No onions option. Times are changing round here.

Geoff Hurst.

Undecided.

 

[TheDude]

jump ship and go watch county

 

[Spring Heeled Jack]

Stay at the ****in' City Ground! There's naff all wrong with the place (except a dodgy Main Stand.)

Still, our wonderous Chairman, Mr Success, is determined to move the club, so he and his crooked little friend Councillor Collins can build luxury flats or some shit.

 

[Cooky]

We should stop making fifteen threads for everything!

Stay ! I do not want to see Forest playing in a soulless car park like pride less park or the crisp bowl.

A ground is what the fans make of it.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with Pride Park or the Walkers Stadium's design but, obviously, they compare very badly with the Baseball Ground and Filbert Street for atmosphere. The major problem when a club gets a new ground is that there is never a 'designated' home end, such as the Trent End, Pop Side, Kop etc. As a consequence of this the vocal support gets spread thinly around the ground and the atmosphere suffers.

The City Ground facilities are basic, bordering on primitive, the access and egress is diabolical and, whilst I agree that it looks good on the banks of the Trent, that very feature in itself limits the possibility of improvement.

After supporting the Club for 42 years I, for one, will not bemoan the demise of the City Ground and hope that we proceed with all haste.

Got to disagree, to an extent, for once. The grounds you mention may be OK (although I think not) How many out of town gropunds do we go to with no "old time" facilities. McD, KFC, Starbucks nowhere to park except where you are sent (£8 or park and ride at Reading)
I want the City Ground to be re-vamped so I can park where I like, if I choose, come on the tram, if I choose, walk from the station, if I choose, and have a choice of pubs and chip shops.

Stop making crap threads where the subject is not indicated in the title.

Spot on!

But you're looking at it from a 'fans' perspective. Unfortunately the decision makers won't be.

I wish there was a Starbucks at the City Ground.

I love Starbucks.

 

[dellaroc]

I'll grant you a Starbucks then, but not to the exclusion of all the other traditional food and drink outlets

I have to agree with that, even though its only been 30 years since I stood on the Bridgford Terrace on my milk crate.

I miss the atmosphere we used to have at the City Ground when the Trent end was the focus and then the following stands followed suit. We had our fans behind BOTH goals. We stuck the away fans in a corner out the way.


Besides we should campaign for a Greggs at teh new stadium and then half of you will be happier
