The fall out from the announcement of a potential new Forest stadium continued today. The villagers of Gotham are reported to be against the development, stating that it will damage the environment and the picturesque nature of the Village. They are also worried about the sub-urbanisation of the village into the former council estate of Clifton. Forest have been stressing the potential benefits to the Clifton area, including employment and inward investment.
Forest have been offering further reasons for their decision including the lack of access to the city ground and the rising cost of redevelopment. The opinion within the fan base seems to be evenly divided at the moment, but some high profile individuals have been expressing their support.
I feel a lesson coming on…

How big will Derby be? Will it have the transport system to be able to support incoming crowds for the World Cup?
We still get large crowds for a league one team, it didn’t stop Manchester City…
