Notts County Football Ground

Anyone familiar with parking around the area.

I'm going there on Thursday evening to watch the 'Varsity' match, son playing.

Given that I'm probably arriving at 19:15 and the match is at 19:45, I need to be sure of a parking space on my arrival.

Thanks in anticipation, MR2

Been to 'Fortress Meadow Lane' many times as I lived there for years and before learning how to drive and was able to take myself off to the Mecca of football (Elland Road) I adopted Notts as my half team in preference to the scum on t'other of Trent. Always used to use the cattle market on Meadow Lane itself (about 5 mins walk). Local pubs (they've probably changed name now) were the Magpies and the Trent Navigation. There's a trendy one on Trent Bridge itself that definately changes name every 2 years, (last known as the Aviary) but is known to me as the 'Town Arms' (one of your correspondents less then most glorious episodes in 1982 occurred there - we won). On the other side of the bridge is the Trent Bridge Inn, known as the TBI which is very much a cricket pub, but it's normally full of Forest filth. You're probably better off drinking in West Bridgeford than Notingham though. Enjoy!!! It's a good place and County are (or were) a very hospitable and friendly club

Thanks, I've plotted all those places on a map and I'll look forwards to their hospitality.
