The Bulls will be looking to bounce back from the disappointing defeat at Grimsby when they visit Meadow Lane Nottingham on Tuesday evening for the League 2 match against The Pies. The ground was completely rebuilt in the early 1990's and is now one of the better stadiums at this level offering around 20000 capacity as an all seater. The visitor's accommodation is provided in the 5400 seat Kop End which has good catering facilities and offers an excellent view of the game.
Admission - Adults: £16, Conc: £10, U16's: £5 (Conc and Youth tickets must be purchased from the ticket office NOT at the turnstiles - proof of age required.)
For those travelling by road, the trip is fairly straightforward so long as you enter Nottingham from the south (For Sat/Nav users, the postcode is NG2 3HJ). From Hereford go to Worcester and join the M5 north to Junction 4A where you join the M42. Follow the M42 to the end and onto the A42. As you approach the M1, branch left and merge onto the A453 (sign East Mid Airport/Notts South/ Derby). At both roundabouts, take the third exit onto the A453 (sign Nottingham). Continue to Clifton roundabout and take the 2nd exit (sign Notts) then keep in the left lane and branch left to a roundabout where you take the 1st exit onto the B679 (sign Grantham, Melton, Newark) entering Nottingham. At West Bridgeford, turn left into Loughborough Road A60 (sign Notts). Follow City Centre signs onto London Road and at the traffic signals turn right onto Cattle Market Road A6011 (sign Southwell, Colwick). Turn right into Meadow Lane.There is parking in the Cattle Market £2 or in the football clubs car park opposite their offices in Meadow Lane £2.50. Otherwise, there may be some Street parking. Distance about 110 miles allow just over 2 hours.

REFRESHMENTS. There are a number of Pubs and eating houses close to the ground with The Globe in London Road and The Southbank just over the Trent Bridge both offering a decent choice of Ale and good food. For real ale fans, the Vat and Fiddle in Queensbridge Road looks a good bet with up to 10 ales on and a Micro brewery next door! Finally, for those who prefer their waitresses to be not "overdressed", a visit to Hooters could be the answer. I understand the fried eggs are well thought of in the area.Rule Bulltania
