Well, this took me by surprise. Didn't think it could be done. Pictures look great.
More important than the MS will be the refurbishment elsewhere, if that includes better corporate facilities. Looks like there are some buildings in the corners etc
Very ambitious. A long way off yet too, and given how many times Broadmarsh has meant to be rebuilt over the last 20 years I'll not count chickens until building work starts
Very exciting news though and potentially massive for the club
Wow where did that news come from?! I didnt think we could expand due to blocking light from the surrounding houses. The atmosphere on Monday with an extra 8k people there would be amazing, not sure we would fill it that often without getting promotion though!
Really pleased to be staying Trentside. It's iconic and means something. Stadiums in the middle of housing estates moving - who cares? Being in the middle of one is no different to being in the middle of another. Relocating the City Ground would have been a real shame. Just, I'd hope they drop the "New" from the stadium name! It'll still be The City Ground.
They will have had extensive conversation with planning departments and probably have outline permissions in place, pending public consultations and amendments before submitting a full application. The investment that will have gone into this so far, the extended lease, etc would not have been entered into without assurances that planning just needs a rubber stamp.The statement from Marinakis says he wants to consult with supporters before making a formal planning application. Would it already be agreed in principle or could this be a problem?
It’s also nice that the design is by a local architect and a life long Forest Fan.
With all the work done at Trent Bridge, and the proposed rugby stadium at Ladybay, it’s good time on Trentside.
