If people on here think that the next piece in the puzzle is a new ground, you have seriously lost the plot. A lot could be done on the existing site to make this a perfectly good home for many years to come. More pressing issues are those of getting the right squad and management team to get us into the premiership.

Once we have those in place then start worrying about the ground as we will have the income to support redevelopment. Its too easy spending other peoples money and shouting about what should be done!

Totally agree tykesabroad to many people on here still think we are one the clubs whom have a divine right to be a big club unfortunately not true anymore average championship team, until we get the club, ie players management both on and off the field a new ground is the last thing that the club needs, also people who are talking about new sites for our ground are the ones who talk about our history well may I remind these people our history was made at the CITY GROUND so why move take your rose to tinted glasses off and take a look in the real world😂.

Absolutely no point in having a big ground if the best we can manage is to put 20,000 in it.

This doesn't distract from that the main stand is the most dilapidated in the championship and badly needs upgrading, l sure most visitors see it and think what a dump, bad for corporate where lots of football money is now earned.

Replacing it was high on Moores list and should have been on Fawaz, s a long time ago, money makes money etc. Take a look around at our rivals who used to be behind us

The ground reflects where we are as a club 25 years behind the time! So presumably you are happy for us to wallow indefinitely in mediocrity?

3 of the 4 stands are not fit for purpose in providing adequate concourse space to maximise matchday revenue and you cannot upgrade the existing ground to provide a Premiership standard ground in the future without additional land to provide safe access to the stadium to meet current legislation.

By the time we get promoted their will be a minimum ground standard imposed to join the elite league and as usual Forest will not have a plan and missed the boat!

So pray tell us who is going to tip up £350m+ for a new ground as well as keep you all topped up with "stellar" every transfer window?

Unless your making the main stand bigger there's no point in improving it. i'm sure the residents have stopped its being upgraded in the past.

Disagree with you all. the council have forest over a barrel with the ground and on top of that, the place is a nightmare to maintain costing millions a year with no extra income from facilities such as the hotels; modern meeting rooms and offices. If the club wants to progress and compete they need a new ground.

As for the extension of the main stand. it can't be done there is a huge mains sewer pipe of some sort built below the car park, to move this and fill the space left behind will cost tens of millions, hence why they tried to turn the ground around. This could not happen due to daylight being an issue to other properties if any of the stands grow any bigger.

The ground is eventually going to be moved and I think people need to start getting their head round it.

Bsered

You do not have to have a bigger ground, if investment were to become available just improve on what is already in place.

Gotta say when i get to matches always try to get close to my old season tkt spot. I never cease to marvel at the first glimpse of the pitch as you walk along the corridor to D block. I hope the city ground is our home for years to come. Trent end was spoiled by the seating. It used to be the noisest terrace anywhere in the country. Now at kickoff all goes quite as people take their seats. Just saying.

None of this means that the main stand doesn't need replacing, it's so antiquated it's embarrassing, can't believe anyone likes it.
