Notts County Women play their last match of the season at Northampton today. 2pm kick off

Bromley play Solihull in the National League playoff today. Kick off 3pm. 

Two clubs who are hoping to get promoted to the football league for the first time.

My tip is for Bromley to just squeeze over the line, but it would be nice to get another Midlands club like Solihull in the football league.

Seems to tick "comfortable on the ball" criteria

It’s a bank holiday weekend which I know all you working folk will be looking forward to, I know I did  before I retired.

Whats everyone’s plans? No Notts match to go to so what will you be doing instead?

Tomorrow I’ll be doing my usual park run and hoping to beat last weeks time but alas I seem to get slower but we’ll see, my son will be running too so he’ll be at the finish line before me to get me through that last 100 yards.

Later on Saturday we’ll be at our sons for a BBQ, when asked what he wanted to do on Saturday Grandson Fred said “let’s have a BBQ and invite Granny and Grandad” so we are highly honoured and looking forward to it. No doubt some board games will be played.

Not sure yet what Sunday and Monday have in store, how about everyone else? Let us know what you’re up to in this topic.

Without wishing to spark a political mud slinging debate (I’ll lock the thread if it does) I just wondered how many people had bothered to vote today.

We voted by post but as it’s a nice day I wonder if people will turn out.

American owners of English Football League Teams Know Nothing about as they call it Soccer. Prime Example from Today. Birmingham City Football Club, sitting 6th in the Championship in October,  Sack John Eustace and in his place they Hire Wayne Rooney who's never accomplished anything of note in his Management Career, and on the last day of the Season they find themselves Relegated and the Blues are back in League 1 for the first time since 1995. The Birmingham Chairman Tom Wagner admits it was a Mistake to Sack John Eustace. YOU THINK? Typical Yank lets hire somebody that will bring Media Coverage for the Club, for a small amount of time  even though he's a Poor Manager it doesn't matter if he ruins the Club.

Former Notts  Head Coach Luke Williams is also applying his trade under American Ownership at Swansea. What ever you do Luke don't leave the Swans for a better paid job at a bigger Club or like your predecessor you could find yourself being SUED by Swansea's American Owners. Of all the Present Yanks in Charge of English Football League teams Liverpool seem to have managed to have the Best. The Glazers at Manchester United have faced revolts from Fans and they have brought in Sir Jim Ratcliffe a Brit to help steady their rocky ownership. Wrexham also have American owners, but how long will they hang around if the Red Dragons fortunes go South?

Does Memory serve didn't Notts once have an American in charge one time? He made such an Impression I've forgotten his name is this True or did I dream it?  The Rumour that Taylor Swift was interested in buying the Magpies earlier in the season all that would have been is an EGO Trip and you can bet She'd have soon Lost Interest in the Magpies, when they weren't pushing for Promotion All I Can Say We Notts Fans Can Count Ourselves Lucky We've Got Chris And Alex Reedtz.

Sorry @Fan of Big Tone I can't let this nonsense go unchallenged

@Robbie "As for London, it doesn't matter who started ULEZ, Khan has expanded it all over Greater London now,"

The current government made gov't funding to TfL (Transport for London) CONDITIONAL on expansion of ULEZ

So it's a central government decision, imposed on the Mayor of London. 

Congratulations to Ipswich who achieved back to back promotions after being promoted to the Premier League today.

Just a reminder that Notts did the same thing between 1989 & 1991.

Macca spoke to East Midlands News and gave some hope to Notts fans that he will stay.

I for one hope he stays. He wants to get to League I, & so do we.

Experienced defender released by Barrow. Good in the air. George Ray. Could be a good fit for Notts.

Nice to see Boston United back in the National league.

They have beaten Brackley Town 2:1 in the National League North playoff final.

"KINGSTONIAN are facing extinction after being forced from their home by Chelsea".

"The non-league side sold their Kingsmeadow ground to AFC Wimbledon in 2003 for a reported fee of £2.5 million".

