It has been mentioned in the Daily Mail too this morning
I am by no means complaining but this is a bit baffling to me - why the City Ground? Not only do England never go on the road anymore, I love the old dog but there are so many more suitable stadiums

Nottingham's dirty secret
I thought it a bit strange as well to be fair.
But they played a Uefa League game at Molineaux a few years back & a friendly at the Riverside in 2021 so they probably like to spread the love.

Perhaps Tuchel is trying to spread the games around. Germany do it all the time, I think.

Could be that there's some work going on at Wembly after the season has ended.
Tickets for England fixtures go to their members, so getting a ticket if it happens, may not be as straightforward as you think.

Probably trying to find somewhere with an atmosphere
They do indeed VP, Die Nationalelf played recently in Stuttgart, as they rotate their matches around several German grounds.

It would give all other fans the opportunity to experience the divine pleasure of singing along with "Mist rolling in..."
Maybe they could actually get Macca to lead it this time being an England game?

Wembley has a ridiculously busy concert schedule this summer, so is pretty close to their event limit and can understand not holding the match there.
No idea why they'd come here when there's stadiums twice the capacity that could easily sell out though.

England typically play matches away from Wembley once or twice per season. Last year there was a match in Newcastle, the previous year one at Old Trafford, the year before that a couple at Molineux, etc.
They also once in a while like to play somewhere that hasn't hosted a match for a long time, if they are going to play in Nottingham I guess someone just thought it was our turn?

Jack Burkitt
I doubt it will be anything to do with him, he won't be making these kind of decisions.

If this does go ahead the vast majority of people there won't be Forest fans, so I somehow doubt they'll want to sing our anthem...

I genuinely forgot I went to the one at St James’. Mind you, it was the most boring game in history and the only fun bit was watching the Bosnian fans having a great time.

Confirmed in the athletic. Pretty mental but should be great. Give more fans the chance to get a pizza dog.

I’m hoping the Club have another concert weekend .
Last summer I was able to please the Mrs with tickets to see Take That.
A long weekend with a full bill of bands and individual artists would be something, wouldn’t it?
I have written a festival song for the event:
“We’re going down the City Ground
To see a rock and roll band
Gonna camp out by the Trent
We’re gonna set our souls free”

I posted in another thread that I saw on SSN that this will be the first England game at the CG since 1909.
I beginning to wonder if I read that right and if it's correct.

I'm sure that I read, that England played Wales in a friendly in either 1941 or 1943??

I never really thought about this due to Euro '96.
This led me down a Euro '96 at the City Ground rabbit hole and came across this article:
Euro '96's forgotten city
Jon Rea explains why the fun of Euro '96 never quite made it to Nottingham The disappointing support from local fans is only partly helpful in explain
I don't remember Nottingham being as blasé as that? I thought the city had a great atmosphere around those games and getting tickets was difficult. Oh well, hopefully against Senegal we can show England what a proper atmosphere is like when MGW walks out with the Captain's arm band.
(But if MGW isn't playing....
)

I saw something on Sky Sports earlier that City Ground has not hosted an international game in 84 years, but they must mean England.
Because at Euro 1996, City Ground hosted international games....

We had 3 games out of Group D and the highest attendance was 22600 for Turkey v Portugal.
Many of the group games had poor attendances though.
