Great write up Joe, congratulations to everyone who took part I can't wait to see Jimmy and Jacks statue at the Lane.
-
I've just caught up with this it's a great article Super Ram, very informative, thanks for taking the time to write these. @notts-joe I love the picture of our cup winning team, it seems moustaches were popular in those days.

What a lovely story, it's great to get the kids involved with Notts and making it a true family club, I am hoping to take my grandson to some matches next season although he is not one to sit still for very long. Hopefully one day he will become interested enough to feature in one of these articles about Junior Magpies. He has learnt the wheelbarrow song (not hard) although he has never been to a match. P.S. Well done Mike Edwards what a great bloke, I wish he'd have stayed at Notts.

Hi Super Ram I am enjoying these articles keep them coming, it's very interesting to read the history of the game. Perhaps we should go back to the days when in one half we play with our rules in the other half play with opposition rules. Just don't tell them that our rules include a opposition goal which stretches the width of the pitch and then change it normal at half time.

Well written and interesting article, I particularly like the phrase "Conversely, we can neither expect more investment from the top, something Trew has ruled out more times than a monorail." That made me laugh. Thanks James

Thanks to Lynn for giving us an insight into Lifeline, as a member of many years I can heartily recommend it to anyone who has the interests of the club at heart, forget the National Lottery YOU WON'T WIN THAT but you might win Lifeline and at the same time you will be helping the club you love. You know it makes sense, join today.

I recommend anyone who has the club's interests at heart to join Lifeline, forget the National Lottery you are never going to win that, join Lifeline and help the club you love and at the same time have a chance to win something yourself.

When I was younger me and my mate used to practice corners down the Trent Embankment near where we lived. I always remember telling him to "stick it on my Hateley" so I could pretend to be Tony and power it into the net with my head. Also remember singing "Have we told you lately Hateley that we love you" at the Lane.

My all time favourite player, as you can tell from my username. Thanks for this brilliant write up, I can remember when Big Tone "came back home", what an atmosphere there was at Meadow Lane that day against Northampton, 21,000 in the fourth tier! What we'd give for half that attendance now.
-
An interesting read, thanks Super Ram. I wonder what those people who played mob football would think if they saw the premiership players of today. Looking forward to the next instalment.
-
When Joe asked me to take part I told him my memory was rubbish and I would probably disgrace myself, I was right. Lol. I enjoyed taking part though, I look forward to a bit of a ribbing from Magpiejue at the next home game.
-
Sorry to hear you were disheartened after the fans forum Joe. If that is the case with other fans also then it is a shame because it is an opportunity lost by the club to galavanise the fans and to give them hope for next season and maybe even encourage them to buy season tickets. I remember going to a fans forum a few years back and I came back feeling great and full of hope for the future, that's how it should be.
-
You wait till I see Super Ram. Well done magpiejue, a worthy winner, I hope you didn't call on your mum for help. :-)
-
Boo, Magpieju beat me, I'll never live it down. :-( Legend?? More like Leg End Lol
-
What lovely memories, I hope to take my Grandson to the Lane when he's older, he's 4 at the moment and we've got a great relationship already. I'm sure your Grandad would be proud of you as you are of him.
-
I like reading other fans views too, keep them coming and I wouldn't mind answering some questions in the future.

This is really good being able to read Ray's comments, thanks to Ray and of course Joe for making it possible.
