==Stadium== === City Ground === {{main|City Ground}} [[File:Nottingham MMB 15 City Ground.jpg|thumb|right|The [[City Ground]] on the banks of the [[River Trent]].]] Since 1898, Nottingham Forest have played their home games at the [[City Ground]] in [[West Bridgford]], on the banks of the [[River Trent]]. Before moving to the City Ground, Forest played their home games at [[Forest Recreation Ground]], then [[Trent Bridge]], and finally the purpose-built [[Town Ground (Nottingham)|Town Ground]]. Since 1994, the City Ground has been all-seater, a preparation that was made in time for the ground to be a venue for [[Euro 96]], and currently has a capacity of 30,404. The City Ground is 300 yards away from [[Notts County Football Club|Notts County's]] [[Meadow Lane]] stadium on the opposite side of the Trent, meaning the two grounds are the closest professional football stadia geographically in England. In 1898, the City Ground was within the boundaries of [[Nottingham]], which had been given [[city status in the UK|city status]] the year before and gave rise to the name of the stadium. However, a boundary change in the 1950s means that the City Ground now stands just outside of the city's boundaries in the town of West Bridgford. In 2019, Nottingham Forest announced plans to redevelop the City Ground and surrounding area, including the "creation of a new, world-class Peter Taylor Stand". It is expected this will increase the capacity of the stadium to 38,000, making it the largest football stadium in the [[East Midlands]]. The club was hopeful that building work could begin at the end of the [[2019β20 Nottingham Forest F.C. season|2019-20 season]], but the development was put on hold due to "delays in the planning process".<ref>{{cite web|title=Major stadium redevelopment to go ahead at Nottingham Forest|url=https://www.nottinghamforest.co.uk/news/2019/february/major-stadium-redevelopment-to-go-ahead-at-nottingham-forest/|publisher=Nottingham Forest Football Club|date=28 February 2019|access-date=25 August 2019|archive-date=9 June 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220609053457/https://www.nottinghamforest.co.uk/news/2019/february/major-stadium-redevelopment-to-go-ahead-at-nottingham-forest/|url-status=live}}</ref> In 2022, [[Rushcliffe Borough Council]]'s planning committee approved the club's request for planning permission.<ref>{{Cite web |last1=Davies |first1=Matt |last2=Clapson |first2=Sarah |last3=Wakefield |first3=Mark |last4=Wilson |first4=Amie |date=25 September 2022 |title=A look at where things stand with Forest's City Ground plans |url=https://www.nottinghampost.com/sport/football/football-news/what-know-far-those-big-3998108 |access-date=13 November 2022 |website=NottinghamshireLive |language=en |archive-date=31 March 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200331172147/https://www.nottinghampost.com/sport/football/football-news/what-know-far-those-big-3998108 |url-status=live }}</ref> === Ground history === {| class="wikitable sortable" |- ! style="background:#d00; color:#fff;" scope="col"|Period ! style="background:#d00; color:#fff;" scope="col"|Ground ! style="background:#d00; color:#fff;" scope="col"|Location |- |1865β78 | [[Forest Recreation Ground]] |Forest Fields |- |1879β80 |[[Castle Ground]] |The Meadows |- |1880β82 |[[Trent Bridge Cricket Ground]] |West Bridgford |- |1882β85 |[[Parkside Ground]] |Lenton |- |1885β90 |[[Gregory Ground]] |Lenton |- |1890β98 |[[Town Ground (Nottingham)|Town Ground]] |The Meadows |- |1898β98 |[[Town Ground (Nottingham)|City Ground]] |The Meadows |- |1898β |[[City Ground]] |West Bridgford |- |}
