Nottingham Forest given Wembley hint as past experiences can be put to bed

Here is the latest Nottingham Forest news on Sunday, May 22, 2022.

Nottingham Forest fans are waiting to find out which kit their team will be wearing at Wembley for the Championship play-off final - but the situation has become somewhat clearer.

Steve Cooper 's side take on Huddersfield Town at the National Stadium for a place in the Premier League on May 29 (4.30pm kick-off). Forest saw off Sheffield United on penalties in their semi-final, after the Terriers had edged past Luton Town.

Huddersfield Town were given the first choice of what kit they would like to wear for the final after they finished one position above the Reds in the Championship standings, YorkshireLive reports. Carlos Corberan's side have apparently elected to wear their blue and white striped home shirt with white shorts and black socks. But does that mean the Garibaldi Red will be on show at Wembley?

Nottingham Forest will be hoping it's fifth time lucky when they play Huddersfield Town at Wembley Stadium in the Championship play-off final on Sunday.

It will be the first time the Reds have been involved in a play-off final since the end-of-season promotion deciders were first held in 1987, falling at the first hurdle the last four times they have been involved. Those initial failures came in the space of eight seasons, but more than a decade now separates Steve Cooper 's side from the defeat suffered by Billy Davies' Forest in 2011.

Their past play-off experiences date back to 2003, when David Johnson - dad of Brennan - and Marlon Harewood led the line for Paul Hart and company.
