Nottingham Forest Football Club play at the City Ground and are currently in the English Premier League.
We all know the old adage about things happening in threes for better or (more usually) for worse.

My mum could have earned…
At the end of this season, Felipe is to call it time on an illustrious career in football, ending it with Nottingham Forest.
