Nottingham Forest's clash with fierce rivals Derby County is a sell-out

The City Ground is a sell-out for the upcoming East Midlands clash between Nottingham Forest and Derby County.

Forest have made an excellent start to the season, sitting in second heading into the international break, level on points with leaders West Brom.

And that fine form has Reds fans licking their lips ahead of the derby with Derby County on Saturday, 9th November (12.30pm).

Forest today confirmed the Championship clash at the City Ground has completely sold out in general allocation with only hospitality options available.

Around 30,000 will be in attendance to watch the age-old rivals lock horns and to see whether Forest can retain the Brian Clough Trophy.

The Reds have held the trophy since their league win over Derby in February, also beating the Rams 3-0 in the Carabao Cup this season to ensure it remains within their grip.

Derby have started the season with mixed fortunes, currently sitting 13th in the Championship table and seven points behind their East Midlands rivals.
