The Trickies will welcome the Premier League Eagles to the City Ground in July.
Nottingham Forest have announced a pre-season friendly fixture against Premier League side Crystal Palace in July.
Roy Hodgson’s charges will visit the City Ground on Friday 19 July in a 7:45pm kickoff in what is so far the only pre-season friendly at home for the Championship side.
Nottingham Forest posted the news on their official website, confirming the first meeting between the two sides since the 2-2 draw at the City Ground in December 2012.
In addition, the Reds confirmed that Trickies season card holders will be able to watch the game for free, with other tickets priced at £10 for adults and £5 for concessions.
Here is how some Forest fans reacted on Twitter to the announcement, which was also shared on the social media platform:
Forest have six pre-season friendlies pencilled in so far (official website), beginning with a trip to Alfreton Town on Saturday 29 June before heading to Greece for a five-day training camp.
In Greece, they will face Atromitos and Olympiacos on Saturday 13 July and Tuesday 16 July respectively before returning to England.
Back on home shores, Forest will face Palace before taking on fellow East Midlands sides Mansfield Town on Tuesday 23 July and Lincoln City on Monday 29 July.
