There’s much to be said about being a Notts County supporter, the togetherness I have witnessed and been a part of has really resonated with me. From the first time I witnessed a fan actually using the Pride of Nottingham site, to the friends I have made from within the community, it’s something I am very proud of.

Truth be said, this club is much better than most probably realise and the years of struggling has only brought people together.

Supporting a local club like Notts is all about the ups and downs, which we have mostly experienced but there have been good times – I’d like to see these return and for my own children to witness some of the success I have during my childhood.

Naturally, this isn’t always the case but as with anything in life – it’s about making the most of what you have.

For this reason, I hope to see the word we crave to return to Meadow Lane and that is ‘stability’.

I have said a lot about my reaction to hearing official news from the club, which makes a change because for a while now it’s been going around the rumour mill. However, it really is time for all Notts fans to stand together and show that we care passionately about the club we support – as this small difference could have a huge impact on the field.

Hopefully Jamie Fullarton will think about implementing missing players, who he hasn’t yet given a fair chance in my opinion but regardless, I will be cheering the lads on tonight and I hope others join in.

I would just like to see the depressing atmosphere disappear in and around Notts, for Meadow Lane to return to what we all know it can be – I know it hasn’t quite felt the same and even the players can do their part by encouraging the support by being positive themselves. I hope to see them run out, warm up, and show us some passion.

Because when you hear local reporters talk about other clubs, such as the likes of Leicester City – having a real buzz, it makes me want to try think on the positive side, rather than allowing their comments about us not having it sink in.

As I genuinely do not believe Notts will get relegated, yet whilst it feels like this – it won’t make things easy.

Let’s try to make a difference tonight, at least as fans we can try and get behind our club. Are you up for it?

Below if you stick around, you find a video which is one of the most inspirational featuring NCFC - look in the comment section.

Notts County and Dagenham & Redbridge have met just nine times, and all the meetings have come in the last nine years.
The first clash was back on 15 September 2007, when the Magpies beat the Daggers 1-0 at Meadow Lane in League Two.
Last time round, on 29 September 2015, the East London side drew 1-1 against Notts at Victoria Road in the league.
Notts are just ahead in terms of head-to-head, with four wins to their opponents’ three, plus two draws.
Based in Dagenham, in the London Borough of Barking & Dagenham, the club was formed in 1992 through a merger between Redbridge Forest and Dagenham.
The club can trace back its ancestry to 1881 as Redbridge Forest was an amalgamation of three of the amateur game's most famous clubs, Ilford, Leytonstone and Walthamstow Avenue.
Between the clubs they won the FA Trophy once, FA Amateur Cup seven times, Isthmian League 20 times, Athenian League six times, Essex Senior Cup 26 times and London Senior Cup 23 times.
Tony Roberts, the club’s record appearance holder with 507 games over 10 years, is the only goalkeeper in the history of the FA Cup to have scored a goal from open play. He netted against Basingstoke Town in October 2001, a fourth qualifying round.
The highest ever scoreline in the first leg of a play off game is now held by Dagenham & Redbridge, who defeated Morecambe 6–0 on 16 May 2010, although they could not build on this afterwards with a 2–1 defeat in the second leg.
The Daggers also hold the record for highest scoring penalty shootout in professional football history, defeating Leyton Orient in the second round of the Football League Trophy 14–13, 27 penalties in total, on 8 September 2011. 
This was later equalled, but not bettered, by Liverpool who beat Middlesbrough in a League Cup penalty shoot out by the same score in September 2014.
In addition, they hold the joint highest aggregate score in a League Cup match, with 12 – On 12 August 2014, Dagenham & Redbridge drew 6–6 after extra time at home with Brentford in the first round of the League Cup. They went on to lose 4–2 on penalties.
--

Notts County manager Jamie Fullarton has no new problems as his search for a first home win in charge continues against Dagenham & Redbridge.
The Magpies fell to theit third straight defeat on Saturday, but the Scot has plenty of options at his disposal should he wish to make changes, with the likes of Alan Smith, Liam Noble, Graham Burke, Thierry Audel and Izale McLeod all starting on the bench at Plymouth Argyle.
Defender Scot Bennett, meanwhile, has missed the last four games with injury and he will be checked on once more.
Rock-bottom Dagenham, who are without a win since January 2 and on a five-game losing streak, remain without a trio of players.
Midfielders Luke Guttridge and Frankie Raymond have missed three and two matches respectively due to ankle injuries that are set to keep them out for another month.
Forward Zavon Hines, meanwhile, is a long-term absentee with a knee issue.

