An FA Cup quarter-final away at Brighton & Hove Albion awaits the winners of Monday's fifth round tie between the Blues and Nottingham Forest at the City Ground.

Town will be aiming to reach the sixth round for the first time in 32 years when they take on Forest at the City Ground on Monday evening (ITV4 KO 7.30pm).

Sixth round ties will take place over the weekend of Saturday 29th March.

In September, the Blues drew 0-0 with the Seagulls at the Amex Stadium in the Premier League, while the Sussex side won 2-0 at Portman Road in January.

Also in September, Forest and Brighton drew 2-2 at the Amex but in February the Tricky Trees hammered the Seagulls 7-0 at the City Ground.

Town have played Brighton twice before in the FA Cup in successive seasons.

In November 1949, Harry Baird and Jackie Brown bagged the goals as Town won a first-round tie 2-1 at Portman Road, then in December 1950 the Seagulls ran out 2-0 victors at the Goldstone Ground in round two.

The 7 year plan, if youd been paying attention, was presented by Mike O'Leary at the first Gamechanger Fan's forum in July 2021 so is a matter of public record, i'm sure you'll find it on the clubs Youtube channel if you type slowly enough. But we at least have the salvation of knowing I won't ever have to read your nonsense ever again. But I tell you one thing, If we sack McKenna this year and appoint Matt Bloomfield I'll be the first to admit I was wrong. And I have no idea what the relevance of Claudio Ranieri has to club in their first season back in PL action since 2002, but frankly I can't be bothered to ask. Given you have a negative feedback score in the hundreds on here shows I'm not alone in thinking your opinions are less than worthless, I shan't miss you
