Football in Nottingham


Saturday we took the train to Nottingham to see our first professional football match. Nottingham County, also known as the Magpies, defeated the Aldershot, 2-1. Nottingham scored both their goals on headers in the second half. We sat behind the net and had great views of both scores. The Magpies play in the lowest of England's 5 professional leagues. While they aren't a top England team, they have the distinction of being the oldest professional club in the world - Nottingham County has been playing pro football since 1862.