With Notts County's youth team having slipped to fourth position in the league after a 3-1 defeat away at Oldham in their last game, a win was required to regain their place amongst the pacesetters.
 
Still without their first choice keeper after he broke a finger, Notts began the match into the breeze on a very hard and bobbly pitch.
 
As early as the very first minute Notts fell behind when a cross was headed goalwards by a Rotherham striker.  It was going just inside at the foot of the post but the Notts keeper dived and got his hand to it but couldn’t prevent it crossing the line.
 
The remainder of the first half was an even affair with Notts never hitting the good form they have shown so often in the past against a Rotherham side knowing they now had something to hang on to and were working very hard at closing down the Notts players.
 
Half Time: 0-1
 
The second half was completely different with Notts having a really spirited and higher tempo approach to the game and dominated it right from the kick-off.  They carved out chance after chance but couldn’t score.  Shots were driven just the wrong side of the post, great saves from the Rotherham keeper and misses when scoring looked easier.
 
A frustrating second half to a game that Notts had lots of chances and should have won – but, as we all know - that’s football! The final score was 1-0 to the young Millers.
 
With no game next week the young Pies will face a stern test away at one of the teams in the leading pack - Scunthorpe - in a fortnight’s time.

Notts County defender Haydn Hollis has called for the players, staff and fans to remain united in what he calls a “tough time for the club”.
The Magpies have slipped to three defeats on the trot, while off the pitch, Ray Trew has resigned as chairman and put the club up for sale.
Trew cited abuse from fans as a reason for his decision, which came just two days before the Magpies' 1-0 defeat at Plymouth Argyle.
Hollis told reporters: "I've been at the club since the chairman came in and he's been nothing but good with me.
"As players we've just got to concentrate on the performances on the pitch and let the people at the top take care of everything else.
"It is a tough time for the club, it's uncertain and I think everyone has got to come together – the players, the management, the fans. We've all got to be as one.”
Discussing the Home Park defeat, Hollis added: "We're disappointed because I don't think they were much better than us, but when things are going against you they just fall against you.
"It's always good for me if I'm playing well, but ultimately we need to pick up points and we haven't. I'd rather have an average performance and pick up points.
"I feel confident. The new gaffer has come in and I've played every game under him so he's shown belief in me, but I still go in the changing room and sulk when we don't win.
"It just wasn't to be so we've got to get ready for out next game (against Dagenham & Redbridge) on Tuesday now. We've got to forget about it, put it behind us and crack on.”

Notts County manager Jamie Fullarton has called on his attacking players to be more ruthless in front of goal following their defeat at Plymouth Argyle.
The Scot felt his side created the best chances during Saturday’s League Two clash between the Pilgrims and the Magpies at Home Park.
Jon Stead weighed in with a number of chances in County’s 1-0 loss, while Adam Campbell fired wide in the closing minutes of the first half.
Fullarton told reporters: "It's disappointing (to lose) on the balance of play. The players are frustrated because they should have and could have got something better from it.
"I think we had some very good opportunities in the game. I don't think there were many that I can recall of Plymouth opening us up other than the goal, which was a well-taken goal but also disappointing from our point of view.
"So when we have such good opportunities, particularly in that first half, it's important that you take them, especially when you are playing against a team that is second in the league and at home."
Speaking of Campbell’s spurned chance on 41 minutes, Fullarton added: "That's what happens sometimes. As I've said on many occasions, I won't criticise someone for missing chances. I think the most important aspect is that you continue to create chances and I felt we did that.
“We've got to take positives from it. I think the players should. There is a level of frustration in the dressing room because they didn't get something from the game when we very much merited it, against a team that is sitting second in an automatic promotion position.
"We're looking at progression, we're looking at those building blocks for us to kick on and that is a positive and now we really need to look at combining getting the points we merit to reflect how we played.
"The worry and the concern come when you don't create chances and I think, away from home against a team that's in the position they are in, we created the best chances in the match."

