Nottingham Forest Banter

The cost of Everton’s new build has risen from £500m to £800m, they are looking for investment for the£300 m extra needed.
These figures just make moving another crazy decision from theForest Board, they don’t even want to pay an £750, 000:a year in rent.
Season cards would cost tons more and if relegation calls a ground at Toton would be half empty and the atmosphere Silz.
Time for of owner to grow up and start being realistic.
All pie in the sky.
CARLO.

There's a reason though carlo
Brexit and covid put the cost of building materials up massively
If marinakis wants to build a new stadium or revamp the city ground then that's a good thing surely?
After all its his money
Everton have many more problems than just the stadium, Russia going to war hasn't helped them either and an owner that wants out.

Your right but as has been mentioned he's a business man that's what unfortunately football is today business and money. If the idea makes an extra 20 30 million plus a season, then more sponsors, promoters ect, ect the extra money stacks up as a long term investment.
Look at Aresnal I bet the fans were livid at the time on the move from Highbury. But now all settled, atmosphere different but getting there plus a new generation of fans
Still think 50, 000 is a lot of fans, I would say teams like us, Fester and the shaggers could fill 40, 000 if in the prem. Still there's no place like home and the City Ground is that.

16 May 2024 14:46:42
Teams like Chelsea, west ham, Newcastle are averaging 10 to 15 thousand supporters extra every home game. If we are trying to compete in the Premier, we will have to inprove the attendance.
If we move why not a ground share with county, up there stadium to Premier standard, it's a win, win for them. And just down from the City Ground is a piece of land with a car wash place on it, going for auction on Friday for about two million, land does not come cheep, so building in West Bridge ford area I can't see happening.

Terrible, non-dual carriageway roads in the Toton area, flooding on roads which are badly in need of repair, congestion every day around Beeston and the university, lots of speed cameras, traffic lights and appalling drivers. And as you say difficult access for people on the East of the city - Nottingham centre will come to a standstill without infrastructure development. A nightmare.

97% of season card renewals great.
But how many season cards are there?

16 May 2024 13:48:08
Apparently as of yesterday morning only a thousand hadn’t renewed, with tonight the Final Cut off,

15 May 2024 18:50:39
If Toton goes ahead half of us on here will be dead before it’s ready 😇😇😶‍🌫️😶‍🌫️

Age is just number carlo
The main thing is to be as healthy as possible and forward thinking.

15 May 2024 14:09:19
Should we stay or should we go?
If we stay, there could be trouble.
If we go it could be double?
Option 1. Council sells land to Maranakis, CG is developed, we stay.
Option 2. New purpose built stadium, training ground and facilities.
Can we have a poll please Ed's?
Stay at City Ground or Elsewhere?

City Ground or Elsewhere poll

15 May 2024 15:02:08
Can’t really vote on the above, as we would need to know what and where we are moving to, and what the city ground development would actually entail,

15 May 2024 15:17:37
We will definitely be in toton, mr m can see a blank canvas to make a lot of money there. You only have to look around the area and see that there is little or no facilities for the supporters, he has the room to put in place bar’s cafes anything that will bring in money. He can’t do that where we are now, he’s seen how much money we supporters spend around the ground. Toton gives him the opportunity to take that money for himself. He didn’t put the new fan zone in for love, it was put in to test the water. You don’t become a billionaire without taking a chance.

Geographically Toton is awful. It's virtually in Derbyshire. An absolute nightmare to get to unless you are using the M1.
Anyone travelling from East of Nottingham would be really peed off.

15 May 2024 16:46:36
Not sure where exactly they talking about in toton you've got the school n behind that are couple of fields and a rubbish farm but then you have toton sidings a main through route for trains.

Plus toton full of plastic snobs who will oppose it big time on their doorstep.

Cameron island, near Tollerton airport, that is the best place.

16 May 2024 07:47:48
Gamston, not Cameron. Stupid predictive text.

{Ed's Note - iwillbered has posted a new article entitled, Liverpool FC Players Overview

14 May 2024 17:57:06
The key position we need to fill for next season is GK a top class keeper would have saved Mudrics 1st goal for Chelsea and stayed on his line and saved Jackson's 3rd goal

Sels is average at best and Turner is worse we think nothing of spending 25/ 30 m on a midfielder but skimp on the player who Cloughie used to say can save you 20pts a season

A world class keeper inspires his CBs and we would be so much better at set pieces like Shilton Burns and Lloyd

Sam Johnstone for me 20m.

14 May 2024 21:12:07
I agree - sels best of a terrible bunch.

14 May 2024 21:42:31
Been our biggest problem since samba and navaa were gone.

14 May 2024 22:08:07
I didn’t think any of the goals Chelsea scored were Sels fault my friends and he saved a one on one. Obviously we could do with a good number 2 gk to keep him in his toes. Definately get rid of Turner and Vlach.

14 May 2024 22:32:49
I actually think he is a good keeper let down, too many times, by an awful defence.

15 May 2024 12:37:09
Munmad, don’t think sels could do much about the 1st goal Montiel was at fault for me, And the 3rd, toffollo went awol leaving us wide open, but I’m not totally convinced by the keeper,

15 May 2024 14:06:04
I think sels has been solid. He's come in at a horrible time with a lot of scrutiny and held his own making some amazing saves. Only really been responsible for a couple of errors. Again, get rid of vlac and turner and sign some decent competition. Need another CB, and striker. I know the noise here hates on Sangare but I'd like to see what he can do. Surely not worth getting rid at a loss after half a year. Could come good?
