YesHasn't it been reported recently here that Brighton don't actually fill their stadium and that it's just smoke and mirrors?
It's half empty every week

If that picture was taken in 1898 it wasn't staying that way for long -The main stand is basically a concrete replica of the previous wooden stand that burnt down.
That's what I've read and pictures suggest too.
1898 to modern times
Also saw moaning about Graham Potter from some of their fans, which is bonkers when you consider how well he's done there.Yes

Jesus, that scarey when you weigh it up. Pure greed.But we're a big club so that makes sense
ExactlyBut we're a big club so that makes sense
I work with a Leeds season ticket holder and they now send you your ticket to add to your phone wallet which works on NFC so you cant give it too anyone else. Clubs have obviously seen the resale market as something to tap into to get more money, so the way they are operating stops this to a extentJesus, that scarey when you weigh it up. Pure greed.
How do they know the person not attending isnt the person actually attending though, some sort of photo thing?
If that how the game is going then I'll be glad to get out.
Wow, that's a really interesting read and very well written! Unfortunately it shows that the writing on the wall for the casual supporters is, stay at home!But we're a big club so that makes sense
Apologies for not being born before rationing ended.is that a serious question lol ? the old stand was pulled down just prior to it actually falling down.
Forest's offices were still at Maypole Yard until at least 1908. The records were lost in th 1968 fire I believe.
This is the former stand which was constructed after the fire at the Nottingham Exhibition of the early 1900’s resulted in the main stand, offices & more importantly records & memorabilia being lost.

I believe it's called 'Alan Curbishley Syndrome'.Also saw moaning about Graham Potter from some of their fans, which is bonkers when you consider how well he's done there.
The main offices were at Maypole Yard but with the speed in which the blaze gutted the stand, I’m certain some relics from our foundation would have been lost. The narrative below is from an article regarding the exhibition https://www.exhibitionstudygroup.org/sites/default/files/130 Autumn 2018-2.pdf
The sight, on a pleasant midsummer Saturday evening, of the three steamers galloping through the Old Market Square towards the river, would help explain the size of the crowd that followed them, the trams becoming full to bursting. By the time the brigade arrived, the fire was well alight. The River Styx, Water Chute, Toboggan, and part of the Switchback were ablaze. The fire, driven by a south westerly breeze, had also ignited Nottingham Forest’s main stand (Figure 2). After the alarm was raised, exhibition staff had tried to fight the blaze, but with the largely wooden constructions and painted canvas screens they had little choice but to call the fire brigade and clear the site. They were helped by police from the Trent Bridge police station across the road.

I'm afraid a lot of falsehoods have existed about the houses on both Colwick Road and Rosebery Avenue for years.Just how limited are we in upgrading the Brigeford stand in terms of light allowance?
I heard Forest bought all those houses behind the stand over the years in preparation for such an upgrade?
You can see here how tight it is behind the Bridgeford stand, would have to buy up half the street.Just how limited are we in upgrading the Brigeford stand in terms of light allowance?

I too think we're limiting ourselves with a maximum of 35k and then 38k in a few years after that.
I believe we'll start planning to move in a decade or two if we sustain ourselves in the Prem.
The population is growing exponentially, as is the desire for top flight football. Furthermore in my experience Notts residents are often descendents from other locations. Cotgrave for example when I was growing up was full of 2nd generation Newcastle fans. Now the majority of kids are Forest. There's also fewer plastics compared to when I was a kid. I put this down to the ease of watching Forest on the TV in the last 5 years and the good community work EM brought over from Oly.
This club has seen nothing but disappointment for over 20 years. Now the f***er is lit, it's about to explode. Even if we flop the first season (which can be excused), 35k would be hit most games in the Championship in 2 years time under Cooper hypothetically if the stand was ready.
It was like a reverse Spinal Tap, but the other way round, with the club getting the measurements too big, so the whole thing didn‘t fit.Why is there only half the badge on the Trent End? I've always wondered that.
Yes Garibaldi. I can't believe it'll ever be the intention to move when you consider the scope of the City Ground even if the Bridgford end cant be sorted.
There's huge space at the BC stand for development. A new 3 tier would add anothr 5 to 7.5k so we're then at 43k ish capacity? Should be suitable and sustainable. Yes, Nottingham is expanding and growing again...but you you'd be looking an overall demographic change that'll be a couple of decades.
