Forest chairman Tom Cartledge explains why club are losing patience in bid to redevelop their historic stadium
It doesn’t take long in conversation with Tom Cartledge, the chairman, to realise that the dispute threatening the future of the City Ground has accelerated the possibilities of a stadium move. “The club continue to be frustrated,” Cartledge tells The Athletic in relation to Forest’s standoff with Nottingham City Council, which owns the land where the team play. “Neither the leader of the council, the CEO nor any of the commissioners appointed by central government have reached out to the club.
The relevant people are wondering whether they should think more ambitiously and take their lead from , the reigning Premier League champions. “Because of the noise being created out of the disruption of whether we stay or go, we are getting quite a lot of interesting things put our way,” Cartledge explains. “The terms on that project are prohibiting us, but other things have come forward that have given us time to think.
