Forest have just confirmed that our game with Salisbury City is going to feature as the BBC live game in the 2nd round of the FA Cup. Lord save us! It will be on the 3rd December, which at least eases the sparsity of the tickets, since the game will indeed be played in Salisbury’s Raymond McEnhill Stadium in a 1:10pm kickoff. The Forest site has the capacity at 2,700 – which would give us around 400 tickets allocated, however the Salisbury City site claims 3,740, which would give us more like 560 – either way, not a huge allocation by any stretch!
Curses to the BBC! I can just imagine their gormless pundits salivating even now at the prospect of how many references to past glories they can sneak into their coverage, how many times they can mention the minnows, the David vs Goliath clash, the magic of the FA Cup! Oh, it’s going to be stating-the-obvious cheese-fest tastic, and has motivated me even more to make sure I try to get a ticket to avoid having to watch their godawful coverage!
Forest are yet to release news on ticket availability or arrangements – so keep an eye on their site for the latest news.
