Nottingham Forest will discuss building a Hillsborough disaster memorial at the City Ground after calls from supporters.
Chairman, Tom Cartledge, spoke about the prospect of a memorial 35 years on from the crush that resulted in the death of 97 fans at an FA Cup game between Nottingham Forest and Liverpool.
Cartledge said: “I’m aware that there are memorials at Anfield and Hillsborough and it is one of those that we should reflect on, and if people want to make that idea to me they should do.
“I’d be delighted to sit down with those individuals and understand what that should mean and what could look like”.
The Forest chairman says that he is yet to be approached by supporters about their calls for a memorial but would look to involve the club’s fan advisory board when looking into a potential tribute.
All 97 fans that died as a result of the disaster in 1989 were supporting Liverpool but 28,000 Forest fans in attendance witnessed the tragedy.
In 2016, an independent inquiry found that all those who died were unlawfully killed.
Brian Laws, who played in the game for Forest, backs calls for the club to dedicate their own tribute to the disaster.
Laws said: “Whilst you don’t want to commemorate something as awful as that, it’s that support and feeling that we are united. We are all in it together, we were all there together and we all feel the same issue together.”
