I'm sure the 888 evening was at Birmingham City FC last year, worth checking with the club to see if it'll be repeated

Yeah that's correct Ista, sadly I couldn't make it last year as I was in Nottingham for uni. I believe 888 also sponsor Notts Forest, the preview night will inevitably be there now I'm back here

Sorry to do this Ryan but I just can't let it go... it's NOTTINGHAM Forest. Apologies for being so pedantic but it's kind of a big deal round these parts. :devilish:

888 no longer sponsor the Forest shirts by the way, it's Betbright now, so that might work out for you.
