The cost of Everton’s new build has risen from £500m to £800m, they are looking for investment for the£300 m extra needed.
These figures just make moving another crazy decision from theForest Board, they don’t even want to pay an £750, 000:a year in rent.
Season cards would cost tons more and if relegation calls a ground at Toton would be half empty and the atmosphere Silz.
Time for of owner to grow up and start being realistic.
All pie in the sky.
CARLO.

There's a reason though carlo
Brexit and covid put the cost of building materials up massively
If marinakis wants to build a new stadium or revamp the city ground then that's a good thing surely?
After all its his money
Everton have many more problems than just the stadium, Russia going to war hasn't helped them either and an owner that wants out.

Your right but as has been mentioned he's a business man that's what unfortunately football is today business and money. If the idea makes an extra 20 30 million plus a season, then more sponsors, promoters ect, ect the extra money stacks up as a long term investment.
Look at Aresnal I bet the fans were livid at the time on the move from Highbury. But now all settled, atmosphere different but getting there plus a new generation of fans
Still think 50, 000 is a lot of fans, I would say teams like us, Fester and the shaggers could fill 40, 000 if in the prem. Still there's no place like home and the City Ground is that.

Teams like Chelsea, west ham, Newcastle are averaging 10 to 15 thousand supporters extra every home game. If we are trying to compete in the Premier, we will have to inprove the attendance.
If we move why not a ground share with county, up there stadium to Premier standard, it's a win, win for them. And just down from the City Ground is a piece of land with a car wash place on it, going for auction on Friday for about two million, land does not come cheep, so building in West Bridge ford area I can't see happening.

As with all old things, they come to the end of the road, just like us old gits that love the City Ground, we die off, and eventually forgotten, when our generation and possibly the one attending the City Ground today dies off, if a new ground is built The City Ground will just become history and forgotten. How fantastic would it be though for the younger generation to attend Forest matches in a fantastic new stadium, but for me not at Toton. Another part of the city fine, the land at the other side of the station great if large enough, I’ve seen all my Forest games at the City Ground obviously and would love to see us stay there with a completely redeveloped Ground, but If that's not possible, and I mean really not possible and we have to move, so be it. Just Football Progress.

Sorry lads got called for my tea, and when her who shall be obeyed calls ??anyway what I wanted to add was, if we do decide to move, I should say that if Mr Marinakis decides we move, I hope the money is fully in place to pay for it, we don't want Mr M spitting his dummy out half way through the build and walking away with the job only half way done, leaving the club in the sh/ + and in big debt, get your money out upfront Mr M. Don't come with big ideas, and not enough cash, I’ve seen it with my sons business, big money people wanting jobs done, not putting money upfront, and going bankrupt ???half way through the job, with the subbies and workers hundreds of thousands in debt.
So for all our sakes get the financial side sorted, obviously I know that Mr M and his advisers have far more experience than me in these matters, but we have seen these things happen before.
So with an old supporters hart on his sleeve, with my love for my Forest club, all I ask Mr Marinakis, if we leave the City Ground, YOU Better get it fu (£/ #@ well right. ??.

At the end of the day forest have to get a established team that can compete in the prem and more importantly stay in the prem. than they should consider a new ground, no point having a world class stadium if you're in the championship or worse.

Thanks for the reply Bowie my friend, yer all good here mate, apart from being another year older ? but the price of my whiskeys still the same, so not all bad ?.

Problem I have now though mate is my granddaughter is having driving lessons, and she’s got her eyes on my car when she passes her test, she knows I’m a soft touch, but I did tell her that I don’t want to be driving that much longer, had just got in from the pub though, but young uns don’t forget mate. Hope alls well with all the family up there in the north, hope the sun keeps shining on you.

Oh and by the way it ain’t snott on my sleeve mate it’s paint, fence paint, sick of seeing fences panels, but it keeps the good lady happy, then I can do my thing ??.

Think I told you I had lost another one of my mates, down to just two now and the other one is on borrowed time, not good, but what the Feck can you do about these things, nowt ay. Come on you reds, yer still not going, watched every game though, but only Forest, stuff the other football, never watched another game, hate the premiership and all it brings, guess we have to stay there as long as possible though, great talking again my friend, you take care ?.

Talking about my mate being by my side mate, don’t know if you believe in ghosts or not, but I sit in my chair at nights, all of a sudden my legs go freezing cold, swear blind my mate comes in and sits on my knee mate. Think now two of them have gone, think I’ve got one on each knee, I stand it for so long, then tell them both to Feck off and go and get myself a whiskey, just to warm my legs up of course. Strange mate but true, or maybe its an excuse for a whiskey ? ?? either way, here’s to both of them, and to you my friend. ?.
