Facility Notes: Nottingham Forest Fans Register Ground As Asset Of Community Value

League Championship side Nottingham Forest fans "will get a say on their stadium's future should the ground ever be put up for sale." The Nottingham Forest Supporters Trust "successfully applied to register the ground as an Asset Of Community Value." NFST Chair Elliott Stanley said that fans and the local community "can now help safeguard the club." Nottingham Forest moved to the ground in West Bridgford in 1898 (BBC, 6/22).

West Aberdeenshire and Kincardine MP Andrew Bowie "has given his backing to the campaign against" a new Aberdeen stadium at Kingsford. Bowie announced he "cannot support the plans for the site on the edge of his constituency," which are due to be considered by councilors later this year. Bowie said, "I think the No to Kingsford group have raised legitimate concerns" (Aberdeen EVENING EXPRESS, 6/21).

Hong Kong's sports community "waged a final battle on Thursday to convince lawmakers to sign off" on the HK$31.9B ($4.1B) Kai Tak Sports Parks project as it entered the "crucial stages of debate at the Legislative Council." As the Finance Committee "began debate on the mega-project at the former airport site, a group of athletes and sports officials gathered at the Council Chamber to rally support." A petition from 73 national sports associations was handed to committee Chair Chan Kin-por "urging officials to sign off on the long-delayed project" (SOUTH CHINA MORNING POST, 6/22).

Wentworth Golf Club's Chinese owners "moved to silence its rebellious members." In what has been dubbed a "golf club with Chinese characteristics," the members of the "prestigious" home of the Ryder Club and PGA European Tour HQ have been "banned from airing their views on the club and its billionaire Chinese-Thai owner, Chanchai Ruayrungruang." The "sweeping changes to 91-year-old Wentworth's rule book mean members now face instant ejection for making public any negative comments about the owner and his vision" (SCMP, 6/22).
