Council bosses say they are working with Nottingham Forest to bring a planning barrier “to the conclusion” as the Reds look to redevelop the City Ground into a world-class sporting venue. Rushcliffe Borough Council says “all parties” involved in the redevelopment want the current backlog to come to an end as soon as possible, with the club telling fans it expects the Peter Taylor Stand to be revamped soon.
The club’s comments came in a notice to fans ahead of the new season in which it said the stand is “expected” to be redeveloped soon – leading to disruption for some fans and a reduced stadium capacity. It said: “The club wants to minimise the future disruption caused to Season Card holders during the expected redevelopment of the Peter Taylor Stand, which will create a temporary reduction in the capacity of the City Ground whilst works take place.
“We understand that some supporters may be disappointed at not being able to secure a season card, but further details on our membership packages will be released shortly.” The Reds first announced the multi-million-pound project to renovate the City Ground in 2019, with the club setting out its intention to transform its home into a state-of-the-art stadium.
