Nottingham Forest can confirm that a collection will be held prior to Friday night's pre-season friendly against Real Sociedad to help the staff of Notts County.

The club would like to reassure all supporters wishing to donate that 100% of the money raised will go towards the staff at Meadow Lane.

Collectors will be easily identifiable around The City Ground prior to kick-off and Nottingham Forest do not endorse any unauthorised collections taking place and urge supporters to check before donating.
