The Infrastructure Projects

What do people who know the area think of that?
As long as it's next to the river I think I'd be happy... not that I get to go very often.

The road infrastructure in that part of the County is dreadful. 

The Long Eaton -> Beeston -> Nottingham road cannot cope as it is. 

Junction 25 tends to struggle during rush hour, particularly if there is an accident on the M1 between 21 and 27.

Not sure what's happening with the new corner boxes but looks like the floodlight is going back up in the Main Stand/Trend End corner

Have they decided to not go ahead with it now?

Interesting article by Daniel Taylor about the ground development.

Well considering how the council are trying to shaft the club i think it is now changing from last resort to the only sensible option if we want to grow.

So lets say we did move from the Trent does that mean we need a new club badge?

Also i do question Dan's timing of this story. Why try to alienate the fans further with two games to go by releasing this story now. Seems like he wants to damage our connection to the club further before our last home match.

As much as it pains me I think it's time to move. The only way that funds can be generated is a multi-purpose stadium 19 home games does not generate enough money to sustain the ambitions of the owners and fans.

Indeed…

We all love the City Ground but if a move means the chance of European glory in the future, better access infrastructure, better facilities and dare I say it- actually being able to get a ticket to watch a game- then it’s a no brainer.

Man City fans seem to have overcome their romantic notions about Maine Road.
Locally there’s no Filbert street or baseball ground anymore.

And before you know it, most fans won’t even remember the CG, icon or not. It’s progress and it’s necessary.

Totally agree. We have to move with the times. We need a stadium that makes money 365 days a year in the modern game. We haven't got that. 

Just get the design right. Spurs new stadium is incredible so it can be done.
