Their fans are proper pissed off about it but it's been obvious for ages their owner wants them to move to make more money on corporate etc. I've always felt they had little intention of building a new Main Stand, a few of their fans have suggested they completely rebuild the ground and move temporarily to Meadow Lane for a couple of years whils it's being built.

Let them move… the money it would take to buy the land and build a 40-50k all seater would be 100’s of millions. By all accounts it’s what has impacted Everton’s abilities to balance the books with FFP.
The obvious choice IMO is to pay the 10m the council want to purchase the freehold. Then build a new stand as planned. The cost would be significantly less especially when you factor in that they have 2 relatively modern stands. It will be a bit like Fulham where they have reduced capacity whilst work happens. This would be a further boost for us IMO

Could your last sentence be our motivation for under soil heating? The revenue in the short term would surely be a huge plus?Originally Posted by marky

Their new Premiership ‘fans’ would probably love it, but I would have some sympathy with their older fans. They would see it as binning years of proud history in pursuit of the riches offered by the greed league.
I hope my first and last home games as a Notts fan take place at Meadow Lane.

Forest moving to Toton would see the revenue of The Nest badly hit though. I'm sure the the money generated from Premiership away fans would have been in the costings for it.
I really struggle to see a reason for us to install undersoil heating, we had one game cancelled was it last season so makes no sense. Aren't winters suppose to be getting milder due to "climate change" so we'll never need it. Maybe that and the Premiership style pitch is as mentioned to allow Forest to use Meadow Lane in the future.

Move, start building, get relegated 2 yrs before due to move in, then relegated again just before they move in. No need for the 50k stadium then.
Is he putting kebab shops in each stand?

Forest won't move, moving to Toton won't see them increase their attendance, in fact, moving them to Derby territory will see them drop potentially. Its like when they planned to move to Gamston, never happened again because they're moving out of where their fans will go. The only transport link I the tram, very few facilities in the area for 40,000+ every other week. They don't need anything more than 40,000, it's only since they've gone up that they've actually sold out which says everything you need to know.
The under soil heating was added now because it is a requirement for the Championship, now it could be we never get there but as this kind of pitch renovation happens maybe once a decade shows the ambition of the owners.

Good point about The Nest. If they move it would be an absolute minimum of 7 or 8 years I would have thought. It will have a big impact on Notts though and the wider area - Nest, MLSB, Navi, Embankment, Hooters, Brewhouse. Binks’ Yard.
What is best for Notts? Probably that they buy their freehold for a paltry £10m and go ahead with their existing plans for the Peter Taylor stand. I know it will leave us in their shadow to some degree but there are still big financial risks for them and may cause Marinakis to lose some of his ambition and patience. Maybe even walk away.
Better this than the risk of us being left in a bit of a wilderness.
And if we are honest it would probably be best for Florist as well.
