Change the colours at the Ipro and it could be the Riverside, Liberty, or the Crisp Bowl. Our stadium may be old but it ain't an identikit.

I'm really surprised that nobody has tried to replicate your run down shed when building a new ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here we go, Forest fans claiming their ground is full of character, but only a few years ago were strutting about boasting of their planned move to a new 60000 capacity stadium.

Always thought it was modelled on Rochdales' Spotland but the cheaper version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's true that stadium design was very one dimensional for a period but you can't seriously prefer the Gump Dump to a new stadium? Having said that I'd have the BBG back in a heartbeat if that was possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No pubs, no character, no history there.. The City ground is absolutely fine for the most part. The fact that the majority of away fans rate it highly as one of their favourite grounds speaks volumes (probably because we gift three points so often, but thats another story..).

I would give anything for another season at Baseball Ground, and I genuinely love coming to the City Ground. As a football fan, I think clubs lose so much identity and character when moving to a generic, cost-effective, symmetrical, "architecture for beginners" stadium. 20 years at PP and we still haven't recovered.
