Be careful where you park! My car was stolen never to be seen again when we last played at their place, the car park even had bastard stewards!

If staying night,
are you going on the pull....?
Doesn't Nottingham have the biggest ratio of women to men in the country....

Re: Notts Count game, things to do in Nottingham
 

Ye Olde Jerusalem Trip in the castle walls. Cracking Pint and not a bad pie as well.

Re: Notts Count game, things to do in Nottingham

Only one place to go Hooters

I thought that was an urban myth, based on post war statistics. So all those old spinsters will be long gone....

Happy to be proved wrong though!

Nah I just go to the Dog & Partridge in Nottingham City centre. Everything available at a great discount and it arrives in the pub within 30 minutes to order!!!!!

Re: Notts Count game, things to do in Nottingham
 

Hooters
Galleries Of Justice
Ye Olde Trip To Jerusalem
Rock City
Wollaton Hall

Some really decent food places depending on what you like.

As for parking on the Sunday avoid the Meadows area. Try and park West Bridgeford way.


As for the three to one ladies ratio the students aren't here at the moment

If there's a group of you then you could give this a go.

Can't think of anything worse myself but a mate of mine went a couple of weeks back on a stag weekend and said it was a brilliant laugh 😳

If you like history, you could always take a 15 minute train to Leicester to see the Richard III exhibition in the museum. Rather fascinating.

Why do the women who work there have to wear garments which have clearly been purchased from mother care and are far too small and tight - it shouldn't be allowed !

Failing that, take your fishing rod - trot a bronze caster under a stick float down the River Trent for a roach or chub - and forget about the football.

Stewards at Meadow Lane never had a good reputation with away supporters - be warned.

You're correct, it's a myth that's lasted since after the war when it was true for a few years. Last census had more men than women.

Re: Notts Count game, things to do in Nottingham
 

Forest v Birmingham?
Castle museum
Trip to Jerusalem pub ( when they say “duck” they are addressing you not telling you to get your head down although the roof beams are pretty low )

I'd search every bar until I find the lovely Notts lass Vicky Mclure....

Tried to get on the team bus only for Sir Les Evans to tell us it was full?!! Luckily a mate of mine had room for three and another mate had room for two. I’m still recovering from that night because I had all my original music albums in the car,my dads car I might add!

We lost 1-0, August05

Nottingham panthers are playing cardiff devils in an ice hockey pre season game on the Saturday night. As a cardiff devils season ticket holder I can recommend ice hockey as a good night out. Face off 7pm

Only one in Britain and right opposite the ground!! 😄

Re: Notts Count game, things to do in Nottingham
 

My advice, particularly if you are taking a lady friend is to head to. West Bridgford. Lovely place a good real ale pub and great bars. 10 min walk to the ground ��

I can tell you exactly where she lives.

Good chance she will probably be at the match, Manager i work with knows her quite well and he often has a chat with her at the matches.

Not entirely a myth.

In the 19th century Nottingham was the centre of the lace industry. The lace work was sub contracted out to the skilled women and daughters of the surrounding villages. This was purely value added work (good lace work could double the value of a garment) and they were paid accordingly.

The result was that the lasses in Nottingham could easily outspend the lads (women didn't even have the vote at this time) which led to them acquiring a reputation for feistiness, independence and fun.

It sticks to this day.

Good pub with excellent beers. Worth a visit.

Re: Notts Count game, things to do in Nottingham
 

A few in 'Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem' and there is a fantastic West Indian restaurant in the centre......

Great pub if you like good beer and a different atmosphere.

What the west indian place called???

Recommend The Calcutta club for a decent curry, Zzap Thai Street Food, CoCo Tang for Vietnamese street food and Reds Barbecue for BBQ stuff (If you go to Reds you will be drinking like a fish after, nice but well salty)

Can't remember the name NR but it is a rather large restaurant pretty much in the centre.........food was excellent.....

Got my train tickets to Nottingham and after a little bit of research have decided on the Vat and Fiddle and the Trent Navigation, 2 real ale brewery taps, for my liquid refreshment. Any one experienced a visit to either of them?

Re: Notts Count game, things to do in Nottingham
 

Anyone know if it's far to the station?
Good train back to Liverpool 17.39.

Railway station just a short walk down the road from the stadium - google / streetview it to get your bearings in advance.

Just had a quick look to settle my curiosity.

As I remember it - come out of the ground and turn north / right onto London Road (A60) - your going in the opposite direction to the River Trent (Forest's Ground & Trent Bridge cricket ground are just over the river a stone throw away).

A short walk along London Road and turn left into Queens Road - the railway station is pretty massive on your right side of the carriageway - entrance down the bottom end - I remember there is a pub close to the railway station entrance (unless it's closed but can't remember it's name)

To get to the railway station you will have to pass the legendary Hooters Bar on the corner of Queens Road.

Should take less than a 10 minutes from the ground.

I think we will take 1800 here, if we win 2 of our next 3 games

Re: Notts Count game, things to do in Nottingham
 

There's a nice pub on the river Brewhouse & Kitchen but is a cool place and a nice big beer garden overlooking the river

this might help
