After today’s comments from the leader of the City Council, the Club wishes to clarify the situation for supporters and stakeholders regarding the freehold for The City Ground.
The statement continues:
‘For absolute clarity, we continue to work on the terms for a conditional deal for the purchase of the freehold.
‘Any decision to purchase the freehold will be entirely conditional on Nottingham Forest first being granted the relevant permissions that will allow us to realise our hugely ambitious plans for a significantly larger stadium capacity, world-class hospitality spaces and associated substantial real estate development in the vicinity of the ground.
‘Our discussions remain confidential and the Club will update fans when meaningful progress has been achieved.’
