Crystal Palace manager Sam Allardyce has spoken fondly of Colin Slater and recalls the great relationship they had when he was at Notts County. The BBC Radio Nottingham stalwart, who has covered more than 2,500 Notts matches for over seven decades, is retiring from commentary, although he will remain the station's Magpies correspondent. Allardyce, who worked with Slater during his time at Meadow Lane between 1997 and 1999, has recalled how the 83-year-old helped him in learning to deal

Wycombe Wanderers manager Gareth Ainsworth has described Notts County as a "big, strong and organised" team, but suggested that his side should have defended better and was caught out by a sucker punch in their 4-2 defeat on Saturday. Richard Duffy, Jonathan Forte and Lewis Alessandra, plus an Adam El Abd own goal, netted for the Magpies at Adams Park, with the Chairboys fightback through goals from Nick Freeman and Joe Jacobson ultimately to no avail. Ainsworth told Bucks Free Press:

Jon Stead has admitted he would have liked to score more goals than he has done so far this season, although he's happy with his general play. The 34-year-old has scored five times in this campaign but has nonetheless put in good performances to help Notts County to second in the League Two table. “I think my all-round game has been some of the best of my career this year,” Stead told the Nottingham Post. “But I’ve ended up sacrificing goals and that’s been disappointing. “I

Kevin Nolan has rubbished suggestions of the wheels having fallen off Notts County's League Two promotion campaign and stressed that they are in a very good place at the minute. Just 12 points separate second-placed Accrington Stanley and 10th-placed Lincoln City and, with 10-12 games left of the season depending on the team, the stage is set for a gripping promotion race. “There will be a lot of expectation and you just hope that does not transmit itself onto the pitch,” he told the N

With our beloved Notts County having four games to save their Football League status, we at Pride of Nottingham wanted to pass on a message from a fellow fan. Addressing the Magpies players and coaches, Glen Gretton has this to say: To any of the players or management team that may read this. I am a lifelong Notts County supporter third generation and in August 2017 my partner gave birth to my first child he will become the fourth generation Notts County supporter. I like tel

Aaron Nemane, the 25-year-old wing-back, has agreed to a new two-year contract with Notts County. Nemane played a crucial role in the record-breaking 2022-23 season, providing both offensive and defensive contributions.  His constant threat down the right-hand side of the pitch and significant defensive efforts were instrumental in our success. Nemane's performances throughout the season earned him praise from both fans and pundits alike. His ability to create scoring opportunities for

Notts County midfielder Dan Crowley has emerged as a key figure in the club's unbeaten start to the League Two season.  The 27-year-old has already scored three goals and provided four assists in six appearances, helping the team maintain their position at the top of the table. Crowley shared his thoughts on the team’s progress and the changes that have contributed to their success so far. “It’s really good to be fair,” said Crowley when asked about the current mood in the camp. 

Notts County visit Boundary Park on Saturday as the magpies prepare to take on Oldham Athletic. The Latics have only won one of their last six games, which was against Fleetwood Town. They have lost four and only drawn one. So, Notts find themselves against another team in similar form to themselves, another chance for points to be added to the scoreboard. Oldham Athletic will be seeing this as a game whereby their home advantage might sway things in their favour, however Notts mu

With Notts' boxing day game at Hartlpool being postponed it needed two goals from Izale McLeod in Mondays comeback against Morecambe to salvage a 2–2 draw and just one point from a possible 6 in the weekend fixtures for the Magpies. Notts remain 15th and still 7 points off a play-off place and with a game in hand over most teams but the safety margin from a relegation place has shortened to 14 points. League Two Results Monday 28/12/15 Bristol Rovers 2–1 Leyton Orient

John Sheridan is confident that things will turn around for Notts County as he aims to stick to his guns going into this weekend's game at Barnet. A month ago, the Magpies were flying high following a 2-1 win at Portsmouth, but since then they have stumbled to a goalless draw and three defeats on the trot in the fourth tier. "People are probably bored of me repeating it, but I know I've got to get my act together and so too have the players," Sheridan told the Nottingham Post. "I

Mark Yeates has confirmed that he wants to stay on at Notts County past the end of the season and admits several other out-of-contract players do too. The former Blackpool winger signed for the Magpies in January on a short-term deal which expires in the summer, alongside those of the majority of the players. Yeates, who will face his former club on Saturday, says he gets on really well with manager Kevin Nolan and would sign a contract if it were put in front of him. "The gaffer

