Meadow Lane
Meadow Lane is the home of Notts County FC. The stadium has a capacity of 20,300 seats.
In its early years Notts County mostly played at the Trent Bridge Cricket Ground, but when its lease wasn’t renewed in 1910, they had to look for a new ground. The club rented a site at Meadow Lane which they got ready to play before the start of the 1910/1911 season.
The stadium initially consisted of only one stand, but was soon expanded with earth banks and a newly built main stand. A new County Road stand was built in 1925.
The Kop was extended after the War, but few changes were made until the 1970s. By that time the stadium had slowly fallen into disrepair. At one point the Meadow Lane Stand got demolished, but was never replaced.
In the early 1990s the club decided to completely rebuild the stadium, starting with the construction of three new stands in 1992, and followed by the reconstruction of the Main Stand in 1994.
Getting there
Meadow Lane is located just south of Nottingham Rail station and the city centre. The stadium lies very close to the City Ground, with only the river Trent separating the two.
The walk from the station takes just 10 minutes. The walk from Market Square in the city centre just over 20 minutes.
By car, coming from the M1 (west or south), take exit 24 and get on the A453 towards West Bridgford and Wilford. Continue following the signs for Wilford on the B679 until you arrive at a crossroads with the A60, and join the A60 north. The A60 runs passed the stadium. Turn right just after the bridge over the river Trent.
Coming from the M1 north, take exit 24 and make your way to the city centre and subsequently the A60. Follow the A60 south and turn left onto Cattle Market Road a few hundred metres after having crossed the bridge over the railroad tracks.
Address: Meadow Lane, Nottingham NG2 3HJ
