Nottingham Forest supporters to get glimpse of 'world-class' future as Reds announce next step in City Ground plans

Nottingham Forest have announced the next step in their plans to turn the City Ground into a "world-class sporting facility".

The Reds revealed their proposals to redevelop their stadium earlier this year after agreeing an extended lease with Nottingham City Council.

Since then, the club say they have "engaged specialist advisers to undertake detailed surveys and design work to prepare a scheme that is deliverable and will provide a world-class sporting facility".

Discussions have also taken place with Rushcliffe Borough Council, Nottingham City Council and Nottinghamshire County Council to "inform the scheme".

Now Forest have confirmed details of a public exhibition, which will allow fans and local residents to take a closer look at the plans.

It is expected that the official planning application will be submitted before the end of the year.

If planning permission is granted, work could get under way "during the first half of 2020".

Before that happens, two public drop-in sessions have been arranged, which will be attended by representatives of the club and their consultant team, who will be on hand to answer any questions.

It will give everyone a chance to see a glimpse of the future of the club and will be held at the City Ground, in the European Lounge, which is located in the Brian Clough Stand.

They will take place on Friday, November 15, from 10am to 8pm, and Saturday, November 16, from 9am to 1pm.
