For notts, its not just about going down.. its also about holding onto the "oldest league club" title. Not to mention the attraction for players and managers to join.

To be relegated would finalcaly wrong and really distory Notts which would take away our “oldest league club” which proudly on display we can’t loose that. 

Relagation means the loss of it and financial ruin which isn’t right the fans deserve better. 

Just add...... WE USED TO BE.... to the statement on the Stand....

We're the oldest professional football club in the world and would remain so. Claiming to be the oldest Football League club in the world is nonsensical as the Football League is an English league.

All the same I'd prefer it if we took that sign down. It's been downhill ever since we put it up, maybe it angers the football gods or something. It reminds me of Hamburger SV in Germany - the only club to boast unbroken membership of the Bundesliga since its foundation, they even had a clock showing the amount of time they'd been in the (first) Bundesliga, right down to the second. Sure enough they got relegated last season and had to stop their clock!

Kristian Dennis is now on for 3 consecutive relegations, surely got to be cursed. Get him shipped out along with the sign!

I just think personally having that is something for us as fans to be proud of and say yes we are magpies I understand we clunged to it for a while so the football gods may be slightly annoyed. 

 but for now safety that’s we need it would be nice achieve safety hope the football gods can hear us . 

I have seen the team you mentioned with the clock it a bit of a fo par with it I trust they have taken it down.? 

 

@menzinho Definitely, and we need a club exorcist too! Chesterfield are on for a third consecutive relegation, so maybe it's time we stopped signing their players.

@Magic magpie They changed the clock to show the time since their foundation in 1887, which is dull but not as humiliating as having a stopped clock for at least a season. The story used to make me chuckle but now it feels a bit close to home somehow.

I tell  you something seeing that dose mean it is very close to home and having to stop the clock for a season means we may have to take it down .. I see your point indeed not good at all and now very close to home.

I was there when it had to stop. We Gladbach fans brought our own clock counting down to when HSV’s had to stop.

Total hubris and we're going the same way.

We will have to wait and see unfortunetly, but we can only hope that we manage to escape it again. We don't have the fight we had all the other seasons though.
