But with Tottenham Hotspur saying goodbye to White Hart Lane this season as they prepar

Nottingham City council eventually leased a plot of land to Notts and a new home stadium was quickly erected.

It received some eyebrow raising comments early on but even then I felt that we could come good.

But suddenly things changed. The arrival of striker Danny Haynes, and the
