🪹The Nest

Just what we needed - we keep losing games, the fans are all pissed off and the club announce they're building a fan zone.

But it could well be just what we need, I'm sure the idea is that it will generate income for the club in the long term. I know we have more pressing short term problems, but I won't criticise the club for looking to the future.

It’s a great idea, the area is crying out for something like this. Box park is bloody brilliant.

I agree. Form is temporary but the fan zone will be somewhat permanent.

I think it’s an excellent idea. The memories of the Box Park (or whatever it was called) at Wembley with all those Notts fans in one fan zone were brilliant and unforgettable.

So somewhere similar where fans can gather pre match that may help improve the match day experience (off the field) and bring in extra revenue is most welcome. Likewise it could also be used for away fans visiting our neighbours so could be used every week.

I can’t fault the club for coming up with new and innovative ways of making the club more sustainable.

Somewhere for away fans to use when the red dogs play, as well?

This will be in direct competition with the Navigation.
Will there be enough custom?
Will also reduce sales inside the ground.
Good opportunity for Florist opponents fans though.

I hope so. I'm guessing prices will be similar, so I'd rather give my cash to the club over the Navi.

Hope it doesn't kill the Navi, they've done a lot with the outside space.

I hope so. That's where the real money would flow in. Prem teams would pack it out, and it's the perfect distance from the City Ground while being nicely removed from Forest fans.

This seems like a smart move from our owners and shows their long-term commitment to the club.
