RE: The Infrastructure Projects - Sniffer Dog (Admin) - 06-03-2024
I could expose a city councilor on here if I wanted to which would put him behind bars.
They should be careful what they wish for.

I for one would love to upgrade City Ground and stay where we've been for many years but that's going with me heart but I fear we really will need to move to get the best possible revenue we can get which is going with my head.
Agree. Think we would all love to stay at the City Ground but the Council aren’t making that easy. Perhaps finding an alternate site and building a new stadium with improved training facilities is the way forward and whilst that happens, we continue to play at the City Ground so that we can at least maintain current capacity levels. Similar I guess to Everton, Man City etc have done in the past. It would be a sad day to move from the City Ground but done right and with our fans, any new stadium could see the club move forward in a positive way.
The location would be the key thing for me. I've no doubt any decent architects and constructors could design and build a fantastic stadium but where would it go? Where the City Ground is now is perfect in so many ways. Walkable from town, decent transport links and the backdrop of the river. Apart from where County Hall is on the other side of Trent Bridge I can't think of anywhere else that'd be as good. It'd be a massive shame if it were somewhere several miles out of the city centre.
RE: The Infrastructure Projects - Sniffer Dog (Admin) - 06-03-2024
I agree with you SR.
City Ground or County Hall.
Nowhere else interests me at all.
RE: The Infrastructure Projects - Sausage Roll - 06-03-2024
I just can't think of anywhere else. The Island Quarter might have worked but that's all under development now.
RE: The Infrastructure Projects - Portchester Tricky - 06-03-2024
As the Council has decided to relocate from County Hall, surely a deal could be agreed to purchase, and build a new stadium there. Its more or less in the same location as the WFCG.
RE: The Infrastructure Projects - Paplane - 06-03-2024
The County Hall site not big enough to accommodate a 50k football stadium imo. A huge amount of land is required, hence they often end up located on out of town brownfield sites.

When did we last have a rent review?

Yep, its just not a big enough site surely

I have no idea. But unless it was about 50 years ago, which I doubt, then requesting quadruple the current amount feels a bit on the steep side to me.

When we negotiated a 250 year lease but some how didn't get signed off??

still waiting for an explanation from Randall, the club or the Council on that one.

County hall not big enough footprint.
