In the last month, however, there appears to have been a breakthrough and ultimately it now looks like a City Ground stay is on the cards.
But what does that mean financially? We confess we don’t really know the true value of staying on the banks of the River Trent but a football finance expert has exclusively given us the lowdown.
Following this genuinely positive news about the City Ground, we simply had to discover the full facts when it came to the perks of remaining at the stadium which is known as home.
With the dust settling on the likelihood of the City Ground remaining the home of Nottingham Forest, we spoke to finance expert, and he gave us some positive comments.
He said: “With Forest having acquired the land on which the City Ground sits earlier this month, it looks as though the club will be staying put.
I’m not hugely up to speed with the thoughts of fans, but I assume they would welcome this given their affinity and emotional connection with the ground.
“At West Ham, we’ve seen that moving to a new stadium can cause a bit of an existential crisis, so Forest supporters will be happy to have avoided that.
“It is not a foregone conclusion that this agreement will lead to the expansion of the City Ground, but that does seem increasingly likely.”
So what does this do for matchday incoming, with Forest keen to establish themselves as a Premier League club that can compete for Europe and for trophies?
