What other clubs can you see rival stadiums from???

Also worth mentioning: in honour of the great contribution Brian Clough made to both Derby & Forest, the main road between Derby and Nottingham (A52) is called the "Brian Clough Way".

Love the irony a game between two Nottingham teams is called a Derby……

I always feel Notts County need to have more of a status considering what they did and the whole Juventus link. I think from a neutral football fan it would be good to have them back in the big time...the same with Forest.

As a brazilian football fanatic I can tell you I've a lovely time studying in Nottingham Trent University and living this football rich city, over there I've chose to support Forest over County but they are both magic teams! Cruzeiro is my team of heart but I do support Forest as well as Heerenveen (NED), Porto (POR) and Palestino (CHI) !

Brian Clough. What a guy. He turned Derby from an average 2nd Division club into league champions in five seasons, then he did the same with Forest, except there it only took three years and he'd won two European Cups by the fifth full season as well. How I wish he was around today so that Daniel Levy could sign him up. If he couldn't fix Tottenham no-one could.

Thanks for this trip. I am Evertonian but I have huge respect to Nottingham’s football for their history and their contribution to the world football.

When you say “ Here is the River Trent” at the beginning, that’s actually the Grantham Canal. As a Forest fan, I’ve been to some great Nottingham derbies. Some players played for both clubs - Justin Fashanu was one. He got sent off playing for Notts against Forest.

I love that the City ground of Forest is technically on the County side of the river and thats Notts County actually play on the city side. A nice little quirk of Nottingham :) also that horrible bit of water at the start of the video was not the Trent it was the end/start of the Grantham Canal which feeds in/out of the trent. The actual Trent itself isn’t much better mind you 😂 Hope you enjoyed your short visit to Notts

I’ve seen County dozens of times over the years despite living in Newcastle. My Dad’s family lived in Notts and my Dad is a boyhood County fan. We also been travelling to a few Notts away games every season for nearly 20 years, including current National League games. The derby games between County and Forest are keenly contested but, as you say, infrequent and not as intense as some. It’s a shame the broken wheelbarrow didn’t get a mention but it was good to see Jimmy Sirrel covered. COYP.

I've been to the City Ground many times as a good friend of mine often invited me to go to Nottingham to watch Forest play. They're like a second team as I do hope one day they'll return to the Premier League. The City Ground is a beautiful stadium and a stadium that deserves Premier League football. I've been to a couple of Forest V Derby games and the atmosphere was amazing.

The Damned United if mainly about Clough at Leeds. The documentary I Believe In Miracles is about the famous Forest side and is excellent.

Dispite the lack of in stadium footage and fans, this has to be my favorite so far... There's just so much drama in football, two historical clubs here both on the wrong side of success in the modern era. Hopefully they'll rise again one day.

Been to both stadiums, watching Notts County play when they were in the First Division (now PL) under Jimmy Sirrel. Extra info, the path you walked along next to the Trent was where Brian Clough would also regularly walk, except he walked on the water, what a legend

Two fantastic grounds. The beautiful river setting strikes a chord with this Fulham supporter.

Best KZfaq channel I've found in a very long time. I recently began delving into football in the UK, and this channel is like a goldmine of information. I love it!

Dens Park (Dundee FC) & Tannadice (Dundee United) are literally a stones throw from each other

Thanks for the insight, it really interesting, the way you explain it, just incredible, will always watching your videos from now on. Cheers from a chelsea supporter. 👏🏻👏🏻

Outstanding video. 2 proper historical clubs. Watched the bury video too last night, really good. Keep it up 👍

Even as a West Ham supporter I remember Jimmy Sirrell.

Really love your videos mate and how passionate you are about the game and history

At the beginning of the video you where walking along the towpath of the disused Grantham Canal. It joins the River Trent between the City Ground and Lady Bay Bridge. I understand that plans are being formulated to reopen the canal and make it navigable again. The bridge that you used to walk over to Meadow Lane is called Trent Bridge. I have walked across it many times when going to see Forest play. I have heard that Stoke City is currently the oldest club to be playing in the football league. Stoke City were actually called Stoke Ramblers when originally founded in 1863. The club changed its name to Stoke City in 1878. Forest were originally a Shinty team who then formed an association football team called Nottingham Forest in 1865. This currently makes Forest the oldest club in the EFL.

I found this video a bit randomly and stood watching. Eleven minutes in, and what a good lad, he cleaned the webs on the statue with no actual need for it, just being a good citizen. I'll subscribe.

Hi Sam. Just wanted say I appreciate your video's. Like you I adore the beautiful game and it's nice to see all the clubs that you have visited. I am not really up to speed with Scottish Football but watching your videos has helped me learn about the clubs lower down.

Just came across your channel. Love the stadium tours and club facts.

