Notts County manager Jamie Fullarton has blamed fine margins for his side’s League Two defeat against AFC Wimbledon. The Dons recorded a 2-0 victory at Meadow Lane to extend their unbeaten run to six games, with striker Tom Elliott and winger Andy Barcham bagging the goals to give the new Magpies boss a loss in his first home game. Fullarton said: "Major incidents in games change how they pan out. They scored a fantastic goal after about t

Notts County goalkeeper Scott Loach has promised the club's fans that he and the rest of the players will want to right the wrongs of last season. The Magpies endured a horrendous campaign in 2015-16 as survived relegation in the last few games, finished 17th and suffered a number of high-scoring defeats. Loach told the Nottingham Post: "There are a few things that the lads who were here last season will want to put right. "The Mansfield game in particular was one that stands out

Alan Hardy has paid a heartfelt tribute to former Notts County chairman Derek Pavis, who sadly passed away last week aged 87. Pavis, who has the west stand at Meadow Lane named in his honour, guided the Magpies through their most successful period in their recent history. He also oversaw the redevelopment of the stadium before stepping aside after 13 years at the helm at the age of 70. In his Nottingham Post column, Hardy wrote: "I was deeply saddened to learn of Derek Pavis' deat

A cracking game in prospect with the Notts Youth team in 7th place taking on local rivals Burton Albion who were 8th. Notts were five points behind the leaders but with a game in hand - so a win was needed to keep up with the league leaders. Back in August Burton had won the first meeting between the teams 2-0 so Notts were looking to avenge that defeat. Although cold it was a lovely sunny morning at Arnold FC's ground with Burton Albion's first team manager, Nigel Clough, in attendance.

Notts County have completed the signing of former Newport County winger Alex Rodman on a free transfer. The 29-year-old played 25 times for the Exiles last season in League Two, scoring four goals, and was managed by current Magpies boss John Sheridan. Rodman cited this as a key reason for joining Notts, telling reporters: "I've worked with him before - he came in when we were having a bad spell at Newport last year and he turned the tide around. "I know how he works, I know how h

Notts County boss Kevin Nolan has pledged to get momentum going and edge his side to League Two safety, starting this weekend at Grimsby Town. Despite the Magpies slipping into the drop zone, they managed to stop the rot last week with a point against Mansfield Town at Meadow Lane. The goalless draw was an improvement on the previous 10 league games, which all ended in defeats, and John Sheridan's successor is hoping for more in the coming weeks. "We want to build momentum now," N

Rob Milsom has admitted that he wants to establish himself as a goalscoring midfielder at Notts County, and believes that Kevin Nolan is just the guy to coach him into it. The 30-year-old has been at Meadow Lane for two seasons and, following a disappointing first campaign, really came into his own in 2016-17 and was rewarded with the club's player of the season awards. Milsom was utilised in a variety of positions at the club but, now that he is deployed in central midfield, he wants

Kevin Nolan's managerial tenure at Notts County has today hit the one-year mark and the gaffer had plenty to reminisce about, but insists there is to be no resting on laurels. This time last year, the Magpies were seemingly destined for the Conference, and perhaps even extinction, until Alan Hardy took over the club and brought Nolan along with him. There was a lot of doubt over the appointment, given his relative inexperience - he had only had a short stint at Leyton Orient - and the

Notts County owner Alan Hardy has penned a further statement wishing to update fans on his reasoning for Kevin Nolan's dismissal and looking ahead to bringing in a new manager. The former Premier League midfielder was let go on Sunday after Notts fell to their fourth League Two defeat in a row at Lincoln City. Notts have also confirmed that board member Jon Enever has quit the board, but the main focus as stated on the Notts website was to do with Nolan's departure. "In light of r

Notts County have bolstered their attacking options with the signing of Guinean forward Mai Traore from Norwegian side Fredrikstad. The 25-year-old has joined Meadow Lane for an undisclosed fee, pending visa and international clearance.   Traore has put pen to paper on a two-and-a-half-year contract, with the club retaining the option to extend his stay by a further year. Known for his pace, power, and eye for goal, the forward brings top-flight experience from Scandinavia, having play

Notts County have completed the signing of former Wales international Richard Duffy on a free transfer. The 30-year-old centre-half turned down the offer of a new contract at Vale Park and also rejected a switch to non-league Eastleigh. Duffy said he had a change of heart when the Magpies came in for him as he becomes John Sheridan's fourth summer signing, on a one-year contract. He told the Nottingham Post: "I agreed to sign with them but when John called I felt it was a chance I

