DCFC27 Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Surely Notts counties ground is the best option. Might not get everyone in but I can’t imagine 20000+ fans going to Stoke or Leicester either Kathcairns, Patrick Rams, r_wilcockson and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gee SCREAMER !! Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 More chance of me winning the lottery than any sane police force allowing thousands of Derby fans to trawl into Nottingham every other week plus night games. jono, Tamworthram, Derby4Me and 6 others 5 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blimey. This is easier than I thought! Everyone's a winner! *Well, not everyone, obvs, but it's only Mel. Duck 'im! ? And have MSD agreed to rent the stadium to us for a decent price, and sell it back to us/DCC whenever we want, and for a decent price? Odds are, it's going to bump the rent up in the mean time and bump up the cost when we come to buy it, if they are willing to sell it at all. And are MSD just going to ignore the other things that the loan is secured against (training ground etc)? RAM1966 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BucksRam Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 A by-product of the MA era and one of the key things my Toon mate always banged a drum about - a lack of investment by MA in the club and academy as he was only focused on profit.

Look at Coventry fiasco. But why Leicester or Stoke? Surely given that scenario it would make more sense to share with Notts County?

Effectively, County have to play at home when Fo*est play away, and visa versa. There'd be nowhere to slot us in. Never going to happen (imo). EDIT: Fixture-wise, Burton would work (as their only "local rival" is us)... but that's just far too small, I guess?

Not a fan of ground share and hope it doesn’t come to that but Chesterfield is at least in the county - only holds 10,500 but that’s probably all we’d get in the circumstances. Other than that Donny Rovers ground is quite nice ? jimtastic56, Gritstone Ram and Mucker1884 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