Much Love and Thank You and Appreciate It. From South Africa 🇿🇦

This was a very good video!! As a Swede watching English fotball eversince the early 70s with a game on every Saturday afternoon I remember the days of Clough with great and very nice memories. I had planned to see Forest the year Covid struck so that was cancelled. But when I get over to ya next time, a will also pay Notts C a visit.

Also thankyou for mentioning to not only forests history but ours too, Sometimes we are overlooked By media outlets, But good to see an unbiased Media channel, well done mate!

Hey man, I just found your channel. Really appreciate of you making this video. Thank you so much

Love your passion, keep up the videos you're doing great.

Thanks again Sam for another excellent review I really appreciate your enthusiasm for the game and your sense of humour.I press the 👍before I watch your video in case I forget 😂

Nice to see a younger fan interested and updated on the history of clubs and grounds

Up the County! And Credit To Forest aswell, As A nottingham born and bred lad, and a county fan..both clubs wont consider eachother rivals, We Get along alot tbh, But Up the Nottingham🤝!

As a Newcastle United fan im happy to see forest back in the premier league they are a big club former European champions twice finally after 23 years they are back good to see them back

Top work, my man. Keep up the great work.

Love watching your channel as someone outside Europe

Good work! keep it up, very interesting observations you made! Love the Reds :)

As a nottingham man and a forest fan I love it when I see people exploring the history of the club

Great video mate! I’m a Forest fan but as a kid I had a season ticket at both teams as they always played at home on alternate weekends. Over the moon to have Forest back in the Prem but would love to see County back up the football league.

Loving this Keep up the great work COYG❤️❤️

Loving your videos Sam! Partick Thistle fan here 👍

Bravo sir. It is a masterpice. Your excellent morale compass is value added bit too.

Yeah, remember the Clough era well,from my teenage years, love to see county back in the league

Just for the record. Footy adventures was one thing that got me through covid. I say that as an NHS nurse. Again for the record the content was bang on.

Cracking stuff Garry, the channel has come a long way since it was just me and you and a few rounds of sandwiches.

Really enjoyed your video. I live in the Isle of Man now, but I'm originally from Nottingham & most of my family were County fans. They were pretty successful through the 70's when I used to frequent Meadow Lane as a youngster. Funnily enough, I was a Derby County schoolboy when they won the league under Clough, before he moved down the A52 to Forest. There used to be a competition called the County Cup & featured Forest, Notts & Mansfield - I remember seeing Notts beat Forest 3-0 in front of 20,000 fans. Shame they don't have that anymore!

Good video Sam, Notts county help juventus with the colour of their shirts and hopefully Notts county can go back to football league. I’m glad after the problem you had in that day earlier you went to them two clubs in Nottingham.

Love your videos..really interesting and factual..so easy to watch..just keep them coming please...toon army supporter Ged

Juventus flew Notts county out to play the first game in their new stadium when it was complete as a thank you for the kits back in the day

Great Video Mate I miss all what you showed ✌🏼🙏🏻

The way you consistently produce content like this is top rate. You deserve a million subscribers. Hope to see you there one day.

When I was little boy in short trousers (I'm now 79!) I lived 10 mins walk away from Notts ground. At half time, they used to open the gates so many was the time I watched the second half. At one time, Notts had both Tony Hateley and Jeff Astle in their forward line and whenever they scored fewer than four goals, we felt cheated! The rivalry between Notts and Forest was never that intense because, as you referred in your excellent video, they were always so far apart in Divisions. Forest are now looking forward to Premier League football again, while Notts still languish in non-league. Although I live in Norfolk now, I still return to Nottm to meet my old grammar schoolfriends. In summer we go to Trent Bridge to watch the cricket (usually a 20/20) but in winter it is usually Meadow Lane then ice-hockey in the evening. Cracking video, well done. Sorry you couldn't get into the grounds.

I started watching your channel a few days ago n i like what you're doing, keep up the good content! Just wondering if those charts you displayed are easy to find online and where? It got me wondering how other teams look on a chart. Cheers 🍻

Your content is awesome new subscriber, from Canada!!

Both would be a good FM challenge! Very insightful video 👍🏼

Garry Birtles was one of the best players of Cloughie's Nottingham Forest era, now not mentioned as much as other names. He was purchased from my hometown club called Long Eaton United for £2,000. Also, as a younger Forest fan and sports journalist I can confirm that Notts County isn't really considered much of a derby game these days. Still a great occasion. Playing Derby County is our main rivalry nowadays. Always had a soft spot for County too, my late grandfather was a fan.

