someone said Portsmouth on here, consequently, Arsenal away is a bit of a shock, makes progression far more difficult and we seem to consistently draw top 6 sides, seems a bit unfair, though i do think the team could be upto overcoming this challenge, Arsenal have Villa at home a couple of days before and Man U away about 5 or 6 days later

You're getting confused PSS. We've playing Arsenal U23's, not Arsenal.

None of the Arsenal players who will be playing in the Villa and ManU games will be on the pitch against us.

:P

Any news on ticket allocation yet?

i wanna go to this, surely it won't be a problem, 70,000 plus seater?  probably only be 3000 home fans, they seem a bit too far up there own backsides these days the Gunners fans, newmegastadiaoverexpectationCLnotgoodenoughitis syndrome

I really want to go to this game too!
Emirates hold 60000 and usually only allocate 3000 for away fans. Hopefully Forest or EFL will insist on more.

A few years back (2017) I went to Chelsea in the cup and ended up on the train back with some Doncaster fans who had been at Arsenal they had over 5000 tickets that day:

Rules are different for a cup game - 10%.

So Arsenal will have games on:

Thursday 19th ( Europe )
Sunday 22nd ( Villa )

Chances of our game being played on the Tuesday are - I would suggest - nil.

We’d better accept that we will field something akin to the team that beat the Sheep - with the game @ Stoke just 48 hours later.

We could play Tues and Arsenal pay Wed, see who scores the most goals!

I'm sure that we will be the ones moved and the game will be Wed.
Still want to see our not quite 1st team against their b team.

Arsenal will probably play their reserves anyway like last time

Hope so, then we will f**k them again, like last time.

[Tricky]

I somehow get the impression Arsenal fans will not be too happy if they do play their 2nd team against us again, especially if we hammer them like the last time. 

I get the impression we hurt their pride the last time  :D