Notts County fell to their third defeat in a row on Saturday as Plymouth Argyle's Graham Carey struck the only goal in their League Two fixture to secure all three points at Home Park and leave the Magpies empty-handed on the long trip back to Nottingham.
Neither team was able to muster a proper chance until around 13 minutes in, when Jason Banton’s low driven cross fell to Jon Stead, who had a pot shot, but Hartley cleared the effort off the line.
After Stead’s effort, both sides continued to go through the motions, but in the last five minutes of the half, Notts weighed in with two dangerous chances.
First Elliott Hewitt let rip with a shot that Luke McCormick had to backpedal to palm away, then Adam Campbell fired just wide of the back post following Rob Milsom’s sumptuous through ball.
The half-time whistle saw both sides go in level at the break, but just three minutes after the restart Carey pounced onto a loose ball in the box and drilled past Roy Carroll to put the Pilgrims ahead.
Notts countered through a curling effort from Stead that sailed over the bar, before Oscar Threlkeld had a glorious opportunity to make it 2-0 to Plymouth, but scuffed his shot wide.
Just before the hour Notts were in panic mode again after losing possession and allowing Craig Tanner to break quickly, but Carroll dived to his left and made the save.
At the other end, Blair Adams forced a great save from McCormick after a pull-back by Ronan Murray, but despite two corners, his side was unable to make anything of it.
Despite seven minutes of injury time at the end of the game, Plymouth were able to hold onto the win and secure all three points.

It is goalless at half time in the League Two clash between Plymouth Argyle and Notts County at Home Park.
The first foray of the game fell to Argyle, as Craig Tanner headed straight at Roy Carroll in the opening minute of the match.
Jamie Fullarton’s charges then countered through Jason Banton and Blair Adams down the left wing and made some headway in the opposition half.
Neither team was able to muster a proper chance until around 13 minutes in, when Banton’s low driven cross fell to Jon Stead, who had a pot shot, but Hartley cleared the effort off the line.
After Stead’s effort, both sides continued to go through the motions, but in the last five minutes, Notts weighed in with two dangerous chances.
First Elliott Hewitt let rip with a shot that Luke McCormick had to backpedal to palm away, then Adam Campbell fired just wide of the back post following Rob Milsom’s sumptuous through ball.
Nevertheless, it proved all square come the ref’s half-time whistle.

Speculation has emerged that former Manchester City, Crystal Palace and Reading manager Steve Coppell is in line to become Jamie Fullarton’s assistant at Notts County.
The 60-year-old was at the Magpies’ last home game against Leyton Orient, while Notts chief executive Julian Winter revealed Fullarton is "in dialogue" with somebody over the position.
Asked directly if the person he is speaking to about the No.2 role is Coppell, Fullarton appeared to sidestep the question by replying: "It is important that we bring in people with the right skill set that complements and supplements what we already have in the building.
"We have a lot of very good staff at the moment that bring something different. So that's our job over a period to assess and then hopefully add to what we have."

Notts County owner Ray Trew and Nottinghamshire businessman Alan Hardy have reportedly signed a non-disclosure agreement allowing them to stage meaningful discussions over a potential takeover at Meadow Lane by the latter.
The two men are said to be clashing over their respective valuations of the club, despite ongoing talks for two months, with Trew understood to be wanting between £8m and £10m for Notts.
By allegedly signing the agreement, it would suggest that Hardy, who owns The Nottinghamshire Golf, Hotel & Country Club and is chief executive of Nottingham-based group Paragon, is a serious bidder.
Under the terms of the agreement, neither individual can speak publicly about any talks between them, but should they eventually agree on a price, Trew can open the club's books to Hardy for him to carry out confidential due diligence with a view to completing a takeover.
Magpies chief executive Julian Winter, meanwhile, said he had not met or spoken to Notts fan Hardy – it is understood the bidder has dealt directly with Trew from the start and will continue to do so going forward.
Winter also suggested the process may be lengthy. He told local media: "I have been involved in these things and I have never seen a quick one. Don't get me wrong they do happen from time to time, but they are not the norm."

