The One with Asif Naidu

Greg and Richard are joined by Asif Naidu, Chair of the Nottingham Forest Supporters’ Trust, for a special edition of Talking Reds.

We’ll get behind the scenes of the Trust — what it does, how it represents Forest supporters, its relationship with the club and why having an independent supporters’ voice matters.

But there’s one subject in particular that could help shape the future of Nottingham Forest for generations.

🌳 The City Ground redevelopment.

Forest’s latest plans represent a huge expansion of the club’s ambitions for its historic home, with proposals covering the redevelopment of the Peter Taylor Stand and Trent End, alongside plans for the Brian Clough Stand.

The Nottingham Forest Supporters’ Trust is now encouraging supporters to make their voices heard by writing to Rushcliffe Borough Council in support of the two live planning applications.

We’ll ask Asif:

🏟️ Just how significant are these plans for Forest’s future?

✉️ Why does the Trust want supporters to contact Rushcliffe?

⚖️ Can supporter representations genuinely influence the planning process?

📈 Could the City Ground really become a 50,000+ capacity stadium?

🌳 How important is remaining beside the Trent to the identity of Nottingham Forest?
