Alan Hardy has revealed how Notts County were on the brink of signing a Spanish forward on a free transfer earlier this week. However, the move broke down because the wages agreed "needed to be net of tax, not gross". The Magpies have been on the lookout for a new forward following Mason Bennett's injury and subsequent surgery forcing him to return to parent club Derby County. “I think our search for a player who is currently unattached has been well documented,” Hardy told the No

Former Notts County defender Thierry Audel has completed his UEFA B License in football coaching. The French born player currently plays for Welling United in the National League South whilst under tutorship of Chris Fairclough, who played for Notts County during the 1998/99 season. He continues to work towards further establishing his new business venture Audelsports. It started in Leicester and has progressed and now extended to Nottingham.  He told PON exclusively; "I have been

Notts County captain Kyle Cameron has committed his future to the club by signing a two-year contract extension.  The 26-year-old defender has been a crucial figure for the Magpies since his arrival two years ago. Cameron was out of contract this summer after leading Notts County to promotion at Wembley. The club's board of directors, together with head coach Luke Williams, are delighted to retain his services. The extension of Cameron's contract is a clear indication of the club's fai

Notts County were thrashed 3-0 by a Carlisle United side playing at Preston North End's stadium in front of 3,067 Cumbrians fans who made the 85-mile trip. A Danny Grainger penalty and two Jabo Ibehre goals were enough for victory at Deepdale, which staged the game after flood damage at Brunton Park. Was the result fair? The score line is fair, Notts didn’t do enough to warrant anything from the game and Carlisle looked like scorin

Notts County manager Mark Cooper has pledged to put together a group of players that will put up a good fight in the remaining League Two games of the season. The Magpies secured safety last week following a 1-0 win over Hartlepool, but since then they have fallen to a 5-0 thrashing at Mansfield and a disappointing 3-1 defeat at Barnet. County's players received criticism from Bees boss Martin Allen, who said they had let a lot of people down. Cooper added: "Martin has the right t

John Sheridan has admitted that the Notts County fringe players who lined up against Boreham Wood have given him a welcome selection dilemma ahead of the Newport County clash. Rob Milsom, Graham Burke, Stanley Aborah and Genaro Snijders helped the Magpies to a 2-0 win against their non-league opponents in the FA Cup and book a second round date with Peterborough United. "The players who came in didn't do themselves any harm," Sheridan told the Nottingham Post. "They passed the ball qui

Wycombe Wanderers manager Gareth Ainsworth has urged caution to his players ahead of a "big test" against Notts County on Saturday. The Magpies travel to Adams Park this weekend for a League Two encounter which will see Kevin Nolan's side try and earn a third win on the bounce in all competitions. "Notts County have got some real quality in their squad, and with Stead and Ameobi up front they bring with them Premier League experience which will be a big test," Ainsworth told the offici

Notts County attacker Jorge Grant has hit out at the fans who have criticised his performances in recent weeks and insists that he thrives on pressure in terms of performances and scoring goals. The 23-year-old came off the bench against Stevenage last week to net the opening goal in what ended as a 2-0 win. The goal was his first since his all-important equaliser at Lincoln City in mid-January, a long wait for his 18th of the season, and he celebrated by putting his fingers in his ear

The 2018/19 League Two fixture list has been published, and Notts County will begin next season with a home clash against Colchester United. The U's, who finished lucky 13th in the table last season, will travel to Meadow Lane for their opener on Saturday 5 August. It is the first time Notts have opened the season at home in eight years when they faced Huddersfield Town. The Magpies will then travel to Cambridge United a week later before rounding off the month with games against

Following the announcement of his new contract extension, Jodi Jones has his sights firmly set on promotion as he prepares for the upcoming campaign with Notts County. The Malta international winger, who was pivotal last season, believes the squad is now in an even stronger position to challenge at the top of League Two. “I think we’ve improved in the areas we needed to,” Jones commented. “We’ve added some quality players, and you can see it in the way we’re playing. We’re confident, b

No Christmas cheer for Notts in game number 21, losing very disappointingly 0 – 3 to Carlisle at neutral Deepdale. Notts slip to 15th, 7 points off a play-off place but with the same 16-point safety margin from a relegation place. League Two Results Barnet 4 - 2 Crawley Cambridge 1 - 1 Mansfield Carlisle 3 - 0 Notts County Dagenham & Redbridge 0-3 Bristol Rovers Exeter 2 - 3 Luton Hartlepool 1 - 2 Plymouth Leyton Orient 1 - 1 Yeovil &

