it’s something that I’ve been wondering too. 

I think that next season we’ll be moving to Pinnacle Place or whatever it’s called now. 

I think the risk is that what is a really condensed group of like minded people will probably get spread too thinly plus you’ll also get people wanting to relocate from other areas because it’s shiny and new but not interested in maintaining the same levels of atmosphere.

The A Block boys will not like it in Pinnacle Place - It is heavily stewarded due to the close proximity of the Away supporters.

And there is strictly no standing while the game is on; stand up and you are out - simples

Buckingham have been appointed as construction contractors. They've previously worked on the Aviva Stadium in Dublin and the Amex in Brighton.

So we will have our own Buckingham palace.

I have to say. I never got the whole standing up thing. At football matches or rock concerts.

I like sitting down. If I pay best part of £30 for a football match. I'm sitting down.


Sure. If we score, I'm standing up and going mental.

They're currently building Fulham's new stand and Brentford's stadium, so no mugs.

Brighton got themselves a nice stadium after years of being homeless..?

Fair play to them, they made their own luck.

Forest are overdue to make some luck for our own infrastructure.

And I like the architect's intentions to maintain the current design and character of the City Ground but 'more so' to modern standards and fresh, modern design and pushing capacity for our eventual return to the Premier.

Are they?  Interesting.

When even teams like Brentford are getting a new stadium we count our blessed stars we have Marin' as our boss who recognises the urgency to get promoted, to improve so we don't get over taken my more 'Brentfords' like we have Burnely, Bournemouth, Sheff U, Norwich, WBA, Wolves, Brighton, Southampton etc.

Getting promoted to the Premier.  It will be a day long remembered.  Can't wait.

I like standing up. If I pay £80 to see The Stone Roses. I'm standing up and going nuts in The Mosh Pit. 

Similarly, I never sat down at Forest games until terraces disappeared. Stand with your mates, no fannying around to get tickets together, just enter the ground at the same time can stand where you want.

Different perspectives I guess, but I really miss the terraces, way more fun than now-cheaper too.

I can see where you are coming from Zico. I used to be the same.

The problem for me now though is I struggle to stand through an whole game now due to arthritis in my back, knees and hips. However, if i sit, my knees lock up due to the limited leg room, so I'm kinda f****d if i do and f****d if i dont. 

I do prefer to stand and if it gets too much for the old bones, then I will park my arse for a moment when the action is in midfield, just for some relief before standing up again. I feel really bad for fellow supporters trying to get past me though on their way to or from their seat, especially if i am having a sit down, as it can take an age for me to get up! So if you are one of these fans, please accept my apologies  :-/

The issue for me is - my grandsons. We have seats in the BC Upper & so no issue with the view at home games.
But away games are a nightmare - they just cannot see the game. And some fellow ( so called ) fans are a bloody nightmare.

Old away days was always a terrace, i guess could just weave down to the front. Must be a problem at all grounds.
