CAPTAIN Brent Wilson says that Green and Whites' fans have a powerful role to play in Nottingham's Championship clash with Bedford on Sunday.

POWER IN NUMBERS: Nottingham skipper Brent Wilson hopes to see a big crowd behind the Green and Whites on Sunday.

The highly anticipated second-versus-third clash with Bedford at Meadow Lane (January 27 - 2.45pm kick-off) has drawn the attention of the Sky Sports cameras and generated record ticket pre-sales.

Wilson said it is the buzz of excitement generated in the stands that will help fuel his teammates for the biggest game of their season to date.

The skippers' only request is to get loud!

"The noise from the crowd will definitely help," Wilson said.

"I know that ticket sales are going really well and I'm looking forward to running out at Meadow Lane in front of a bigger crowd than usual.

"It is great to have support out in numbers for games like this - it is a big occasion."

Nottingham head coach Martin Haag said the fans can add to the scale of the occasion with their voice.

"We want more and more support to come down and enjoy a great afternoon out to watch a good brand of rugby," Haag said.

"I'm really looking forward to a great atmosphere on Sunday."
