As Nottingham Forest potentially head to an exit from the City Ground, we speak to fans of Tottenham, West Ham and Everton to get their views on leaving their former stadiums in White Hart Lane and Upton, or impending move from Goodison Park in Everton's case.

Hopefully you find the conclusions of all three interesting as each relates to what is happening with Forest in different ways. #nffc Do like and subscribe to our channel.

Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis appears to have made it clear he wants to leave the City Ground after telling the Daily Mail: ‘It will change the history in years to come of the region and the team for our supporters.
