Little known fact, whilst Fword were sharing our ground in the early part of that 1968/69 season, both Notts and Fword reserves played at the City Ground, so as not to inflict too much wear on the Meadow Lane pitch.

In pre-Meadow Lane days, we did play over there fairly regularly when cricket took priority, recording wins over Arsenal, Liverpool, Newcastle and Everton.
First to win a Trentside derby at The City Ground was Notts, 3-0 in 1900 after the first ever clash there had ended 0-0 a year earlier. We were also first to win a derby match at Meadow Lane.
