so the record is lost when a new team is promoted that the club has not played? what is the purpose of it then??? surely the record should stand but accredited to the season, then becomes reactivated when new numbers come in the efl. otherwise, it means very little when some obscure team is promoted from the national league which is highly unlikely for a bigger team to play.

i am pleased for notts, but the record means nothing if by next season its wiped until we play the newly promoted teams if we haven't won them already.

does national league games count? what about cup ties? it seems like one of those records nobody has put much thought into but love to throw about being of how difficult it is to achieve. plus when you have been in the lowest tier for so long, but have been around as long as notts you are bound to be in the running to do all 91.

Ahem. Notts currently hold this record, so it is incredibly important and meaningful 😁

Of course it's an advantage if you're in L2 or L1 as you have the chance to play and beat league newbies. At the minute, only the 27 teams that have played Bromley come into question.

If you want to see a really pointless football record, have a look at the unofficial world football club championship. They picked the first ever FA Cup game in which a goal was scored in 1872 and crowned the winners, Clapham Rovers, "world champion". Then it works like boxing - they hold it until they're beaten, and then the team that beats them is the new champion. The current champions are Chelsea. https://www.stevesfootballstats.uk/ufcc_full_results_2020_-_2030.html

It's a strong record to hold, and it shows things are improving compared to the start of the season. Hopefully, more meaningful awards and achievements will follow soon. It’s a good sign that progress is being made.

This is history for the club and for our fans. It makes me proud to support Notts every week.

its like giving a medal to someone who finishes last. we might have won all the teams in the 91 now, but in the future when newer teams come in it will mean nothing. like it does exist. it would mean more if it was recorded as the first time and year, then followed up the second or whatever time.

@liampie, this season is about achieving something special by beating Fleetwood Town. We now join Port Vale and a few past teams who have beaten all 91 professional league clubs from the Premier League to League Two.

It is an achievement to be proud of, much like visiting all 91 grounds, and it means a great deal to the fans.
