Nottingham Forest have been drawn at home to Bradford City in the First Round of the Carling Cup.

Stuart McCall's side will be looking to upset the odds and are confident going into the tie which will be played the week commencing the 10th August.

McCall said: "Forest is a great place to play your football and we will go there to get a good result to take on for the rest of the season."

Elsewhere, the club have announced that season ticket sales are up by 15% than at the same point in 2008 and the idiot who vandalised the Brian Clough statue in the Old Market Square has been given 360 days in prison.
