Last updated 8th Jul 2024
Nottingham Forest look like they could be staying at the City Ground, after the leader of Nottingham City Council Neghat Khan revealed details of a deal to sell land occupied by the stadium to the club.
The deal 'in principle' could bring to an end months of uncertainty surrounding Forest's future at the ground, which the club has called home for more than 125 years.
The deal includes measures to 'protect the council's position', should the club look to relocate in the future.
A final decision on the terms of the deal will be made by the Council's Executive Board next Tuesday, 16th July.
In a statement, Cllr Neghat Khan said: "I am proud to announce that talks with Nottingham Forest have resulted in principle terms being agreed for the club to buy the land on which the City Ground sits.
"I promised decisive action to secure the future of the world-famous City Ground, which has been home to Nottingham Forest for over 125 years, and that is what we have delivered."
