City Ground, Home of Nottingham Forest Football Club by drone

I visited Nottingham today with the idea of capturing both Nottingham Football clubs by drone and then visiting a few stadiums on the way back home.
Here is my video of the City Ground, home of Nottingham Forest and I have shared some facts about the stadium and club too.
Its a magnificent stadium set in a great location.
I hope you enjoy the video.

(the lucky ones)…No shame in that, it happened to many!…About the same time, the same thing happened to Leeds,only the Leeds fans were in such a panic they forgot to turn left into the station and ran into the city centre!…It was hilarious watching them trying to get back to the station in small groups staring at their shoes etc etc..Their train left half empty…..

Great - I loved the drone footage! I live just out of the picture and have supported Notts County for 60 years. We are the oldest professional football club in the world (founded 1861) and was the oldest league club as well until we were relegated to the National League. Forest are a Johnny come lately club compared to us.

[@leeandrew6555]

I think the worlds oldest club is Sheffield FC. Nottingham Forest are the oldest professional club and until recently that honour belonged to Notts County who were relegated out of the football league. Side note: Stoke City try and claim oldest professional club but Stoke City is a different club to the original Stoke. Decent footage, you’ll have to come back when the new Peter Taylor stand is built. For comparison shots.

[@alexscott1257]

Thanks I really enjoyed this one. Fun fact: The County Ground is actually in the boundaries of Nottingham City and the City Ground is just across the boundary (the river) and is technically in Nottinghamshire County.

[@waynezahra9213]

Great video. However…The oldest football club in the world is Sheffield F.C. I think even Wrexham, Notts county, and stoke FC are older than Forrest.

[@DMC1978666]

Love your videos, been following since the Anfield Road Stand and Bramley Moor Dock videos started, and this as a Forest fan is very welcome... Couple of things, we are not the oldest, Stoke City are older, and although no longer a league club, Notts County are older still. We've also not won the UEFA Cup... And it is Forest, Nottingham Forest or Nottm. Forest, but never ever Notts Forest... - all good, not even Sky can get that right... ;) All the best

[@Nathanlevi]

Forest are the "oldest Football League club". The whole stoke / forest debate thing was about that title and it was found out that historically stoke City were not formed in 1863 but in 68 and forest was 65.

[@DMC1978666]

@@Nathanlevi Aye. I've heard this before, but never seen anything official, especially from Forest... I believe they found paperwork showing this when they pulled down the Victoria Ground... And yet, they still have 1863 on their badge, and their official history (available on their website) still states 1863. Ultimately, Forest are better ;) #COYR 26mins later... Just doing a lil reading, and, well... So EFL recognise Forest as oldest member club, despite no confirmation from the reds, and Stokes official history still stating 1863... But, Wrexham have been recently found to have been formed 1864... Seems generally held that a lot of clubs from this era didn't have the best record keeping... And it can get murky and muddy when you take into account how clubs have formed through amalgamation of 2 or 3 other clubs, for example, Cambridge United's history could stretch back to the 1840's, and is recognised by the FA.... I personally still go with what I've "known" all my life, Notts, Stoke, Forest as the oldest 3 league clubs - Notts will count again when they get promoted back to the EFL...

[@forestfanatic4605]

The football league don’t recognise Stoke City as the oldest as there 1863 claim can’t be proven so they have given the title to Forest as the worlds oldest football league club

[@DMC1978666]

Great vid,beautifully filmed…People who have never been to Nottingham don’t realise what a gem it is!….Nottingham has the tightest city boundaries of any UK city…Its actual urban population at the last census was 928,000*, making Nottingham the 2nd largest population in the The Midlands after Birmingham,and the 7/8 largest population in the UK (dependent upon which metric you choose)…And never refer to us as Notts Forest..It’s either Forest or Nottingham Forest…*Wikipedia

[@TroysPop]

I'm certainly no expert of English football but I do remember that Justin Fashanu played for this team back in the 1980's. My recollection from the documentaries I watched was that it was not a good time for him there and that he and the coach did not get along well. I think he only stayed for a couple of seasons. He was quite a personality.
