meadow Lane



City Ground

The stadium was a venue when England hosted Euro 96, and is only three hundred yards away from Meadow Lane, home of Forest's neighbouring club Notts County; the two grounds are the closest professional football stadiums in England and the second closest in the United Kingdom after the grounds of Dundee F.C. and Dundee United.

Grace Church Nottingham

When Trent Vineyard Church moved out of Meadow Lane in 2003, its leader John Wright encouraged Sharp to move Grace Church into the venue, which quickly became the new home.

Nottingham derby

Games between the two clubs are often referred to as Trentside Derbies because of Meadow Lane and the City Ground's proximity to the River Trent.
