Latest Nottingham Forest news from NottinghamshireLive as supporters respond to the club's City Ground statement
Nottingham Forest fans have responded as the club gave “absolute clarity” on the City Ground situation. Nottingham City Council made a statement on Monday announcing an agreement in principle has been reached for the Reds to buy the land on which the stadium is built.
"I promised decisive action to secure the future of the world-famous City Ground, which has been home to Nottingham Forest for over 125 years, and that is what we have delivered. Football is staying home, here in Nottingham, and the mist will keep rolling in off the Trent for years to come. "We understand that this has been an uncertain time for supporters, but property transactions like this can often be long and complex. We are legally bound to seek best value for our taxpayers, and we feel that the deal now on the table satisfies that requirement and works for Forest, entrusting the future of this important asset to the club.
“For absolute clarity, we continue to work on the terms for a conditional deal for the purchase of the freehold. Any decision to purchase the freehold will be entirely conditional on Nottingham Forest first being granted the relevant permissions that will allow us to realise our hugely ambitious plans for a significantly larger stadium capacity, world-class hospitality spaces and associated substantial real estate development in the vicinity of the ground.
