Forest could quit City Ground over council rent row

Nottingham Forest Football Club is considering leaving their historic home, the City Ground, due to a dispute over the rent they are charged by the city council.

The club has been in negotiations with the council for months, trying to reach a fair agreement on the rent they pay for the stadium. However, talks have broken down and Forest are now exploring their options, which could include relocating to a new stadium altogether.

The City Ground has been the home of Forest since 1898 and is an iconic part of the city’s sporting heritage. The prospect of the club leaving would be a major blow to fans and the local community.

Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis has expressed his frustration with the situation, stating that the club is being unfairly treated by the council. He believes that the rent they are being asked to pay is not reflective of the value that the club brings to the city.

It remains to be seen what the outcome of this dispute will be, but Forest fans will be hoping for a resolution that allows their beloved club to remain at the City Ground for years to come.
