Oh City Ground / Mull of Kintyre | Nottingham Forest Football Fans England City Ground Stadium chant [lyrics video]

The song has been a Forest anthem ever since the glory days when the Reds were champions of Europe. Made famous by Paul McCartney and Wings, the song was released in late 1977 before being adopted by the Forest faithful during the season they won the First Division in 1978.
Reds supporters changed the lyrics as the mist often rolled in from the Trent, and included a range of words about their travels up and down the country. Having been released that season, it became the Forest chorus and has stuck ever since.

"City Ground
Oh mist rolling in from the Trent
My desire is always to be here
Oh City Ground

Far have I travelled and much have I seen
Goodison, Anfield are places I've been
Maine Road, Old Trafford still echo to the sound
Of the boys in the red from the City Ground

City Ground
Oh mist rolling in from the Trent
My desire is always to be here
Oh City Ground

Passing the leather like Clougie's great men
Please take us back to the days I knew then
Games when we sang in the Nottingham choir
When we thrashed the sheep from Derbyshire

City Ground
Oh mist rolling in from the Trent
My desire is always to be here
Oh City Ground

Smiles in the sunshine, Football like champagne
Still take me back to where my memories remain
Flickering embers growing higher and higher
And a new squad of players for us to inspire

City Ground
Oh mist rolling in from the Trent
My desire is always to be here
Oh City Ground"

Nottingham Forest is a professional football club based in Nottingham, England. The club was founded in 1865 and is one of the oldest football clubs in England. Nottingham Forest has a rich history and has achieved significant success in the past. Nottingham Forest's early successes came in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. However, the club is best known for its remarkable achievements in the late 1970s and early 1980s under the management of Brian Clough. During this period, the club won two consecutive European Cups (now known as the UEFA Champions League) in 1979 and 1980, becoming the first club to achieve this feat.
The club plays its home matches at the City Ground, which is located on the banks of the River Trent in Nottingham. The stadium has a capacity of around 30,445 spectators.
In addition to their European Cup victories, Nottingham Forest has also won the English First Division (now known as the Premier League) title once, in 1978. They have won the FA Cup twice and the Football League Cup four times.
Nottingham Forest has fierce rivalries with nearby clubs, including Derby County and Notts County. Matches between these teams are often referred to as East Midlands derbies and are highly anticipated by fans.
"Mull of Kintyre" is a popular song by the British rock band Wings, which was led by Paul McCartney. The song was written by Paul McCartney and Denny Laine, and it was released as a single in 1977. It quickly became one of the biggest-selling singles in the United Kingdom and remains a well-loved classic.

The song is named after the Mull of Kintyre, which is a scenic area located at the southern tip of the Kintyre Peninsula in Scotland. The lyrics of the song celebrate the natural beauty of the region and express a sense of longing and nostalgia for a peaceful and idyllic life there.

"Mull of Kintyre" features a distinctive Scottish sound, with bagpipes playing a prominent role in the arrangement. It was performed by Wings along with the Campbeltown Pipe Band, giving it an authentic Scottish feel.