Out-of-favour Notts County midfielder Stanley Aborah has not been told to find another club, according to manager Jamie Fullarton.
The 28-year-old  has not played since the Scot took charge at Meadow Lane last month, despite being a regular starter under former manager Ricardo Moniz.
Aborah was rewarded with a new contract until the summer of 2017 on Christmas Day thanks to a series of performances that made him a fan favourite, but has not kicked a ball since their 4-2 home defeat against Oxford United on 2 January.
When Fullarton was asked if he had told Aborah he can leave the club, the boss replied: "No, very much it's not the case. I've been consistent with my reply to it; he is part of the team, the club, and the squad.
"We have a big squad, as you know, and he's available for selection. And what we feel is best to go and compete and win the game against Plymouth, I'll make that decision."
Should Aborah be reinstated to the starting XI? Let Pride of Nottingham know by signing up to the site, visiting the forum and joining the conversation.

Notts County and Plymouth Argyle have met a total of 43 times over the years, with the Magpies winning 23 times; the Pilgrims have triumphed 11 times, and nine draws have taken place.
The first meeting took place on 13 Jan 1923, a FA Cup clash in Plymouth which ended as a goalless draw.
We met earlier in the League Two season, on 11 October 2015 at Meadow Lane; Reuben Reid struck on 18 and 86 minutes to give the Pilgrims the win.
Plymouth club takes its nickname from an English religious group that left Plymouth for the New World in 1620. The club crest features the Mayflower, the ship that carried the pilgrims to Massachusetts. 
The city of Plymouth is the largest in England never to have hosted top-flight football. They are also the most southerly and westerly League club in England.
The club was founded in 1886 as Argyle Football Club, the first match taking place on 16 October 1886 against Caxton, a team from Cornwall and saw the Pilgrims lose 2–0. 
Poor performances on the pitch led to the club going out of existence in 1894 before being resurrected in 1897 as one part of a general sports club, the Argyle Athletic Club.
Much speculation surrounds the origin of the name Argyle. One explanation is that they were named after the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, an army regiment with a strong football side of its own. 
Another theory is given the respective geographical placements–suggests the name comes either from the nearby public house, The Argyle Tavern, where the founder members may have met, or the local street named Argyle Terrace. 
An alternative suggestion is that their initial kit was decorated in the famous Argyle diamond pattern.
The club adopted its current name when it became fully professional in 1903 joining the Southern League, under the management of Bob Jack. 
Since becoming professional in 1903, the club has won five Football League titles (one Division Two and two Division Three), five Southern League titles and one Western League title. 
The team set the record for most championships won in the third tier, having finished first in the Third Division South twice, the Third Division once and the Second Division once.
In March 1973, Plymouth played a friendly against Brazilian giants Santos - who had a certain Pele in their ranks. However, the Devon club shocked the crowd of over 37,000 people at Home Park by cruising to a 3-0 lead and going on to win the game 3-2.
---
Several Plymouth players are missing ahead of Notts’ visit to Home Park. 
Midfielder Carl McHugh and top scorer Jake Jervis were among those who required treatment during the midweek encounter at Yeovil Town and face a race against time to be fit for Saturday.
Striker Tyler Harvey misses out once again with an ankle injury but he is set to return to action in early March.
Notts midfielder Stanley Aborah has been left out of the squad recently, but is hoping to be involved this time, while Scot Bennett has missed the last three games with injury and will be checked on before the squad travels.

Northampton continue their seemingly inevitable march to League One but who will join them and what about the teams fighting to hold on to their Football League status?
Once again the fixture list for Saturday and Tuesday has thrown up some interesting games, the results of which will help clarify how the final League Two table will look.
This week I've highlighted five games from another busy week and probably for the last time this season I've made Notts' the key games.

