Nottingham Forest reveal plans for swanky upgrades to training base and City Ground as owner Evangelos Marinakis steps up drive for Premier League return

Block by block Nottingham Forest are building their bid for a long-awaited Premier League return, as owner Evangelos Marinakis invests in shiny new upgrades.

The club have revealed designs for a plush two-storey academy building at Wilford Lane, and are optimistic of sealing a 'full and final' go-ahead to demolish the Peter Taylor stand and build a brand new version at the City Ground in the New Year.

Forest have submitted an additional 'sustainable and environmentally friendly travel plan' for the project, which was scheduled to start work last summer before facing planning delays.
