'A dream' - Major Nottingham Forest update sparks huge excitement

The expected approval of plans to expand the City Ground has sparked even more excitement among Nottingham Forest supporters.

After promotion to the Premier League and 10 new signings so far, there was already plenty to write home about for the Reds faithful and the good news has continued to flow.

There is concern in some quarters, though, that the expansion is not going far enough and an even bigger expansion - the 50,000 figure has been mentioned - is needed to match the size of the football club and its ambitions. Below is a look at what supporters have been saying.

Watermark : Is it 35 or 38k? Either way it's too small. We need minimum 45k if we are serious about becoming an established Premier side.

johnnypops : Need to rethink. Plans too conservative. If we get established in PL then you have to be looking towards 50,000 capacity.

Wanwan : I'd love to get a season ticket. They'll quickly fill it. The need to build a huge 3 tier for the BC stand after this will increase capacity further to 45k. This has to be the aim

Rednz : Let's get this built first, then we can build more later, no point in building 50k seater stadium for us to drop back in championship before it's built, step by step, just like the team, one game at a time

Suffolkredun : Be fantastic once it's built. Full 35,000 seater stadium watching Forest play in the Premier League been a dream for the last 25 years!

May Duppname : About time too. This has been dragging on way too long.
