    Paying small and realistic fees for good players is only a positive thing. If we recruit wisely it can be money well spent - rather than solely focusing on free agents who roam around clubs from time to time and don't really care.

    I'm more interested in the FA Cup myself and the opening league game, the EFL cup and League Cup aren't really an interest t me. Nice to see the play-off final date released but I hope we don't require it.

    It was very saddening to learn about his death, as I mentioned in the forum - I was hoping it wasn't true. However, his legacy will live on and thanks to Derek we have a great stadium which can be modernised quite easily if we was ever to return to the Championship. I hope we use this season as a way to pay respect to various lost people from the Notts community. Rest in Peace Derek Pavis.

    It will be a gamble financially but at least the focus is on local businesses, lets face it we missed out a good thing with Ladbrookes and really this provide us a way to move forward - there won't be many companies willing to spend a large some to sponsor a shirt no matter what team it is. This is a good idea to combat that.

    I was surprised by the lack of information found on this great man once upon a time, I tried to write a piece on the winners of the FA Cup about 4 years ago and there was literally nothing online. Thankfully there's been a lot of effort made to preserve the interest in his long lasting memory and due to that more information can be found. No doubt one of the best Alumni pieces though Joe, you have done us proud here! Rest in Peace James Logan.

    I thought he gave an excellent interview, his answers seemed genuine and it actually seemed like he prides himself on how well he plays. [emoji122]

    More information about "Lewis Alessandra: 'my instincts told me I will be successful at Notts County'"
    Notts County's latest signing Lewis Alessandra feels his instincts told him he will be successful with Notts after he became the clubs second signing of the summer. The Magpies secured the services of the wide-man from Hartlepool United on a two-year deal after fending off serious competition from Port Vale and successfully agreeing terms for a five-figure fee for his services. Alessandra says he is also keen to experience success at the club and believes he has found the right club in order to fulfil his ambitions. "We've just got to start the season well and go from there, you don't want to be playing catch-up." "If you can keep the good players fit then you never know what can happen. If you look at Notts' form since the gaffer came in then you'd like to think we can do well." "But I am at an age now where I am 28 and want to be successful." "That was probably one of the main reasons why I came here because my instinct told me that I will be successful here." Notts County still target Forest playmaker Jorge Grant as a summer recruit, with Magpies' chairman Alan Hardy stating his desire to see Grant return to Meadow Lane.

    I'll be there at both the home games, will try to get to most of these. Once the league fixtures come out in June, I'm sorting out which away games I will be making.

    More information about "Notts County complete the signing of Lewis Alessandra for an undisclosed fee"
    Notts County announced the signing of former Hartlepool United winger Lewis Alessandra for an undisclosed fee The 28-year-old arrived at the Pools from Rochdale last summer and became a permanent fixture on the wing scoring nine goals in the 2016-17 season despite Pools' relegation to the National League. A graduate of Oldham Athletic's academy, the skilful forward - who scored a number of stunners during the last campaign had attracted interest from a number of clubs. However, Magpies boss Kevin Nolan has won the race for his signature and he now becomes Notts' second signing of the summer following the arrival of Lincoln’s Terry Hawkridge. Alessandra, who has signed for Notts on a two-year contract, told the club: "What happened at my former club last year was very disappointing." "I was gutted but I knew I still wanted to play league football, so when the chance arose I grabbed it with both hands." He continued to add, "I don’t think I would have come here if I didn’t think we had a shot at doing well next season." His departure to Meadow Lane comes on the same day that Hartlepool United Welsh Premier League winning-boss Craig Harrison their new manager.

    More information about "Notts County eye Lewis Alessandra has their second signing of the summer"
    Notts County are reportedly closing in on Lewis Alessandra who is set to have a medical with the club. The Magpies' may have fought off competition from Port Vale for the Hartlepool United winger, who is set to become the second signing of the summer at Meadow Lane according to The Post. Vale had reportedly shown interest in Alessandra, yet it is understood that the attacking wide-man is now set to undergo a medical on Friday after Notts successfully reached an agreement over a fee with Hartlepool. Notts owner Alan Hardy has allegedly stumped up a five-figure fee for the 28-year-old, who impressed for Pools last season despite their relegation to the National League. Although Alessandra can play upfront as a striker, he regularly featured on the right wing for Pools last season where he impressed largely with his performances in League Two. Alessandra scored nine goals and created another nine which led to significant interest, but is now expected to sign for Kevin Nolan after the Notts manager expressed a desire to add more of a goal threat. Notts have also signed Terry Hawkridge from Lincoln City earlier this month.

    We should forge closer connections with any local club not just Forest but also Derby, Peterborough, Birmingham, Aston Villa etc. Yet I have nothing against working more closely with them across the river, at the end of the day we can provide them with a local way of sending out their youngsters in order to see how good they really are. Why send a player miles away and then be forced to send a scout or someone to watch them? We have this in our favour, so if they sign Jorge Grant on a 3-year-deal - at least they know we can loo after him.

    I think the pitch is a bit of a luxury really for League Two. Don't get me wrong, I understand the reasons but we need to have players who can play on a good service. We struggle to find players who can play without complaining that the standard is poor throughout League Two. Also, Dean Leacock said he could never adapt from playing at Meadow Lane in comparison to the training facilities that England uses. At the end of the day professionals should be able to play on any service, so I would hope that they at least appreciate the 100k investment. Perhaps when we have a team who just look ahead to playing and are eager to take the field at grounds like Newport, Morecambe and Stevenage we may gain promotion successfully.

    It will be nice to finally have this at hand, so full focus can be on the target of achieving the play-offs. Hopefully we can just enjoy the season ahead without any more bumps or turmoil. COYP!

    That makes sense with the rewards coming from gate recipes. What happens to the money generated via the play-off final? Is that included in the 200-350k quote or does the Football League collect it due to the venue fees etc. Just something I find genuinely interesting. Thank you for taking the time to reply.
