Debate on TV ( BBC ) @ 11.00am today re new ground ( councils putting their points of view I believe ). :ubique:
Nathan Tyson's Corner Flag said:Excellent. About time. No doubt there will be a for and against side. Unfortunately here we don't get east mids !
sebs said:no debate, just a summary of the situation
apparently councils are meeting.
for some reason eddie izzard was asked for his opinion, what the hell?
kenny burns reckons we should move. tory leader of the county council reckons we shouldn't. bid leader for nottingham says we need 45000 seats and you can't get them on the city ground site. rushcliffe borough council and nottingham city council refused to be included in the piece.
Nathan Tyson's Corner Flag said:How can they justify not expanding the CG when Trent Bridge has seen numerous vast projects undertaken to advance the size and facilities of the place when it's only yards away ! I may have more sympathy of more info was made publicly available.

It's Baggio said:It's not really comparable.
A 'World Cup ready' CG would need to hold around 3 times as many people as Trent Bridge. You've only got to walk around the CG to realise that as it stands it just isn't possible.
The County Council and Coun. Cutts seem keen for us to stay at the CG site but I wonder how keen they'll be when they realise a raft of houses and other buildings need knocking down. I get the impression that they're somewhat out of the loop.
Broganator said:Isnt Manchester stonewalled to be picked to host the WC though?
With Old Trafford, the City of Manchester stadium isnt it obvious who is going to be picked?
Matt. said:I thought it was...your only allowed 2 in one city/area and then one it each?
What? That's way off.CKnffc said:Your allowed two per city so I think the givens would be:
Wembley
Emirates
Old Trafford
City Of Manchester
New Anfield
Villa Park
and then the rest from these cities: Bristol, Derby, Hull, Leeds, Leicester, Milton Keynes, Newcastle, Nottingham, Plymouth, Portsmouth, Sheffield and Sunderland

Robbie Cabbage said:Hmmm.....who to agree with..... :think:
WNYForest said:What did he add to the debate, the proposal that we should build the new stadium out of jam?
Ravi said:Either that or there is truth in the alleged rumour that Cutts (what a perfect name for a Tory ;D) and her cronies have a vested interest in the Gamston land being used for another development.
incapable hulk said:Its a shocking state of affairs, and both should spend more time trying to sort out whats genuinely best for the people of this city and county and the supporters of nottingham forest football clubs. Rather than thier own silly agendas.
