This is a real conundrum. We should IMHO redesign and rebuild the ground with one thought in mind.
Capacity.
Had we had 45,000 tickets for our playoff final, we'd have sold them all. We have (eventually) gained the attention of the Nottingham public with thousands of people who gave up on Forest 15-20 years ago. I'm not slagging them off; more, I'm criticising successive owners, who made little effort to improve facilities and capacity. There is going to be massive disruption whatever we choose. Unless, of course, we move. Build a new stadium which can hold a bigger capacity and which can be increased easily if needed. Clearly, many of our supporters who went to the play-off final were not regulars but with very little encouragement would buy a season ticket.
