Nottingham Forest Football Club is an English professional football club based at The City Ground in West Bridgford a suburb of Nottingham, England. The club is currently in League One of the Coca-Cola Football League and has an illustrious history which encompasses winning two consecutive European Cups, along with the domestic title, two FA Cups and four League Cups.
Nottingham Forest takes its name from the Forest Recreation Ground just north of the city centre which is where the team first played and is now the site of the annual Nottingham Goose Fair. The club is often referred to simply as Forest (not to be confused with the entirely unrelated older amateur side, Forest F.C., which is better known as The Wanderers F.C.), the name the club carries on its badge.
Notts is the correct abbreviation of Nottinghamshire (hence Notts County), but not of Nottingham itself. Therefore Forest fans dislike the club being referred to as Notts Forest. The appropriate abbreviation of Nottingham Forest is Nott'm Forest.
Relegation to English football's third tier made Forest the first European Cup-winning club ever to fall into its country's third division. Many of today's footballing rules and features, including floodlighting, shinpads, and even lettering on the stands have been pioneered by Forest
