Nottingham Forest have reiterated their commitment to redeveloping the City Ground, but say they are unable to “predict when work will start or finish”.
Work had been due to get underway in May, following the completion of the season, with phase one seeing the Peter Taylor Stand rebuilt to an increased 10,000 capacity.
However, with planning approval still pending, earlier this month the Reds announced those plans have been put on hold “due to delays in the planning process”.
And they have not yet set a revised timescale on when construction work may begin - particularly given the uncertainty around the current coronavirus pandemic.
In a Q&A, the Forest Supporters’ Trust asked the club to "clarify the redevelopment situation".
The response said: “We appreciate our supporters are keen to understand the timescales for the stadium redevelopment.
“However, given the current climate, we are not in a position to accurately predict when work will start or finish.
“We remain in contact with our partners on the project and council to understand what our options are, however as we are sure our supporters can appreciate this is not a priority for them (councils) at this moment in time.
“The club and our advisors however are still working with a target to secure planning permission ASAP and remain 100 percent committed to the redevelopment project.”
Rushcliffe MP Ruth Edwards has previously said she is “very supportive” of Forest’s stadium project.
Announcing their change of plans, the Reds had said: “The club had planned that major construction work would begin in May this year, however due to delays in the planning process the club is not in a position to start the development at the end of the current season.
“As a result the club has made the decision to allow season card holders in the Peter Taylor Stand the chance to renew their seat.
“The club remains fully committed to the project and will continue to work towards securing all the relevant approvals, and is evaluating the options for the new timescales in order to minimise disruption for supporters.”