My first game sees 5th placed Wimbledon trying to follow up their 1–0 victory over Carlisle. They host 3rd placed Oxford on 58 points and who also won 4–1 away at 14th placed Exeter on Tuesday.
My second game is a basement battle between bottom club Dagenham and Redbridge playing 3rd from bottom Yeovil who are only just outside a relegation place on goal difference, having changed places with York who lost 1–2 at home to tabletoppers Northampton last Tuesday.
Next I've got 20th placed Newport hoping to pull away from the lower end of League Two hosting 6th placed Mansfield who in turn are trying to keep in the play off places.
Then I've got 8th placed Portsmouth on 49 points up against 11th placed Cambridge who are only two points behind on 47 points.
Lastly I've picked another clash between two more playoff hopefuls featuring 9th placed Wycombe on 49 points playing Bristol Rovers who are two places higher at 7th and  with 50 points, only one point better off.
My Key Games
On Saturday Notts, who have now slipped down to 16th with 39 points are away at 2nd placed Plymouth who have 61 points. Argyle beat Notts 2–0 at Meadow Lane back in October.
On Tuesday Notts are at home to Dagenham and Redbridge. The Daggers are at 24th and bottom of League Two. They have lost 5, drawn 1 and only won 2 of their last ten matches. The reverse fixture was a 1–1 draw last September.
I don't hold out much hope for Notts on Saturday and have predicted a 2–0 defeat. However Tuesday's game gives Notts another chance to climb the table but I think It's already too late and Magpie fans may be looking anxiously at the wrong end of the table after these next round of games. I really hope I'm wrong.
Don't forget to register and join in with the Pride of Nottingham.

Notts County manager Jamie Fullarton has decided to focus on the positives from his side’s game at Accrington Stanley as they travel to Plymouth Argyle at the weekend.
The Magpies were beaten 3-2 at the Crown Ground in midweek, though their performance was arguably better than the one that saw them lose at home to Leyton Orient last weekend.
Despite upheaval off the pitch, with Ray Trew stepping down as chairman and putting the club up for sale, the Scot will be attempting to ensure his squad's focus remains firmly on the football.
"I think you have got to have a combination of results with performance and we've got to strive to have both," said Fullarton.
"As you can tell I'm never happy not winning the game, but there is a token of positivity to come from the performance and particularly against a team that is in the top three in the league.
“Obviously [Accrington] are in the league position that they are because of what they've done over the course of the season.
"For us to go there and give ourselves an uphill task, being 2-0 down at half-time, I thought our reaction was a positive one and something that we'll take from the game.
"Obviously when we're 3-2 down and got momentum, and playing with that belief, we're looking to get something from a game, which we felt on the second half we should have."

Nottinghamshire-based businessman and Notts County fan Alan Hardy has reportedly been identified as a serious bidder to take over the Meadow Lane club after Ray Trew stepped down as chairman and put the club up for sale.
Hardy, the owner of The Nottinghamshire Golf, Hotel & Country Club and chief executive of Nottingham-based group Paragon, is believed to have been in ongoing discussions with the club for several weeks about a takeover at the club.
Trew cited the 'foul, mindless abuse' he and his family have been subjected to from fans in recent weeks as a reason for his decision, described as being made "in light of recent events".
He paid Peter Trembling £1 for the Magpies six years ago, taking on more than £1.5mi in debts in the process, and watched his side win the League Two title at the end of his first season in charge.
In the letter, which was posted on Notts' official website, Trew wrote: "It is with very mixed emotions that I announce the end of my tenure as chairman of Notts County Football Club, as I put the club up for sale, having re-evaluated my position in light of recent events.
"I must start by stressing that this is not me backing away from a challenge. I do not do that and, indeed, if I'd have wanted to I would have done so some time ago because it has been a difficult journey at times.
"However, when my family are subjected to kind of foul, mindless abuse that they have been in recent days - both in person and courtesy of the oh so brave keyboard warriors - regardless of whether this is just the minority ruining it for the larger supporter base, I have to make changes.
"That said, whilst I have a somewhat bad taste in my mouth from the vitriol spouted by some, I do not walk away lingering on any negativity but instead will take with me the many happy memories that I have accrued from my time at Meadow Lane."
Notts are 16th in League Two having been relegated last season, and appointed Jamie Fullarton as manager in January following the sacking of Ricardo Moniz.
