Meadow Lane, seen from the City Ground. They are the most closely-spaced professional football grounds in England, although not the most closely-spaced in Britain because the two grounds in Dundee are within 200 metres of each other, on the same road. Meadow Lane is getting ready for tonight's match. In the original schedule of fixtures for this season, both teams were playing at home tomorrow. I assume the city authority or the police must have objected to that so the Notts County game was switched to tonight.

I've been looking forward to this next part of the trip. Within the next 24 hours, I will visit the homes of four clubs: Notts County, Mansfield Town, Chesterfield and Sheffield United. The cool thing is that I'm going to see all four of them play: Notts County against Mansfield Town tonight and Sheffield United against Chesterfield tomorrow.
