The decision was made after both sides were knocked out of the FA Cup, and so they have an empty weekend on that date because it was set aside for the 2nd Round. The two clubs deem it logical to play it then rather than midweek in March.
Meanwhile, City's match at Bristol Rovers a week before on 29th November has been made all ticket. Seats are £13.50 for adults, £6.50 concessions, and terracing is £11 adults, £5 concessions. Only a limited number of seats in the corner of the Hill House Hammond Stand are available, while 1,100 tickets for the open terrace behind the goal in the South Stand are on sale. They can be bought by season ticket holders now before they go on general sale on the 25th.
