Supporters believe it might just signal the start of the site preparations in the club's ambitions to increase the capacity of the stadium by filling the corners of the Trent End
Anticipation is building among Nottingham Forest supporters that initial works may have started on the redevelopment of the City Ground. In recent days, a crane and contractors have arrived at the corner of the Trent End and Peter Taylor Stand.
Newsagent worker, Kieran Harlow, 24, said: “I’m happy for it to be done. I think it brings a lot of customers and income to the area. It’s one of the main attractions in West Bridgford and the ground does need upgrading. The plans came to light just before Christmas, with a planning application put forward to create two new hospitality areas made from modified shipping containers at either corner of the Trent End, between the Brian Clough and Peter Taylor stands respectively.
The development is believed to be a temporary measure ahead of the wider, multi-million-pound redevelopment of the City Ground. A central part of the long-term vision for the City Ground is to increase the capacity of the Peter Taylor Stand by knocking it down and rebuilding it. Jessica Beales, co-owner of Cloughies Cob Stop on Pavillion Road, said: “I’m excited that its expanding and hopefully it brings more trade in on a match day. It’s really busy and the atmosphere is really good on match days.”
