Nottingham Forest have released plans to redevelop the City Ground.

The first major changes since 1994, the club will completely rebuild the Peter Taylor stand and add a new museum and shop as well as improved facilities for supports all around the stadium.

Improvements include:

• New museum
• New club shop
• Hospitality lounges
• Restaurants
• Executive boxes
• New spacious concourse
• Improved facilities for disabled supporters
• A substantial increase in wheelchair spaces

After an initial consultation period, it is hoped that building work will start at the end of the 2019/2020 season. The developments will make the City Ground the largest in the East Midlands, with a capacity of 38,000.

The announcement comes as the club extended the ground's lease with the local council.
