Is the forest stadium totally dependent on the WC now? If England loses the world cup bid will the plans for a new ground still continue? I imagine if Forest go up this year the ground will become a certainty.

Forest consider City Ground exit
The City Ground is located close to the River Trent
League One club Nottingham Forest has revealed plans to move to a new purpose-built stadium located on the outskirts of the city.
The club's chief executive Mark Arthur said the team was considering a move from its City Ground home to a site on the south of Nottingham in Clifton.
The current ground on the River Trent has been home to club since 1898.
The stadium would have a capacity of between 40,000 and 50,000 with most of the funding from the private sector.
'New gateway'
The new location is closer to the M1, but the move would probably be timed to coincide with the expansion of the nearby A453, which links the area to the motorway.
Forest chief executive Mark Arthur said the club was excited about the new stadium which would be a focus for new jobs and events in the area.
He said the club's main goal was still promotion to the Championship and then the Premiership - and added that the money for the project would not be taken from player funds.
The new stadium project is a "dramatic new gateway" to the city that should be in place by 2014, he said.
The scheme would also include new housing and other commercial developments in the Clifton area.
Mr Arthur said the club has not yet calculated an exact cost for the entire project.