Kevin Nolan expects the Premier League vote to shut the summer transfer window before the start of a season to be unanimously in favour. The idea will be discussed at a shareholders' meeting next month and, with many top-flight clubs having either sold players or are still in the middle of transfer sagas, it is believed that most would prefer it to shut early. As present, the summer window shuts on 31 August, with clubs able to buy or sell from within England and overseas. Nolan t

Alan Hardy has revealed that Notts County will subsidise coach travel for the club's fans making the trip to watch the game at Chesterfield later this month. The Magpies owner says it is a way of “showing our gratitude for those who follow us up and down the land”, with official club travel being priced at £5 for the match on Sunday, March 25. The game is being shown live on television, but Hardy hopes the special offer will encourage as many supporters as possible to watch it in perso

Notts County have announced that Liam Noble's contract at Meadow Lane has been terminated. The 27-year-old left Forest Green Rovers last autumn to rejoin the Magpies, becoming eligible to play as of January this year. However, Notts have revealed that Noble wanted to return to the north-east of England, where he hails from. As such, his contract has been ended by mutual consent and he has now joined Hartlepool United. Notts owner and chairman Alan Hardy told the official webs

Manager Luke Williams has been busy in the transfer market, bringing in new talent to strengthen the team. The club has made several signings from League One, including David McGoldrick and Dan Crowley. These players bring experience and quality to the squad, and Williams is excited about their potential. However, it's not all good news for Notts County fans. The club has also seen some departures, including Ruben Rodrigues. Rodrigues was a popular player among fans and his departure w

Stuart Maynard, head coach of Notts County, has expressed optimism about the progress of his squad as they head into a critical clash against Gillingham.  Speaking about the team’s readiness, Maynard highlighted the positive strides made in key areas, including the return of players from injury, improved defensive solidity, and the vital support from the fans. Maynard revealed encouraging updates on several players recovering from injuries. Rob McDonald and Lucas Ness are nearing full

Former Notts County loanee Cristian Montano has accused Oldham Athletic of double standards for sacking him for alleged spot-fixing then trying to sign convicted rapist Ched Evans. The ex-West Ham player was sacked by the Latics in December 2013 only for the Crown Prosecution Service to drop their investigation earlier this month. Now the Colombian winger, 23, intends to sue Oldham, claiming that his former club "turned against" him. Oldham have so

Ricardo Moniz has been sacked as manager of Notts County after just eight months in charge of the club. The 51-year-old was appointed County boss in April following the dismissal of Shaun Derry, but was unable to keep the club in League One, suffering relegation on the final day of the season. Despite a signing spree in the summer, helped out by a sponsorship deal with Ladbrokes described as ‘the most lucrative in the club’s history’, Moni

Notts County defender Haydn Hollis wants to use the last two games of the League Two season to restore some pride before they head into the summer break. The Magpies will travel to Newport County this weekend before ending the campaign with a home clash against Carlisle United, who are managed by former Notts boss Keith Curle. Defeat against Cambridge United last Saturday was their third loss in a week, following on from losses to Mansfield Town and Barnet, and with neither promotion n

John Sheridan has revealed that Jon Stead is back in training for Notts County. The 33-year-old striker has not played since mid-October because of an ankle injury and his absence has been missed by the Magpies. "Jon trained this morning. He's coming along fine," Sheridan told the Nottingham Post. "He's worked hard to get back but he won't be playing Saturday. "We'll see about him playing in the reserves next week. "He's got eight or nine days before Peterborough and he'

Kevin Nolan has once again insisted that the Notts County players whose contracts run out at the end of the season must prove themselves to their manager in the last two games. The Magpies secured safety on Easter Monday against Portsmouth with several games to spare, but with neither promotion nor relegation at stake, the concern is the players may not perform to their full potential. Nolan has already said several times over the last few weeks that he does not want the Notts players

Jonathan Forte believes he can get his scoring tally into double figures again this season if he is given game time for Notts County. The 31-year-old struck for the Magpies at Wycombe Wanderers on Saturday, helping his team edge back into the lead and eventually setting up the groundwork for a 4-2 win at Adams Park. Forte also scored against Everton's Under-21s in the Checkatrade Trophy and is now being urged by fans to start in County's game against Accrington Stanley this Friday.
