New picture shows Nottingham Forest development of City Ground

New pictures have shown the installation of LED stadium lights at the City Ground to make it Premier League compliant.

Steve Cooper masterminded a remarkable revival at Nottingham Forest last season which saw them rise from the bottom of the Championship to a triumphant return to English football's top flight through the play-offs.

The Reds are playing Premier League football for the first time since the 1998-99 season and have invested heavily on the pitch with no more than 30 signings made since their promotion in May last year.

But the investment has not just been made in the playing squad at Forest since they went up. Premier League lighting requirements are twice those of the Championship in terms of horizontal illuminance.

They also introduce a requirement for vertical illuminance to ensure the best broadcast quality for high-definition television. And Powerplus Group have partnered with Musco lightning to install these new lights during the second half of the season.

“Nottingham Forest have achieved something tremendous in their promotion to the Premier League, and there is no better way to celebrate than with a stadium upgrade that will enhance the game night experience for their supporters,” said Musco Sales Manager Derek Field.

“Musco was pleased to partner with Powerplus Group to bring this project to life.”

The Reds have a battle on their hands if they are to secure their Premier League status for next season. Forest currently sit in the bottom three on goal difference with just seven left.
