City Ground anchor
Nottingham Forest as the main matchFlexible bonus
The City Ground sits on the south bank of the Trent, a walk from the centre over the bridge, so it is an easy ground to base a weekend on.
Build the route around one anchor match
Start with the match that would justify the trip on its own. Everything else should be close enough, cheap enough, or flexible enough that the weekend still works if kick-off times move.
Meadow Lane route
Notts County as the backupFlexible bonus
Notts County play at Meadow Lane on the north bank, only a few hundred metres across the river, which makes a two-club Nottingham weekend realistic when the fixtures line up.
East-Midlands bonus
Regional flexible matchFlexible bonus
Derby, Leicester and the wider East Midlands add rail-friendly bonus grounds when the Nottingham calendar does not line up.

Ticket caution
Nottingham Forest top-flight fixtures are usually membership-and-loyalty games, so verify availability on the club's official site before paying, and treat resale offers with caution. Footbeen does not sell tickets; it helps you plan the trip and keep the match, stadium and city in your football record after you go.

Can you watch Nottingham Forest and Notts County in one weekend?
When the fixtures fall on different days, yes. The City Ground and Meadow Lane are only a few hundred metres apart across the Trent, so a two-club weekend is one of the easiest in England.
Where should visitors buy Nottingham football tickets?
Use the official club ticket office or authorised hospitality. Avoid screenshots, social sellers and unofficial resale claims.
