I think I’ll blame that Pint 🍺 for my Notts County Meadow Lane CAPACITY Error… 😅👍🏾
As a Forest fan I respect your respect and I must admit I have a soft spot for the RysFootyParadise channel. Nice informative blog.
Great blog mate, (meadow lane has a max capacity of 20,500)
Nice max capacity... How many fans have they got though 😂😂... I like county.. Even though im a forest fan.. Jokes aside it Would be nice if they fill the ground one day
@@leerichard994 we do fill it most days, fill the capacity we are allowed anyway. It’s been averaging 9-11 thousand this season, slowly going to start dropping if we continue as we are though 😂
You need to witness a forest game especially mull of kintyre it will give you goosebumps
It's an amazing atmosphere
My memories of forest in the 90's....Stuart Pearce, Ian Woan's free kicks and the classic Labbatts shirt.
Those Labbatts shirts 😍
Class. Been abroad in Slovakia for 6 years now, thanks for sharing what is my life's love. You Reds !
Still ftyd,?
Great to see both grounds again thank you...grew up near the City ground and watched both clubs play as a kid, now living down south but still follow the reds
was at brian cloughs first game in charge a cup match at white hart lane in 1975 2nd div forest beat first div spurs,a sign of things to come cheers Ry
his first match in charge was a 2-2 draw with Orient if my memory serves me right- though the Tottenham game was very early in his tenure
orient game was dec 74 clough never took the reins until 6th jan 75 this game was 8th jan 75 cheers@@graham212red
@@graham212red No mate your memory is shot, though you make a good match for this Ry dude and some of the nonsense he comes up with.
@graham212red Do you remember the Plymouth Argyle game..First match of the season,wild days…Bet Plymouth fans remember it to this day!
Forest won 4 League Cups under Brian Clough (not two) 1978, 1979, 1989, 1990.
Great video, the Kop has a good atmosphere if you were to go again! The area does look nicer in the summer as well
Van hooijdonk was great for us.. Wish he didnt get all funny. From that moment he went on strike til steve cooper took us to the prem. We struggled. Hooijdonk mustve black magick voodooed us, but the african presence at the club has lifted the veil, ive never seen such a buzz at forest. Crazy.. Wakanda forever 😜❤
2 Great Grounds!!! One great Vid👍
Very good blog love the background music you play..👍🏻
Cheers mate 😊👍🏾
Love this video you was at my club on the Friday night I was there too not a great game for notts tht night I was in the same stand as u my friend Richard morris hope to see u at the lane for big big game once day soon
Awesome video mate!
Cheers! 🍻
Legends Lounge is sick, the food is amazing and a great view of the pitch, recommend 👍
Yet another cracking video buddy, love the way you appeared to sneak into the City ground, I thought WTF ! Then you fessed up, keep up the good work, Im sure us subscribers appreciate it, I do for sure 10/10
I'm a forest fan and I have been inside the legends lounge against man United and it is amazing great hospitality and 1 forest legend comes and does an interview in the middle, you get padded seats and free snacks with a program
It is the best experience you can have in the city ground
You redssss
NOTTS County's Meadow Lane stadium looks like a Championship ground.. certainly the capacity looks far greater than nine thousand. Look forward to your visit to The City Ground for the brilliant matchday experience.
He won't visit it for a Matchday, normal regular matchgoers can't get tickets he has no chance
Not 9k but 19.6k !!!
it'll be a little over 20K once they expand the concourse on the away end health and safety are limiting capacity to 19.6k atm @@user-th6cv5od9u
It is far bigger than 9k.
@@MarleyNFFC😊😊
Great video mate 👍
Just a bit of information about the redevelopment of the City Ground.
The Peter Taylor stand is being knocked down for a new three tier stand.
It will bring the capacity up to 36 000 .
Also the bridgeford end is being reconstructed to eventually bring the Ground capacity to 38,000
Cheers 🍻
Should be building a 12000 seater main stand, not 10000. Someone said Marinakis has bought the houses behind the Bridgford stand. The whole stadium needs expanding.
Ohh that’s cool 🤩 yeah the Peter Taylor did look like it was older than the rest so looking forward to visiting when it’s all done 👍🏾
@@BrianPinas9 Forest have owned the first 4 houses(2 either side of the road) for a while now. I put the TV's in them for the academy players years ago. Don't know if they've purchased anymore though?
@@dazzthorpe Just heard someone on that Forest Fan TV channel state that Marinakis had purchased the houses behind the Bridgford End. Would be nice to see a big expansion there.
@@BrianPinas9 Forest Fan TV... The man who does that is a Clown. a Fool.
Nice to see Notts get some coverage!
