The place had had a bit of TLC applied to it over the years but there is no doubt it could use a little more. It took me 10 minutes to move about 25 yards at half time on Wednesday night, and that was in a crowd of people queuing for beer and Bovril. Heaven forbid, but were there to be a fire and you'd never get out. Everything is too narrow for the sheer volume of people.
Whilst I fully understand the clubs decision, I shall be a bit sad to see the Main Stand go through its gentrification process, as I like it just as it is.īehind the seating, in the concourses, every stand is pretty much the same.
#Things to do in nottingham uk upgrade#
Whilst the money raised during the legendary Brian Clough era was used to upgrade the other three stands in the ground, the Main Stand remains a bit of a relic of times gone by. The Main Stand/Peter Taylor Stand does very much stand out like a sore thumb. Instead, Forest are planning on extending the Main Stand (or Peter Taylor Stand as it is now known) to enable higher attendance.
You know Forest have more fans than are presently able to attend matches due to the health and safety clip board brigade. We must be grateful that Forest, newly returned to the Premier League don't forget, have not gone chasing the money by building a new, bigger stadium that would almost certainly lack all of the character and passion of the City Ground. I've seen approximately 70,000 managers and 250,000 players, however they have all plied their trade in this hallowed cathedral of football. I've been following Nottingham Forest for over 30 years and in that time the one constant has been The City Ground.
