I walk over Trent Bridge every game then up through the Meadows into town, and agree that the current situation isn't great.
People cross the bridge to do the same plus, queue at bus stops to go to town, walk to train station for train/trams, go to cars parked in meadows area etc.
However, it's still better than a lot of other Premier league grounds I've been to.
I'm surprised that the council haven't tried to get us (well Mr Marinakis) to pay for a tram extension along the embankment, and a new bridge over Trent to the council offices!!!
From the wannabe designers I’ve seen on X the suggestion is a new bridge could go from the Trent End over towards the current area on the Meadows side owned by the Homes Agency. Think it’s used for County’s matchday parking at the moment. If feasible it’s not actually a bad idea as fans could use that route to get to the Meadow Land, Cattle Market etc parking. There was mention of extending the park and ride service so perhaps the park and ride buses and others could be routed to drop off/pick up outside Meadow Lane avoiding Trent Bridge altogether. It really only needs some joined up thinking/collaboration by all parties but then thats probably asking too much.