Loved the video ❤
Notts county originated the black and white stripes which lead to juventus adopting kits from notts county, an English man who had a friend who played for county back in the early days asked to borrow and supply 11 notts county kits that is where juventus had the idea to use the black and white stripes for their home kit
class as usual mate kp them coming change nothing trust me bud all good 👍💯💯💯👍👍
Legend thank you
Great video. Ian Storey Moore on the legends stone, I remember talking to him a few years back. Brian Clough announced his signing for Derby county in 1972, but he did a U-turn and signed for Manchester United. Clough wasn't happy!
Thanks (from Malaysia) for this trip down memory lane. Good to see the fan base is still as old as it always was. Btw, Meadow Lane was only three-sided during the rebuilding. It holds over 20K today and we often got 30+ in the 70s (eg an unlucky loss to the great Leeds team of the mid-70s).
Great content m8. I'm a true Forest Fan. That's funny how you gate crashed the City Ground.
Glad you enjoyed it mate 😅 hopefully back for a game
Love the video i was one of the 953 gillingham fans up the gills
If & when you want to come to Rotherham's New York Stadium I could help out, even take you to our old ground of Millmoor which is still intact.
Top man! Drop us a DM if you’re on Instagram mate? Was looking to head up to a Barnsley game so could kill two birds with one stone 😅
The attendance at Notts v Gillingham was 10, 340. A National League record attendance of 16,511 was set v Yeovil in 22/23 season.
Before Meadow Lane was redeveloped (it was only 3-sided for a very short time whilst the main stand was replaced) there was a very old and small wooden stand at the Meadow Lane end. This dated from when they played across the river at the cricket ground. It was floated across the river when they moved to Meadow Lane.
Forest played at Meadow Lane for a while in the mid-1960's after a fire destroyed the main stand at the City Ground.
Next to the City Ground, there is Nottingham Rugby, and about 1/2 a mile away towards the city centre is the Ice Stadium (around 10,000 capacity) with Nottingham Panthers Ice Hockey.
Have you been to Prenton Park yet? (Home of Tranmere Rovers). If not, you definitely should. A great ground.
Soon 👍🏾
Alright Milkman Ry. Love the content son. Keep it coming 👏
Haha cheers Josh
Hey Ry, I enjoyed your Notts County visit. I remembered them in The Top Flight as a kid, Pedro Richards, John Chedozie, Rachid Harkouk and Brian Kilcline filled filled up my 80s panini book then. I also remember Jimmy Sirrel. Looking forward to Brighton as I formerly lived local to The Amex
And I go back a few years before that - with a back line of Brindley, Stubbs, Needham, Worthington - when Notts dominated Div 4 in the early 70s. I might be misremembering but I think I recall Mark Hately, Steve Hodge, and Kilcline all playing schoolboy footie at Arnold schools. They used to paste us every year.
Yeah matey come see a game n I would meet up n tell you many games n story's iv got... amazing videos

Thanks. I hope I get there one day
Cheers me duck watched this whilst eating me snap at wok 👍🏻
There wanting to increase the capacity of the city ground to 40,000 and also want to improve the area around the ground
I went to Forest v Derby at the City Ground, it was absolutely immense! It wasn't a patch on Elland Road, but it's a class gaff.
Why? Neutrals should never be allowed at those games
brill video mate, i noticed you had an e-ticket, i thought you scanned the QR code?, yours looked different to mine.
I’m not sure what I had to be fair 😁 they didn’t attach the usual ticket to the email so I had to give the ticket office a shout
There is a seccond shop in the city by the council building
One of the main developments you were asking about, is that Forest are going to rebuild the "Peter Taylor Stand" (also known as the Main Stand) to drastically increase the seating capacity of the ground itself.
I have also been in the Legends Lounge! ❤
Great video mate would you ever consider doing all grounds from the championship league 1 and 2
100% 😊 doing a few this season 👍🏾
I love Nottingham. I spend a lot of time there, watching the Nottingham Panthers (Nottingham's professional Ice Hockey club)
I have been to the City Ground 4 times & Meadow Lane twice
You’ve got the right surname for Forest 😉
@@RysFootyParadise Haha!! A lot of people say that when I go to Nottingham.
Chris we used to play in the cave back in the 60s ,think it was in that area that collapsed, probably about 150/200 yards from the A 70 if my memory serves me right. Oh it wasn't the English who cut of Gavin's ear's it was Scottish catholic Jacobites during the killing years. That's the main reason the Cameronians were raised, didn't they teach you local history in the primary school like we did.
Thanks Ry, I fancy a burger now 😡
I’ve been in the legends lounge 🎉
They’re expanding the stadium I believe to 38,000 by adding a corner to one of the stands
Hiya mate, going to be random but do you mind me asking how tall you are? I’ve seen your dhgate videos and I’m going to buy some and am unsure what size to get. (Very lean but 6”2)
A cold wet night , not in Stoke.