Fantastic video very interesting thanks for making it 👍

great video on forest my club and yes inverness invited me round the other week on my ground visits around scotland

HES ONE OF OUR OWN HES ONE OF OUR OWWWWNNNN BRENNAN JOHNSON HES ONE OF OUR OWN. 🎶🎶🎶

Well more great amazing content great vid love them all kelty playing Montrose thought on that game😀

Legend 💯 cheers for the brill video

I like the Brian Clough stand . Pity poor old Brian was mostly to pissed to stand. But I loved him. He hated Thatcher also

This was a good video. I like both of the Nottingham club's to be fair. I remember doing a FIFA career mode with Notts County years ago, took them from League Two to the premier league.

Absolutely brilliant videos Sam! As a boy growing up in Tasmania, I followed Leeds while everyone else was Man U!! Over the years I followed other clubs including Nottingham Forest....what a beautiful location with Notts County a stones throw away! I look forward to seeing all your great videos....thank you!!

Cool and fairly balanced video...enjoyable and informative as always 👍👊👏

Amazing bro keep the good work up come to the morton vs kilmarnock game

Nottingham Forest main rivals are Derby

Great videos keep putting em up

Great videos !!! Massive respect from an Arsenal fan ,

Love ur vids man keep it up

18:51 I’ve been subscribed since the rangers to Celtic run great to see the channel grow from there Is ‘vlogmas’ happening this year

great video mate, as a forest fan i’ve never seen notts county as a rival it’s all been derby as the enemy

Love these videos.... Iam a chesterfield supporter and we've played Notts County many times... We had a great goalkeeper called Steve cherry who we got from Derby County... Notts County liked him and brought him from us.... Which left us without a 1st choice keeper so what did we do?.... Well we just took Mick Leonard from Notts County.... So we swapped keepers... And what a great servant ML was 👍

We really don't want any Saudi or Russian oil cash, thanks :) Forest and Notts have a good relationship. Just watched Forest U23s play at Meadow Lane, where we play quite a lot. We send them quite a few loan players as well. Harry Arter is there now. No animosity necessary, just a good working relationship.

Nottingham Forest also we’re the first team to wear shin pads, a referee used a whistle and the first match to have floodlights. A guy from Nottingham founded AC Milan and Arsenal wear red and white because Forest sent them a kit

Great video ❤️ keep going 🙌

Nottingham rugby currently play at lady bay. I know this is about football but it’s nice they give a home to the rugby team. Great video.

It's cool seeing this video, I'm a forest fan but during university I lived in the building opposite of that statue at meadows lane, in meadows close.

another brilliant video, i think you are star in making you got it big time

Great video mate. Did you manage to get over to Birmingham City whilst you were over at Villa?

Interesting footie factoid: The penalty kick was introduced as a result of an incident involving Notts County quite legally putting a wall of all 11 men on the goal line for a free kick.

Great vid! The water at the start is the remains of the Grantham Canal

From Turkish , I Love You Nottingham Forest 💓

Should visit Mansfield Town’s Field Mill (One Call Stadium) as it’s the oldest ground in the football league… been hosting football since 1861! Nottinghamshire is steeped with footballing history!

Liked the post, sorry to hear about the Villa jobsworths, been to City Ground once, watched Ipswich win 0:1 in the Premier league s first season 💙⚪✌

Great videos! Have you been to palace yet? New subscriber!

FOREST ARE BACK FOREST ARE BACK WOAHHHHH FOREST ARE BACK FOREST ARE BACK WOAHHHHH 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶

been waiting for this video! requested it a long time ago so happy to see you cover these two clubs and the close derby betweeen them two. amazing vid as always sam!

Great video mate

I have so much memories at medow Lane as a Notts County fan

I’ve watched West Ham play at both over the years. They are literally stone’s throw from each other.

Nice video. Away games at Meadow Lane are the only away games I’ve been to with Forest where the away fans outnumber the home fans.

brian clough should have been england manager

Nice to see my plaque shown in this video at the back of the Trent End!

absolutely fantastic being a Forest fan

Great video, COYP!

Nice video dude. Also just for the record as it is a pet peeve of many Nottingham Forest fan. They don't like being referred to as Notts Forest. This is mainly because Nottingham Forest were founded in the city boundaries at Forest recreation ground and tend to represent the city of Nottingham rather than the Nottinghamshire county which is short for Notts. But also Brian Clough always used to scold journalists and pundits for referring to his team as Notts Forest, "Young man when referring to this team you use the proper name which is Nottingham Forest" he'd tell them, so it kind of stuck. Many other teams fans say Notts Forest to forest fans just to wind them up. What's annoying is when the city ground was built it was in the city boundaries until the 60s when it got taken over by rushcliffe borough Council, meadow lane is still in the city boundaries even though the two grounds is so close. There is actually a soccer academy based in San diego California USA that is actually called Notts Forest so I always refer people to them when calling Nottingham Forest "Notts Forest". So basically if anyone is wondering why Nottingham Forest hate being referred to as Notts Forest that is why.

That was the Grantham Canal you were walking along at the beginning. It's currently under restoration.
