Reshape and Fight to Save Trent Bridge - Revisited

 


Back in 2023, Nottsview ran a series of newspaper cuttings that reported on efforts to rescue Trent Bridge Cricket Ground financially starting in 1970. Decisions were made that have had a knock-on effect that continue to shape the club and game to this day. For those newer to this blog, I'm revisiting those thirty-odd cuttings.

"survival of cricket at Trent Bridge in the balance".




1/ Starting in 1970 where on 26th February a plan was publicised to develop part of the footprint of the ground. A radical plan, ahead of its time you might say.
