Full Description
The City Ground. Home to Nottingham Forest F.C. since 1898. Unchanged from then until the 1950s, and subsequently redeveloped up to 1980, when the new East or Executive stand opened. (3)
The ground replaced the earlier Town Ground, a few hundred yards across the river. The East, or Executive stand was opened in 1977 by Brian Clough and replaced an earlier structure built in 1957. The main stand was rebuilt in 1968 following a fire. The Trent End was rebuilt in 1994 following the Taylor Report's recommendation for all-seater stadia. The Bridgeford End was rebuilt in 1992. (2)