Notts County manager Mark Cooper has claimed he is already looking at players to sign next season in case he is given the job on a permanent basis at Meadow Lane. According to reports, the former Swindon boss is yet to trigger the points tally which will guarantee him a permanent deal at the club. Nevertheless he is not letting the uncertainty over his future stop his planning and says there are a number of players he is aware of. Cooper said: "You get a detailed list of players i

John Sheridan has claimed that Newport County will provide Notts County with a stern test on Saturday. The Welsh club appointed Graham Westley as manager in early October and, since then, have improved in form. A win at Meadow Lane on Saturday, providing other results go their way, will see the Exiles climb off the bottom of the League Two table. "They are in a good vein of form at the moment," Sheridan told the Nottingham Post. "They have a manager who is an excellent appoin

Notts County boss Kevin Nolan has reiterated the need to have momentum going into next season's League Two campaign and urges his out-of-contract players to "make me want to keep them". With the exception of Adam Collin, Mark Yeates, Carl Dickinson, Michael O'Connor and Matt Tootle, every other player on the Magpie payroll will see their current deals expire this summer. The club secured safety last Monday despite falling to a 3-1 defeat against Portsmouth, before the weekend brought a

Kevin Nolan claims Notts County are yet to hit their full potential this season, but is pleased that the last two games have been won despite this. Following a poor 3-0 loss to Coventry City in the League Two season opener, the Magpies put in a solid performance in the League Cup against Scunthorpe United, only losing on penalties. They then followed it up with victories over Chesterfield and Everton Under-21s, and Nolan believes there is more to come from his charges. “I feel in

Shaun Derry has spoken fondly of the "class" relationship he had with the Notts County fanbase and is looking forward to returning to Meadow Lane. The 40-year-old began not only his playing career at Notts, but his managerial career too, taking the reins in 2013. Derry masterminded the Great Escape, helping the club stay up in League One in 2014, but was dismissed in March 2015 as the Magpies could not repeat the feat the following season. Now managing Cambridge United, who visit

In contrast to January, which went super slow, February was a blink-and-you'll-miss-it month, but there was plenty to digest on the Notts County news front. In this article, Pride of Nottingham recaps all the key events from the month. 3 February Notts County put in one of their best performances of the season in front of the biggest Meadow Lane crowd of the 21st century - 17,274 people in total - in a 4-1 win over Crewe Alexandra. The Magpies charged just £2 for tickets for this

Kevin Nolan has spoken of how Notts County want to make the playing squad younger and turn the team's youth players into assets. The Magpies signed several highly rated young players this summer, with the likes of Tom Crawford and Will Patching joining from Chester FC and Manchester City respectively. Nolan also says he wants up to six or seven Under-19s training with the first team by this time next year. He admits he is excited about the prospect of working with talented youngst

Notts County midfielder Jim O’Brien has had a unique journey with the club. He has experienced both the highs and lows of football, from relegation to the National League to promotion back to the EFL. In a recent interview, O’Brien reflected on his time with the club and what makes this coming season feel “more special” than any other. O’Brien’s journey with Notts County began with the goal of helping the club stay in the league. Unfortunately, despite his best efforts, the club was relegat

Peterborough United head to Meadow Lane having lost their last two games, they have only won once in their last six games and that was against Leyton Orient. So they find themselves in quite poor form, similar to ourselves prior to our recent two results. They will be wanting to put aside this disappointment by focusing on an away win. The Posh will be calling upon their more senior players to give guidance to their young talent, as they're desperate to pick up po

Ricardo Moniz has hit out at Notts County's "childish mistakes" in their 3-0 defeat to Carlisle United. The League Two clash on Saturday had to be played at Preston North End’s Deepdale stadium after Carlisle's Brunton Park was hit by Storm Desmond over a fortnight ago. Despite this, former Magpies manager Keith Curle’s current side were two goals up by half time thanks to a Danny Grainger penalty and a strike by Jabo Ibehre, before the la

Notts County and Cambridge United have met just 24 times in their history, with the first meeting coming on Boxing Day 1970. The result? A resounding 4-1 win to the Magpies at Meadow Lane. Notts hold the advantage in the head to head, with 11 wins, 7 draws and just 6 defeats against the U’s. The last game, however, was a 3-1 win for Cambridge earlier in the season. The club was founded in 1912 as Abbey United before taking the name Cambridge United in 1951.  It first competed in t
