The first minutes of Wembley saw Sam Slocombe single handedly hand Chesterfield the initiative. From double kicking a goal kick to giving away the penalty ( I believe 6 years since he last saved a penalty)
Step up Archie Mair... quite quite brilliant
Boreham Wood's emergency loan keeper, Joe McDonnell (ex Notts) and ex Notts Fitzsimons yesterday... had Boreham Wood's #1 keeper been in place, Nathan Ashmore, we might never have got to Wembley
Football... such fine margins

How do you cope with being a Notts County fan in a city dominated by Forest fans?
Being a Notts County fan in a city dominated by Forest fans can be challenging. Throughout school, most people I knew supported Forest or whichever Premier League club was doing well at the time. Usually, Chelsea, Manchester City, Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal.
I can recall wearing my Notts shirts around the city when we were in League One and hardly having any negative experiences. It seemed like a time when Nottingham embraced Notts from a Nottingham Forest perspective. However, when we were relegated to League Two, we became a constant laughingstock and that seemed to break any acceptance by Forest fans. Quickly returned the annoying banter and idiots calling out why a Notts fan would be walking around their own city. Even some glory-hunting Premier League fans at times would say how poor Notts were. It was a truly depressing time, made worse by Alan Hardy and our relegation to the National League.
Have you had similar experiences as a Notts County fan in a city dominated by Forest fans? How do you cope with the banter and negative comments?
I have attended the pre-season friendly between Forest, and it wasn’t that bad. I think because we are doing okay, their fans can’t think of much to say, especially with their own situation. I also went to the League Cup game, in which we lost on penalties, which was a very joyous occasion.
Have you attended any matches between Notts County and Forest? What was your experience like?
My advice to fans would be to give as good as you get. If a Forest fan treats you with respect, treat them the same. If they give banter, try to give it back provided they are not thugs! At the end of the day, wear our colours with pride!
Do you have any advice for other Notts County fans living in a city dominated by Forest fans?

After 45 rounds and so many twists and turns it's a wonder it hasn't got its own Netflix series, this is it - the final round. We're all battling for positions, but we still have two players in contention for this season's star prize (once I've found it down my sofa) and an eternal place in the prediction league hall of fame. The League Two fixtures below kick off at the frankly crazy time of 11.30am on 8 May, with the Championship following at 2.00pm. So get your predictions in before then, and remember your jokers 
Full disclosure: the timing of this last round isn't great as I'm off to The Hague on holiday (no, I'm not being sent there for crimes to counting prediction league points). However, I will announce the winner on Monday at the very least, with the full results to follow ASAP.
Good luck everyone!
Huddersfield Town v Reading
Millwall v Blackburn Rovers
Middlesbrough v Coventry City

Bradford City v Leyton Orient

What are some of the funniest or weirdest things you've seen or experienced at a Notts County game?
Notts County games are always full of excitement and surprises. I’ve seen some pretty funny and weird things happen during the games. Here are a couple of my favourite moments:
A while back, an assistant referee sprinting along the sideline slipped and toppled to the ground. There was an extensive delay as everyone checked to make sure he was okay. Both sets of fans started chanting ‘she fell over’ (I know it’s not very politically correct in this day and age) and making comments about diving.
Another memorable moment was when the Dagenham & Redbridge keeper, Elliot Justham, tried to provoke the KOP by making gestures into the crowd. Some fans didn’t take kindly to this and told him exactly what they thought. Justham just continued to slow down his goal kicks, which only made the fans more frustrated. It was amusing to see just how much the officials let him get away with.
These are just a couple of examples of the funny and weird things that can happen at Notts County games. What are some of your favourite moments?

Ok so I'm a forest fan. But I cant be more delighted to see Notts back in the football league.
For Notts to finish on 107 points and not get promoted would of been a travesty.
Overall the 2 best teams in the league got promoted.
Promotion is more important than performance, but Notts didn’t put in a terrible display.
A lot of it can be attributed to nerves and not adjusting quickly enough to Chesterfield’s fast attacks. They pushed Notts and the defenders couldn’t find much space. Good teams in League Two will find ways to close us down, so it’s clear that we need to focus on this area.
I thought Archie Mair’s saves were superb for a young keeper. He kept his cool and did remarkably well.
Seeing the celebrations unfold on the pitch brought back happy memories of the 90s. It was great to see the players finally relax and laugh it off.
I went to the semi final at Meadow Lane with my family, that game was so nerve racking but thoroughly enjoyable. I really wanted to go to Wembley but my son and family were away on holiday so I had no one to go with (Billy no mates) which is a shame because being realistic it’s possibly the last time I’ll get the chance at my age. However I watched on the telly with Mrs. Fan of Big Tone, what a match it was and it was fantastic to see our fans celebrating at the end I was so jealous. The result brought me to tears I was so emotional to see us return to the league.
What a master stroke by Luke Williams to bring on young Archie Mair, those penalty saves were tremendous.
I can’t wait until next season.
