Call me old fashioned or accuse me of living in the past I don't care.
Why do we need a ground the size of Man City, Man United, Arsenal, Tottenham and Liverpool?
Lets be honest we are never going to win the league.
'My desire is always to be here, oh City Ground'.
If we all took that approach though Sniff we'd all still be living in drafty victorian houses with a open chimney and wind coming in through the gaps in the windows. Things move on in life, buildings have to adapt for modern life.
IMO we need a 45/50k stadium. If that can't be achieved on the current site then we have to at least consider moving. We may not have needed this kind of capacity in the past and we may not need it in the future but here and now we need that kind of capacity to satisfy the demand for tickets. And there's the issue of further revenue generation from commercial uses. The CG is and probably always will be limited in what can be achieved in that regard. Like it or not, we have to accept that premier league football is about much more than your working class bloke having a couple of beers and a pie and buying a ticket for next to nowt.
You may be correct Pap and the logic most of us could reluctantly get on board with if explained the correct way that it’s impossible to develop the CG.
But please don’t give me this BS from the club about the lease costs being the reason we have to move. 10 weeks of Origi’s wages cover the lease for a year. Buying the freehold anywhere will be expensive. Some very suspicious motives in play. If its a negotiating ploy by Forest its a pretty dense one.
Yep, this is all about getting a message out there. After years and years of critisism of the club, for some reason Daniel Taylor is the chosen journalist to deliver the club's message. He must have some dirt on the owner or something. I don't take these stories literally.
My take was that this latest article was intended to let the owner of this training ground land on the A52 know that they're prepared to walk away unless the asking price is more realistic. If you own a bit of land and premier league football club come looking to buy you're asking top dollar, aren't you? I am.
