Thanks for your kind comments @NottsCountyKev.I have some fantastic football memories of both DCFC and NCFC ,with both successful and disastrous seasons, and a few scandals thrown in.I hope the future will be kind to both clubs this season and beyond.

More like Laurel and Hardy or The Chuckle Brothers.

Thank you @magpiejue,I hope you and all your family are keeping well.

Thank you for your comments @KingWilliams,very much appreciated. Unfortunately there are some less than pleasant so called Rams fans I've encountered over the years but every club has idiots,don't they? Thanks again.

Your lovely comments are very much appreciated @lambleypie,thank you very much.

Things have changed a lot since I started work @Joshua. Can you imagine opposition fans not being segregated nowadays. There was far more tolerance of rival teams back then.I even stood in the Trent end at that unmentionable ground for a friendly once but was moved before any trouble happened by a 'nice' steward.

Thank you @allardyces tash ,your comments mean a lot and are very much appreciated.I always enjoy and look forward to your posts too.Thanks again.

Thanks @Fan of Big Tone(I can't get used to your first name,it reminds me of my cousin and biscuits)

Oh dear @CliftonMagpie I'm going to have to reprimand you for not reading the article properly..My Meadow Lane visit was in Division 2 season 1957/58.The Rams were promoted the previous season,1956/57 and my FIRST Rams game was a Division 3 North game in the 1955/56 season. I do like the idea of a whip-round for a proper football shirt as the Rams Megastore has an offer going at this. very moment.Put on your dunces cap and join @Fan of Big Tone and the other jokers in the corner. My turn for leg pulling. Seriously, I'm Pleased you enjoyed the article.

Just to confirm @TheSkipper,the Meadow Lane visit was my first away game.To make it worse for the Rams,Notts had a player sent off and Notts still won.Thanks for the good wishes.

I;m glad you liked it @liampie.If you ever watched Corrie ,can you imagine a slimmer and younger version of Fred Elliott,well 'our Stan' was very like him.He used to make @GrannyPie laugh a lot ,especially when telling tales of me when younger.

We'll have to see about that,perhaps when DCFC aren't playing and it's not too hot,cold,windy or wet.

I entered out of desperation and it was accepted,but was wrong.

Don't laugh but I think it was CISCO .I had tried all kinds of possible combinations and as I said it felt like my brain was about to explode.I almost gave up.

Wordle 768 5/6 ????⬜????⬜⬜ ????⬜???????????? ????????????⬜???? ⬜???????????????? ???????????????????? My brain nearly exploded after third go but so easy after fourth.Well done @Ohh Tommy Johnson

Wordle 767 5/6 ⬜⬜???????????? ????????????????⬜ ⬜????????????⬜ ⬜????????????⬜ ???????????????????? Well done @Fan of Big Tone With a bit of luck I'd have got it in two as well but I don't like bragging.

Wordle 766 4/6 ⬜????⬜⬜???? ????????????⬜⬜ ⬜????????????⬜ ???????????????????? Could have been worse.

Wordle 765 3/6 ????⬜⬜⬜⬜ ????⬜⬜⬜???? ???????????????????? I was struggling again after another poor start, due to trying to be clever with first word, and suddenly another eureka moment.

And not @Fan of Big Tone I'll be having my attempt after Tesco delivery.

I used to live about 5 minutes from the ground @liampie I went to their first game in 1959 when 2 other Alfreton teams merged.I went most games until I was old enough to go to Derby without an adult.

Wordle 764 3/6 ⬜????????⬜⬜ ⬜????????⬜⬜ ???????????????????? Yes much better @Fan of Big Tone

That's what I thought but didn't want to jump to the wrong conclusion. So referring to my comment about expecting a lot of opposition teams using this tactic ,this game was exactly what Luke Williams wanted.He will have to try and work out how to beat stubborn defences .Great planning.

Can anyone answer my question? Did Boston play ultra defensively ? I ask because i'm expecting a lot of teams to 'park the bus ' and try to frustrate Notts this coming season..

Wordle 762 5/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ ????⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜????????⬜⬜ ????????⬜????⬜ ???????????????????? Very poor start,really struggled today.

Wordle 761 3/6 ⬜⬜????⬜⬜ ⬜???????????????? ???????????????????? A good 2nd choice today and could have taken another go but for correct 3rd choice.
