The Infrastructure Projects

[Salvatore Matrecano]

The new stand is part of the Clubs plans to increase commercial revenue significantly over the coming years.

For a Club our size to be raking in around 25m a year in income is pretty bad; the only way that will improve is if the Ground starts to earn on non match days.

The new stand, together with additions around the rest of the ground, will go a long way to providing the facilities to earn that income.

Knocking down the existing stand and replacing it with a similar structure with similar facilities is pointless.

The proposed Flats will contribute around two thirds of the construction costs of the stand; they will get built one way or another.

This is exactly it. Forest commercial revenue for 2019 was £6.7M which is towards the low end of the table for the Championship. In comparison Derby earned £9.7M, Birmingham £10.1M, Bristol City £14.5M
We must improve these figures, ultimately we have to sell a key player every Year just to keep up.
