The Infrastructure Projects

[Derby My Arse]

Just back - a little underwhelmed if I’m honest ( but that comes with ‘over promising’ ).
Not much to add to Widdow’s summation other than:
- redevelopment confined to PT stand at this stage ( disappointed - BC stand as an example in need of urgent work to allow smooth entry/exit/movement & ability to eat/drink. Attract fans early. Retain post match. Enjoy profits currently drained by local hostelries ).
- boat clubs virtually unaffected ( only 1 building out of 4 to be demolished? )
- 2 x residential blocks are part of the development.
- healthy discussion took place whilst I was there re in-house catering & bars ( learn from Spurs initiative where for 5 hours pre/during/post game the ground is pretty full with fans eating & drinking at reasonable prices - can/will Forest learn from this & adopt at least some of it ).

BC stand will have to have cheaper tickets (than new PT) otherwise it will be empty.

It wouldn't be too hard to have a setup where some fans can get a pre/post match pint (and food). Just look how busy all the surrounding bars are and how popular the carpark bar (family zone) behind BC has been.

I am sure the club know what they are doing, it won't be empty. If we are in the PL it will be full, if not it will still be very well populated. The away fans may even move there yet. Still early days lets see what happens.
