Good point @theAnticlough I was there at that game

Me too @Piethagoram, Sirrel stand, upper level towards the Kop. Mac was such a brave, whole-hearted player, but it was never the same after that.

If I knew what was going to happen, I’d go back a few years before 1997 and invest in stocks and businesses that would make me wealthy. Once I had the money, I’d buy Notts County and keep putting funds into the club to help it grow.

I’d make sure the chairman was someone who truly understands the club and its history. I might even ask Les Bradd to take on a role where he oversees things, helping guide the club in the right direction. I’d want the staff to be set up in a way that matches how modern football works, even before it became the norm. Planning ahead like that could give the club a real advantage.

My aim would be to follow a path like Fulham’s, rising from the third tier all the way to the Premier League. But I think it’s vital that the club keeps hold of people who feel a strong connection to it. That sense of identity matters just as much as success.

Dijkstra's own goal at the Baseball Ground

Yes that would be my destination in a Time Machine, 19th April 1994, I’d stand behind Mick Walker in the dugout and shout to him to sub Dijkstra for Johnson before he could head into his own goal over Cherry’s head, making the result 1-1 when we were comfortable with seconds left in the game.

The result saw Derby get in the playoffs instead of us. If we’d got in the playoffs who knows what might of happened F*rest were promoted automatically we could have joined them in the top tier.

@Fan of Big Tone I was living and working in Stockport at the time. It was a long journey back, a game we should have won

21) Mick Waitt's flick on for David Hunt to score v Spurs ,ref unbelievably gave a foul against Mick. Pre match headline in The Sun ( Waitt-watching) 🙃

22) A "Sliding Door" moment to keep and cherish.... Substitution of Slocombe with Mair at Wembley. (Slocombe had never saved a penalty for #Notts)

Wouldn't it be tempting to give a sports betting book, like what Biff had, to someone like Derek Pavis?

He could have invested years of funding into Notts, making us a more established team at the top level. You never know, he could have done what Jack Walker did for Blackburn Rovers. It would have rewritten much of what I had experienced growing up supporting the club, but no doubt other achievements might have come our way such as a League or FA Cup win.

Maybe even a Premier League title or two.