"The Dons played at the stadium for several years and won promotion back to the EFL before selling the ground to Chelsea in 2017".

"Wimbledon had ground shared with Kingstonian during that period but Chelsea kicked The K's out of their home to allow their women's team to play there".

"That forced Kingstonian to ground share with other non league clubs including Leatherhead, Corinthians, Tooting & Mitcham and Raynes Park Vale, where they currently play matches".

"The result has been dwindling attendances and growing dissatisfaction amongst the fanbase, as well as relegation from the Isthmian Premier Division this season after 15 years in the division".

https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/27638575/kingstonian-chelsea-afc-wimbledon/

This a very sad situation. One of the big six PL clubs being indirectly involved with a non league club maybe being forced out of existence.

Would be a good option for LCB

For someone like myself, who has been left waiting for MRI scanner appointments over the past few years, this is good news for the people of Nottingham

The lack of investment in the NHS has left waiting lists for MRI scans at unacceptable levels

It would seem that Jim O'Brien has played his Last Game for Notts down the Lane. At 36 it seems Jim as decided to hang up his Boots. Ever since the guy walked through the door at Notts he's given his all and fought like a Warrior and played his part in getting the Magpies back into the Football League. He's spilt blood for the Club remember the Horrific gash he got on his Leg? When a an opposing players studs ripped open a wound on his leg. Remember how he stood up for his fellow players against  Alan Hardy and his non payment of wages?  Fans and fellow Players and the Managers he's played under since his arrival in 2019 owe the Guy a Massive Thankyou. I would ask Chris and Alex find a position within the Club for this Notts Legend to continue his huge positive influence at the Lane.

I thought after Notts Wembley Victory Jim may have decided to hang up his boots then, but being the Guy he is he's stayed on and helped the Magpies secure and consolidate their place in League 2. Jim you're a Hero and a Notts Legend.             JIM O'BRIEN HE'S ONE OF OUR OWN.

The Biggest Question at Notts is will Macca leave the Lane in the Off Season? It seems that he's Happy here at Notts and doesn't want to leave and it's been stated that Notts don't need to sell. Unless of course a  Bid comes in that is to big for Notts turn down. So let's say that Bid comes in and Macca leaves. Who do the Magpies have in reserve? Cedwyn Scott Alassana Jatta David McGoldrick and Junior Morias.  Lets take a look at the Magpies Fire Power.

Cedwyn Scott coming back from a long Term injury and is expected to take over the role of Macca and start scoring goals from the very start of Next Season. The Problem is  it's going to take Ceds time to settle and get back in his scoring groove and the Notts playing System and gaining back his confidence in front of Goal. I believe Stuart Maynard could have done more for the Striker by giving him more minutes in the Last two games of Notts season. Even if it was only the first 45 minutes and had taken him off at half time after playing him along side Macca and Not replacing him. Don't expect 20+ goals from Ceds this coming season 10-15 may be all we can hope for.

Alassana Jatta Big Big Big things are expected from this guy and in his Short time at the Lane he's impressed 5 goals and 1 assist, however since he's been injured very little communication regarding his injury has come from the Club.  And the question must be Why? It seems very strange. Providing every thing is Hunky Dory lets hope he can carry on in his scoring vein and hit the 20 goal target but don't be surprised if he doesn't, that will depend on how he handles the Pressure put on him should Macca leave.

David McGoldrick. Didzy I would think will be very disappointed with his season at Notts even though he hit the back of the net 12 times. After a Stella season at Derby scoring 22 goals in the League above Notts last year much  the same goal wise was hoped for this season, it would seem as with other Notts players his form dropped off after the departure of Luke Williams, plus he may have played with an injury and Fatigue may have also played a part in his dip in form. If he can get into double figures next season it will be a Bonus.

Junior Morias injury seems to have played a big part of his time at the Lane and only 1 goal to show in his 8 appearances means he's way down the Pecking order at Notts he'll either be sold or loaned out during next season.
