Work is now underway at the City Ground to provide Nottingham Forest with an increased capacity going into the new campaign.
A testing 2023/24 season for Forest can now firmly be put behind them as the summer transfer window has now officially opened.
There is a lot of work that can be done over the coming weeks as Forest aim to comply with the PSR rules which require players to be sold before 30 June.
But Evangelos Marinakis has some exciting plans to help develop the club having tasted European success last season with his other club, Olympiacos.
Of course, the four-point deduction did not help Forest’s cause, but with players like Morgan Gibbs-White and Murillo there may be a feeling that this club could be capable of so much more.
Plans are now in place to upgrade the City Ground ahead of the new campaign and it seems work has now started on installing the improvements.
What is changing at the City Ground?
The Nottingham Forest owner is determined to see his side playing in front of a crowd which surpasses the 30,000 mark next season.
And small changes are being made to see extra seats installed to bring the capacity just over 30,000.
Those changes include moving the big screen to accomodate more seating with hundreds of extra seats believed to being added between the Trent End and the Brian Clough Stand.
Having taken inspiration from one of the stadiums included in the Qatar World Cup, work is now underway to provide Forest fans with more seating for the 2024/25 campaign.
An image has now emerged on social media showing the work happening at the City Ground as the big screen has now been dismantled ahead of its relocation.
The Stadium 974 inspiration will soon be evident as Forest plan to use shipping containers to create new hospitality suites.
Work is clearly going on at the stadium to continue the development of the club but fans will also be keen to see changes brought to the squad over the coming weeks too.
Work to do all round at Nottingham Forest this summer
Whilst work is now underway at the City Ground and plans will be made to offload players in order to comply with PSR, Forest also need to bolster their squad.
It has to be remembered Nuno Espirito Santo‘s side only had their Premier League status confirmed on the final day of the campaign.
Although it may have been a turbulent season with the points deduction and VAR decisions going against them, but it is clear this is still a squad which needs adding to.
Players like Che Adams have already been linked with a potential free transfer to Forest this summer.
However, Forest are also being linked with £27m Maximilian Beier who could offer them with the quality needed to steer them clear of another relegation battle.
