Not to be confused with The Meadow, home of Southern Football League Premier Division football team Chesham United

The Meadow Lane Stadium (usually known simply as Meadow Lane) is a football stadium in Nottingham, England. It is the home ground of Notts County, who have played there since 1910. The stadium has also been home to Nottingham R.F.C. since 2006.

It currently has an all-seated capacity of 20,229.

Meadow Lane lies just three hundred yards (275 metres) away from the City Ground, home of Nottingham Forest. The two grounds are the closest in England and the second closest in the United Kingdom after the grounds of Dundee and Dundee United. The Trent End of the City Ground is visible from parts of the Jimmy Sirrel stand and the Spion Kop.

The stadium also hosts the men's and women's football and rugby events in the Varsity Series) – a sporting series contested by Nottingham Trent University and the University of Nottingham.

Prior to 1910, Notts County played their home games across the River Trent at Trent Bridge as a tenant of Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club. Cricket took priority on the ground and the football club were often forced to play early and late season games at other venues as their fixtures would often clash with the fixtures of the cricket club.

Shaun Peter Derry (born 6 December 1977 in Nottingham) is an English footballer who plays for Queens Park Rangers. Derry is known for his hard-tackling and aggressive midfield style. He is primarily a defensive midfielder but can also play at right-back.

Derry started his career at Notts County as a trainee^{[citation needed]} before being bought by Sheffield United in 1998 for a fee of £700,000.^{[citation needed]} He scored once during his spell at Sheffield United, his goal coming in the FA Cup against Rushden & Diamonds.

Derry was sold to Portsmouth in 2000 for £300,000. He was a regular in the side under both Tony Pulis and Steve Claridge before being made captain by Graham Rix. After Rix's departure, Derry was amongst the many players deemed surplus to requirements by new manager Harry Redknapp in summer 2002 rebuilding and was sold to Crystal Palace for £400,001. He scored only once during his spell at Portsmouth, his goal coming in a crucial win over against West Bromwich Albion.

Derry helped Crystal Palace in their return to the Premier League in 2004, making 44 appearances including an appearance in the play-off final. It was his corner that led to Darren Powell scoring a 90th minute header to send the Eagles to extra-time in the semi-final, which they would win on penalties. He struggled to get into the team during the 2004–05 season and, after a loan spell at Nottingham Forest, Leeds signed him for an undisclosed amount in February 2005.
