The future of Nottingham Forest at the City Ground is a contentious talking point as Evangelos Marinakis and his board remain at loggerheads with the local council

Nottingham Forest fans have made their feelings clear to owner Evangelos Marinakis about the future of the City Ground - now it's time for all relevant parties to put their cards on the table.

That would make the ground and the land Forest's to do with what they please - if indeed they do want to do anything with it?Evangelos Marinakis was vocal in the press last week with his big vision for the club. And to make that dream a reality, it seems it could involve a move away from the ground that is such a huge part of the club's identity.

That appears to be the key issue here - does the club feel that the City Ground could, and should, be their home for more years to come? The answer seems to be no. Football grounds are the lifeblood of a community, plus they hold more nostalgia than any book or video could ever offer up. Are the council truly prepared for that eventuality and the loss it would mean to the city? Can they actually do anything to prevent it? After all, it's a big boost for the local economy in the current location.
