Future Plans |
The future had looked very bright indeed for
Boots whilst at the Nottinghamshire
Sports Ground, with plans some exciting major
developments with the aim of boasting the best sporting facilities in the
County. These plans including a gym, another astro turf pitch, improved
social & changing area facilities. However, with new tenants
Nottingham Rugby Club having ironically relocated from Beeston, these
plans did not include the Chemists, sadly bringing to an end over eighty years of football
being played at Lady Bay.
Having moved back to Beeston, one may have hoped that the club would have a little more stability. Not so. HSBC, who own the New Venture Club on Trent Vale Road expressed their desire to develop the site and as such the future of the changing facilities were in doubt. Fortunately, the concerned now seem unfounded. Meetings with HSBC and the local council have ensured that the NVC will continue where it is for two years, after which it will relocate to a new building at Trent Vale Road. The plan is to integrate new dressing rooms into the plans and having a bar on site. |
