Ive thought this for a long time Uwantlee
Reasons for staying put. Sentiment of 120 years and, well, it looks very pretty and you can take a lovely selfie as you walk over the Trent.
Meanwhile on Planet Realism, It is badly outdated all 4 stands need updating, in the wrong place and provides next to zero commercial revenue.
Build a new purpose built stadium near the City centre, modern facilities, better transport links, conferencing, hotel and other commercial additions and you have a self sustaining home for decades to come.
All very well if you can find a site to build it on, we missed opportunities when old factory and industrial estates have been cleared. However location is everything. The very worst option would be a soulless bowl in Gamston miles from nowhere which was mooted for the 2006 world cup. Thank heavens that never happened.
Im assuming the rumour is nonsense so happy to stay at the WFCG but the thought does occur that if flats cant be built then there arent funds to improve the ground.
