“its about time we had a new question fed up of seeing this one.”

“Statto, order your tickets by phone and collect them on match day.

Sensible, shut up you fool.”

“Albert if you think they could build a new tramline, from scratch in 9 years I think you're living in dreamland.”

“if the new ground is to be built at gamston,surely nottingham forest MUST open a club shop & ticket office in the city centre as gamston is too far out to buy merchendise/match tickets on non matchdays.at least at the city ground,its only a 5 minute bus journey from the centre.also,at gamston,the buses wont be as frequent as from trent bridge to notingham.”

“"he wants another tram line opening . It's all he's interested in"

Here's the plan then.

Rushcliffe clear City Ground, their existing offices, and surrounding area and build luxury riverside apartments/offices.
New tram line from Station via Cattlemarket and Lady Bay bridge, then down the riverside to new stadium at Gamston.

That would really wind him up.

:-)”

“Barry , he wants another tram line opening . It's all he's interested in .”

“Sensible, you don't counter any arguments, you just invent facts and figures to suit your own bitter crusade. I pointed out several examples of what Nottingham has to offer over Derby, each of which you ignored because you could not counter them. And on top of that the proposed stadium will be superior to the by then 20 year old PP. If you bothered to look at the World Cups history, you will understand that 1 or 2 new stadiums are built and highlighted as a legacy. IF, the World Cup comes to Nottingham, the stadium will be built whether you like it or not.”

“"sadly they have had to resort to freebies to make it seem full."

And that one doesn't stand up either, given all the 'Kids For a Quids' that Forest have to 'make it seem nearly full.'

Seriously, all the arguments you Forest fans come up with get thrown back in your faces.

"only so much money available captain , which would you choose world cup or more trams ?"

Well I wonder.

A tram that will actually benefit the people of Nottingham by providing a credible alternative to the car, or a stadium that is about 3 group matches in 2018 and after which will be a shell?

No contest, me thinks.

Particularly as if the stadium goes ahead the local economy stands to lose 70 million!

And given that we don't even know whether Robbin Hood came from Nottingham or Doncaster...

And as I have said before, the cricket last summer did not cost the local economy £200 million plus to put on.

"and it has all the major advantages of reasonable connections by most forms of transport, and an airport close by for the majority of fans to use."

Not near the stadium, Andyman.

Unless you know something I don't...

And Albert, on this one I think we will just have to agree to disagree.

What housing development? Rushcliffe Borough Council seem clearly to have said no (Post, 3 December.)

"But lets face it Sensible, you're biggest gripe is that Nottingham Forest will benefit, must be hard to take for a Notts County fan, it hasn't been a good week for you."

Wrong. My biggest problem is that the FA has chosen our bid, and in so doing put at risk England's wider bid, due to the fact that Derby has already a stadium; the main specification, whereas Nottingham does not, and Given that County Hall and Rushcliffe Borough Council won't go down without a fight...”

“Once again there is more ridiculous comments posted today by people from Derby and Leicester and that number of narrow minded Forest fans that are out there.I have read the articles that are on the Derby/Leicester sites and they seem to think there is some kind of conspiracy going on to why Nottingham was selected to stage matches in 2018 over their own bids,Firstly get over it already,Secondly ask yourself one question If the Derby and Leicester bids are that good why did the FA completely reject them ? why did'nt the FA submit them aswell as a alternative to Nottingham ? and then let FIFA decide on which bid was better.The truth is that the Derby Leicester and Hull bids fell way short and that's a fact.Also the argument to whether Brian Clough is or is not famous the world over is paper thin to say the least,obviously Brian Clough is most famous what he did at Nottingham Forest and Derby County as a manager plus his short time he had at Leeds United and also his playing days in the north east and his unique chracteristics and famous speeches but i'm sure there are people around the world that have heard of him and some who don't have a clue who he is but this has no relavance in the argument too which city in the east midlands should host world cup matches in the future.Remember the Joker only speaks fact.”

“I have lived in New york, Paris, Sydney, Rome, Munich, Brazil, and Porto and not one person in these towns as heard of Nottingham Forest and I am a Forest supporter”
