A deal is announced that could end a rent row between the club and the council.
Nottingham Forest look set to stay at the City Ground after Nottingham City Council agreed to sell the stadium’s land to the club, ending months of stalemate on its future.
Talks between the council and the club had since been at an impasse, leading Forest to say they were considering a potential move to Toton in Nottinghamshire to create a new 50,000-capacity stadium. “I’m pleased to announce we have agreed in principle the sale of the City Ground to Nottingham Forest, all subject to the Exec Board approval next Tuesday,” Ms Khan said.
The council then declared effective bankruptcy in November last year amid a multimillion-pound budget deficit, and government commissioners were appointed in February to oversee critical improvements over how the council operates.
