    Ground Share

    I see that Forest Under 23s will be using Meadow Lane for some of their games.

    Maybe relationships are warming a bit again.

    It's an interesting idea. Meadow lane is about 2/3 of the size of the current City Ground, isn't it? so there would be difficulties there.

    If they don’t want their fans to travel too far then Meadow Lane would be the biggest stadium locally for them to use. So is ideal.

    The other options within 50 miles are Leicester, Aston Villa or Sheff Wed and Sheff United’s stadiums. I’ve not mentioned Derby as I doubt that would be an option due to their rivalry? Likewise Birmingham St Andrews is currently shared with Coventry.

    Maybe they could even use the Ricoh Arena short term.

    They played here when their stand burnt down in '68 and I don't think they won a game?

    CG capacity is more than ML even without their main stand, so they wouldn't need to use ML
