Alan Hardy urges families and Forest fans to come down to Notts this weekend

Notts County owner Alan Hardy has urged families across the region to head down to Notts County during their community day on Saturday.

The Magpies host Forest Green Rovers at Meadow Lane this weekend as part of a special day which will see a wide range of activities take place.

Among them will be games, face painting, the chance to look at an ambulance and fire engines while there will also be singing choirs.

Tickets for the game are just £10 for adults, while under-18s’ tickets are £5, under-12s’ are £1 and under sevens can go free.

“It promises to be a fantastic occasion and we have so many wonderful activities for children and adults to take part in on the day,” Hardy told the Nottingham Post.

“Whether you are a family of football fans or not, come down and experience what we are offering.

“We hope to create a carnival atmosphere in what is a big game for us. And who knows - if you are not a football fan, we may convert you into one!

“We have pulled out all the stops to make it accessible to everybody and with the team at the top of the league and looking to get back to winning ways, it’s going to be an exciting day.

“We have had a tremendous amount of interest and I cannot wait for what should be a splendid occasion full of atmosphere.

“I am also hoping that Forest fans will come along to see how the likes of Ryan Yates and Jorge Grant are getting on given they have played a major part of our success so far.

“There are no Championship games or Premier League matches to watch, so come and pay us a visit and help play a part in our bid to get back to winning ways.”
