Nottingham City Council has issued a statement over whether it will show Nottingham Forest's huge play-off final against Huddersfield Town on a big screen - or organise a 'fanzone' in Old Market Square on Sunday (May 29). Billed as the richest game in football, the Reds travel to Wembley to play the Terriers in Forest's long-awaited quest to return to the Premier League.
Tickets are in high demand for the lucrative fixture at the National Stadium, with Reds supporters having been given a total allocation of 36,475 general admission tickets at the West End of Wembley Stadium. On Friday (May 20), the club confirmed that 19,500 tickets had been sold - and that hospitality tickets had also been snapped up.
Those who have not been able to buy a ticket so far will undoubtedly be looked at their options of where to watch the game on TV - such as on a big screen or at a pub or sports bar. But Nottingham City Council officials said they had no plans to screen the game in Old Market Square or turn it into a fanzone.
