YesI can pretty much guarantee that as soon as you try to force this issue 1 or more will dig their heels and make it impossible.
These are people's homes and they have value for people that is often beyond financial compensation. When you add the compulsion, it makes it more difficult.
LFC made the mistake of thinking you could just buy people out. And when they realised it wasn't possible they ghettoised the area. That made it even harder because the residents then had a moral reason to resist. While from the outside, that resistance looks irrational, it's actually strengthening the determination to stay. It took over 12 years to get that resolved.
I'd hate Forest to become a club that does that.
Get it done professionally. They could use the money we've donated from the away membership and bronze membership schemes.Anyone else just willing to volunteer to tidy the old girl up a bit.
Like they've done a good job with the necessary renovations for the Premierleague but there's chipped paint on the stands, cobwebs and all kinds of shit on the seats and such.
I'd go down and pick up a paintbrush if they gave me some credit or something.
The Trent End side nearest the Trent Bridge should have been painted at a minimum as that’s the iconic view that was everywhere. Should have been gleaming.It was disappointing to see the Brian Clough Stand sign across the front had been allowed to turn pink. I thought they would have tarted that up at least with it being so prominent, and let's face it, the name of our inconic manager. The whole place needs a good jet washing and painting. I wasn't impressed, there's a lot of TLC that could have been done which has been left again

Its not as if we dont have any money though, just pay people to get it done...........I dont get the problem.It's funny because imagine how many painters, window cleaners, power wash companies are Forest fans in the area that probably would do it for a discount, just to help the club they love.
Its basic man. People want to wash their hands ffs, maybe wipe their arse with actual toilet paper. Its digusting, the whole set up is so 1980s its untrue.Oh - no water in the handwash upper Trent half time
As a season ticket holder of many years before I emigrated, I have been saying this for years.It literally make no sense not to clean it up a bit, non whatsoever. Its a real shame that this has slipped the net yet again.
Also the catering, im f***ing sick to death of how shambolic it is. Yesterday they ran out of water before HT. I mean, its water ffs. Buy 10k bottles of the stuff. Its as if they guess how many they will sell for each game..........Who the actual f*** is running it? Its the same in winter, running out of hot chocolate before kick off etc. Its not good enough. The fanzone was closed because they couldnt keep beer cold???? Its right up there with them not having any hot food a couple of seasons back because they forgot to put the oven on.
Its appaling, Ive travelled away for years with Forest and most Championship teams make a far better fist of basic shit. The staff are rude, dont know how to pour a pint, cant find anything, slow and not interested.
Get a proper catering structure in place and pay people properly, these kids they keep shoving in on minimum wage are just not up to the basics, its embarassing. Is the catering outsourced to someone?
Needs changing ASAP, sick of it now.
The club have clearly attempted to improve certain aspects, in a PR sense we are light years away from where we were 5 years ago, but still a way to go.As a season ticket holder of many years before I emigrated, I have been saying this for years.
It is inexcusable, and a damning sign that Forest simply don‘t care about the matchday supporter.
And don‘t get me started on the standard of coffee at the City Ground.
Im honestly not a moaner, I'll drink beer any which way it comes and never expect gourmet food, heaven forbid. Its just been grating on me for a long time and Ive had enough. To go into a new season and end up with the same abysmal catering has annoyed me.To be fair, of all the things to have a moan about, that’s not too bad in the grand scheme of things
Try Harry Arter, he's got f*** all else to doThing is, I dont think people would mind paying if they felt it was value. They now do a sausage roll that is absulutely amazing, but as youd expect, its more expensive than the shit theyve served up for 3 decades.
Its as if the catering is totally detached from the club. Whoever is running it clearly has a massive staff turnover because they pay shit wages, they are generally pretty useless too, have zero customer service skills and youre lucky if they can find a bottle of coke.
The club needs to take it in house and employ a team of people to orchastrate the most basic of things. You could literally come up with improvements if you had a post it note and a broken pencil.
To say its representative of the club and the ground I'm amazed its not been looked it before now, let alone in the close season. Its 2022 ffs.
Im that mad, Im going to write to someone about it, f*** it.
Who at the club would deal with it do you guys think?

Nobody is expecting perfection and I understand the reasons behind why its so poor but cmon, you can NEVER run out of water before HT, or forget to put an oven on, Weve just been given 180m ffs, spend 0.01% of it on making it a bit easier on families with kids. Put some toilet roll in the toilets, some hand cleaner........basic basic shit.
Or upper bridgfordOh - no water in the handwash upper Trent half time
I'm sure we discussed this years ago as I can recall suggestions being made to use local suppliers for food and drink. I think also mentioned was the club utilising the facilities before the game to encourage people to come along and spend at the ground. With correct pricing and decent products on offer this should be easily implemented. Although I suppose if they can't get any beer in the fan zone we might be asking a bit too much.Thing is, I dont think people would mind paying if they felt it was value. They now do a sausage roll that is absulutely amazing, but as youd expect, its more expensive than the shit theyve served up for 3 decades.
