First Team Squad
Families of Nottingham Forest and Ipswich Town fans will be able to sit alongside each other at the Championship game between the two clubs at The City Ground on Saturday, April 10 (kick-off 3pm).
In a repeat of the hugely successful 'Mixed Zone' initiative piloted by Forest earlier in the season, supporters of both teams are being encouraged to sit together rather than be segregated.
Special family tickets - costing just £25 for two adults and two juveniles - are on sale for 'T' Block of the Brian Clough Stand.

And that particular section of the stadium will be the focus for pre-match and half-time entertainment with a host of other fun activities being planned.
Forest ran a similar scheme for their game against Doncaster earlier in the season which was declared an unqualified success.
In fact, the initiative earned the club The Perform Best Marketing Campaign at the prestigious Football League awards earlier this month.
Forest's Safety Officer Alan Bexon said: "We are confident that the initiative will be managed safely, however we hope the initiative will be as successful as the Doncaster game.
"We believe that the offer of a family ticket for £25 represents excellent value for money and we're confident supporters of both clubs will enter into the spirit of things on the day.
Good to see the club trying to make a success of this, it offers a different experience I would imagine and could be the start of something. Anyone at Newcastle on Monday night must have been envious of the segregation in place. No dead man's land of seats, full capacity used just a strip of police to keep fans apart down the stairs - I think we should take note, after all this was a near sell out and a hotly contested top of the league clash.
