Lots of Notts changes for the last 30 minutes.

The match begins.

What a great story of dedication to your favourite club. I'm saddened to learn that her cancer has returned, but it is so heartening that she has lots of support. I do hope that her fresh treatment is effective & it will reduce her discomfort.

Here's your Notts starting eleven.

I met my first wife at the Palais in Nottingham in early 1975. The live group were playing the Bachman Turner Overdrive song "You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet" There are lots of things you forget in your lifetime, but you never forget a first meeting like that. The song has always been one of my favourites. Those were very happy memories. Sadly our marriage didn't last, however our legacy together are three wonderful children, & now with three grandchildren.

Your Wednesday Weather 4cast.

Chelsea have made it to the final of the Club World Cup in the United States.

So MPs have voted to back the Football Governance Bill and establish an independent regulator to oversee the men's game in England's top five divisions . Thie Bill is set to become law now, & I think it will be great for English football. Hopefully this new independent regulator will prevent the possibility of the sad situations that clubs like Bury & Macclesfield found themselves in when those original clubs went out of business. I'm not saying that the Football Regulator will prevent every single club from getting into financial trouble in the short term, but once the Regulator is in post & gets established, the instances of clubs going into receivership should reduce over time & hopefully will disappear altogether.

You have made an important point @menzinho about Traoré being able to travel but not Jatta. Traoré played for a Norwegian club prior to him coming to Notts. Jatta played for a Danish Club, so it is strange that one was allowed & the other not. All I can think is there must be something else that prevented him going.

It's sad that Jatta hasn't been able to go, but the B team will benefit that's for sure. I've already seen the negative speculation on social media, which isn't surprising. We all know how Jatta will play anyway so it will be an opportunity for Traore & Dennis to show what they can do without Jatta in the side.

I do like the new kit. I think it will sell very well. It may not be to everyone's taste though, & I take @DangerousSausage point that it does look like a keeper's shirt.

A hosepipe ban has been declared by Yorkshire Water due to the dry spring & summer.The ban will be effective from 11th July. It is very possible that the other Water Companies will follow suit.

Looks like we are getting Heatwave number three this weekend.
