Mess 632 Posted February 13, 2019 Report Share Posted February 13, 2019 Correction. The last time we beat Mansfield in the League was on 29th August 2005 so it's 13½ years ago. Notts won 3-2 at Field Mill https://www.11v11.com/matches/mansfield-town-v-notts-county-29-august-2005-220816/ 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Deepdene Boy 642 Posted February 13, 2019 Report Share Posted February 13, 2019 Mess, the "funny" thing about last season's game and the last minute penalty, is that I know the referee, Andy Woolmer, very well. Indeed I have officiated with both him and his son at different times during my time as a referee. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I heard somewhere that one of Lawton's training methods was to get centre forwards to jump onto the edge of a snooker table starting from a standing position. That's some feat! Didn’t ex-Forest player Duncan McKenzie jump over a Mini as his party trick? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Deepdene Boy 642 Posted February 15, 2019 Report Share Posted February 15, 2019 Beating Everton 2-0 in a League Cup replay in 1975. The County Road stand was actually bouncing on its foundations that night. Losing to Everton in the 1984 FA Cup quarter final to an Andy Gray header that was no more than six inches off the ground. Easter Monday 1977, coming back from 2-0 down at Molyneux to draw 2-2 when we were chasing promotion, only to just miss out and seeing bloody Forest go up. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

philmayfield 6,274 Posted February 28, 2019 Report Share Posted February 28, 2019 Not a good day for Allan Hardy. His company Paragon is in administration and there’s a winding up petition from the Inland Revenue against Notts County. Apparently he borrowed seven million from Paragon to buy the club. Not a good move in retrospect. We’ll just have to see who’s waiting in the wings to buy Notts County. He doesn’t even own the freehold of the ground. Looks like he’s been a little over ambitious. He lives nearby. I’ll see if his house is for sale when I pass! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

radfordred 6,284 Posted March 27, 2019 Report Share Posted March 27, 2019 Any movement over at Notts? It's all gone a bit quite from Mr Hardy? Has he sold it? Can he sell it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

radfordred 6,284 Posted April 9, 2019 Report Share Posted April 9, 2019 I'm sure all Notts fans eyes will be on bottom club Macclesfield game in hand tonight against 7th placed Exeter. Fingers crossed. Wonder if old Alan will coff up on Wednesday for the high court winding up order from HMRC .... Interesting times? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
radfordred 6,284 Posted April 10, 2019 Report Share Posted April 10, 2019 Notts 5 games left with 3 at home, still think you'll stay up, if shit happens, a least your long time fans will able to say they've seen them play in all 5 divisions? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Deepdene Boy 642 Posted April 10, 2019 Report Share Posted April 10, 2019 RR, its two at home, three away. Our away form is better then our home form, 46 points should see us safe, so three more wins should do it. (Crawley are in free fall and could still get dragged into the dog fight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mess 632 Posted April 11, 2019 Report Share Posted April 11, 2019 Recent away form would suggest Notts could win all their last three away games. I also think they can beat MK Dons because they (MK) will be playing to win. Against Grimsby we'll do well to get a draw. Lower half teams usually have gigantic defenders who Notts struggle to get past. So I reckon Notts will finish on 49 points which will see them safe by one point. I don't expect Yeovil to pick up more than two points so I think they're gone. Sol Campbell's Macclesfield are doing well but I think they're going to run out of steam. Call me an optimist if you like but after following Notts for nearly 60 years you have to be. COYP. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,109 Posted April 11, 2019 Report Share Posted April 11, 2019 Ha, ha, Mess. Forever the optimist. I thought Forest would beat Ipswich and Rotherham hands down, but no ! Playing the bottom teams at this stage of the season is a mine field. I actually hope Notts stay up, but it'll be a struggle. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mess 632 Posted April 13, 2019 Report Share Posted April 13, 2019 OK, OK it would seem we will have to beat Grimsby as well to get the 49 points I predicted. Unlikely I know but the fat lady isn't quite singing yet although she's certainly warming up lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AlanB 13 Posted May 4, 2019 Report Share Posted May 4, 2019 So sad that County have dropped out of the league. And I say that as someone who isn't a supporter of either County or Forest. I'm old enough to remember when Notts were in the old Division 1. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
letsavagoo 968 Posted May 4, 2019 Report Share Posted May 4, 2019 Yes it is sad. My late father was a life long avid Notts fan. Always joked that the ref would wait for him to sit down before he'd kick off. I got dragged along when I was about 5 but I never got into it and was bored to death so I stopped going when I was old enough to speak up. His loyalty to the pies though has rubbed off on me a bit and I listen on radio Nottingham most weeks. It's been a disastrous season and I'm glad that dad isn't here to witness this. He'd be heartbroken. Ive got quite a lot of Notts memorabilia inherited from my dad. Signed photos badges etc. Is that worth more or less now? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Deepdene Boy 642 Posted May 4, 2019 Report Share Posted May 4, 2019 A VERY sad day indeed. However, I will still be proud to tell anybody that asks, that I support NOTTS COUNTY. C'mon you 'pies. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
