Kevin Nolan unhappy with "ridiculous" Notts County fixture list

Kevin Nolan has hit out at a "ridiculous" festive fixture list for Notts County this season.

The Magpies must travel to Morecambe on Boxing Day which is then followed by a trip to Swindon Town three days later.

Notts were also handed midweek trips to Exeter City and Yeovil Town this season, causing much inconvenience for the Black and White Army.

“It’s ridiculous from the EFL,” Nolan told the Nottingham Post on Tuesday.

“They need to get the fixture list right. We are going to Morecambe and Swindon over Christmas and that’s scandalous. It’s a bugbear for me.

“If it’s local and away from home then at least the fans have the chance to go if they are off and enjoy an away day.

“Everybody loves Boxing Day fixtures and we don’t want our fans travelling four hours.

“It’s like Exeter. People shouldn’t be getting in at 4am or 5am in the morning from a game.”