It currently has an all-seated capacity of 18,816 for EFL games, although its maximum capacity is 20,229
Developments are upgrading the stands and bigger
The developments coming to the city ground is the Peter Taylor stand is being rebuilt into a 2 tier stand like the Trent end and Brian clough stand but it will be more modern than the rest of the stadium but I thought I’d let you know from a forest fan come on you reds 🔴⚪️🌳
First! Top of the league.
👍👍
As kids we jumped over the gate and camped all night in city ground we had to escape frome ground staff in morning😂
You need to come back we went in our best form because we literally just lost our manager so pls come visit meadow lane again
COYP
LCA terrain is great.
Only thing I’d correct is the stadium is 19k, we are allowed up to 17k which we have reached in the past few years, we get 10-11k most games this season
They are building corporate boxes on the corners of the grounds. We are still waiting on the redevelopment to increase capacity by knocking down the peter taylor stand to become the biggest stadium in east midlands. Not holding out hope, I have been waiting forever to see this stadium increase it's size, would do wonders for the club and local economy.
I'm not going to go through all the comments to check if it was mentioned but the capacity at Meadow Lane is much nearer 20K than it is 10K.
Went to forest about 11 years ago and county opened their bar for away fans going to forest
How many UK football clubs have a Black and White stripe kit, with Magpies as their nickname ? . Is this the most common amongst UK clubs !
There’s the main stand Trent end brigford stand and Brian Clough stand
Great video❤ gave you follow . Nffc my team❤️ Notts County was my late grandads ❤️🙏🏻
You're incorrect I'm afraid. The capacity of meadow Lane is around 20,000.
There was 10,500 at the Gillingham game.
I was a bit tipsy after that Stella I think 🍺 too many grounds on zero sleep the past couple months hasn’t helped either 😅
My dad is friends with some old Forest players. One of them gave my dad his old fridge.
Cool 😅
🎉
Make sure you come back to county for a different game would hate for your to have only seen a loss.
FOREST WON 4 LEAGUE CUPS FANTASTIC CHANNEL AND CONTENT ⚽🥅🏐
will be back at Forest for the Fulham game!
Think you got your capacity a bit wrong?
SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY Hillsborough Stadium is Only 4 & ahalf Miles Away from SHEFFIELD UNITED Bramhall Lane Stadium
& for people who don’t know SWFC used to play at Bramhall lane before SuFC was even invented they was also Called the Blades again before SUFC was even Invested Before leaving for Hillsborough & changing to the OWLS!
SWFC 1867
SUFC 1889
hit the likes ppl lets get this channel 50k subs 👍💯👍💯👍
Top man appreciate the support 🤩👍🏾
Who won the 1959 FA cup mate ?
COYR 🌳❤️
I meant under Cloughy - I had the 2 FA Cup wins in writing as I was yapping 😅👍🏾
15th man will take that
What was the attendance on the game you attended with a capacity of under 9,000 🤷♂️
The magpies are cute the mascots but not as cool as wolfie and Wendy and Wilfred
Don't know where you got your numbers from. Meadow Lane capacity is 20,000. Average gate this season is 11,000.
Only one team in Nottingham YOU REDSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Notts actually broke over 16,000 record for a non league game.
Notts County is the Oldest Professional Football Club/Ground
But SHEFFIELD FC is the Oldest Football Club in the World 1857!
But they was Never professional that why some people/Football fans get confused! They sold the first ever Rules Book afew Years ago as they needed the Money!
Sad because they should have made them stay in Sheffield
Hmmmm was really excited about seeing my TEAM, FOREST on one of your videos and then you do it at night. 🙄
They need to start doing stadium tours 😊 will try to get up for a match 👍🏾
forest have won the league cup 4 times not 3
"obviously"
Yep, and they're still talking amongst themselves about a cup they won 50 years ago with a Derby County manager.
Official capacity at meadow lane is just over 20k, but due to rules etc we're allowed 17.5k/18k🤣🤣
Even with the 3 sides we still had a higher capacity than 10k.
Massively wrong their sir x
Must have been that bloody pint 🍺 🤣 I
Why are you only allowed 18k?
capacity just over 20k**
Wrong about 2 league cups. We went to 6 league cup finals, winning 4 of them.
You pies!
the women to men ratio was true when the city produced lace, when that industry died so did the ratio of men to wemon
Shame 😅
its 6 -1 mate
Mate do your research ffs,ground holds nearly 19k,Jesus you say its 9.9k the match you were at had over 10k there....wow
