Forest New Ground
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about the former Cricket ground. For the proposed new Football ground, see New Nottingham Forest Stadium.
The Forest New Ground at Nottingham was a first-class cricket venue used by Nottingham Cricket Club in the late 18th and early 19th centuries.[1]
Forest New Ground incorporated the old Forest Racecourse[2] and in some sources the cricket venue is referred to as Forest Racecourse or else as "Forest Ground".
First recorded in 1771 for the Nottingham v Sheffield match, the Forest ground was used for cricket until 1979,[3] although it was superseded for first-class matches by Trent Bridge from 1840.
It is owned by Nottinghamshire City Council and is used for Football and the Annual Goose Fair.[4]
