Trent Bridge’s family-friendly football fanzone, Trent Bridge Way, will return for the opening weeks of Nottingham Forest’s Premier League and Carabao Cup campaign.

After a successful launch last winter, the venue’s Bridgford Road Stand concourse will again be open to Forest supporters before home fixtures, beginning with the visit of Leeds United on Saturday 22 August.

Supporters will be able to purchase a range of drinks from the Bridgford Road Bar – with 25% discounts on draught beers, wines, soft drinks and hot drinks for any supporters who secure a free Red Card. Street food will also be available to buy, with live sport streamed on the venue’s concourse TVs. Secure a Red Card here...

The covered concourse will provide shade from the sun, or protection from the rain should the conditions be inclement.

Entry to the fanzones is free of charge, with all home fans welcome and no tickets required.

Details for future fanzones will be confirmed in the coming weeks.

“We’re lucky to be in an area where so many great sporting venues are so close to each other,” said Head of Commercial Sales, Joe Sharphouse.

“There was a really nice buzz at our fanzones last season, and I know Forest supporters enjoyed the convenience of being able to enjoy a pre-match drink alongside their fellow fans with minimal queues, a stone’s throw from the ground.

“We’re sure there will be some big crowds heading to the City Ground again in the coming weeks, and we’re looking forward to throwing our gates open to the Forest faithful.”
