Nottingham Forest have revealed a poignant matchday programme for Saturday’s East Midlands meeting with arch-rivals Derby County.
The 12:30pm kick-off in front of the television cameras will be Forest’s annual tribute for Remembrance Day, with both clubs marking the occasion.
Forest have produced a special front cover in conjunction with Ignition Sports which features thousands of poppies at Flanders to represent those that have lost their lives in war.
Prior to the game, the teams will be led out by Private Derby, the Mercian Regiment’s famous mascot before both sets of players will observe a minute’s silence once the Last Post has been played by a bugler.
In the bumper edition, Sabri Lamouchi reflects on the fine win at Luton last weekend, Ryan Yates talks about his comeback from injury, while you’ll meet the two fans which climbed Kilimanjaro for charity.
There’s also the story of five supporters traveling over from Menorca for the third City Ground meeting with the Rams in 2019.
The programme will be available from the usual outlets around the City Ground on Saturday before kick-off, priced at £3 with the club making a donation from each sale to the Royal British Legion.