Alan Hardy has "completely transformed" Notts County since taking over the previously beleaguered club at the start of 2017, according to one of the new team sponsors. Macesport, based in Nottingham's Lace Market, have signed up to be the first name on the Magpies shirt following the announcement of the club's never-before-seen monthly sponsor arrangement. And lifelong Notts fan Paul Mace, who founded the company 12 years ago, has praised Hardy's work so far, urging other local compani

Kevin Nolan has described his Notts County players as "magnificent" as they sealed a 2-0 win over Morecambe in Saturday's League Two encounter at Meadow Lane. Dan Jones opened the scoring midway through the first half with a well-taken free kick, while substitute Jonathan Forte made sure of all three points with a late strike. The result sees the Magpies climb to third in the table and stretches their unbeaten run in all competitions to six games, but Nolan is eager for his side to reg

Carl Dickinson has claimed that Notts County could have easily scored "five or six" goals against Bristol Rovers in their FA Cup first-round meeting on Friday night. The clash at Meadow Lane began in the worst possible way for Notts, who found themselves two goals down by the quarter-hour mark. However, Ryan Yates struck a quickfire brace - assisted by Dickinson for both goals - to edge the hosts level, before Jon Stead and Jorge Grant completed the turnaround by full time. “It di

Meadow Lane is one of the stadiums proposed by the FA in its official bid to stage the UEFA Women’s EURO 2021 in England. Notts County's home ground is among the likes of several EFL stadiums included, with the likes of Brentford, Peterborough United and Sheffield United seeing their grounds included. The FA’s decision to submit its bid follows England Women’s successful Euro 2017 campaign in the Netherlands which saw the Lionesses reach the semi-finals, generating a record peak audien

Notts County head coach, Luke Williams, was pleased with his team’s performance in their 3-1 victory over Accrington Stanley at Meadow Lane this past Saturday. The Magpies went top as a result of this victory, and Williams had nothing but praise for his team. Williams praised his team for creating “really good chances” and noted that Aiden Stone, the goalkeeper, got Man of the Match. “We scored three goals, but the goalkeeper gets the Man of the Match, so that tells you that it was tough, a

Notts County head coach Stuart Maynard has hailed his side’s impressive performance after securing a 2-1 away win over Gillingham at Priestfield Stadium. The victory marks four consecutive away wins for the Magpies, who are in fine form following their 1-0 triumph over Carlisle United earlier in the week. Maynard was full of praise for his squad’s first-half display, highlighting their control after withstanding early pressure from the hosts.   “I thought first half we were absolu

On the 1st of March this Saturday, Notts County will be taking on Rotherham United. They've risen from League Two and are currently one of the top teams on form in this league. If we based the league on the last six games they would be positioned 2nd. However, if we stretched to four games making it 10, they would be one position lower at 3rd. Notts will be seeking to pick themselves up after back to back defeats. The Match Officials for Saturday's at the New York Stadium

Notts County have confirmed the signing of former Port Vale captain Carl Dickinson. The 29-year-old has been unveiled at Meadow Lane this afternoon, putting pen to paper on a two-year deal. A Stoke City academy graduate, Dickinson made his professional debut with the club in 2004 and helped the Potters win promotion to the Premier League, where he played five games. Dickinson then played for Watford, Portsmouth and Coventry City before joining Port Vale in 2013 and was appointed c

Notts County midfielder Rob Milsom admits he's "gutted" that his on-pitch partnership with Michael O'Connor has had to be put on ice but believes Elliot Hewitt will continue to be a great replacement in the centre of the park. O'Connor suffered serious cruciate ligament damage in April and is expected to be out until next year as he prepares for knee surgery. Hewitt has however done well in his place and, after committing to a new deal at Meadow Lane, is expected to continue partnering

Alam Hardy has revealed how one prospective Notts County target - a free agent - asked the club for more than £4,000 a week to join. The Magpies strengthened their ranks throughout the course of the summer and, although there was some mild interest in a number of players late on in the transfer window, nothing came of it. Hardy wrote in the Nottingham Post: "The window closed last week and I was originally of the opinion that deadline day added great excitement. "But, on reflectio

Bristol Rovers striker Tom Nichols has admitted that his side deserved to lose in their FA Cup first-round encounter at Notts County. The Magpies found themselves two goals down within the first quarter-hour but spectacularly turned it round through strikes from Ryan Yates, Jon Stead and Jorge Grant for a 4-2 final score. “It was very disappointing after how we started,” Nichols told the Bristol Post. “I think we got what we deserved in the end. We got 2-0 up and just stopped play
