Town Ground in the Meadows was renamed City Ground in 1897 when the city status was granted. The City gave the club a lease for the new ground in the same year on land that the Town had owned since 1551, (and rented out to cover the maintenance of Trent Bridge), and the name moved to the new ground.
Both clubs shared both grounds until County moved across the river to Meadow Lane in 1910.
...like I said, bait.
Not at all. It didn’t start out with that intention.
The only way it could have been more is if you'd gone with the double r attempt as well.
Ha that would be blasphemy I guess!
You're already there.... that would have just compounded the excommunication.
Wasn't really a share County played at Trent Bridge and only played at the City ground early and late season as the cricket took priority. They got kicked off TB in 1908 and hence moved to the meadows in 1910. Somewhat ironic as we got kicked out of TB to accommodate County moving in.
