Fans will have the chance to watch a Nottingham Forest team in action for the first time since March later this month.
The Reds’ Under-23s will play Basford United at Greenwich Avenue in a friendly next week, with a limited number of supporters present.
A capacity of 600 will be allowed into the ground for the match on Tuesday, September 8 (7.45pm) - and tickets have been selling fast.

Basford released 450 for general sale, and earlier this morning said just 150 remained to be snapped up.
Meanwhile, 150 tickets have been held back for the club’s season ticket holders.
The fixture with Forest forms a key part of preparations for the new campaign - which begins on September 19 at home to Warrington Town - for former Red and Basford boss Steve Chettle.
“We planned for pre-season early and with the delayed start to the season, we had to adjust training sessions and the games programme for pre-season,” Chettle told the club’s website.
“We started at the end of June and trained for three weeks with small numbers due to the outlined Government guidance. We had a week’s break and then set about planning our seven-week plan of pre-season with a tiered sessions and games programme.
“We will now plan our final two games: Nottingham Forest Under-23s and an opponent to be confirmed, on Saturday, 12th September, before working in our own controlled environment up until the start of the NPL season at home to Warrington Town on Saturday 19th September.”
