Plans announced by Notts F*rest to redevelop the City Ground. I always thought they were restricted due to right for light by the neighbouring terraced houses. Gues I was wrong!

Just saw this. They've been trying to rebuild that old main stand for years (I hear they now call it the Peter Taylor stand - they like naming stands after rival teams' managers it seems - the one opposite is named after an old Derby manager!)

 

They must have found a way to resolve the issue of the light to the houses on Colwick Road (which led to the Bridgford Stand having the unusual roof). Ironically, I think, the club actually owns those houses - but they were not able to resolve the light issue when that was redeveloped.

 

Personally, I've always like the City Ground as a football ground, pre and post redevelopment.

Begrudgingly it’s a very well situated stadium and it’s going to look all the better after this redevelopment.

 

They won’t be having the largest stadium in the East Midlands tag for long though!

Yes, I also note they are building a museum - ideal for their achievements!

Do they fill that ship tip now? They will get 38000 for derby and that's about it. Will be half empty most the time

Average attendance last year was approx 27,500 so no unless they lower their prices (unlikely considering the cost of the development).

Or half full , if you're an optimist!

I mean, I despise them and they've done nothing of any real note since colour television – but I don't quite get the sarcasm here. They won the biggest prize in club football, twice. What's wrong with celebrating that?

We will know how they feel in 30 years time when we're still banging on about 2016l

Bielsa is a ****ing nutcase but he's gonna get Leeds promoted.

 

Klich is a very good player. Proper dirty bastard but he ties their team together.

Leeds in the Prem, could be quite good. I know by and large their fans are usually trouble to deal with but having them sat close and winding Liverpool and the Manchester clubs up could be fairly entertaining, Bielsa too. They looked really tidy in the first half

Surely Leeds and Norwich from here?

 

I know Sheff Utd are well in the mix but christ looking at that squad how on earth are they where they are.

 

Working just 2 minutes from Carrow Road obviously hope Norwich keep it going and have a soft spot after years here.

 

Used to love Birmingham as an away day so Norwich, Leeds, Birmingham would be decent.
