    I think unfortuanetly Froch has got two fights left and he wants one at the city ground and then one in vegas.

    Froch:
    Just got off the phone with @EddieHearn & the waiting is nearly over. City Ground is now the front runner. @Official_NFFC let's do this.

    Groves about half hour later:
    Before you all book your trains to Nottingham because the Sheriff has tweeted.. I very much doubt King John would send us all there! #Hoax

    Don't think Carl would post that without there being a good chance its at the City Ground, being a Forest and Froch fan hope it pulls through.

    I suppose if you get a ticket it will be a decent view from everywhere. Looking forward to this as it seems ive ****ed up going to the Mayweather fight in September !​

    I heard the Wembley was now the front runner

    Maybe Eddie thought that Wembley / Emirates wouldnt sell out

    OR that Froch is really pushing for City Ground

    As Eddie said, its all been about ego's

    I think it will be Nottingham, it was obvious Hearn was going to give Froch an advantage, he bought the referee last time, it won't matter in the end because SGG is going to render Froch unconscious and end the Polish refugees career.

    I would hate it to be in Nottingham, that's a proper Matchroom move right there. Not surprised.

    Froch won't want it anywhere but Nottingham, his ego won't be able to take being booed to the ring in London.

    Fast Car is riding the wrong horse in this fight.He ought to be appeasing GG as he is the heir apparent and new cash cow.

    Very true, Eddie clinging on to a fading fighter. Froch knows he has little chance of winning rematch so looking to hometown crowd and any advantage he can possibly get. This fight sellls out Emirates easily.
