Latest Nottingham Forest news as NottinghamshireLive explains the latest surrounding the future of the club at the City Ground
Nottingham Forest's future at the City Ground continues to be in the spotlight amid a row with Nottingham City Council over rent, and today has seen a further development..
"If we bring residential onto the site, they want to see further uplifts.
