“The majority of supporters travel to the city centre and then head to the football ground”

“Fact one - the minority of Nottinghamshire's population live in the City of Nottingham. Fact two - the majority of Nottinghamshire's population live outside of the City of Nottingham. Fact three - Nottingham City Council was made a unitary authority in 1997 by New Labour in order that the minority could impose their will on the majority. Fact four - the majority of workers outside of the City boundary do not work in the City and are increasingly shopping elsewhere because it has become a horrible dirty and dangerous place. Fact five - the sooner the City Council loses its unitary status and is brought back under the democratic control of the majority the better for everyone. These loonies at City Hall need to be flushed out once and for all.”

“Nottingham Forest is a city team not a county team so why not put it in within the city limits, how about in the Eastcroft area, sorry I forgot Nottingham City have that earmaked for even more overpriced apartments that nobody wants!”

“Yet another reason why the rural Tory Nimby counci's should have absolutely nothing to do with the conurbation. For all of those selfish people who like all the advantages of living in a conurbation but none of the inconvenience why don't you go and live in the country not the suburbs which are a natural extension of the city and should be administered by the city.?The greenbelt/brown belt argument is a complete red herring. The green belt mostly consists of ecologically sterile farmland and the brownfield sites that remain are not feasible for the current demand. The green belt must be revised because of the fact we need the housing because we are all living longer. It's not an option not to build houses.Not only that why should people living within the city administrative area have to put up with greater overcrowding, pollution , congestion etc just so you lot can have it with gravy? Nobody wanted eco villages at RAF Newton and nobody wants any houses south of the river. No wonder the government has to get involved. If this democratic disgrace continues i.e. the city of Nottingham held ransom by these articficially created councils(40 years old thats all) then the houses and the money will go elsewhere. Nottingham desperately needs to increase its boundaries as the current situation is intolerable with people who have no real interest in the expansion of the city continually stifling it's growth to the detriment of those who actually live there. Redraw the boundaries to include all suburban areas and to allow reasonable growth and have one unitary council for the city and one for the county and get rid of the rest of the other cornershop operations. I think after everything that's happened we would sanction having a few less politicians. One City.One Council.”

“Because nobody is asking NFFC to fund the new stadium. This is not NFFC proposing to build a new stadium to host World Cup games, but rather the local authorities. The clue is in the story 'If the homes are not built, cash for the stadium will be difficult to find'. I imagine it will work pretty much the same way that MCFC became tenants at Eastlands.”
