The Infrastructure Projects

I think it's why I loved the Trent End so much

It was real, wasn't it?

As a pre-BC supporter I've seen falls & rise, trophies & barren years, but the memories aren't just about the results, they are about the experience. I bet if each one of us searched our memories we could think of days where we've lost, but it didn't matter because you still had a fantastic day, because of your company, or your solitude, & through the energies of the crowd, of the actions of those around you, or because you ran naked on to the pitch, or whatever it was that made the day special for you.

That was part of the magic of football, 30,000 different souls, all united in the moment through the simple act of being there for the Forest.

I do think we're trying to get that back though, you see a little of it with people like Forza & so we are still trying to bring everyone in, but I do feel where you're coming from & I'm sure there are others with similar views, of other musings, or misgivings because, let's not kid ourselves, this is good for the club, but it's being done for corporate reasons.

This is one area I have less misgivings with when it comes to EM, because he's a supporter, not of us, of Oly, but a supporter is a supporter, he gets it. That's why there will be consultations with fans groups but also a survey for supporters, on the official website.

I believe they also have a feedback contact so fans do have an option to input to this still, if they wish, & don't forget elements of this have been designed partially with guidance in some areas from the previous fan survey, eg. planned concourse works & upgrades to refreshment & hygiene facilities.

The PR speech he did with the 'City Ground being our home forever.'

It blew me away.  I thought, 'This guy gets it.'

We've waiting along time for this.

For MoN/Keane dream ticket.

For the upgrade announcement to 'our home.'

It's like some kind of dream for both of them to be happening at the same time.

And an Owner who 'understands?'

*Pinch me.  I must be dreaming.
