Over the last 20 years, Notts County have changed managers more times than any other team in the Premier League and Football League.
Since 1997, the Magpies have had 23 different permanent bosses at the helm, two ahead of Crystal Palace who are on 19, Press Association Sport has found.
What do you make of being top of this dubious table?
What an excellent reward we got for beating Brizzle, a home tie against Oxford City.ย ย We couldn't have hoped for a much better draw than that, not only TV potential but a great chance to be in round 3. Not counting any chickens as they did win at Colchester at the weekend and the Salford City debacle still hurts, but overall an excellent draw.
What portable music device did you enjoy way back in the day?
I used to have a tape player that I listened to all the time when I was much younger, I used to record the radio on a tape and then listen to it on my tape player. I preferred tapes over CD's due to being able to carry a couple, whereas CD's you didn't really want to bring many or any spare with you (at least as a kid/young teen). When CD's became more mainstream I still preferred tapes, though the quality of music was much better on CD - the fact they'd skip became quite annoying.
Then Sony made their infamous 'Mini Disc Player Walkman', god I loved this! The music quality was awesome, the size of the mini discs was perfect.
Then came along MP3 Players (with higher storage) and then mobile phones took over completely.
Which did you enjoy back in the day? Have you ever owned a Mini Disc Player? What did you prefer to listen on the go with?

Is anyone here interested in, or watches crimeย documentaries?
It's something I find very fascinating, although very often quite saddening - it is strangely I find myself interested in watching. I recall watching the FBI Files as a young teen on Channel 5 with @super_ram. Things like Jack Ripper, The Menendez brothers, D.B Cooper and many others - it probably stems from enjoy things like Murder She Wrote, Sherlock Holmes, Columbo.
Just curious if anyone on here watches these types of documentaries? YouTube can be a good source for watching 'em BTW.ย ![]()

disappointed by the lack of performance in the first half but as nolan says you got to respect the point.
stevenage it difficult to play for sure and they used their strikers well, i cant help but feel lucky considering their chances.
I'm also disappointed by the lack of application in the first half, and it did sound like we was considerably lucky at times not be stirring down at a defeat. Though I am delighted with the point which happened through hard work, its just one of those things which we can be thankful for because we still sit in a good position - previously this kind of result would have more concern but I guess we are writing our own luck at the minute.
Stevenage clearly did their home work, so I just hope we learn to be quicker to assert our own presence over the opposition and take time to be more alert at the back (as it sounded quite poor at times).
This month has some decent fixtures, it's just a shame this result wasn't better for that reason.
It's a good point when you think about the possible outcome.
I do understand the frustration mentioned before me, we was poor in the first half but Nolan corrected this within the second half. It just goes to show that the old saying that its a game of two halves bares true. We also had a number of fantastic efforts within the second half, so either team could have won.
Okay, this can come from any league or period within the history of football and belong to any club (so it doesn't have to be Notts related)ย - I just want you to name three players that you like and a further 3 more that you don't! GO......
Like:
1:ย Georginio Wijnaldum - Just a very good player that is humble due to his roots.
2: Tony Adams - Childhood icon for me and one of the best English defenders ever.
3: Steven Gerrard - It's hard not to like Stevie, he's great around children and is a fantastic role model to all.
Don't Like:
1: Messi - I just can't stand him, very arrogant and his public image a way from football needs some major work.
2: Roy Keane - Absolute idiot, but I respect him for being honest. I just can't stand him and I think he's both overrated and underrated at the same time.
3: Joey Barton - It's very rarely that I don't feel like slapping Joey after reading his comments, the guys just a complete tool.
You?

Time for something different ... which is the ugliest club badge you know?
For me the winner is Lincoln City. Hideous, but then maybe that's the point of it:

From Sky Sports News:
All 72 EFL clubs have agreed to implement three-year bans for supporters found using smoke bombs, flares and fireworks in a bid to โput an end to the dangerous use of pyrotechnicsโ.
The clubs have signed up to a new Chairman's Charter looking to stop the use of any pyrotechnics within EFL stadiums amid concerns for supporter safety.
Fans could face consequences if they attempt to take a banned item into a ground or if they are found to have discharged pyrotechnics within a stadium.
Are you pleased about this rule coming into place?

Notts County have been knocked out of the EFL Trophy thanks to last night's 2-1 defeat at Lincoln.
And I'm glad. Obviously I don't like to see Notts lose any game, but being knocked out of that farcical competition is a massive relief.
Would you have liked to see Notts go as far as they could or are you happy to be out of it?

14 minutes ago, Who r ya?? You Pies!! said:Quality performance some truly outstanding football played , best performance for years , well done Notts , Kevin Nolan's black and white army , COYPย
Agreed, brilliant game and a brilliant performance, also a great atmosphere created by the smallish crowd. We were all over the place defensively in the first 10 minutes but kept battling, and created enough chances to have gone in ahead at half time. Every player gave their all, there wasn't a single poor performer in black and white. Great stuff Notts, best tenner I've spent in ages.
very promising win, I'm delighted by the comments expressed to me and from what I have seen shared on social media.
It sounds like we played very well once we re-grouped.
Oxford City is also a decent Non-League tie which I can see being on TV, which Meadow Lane is perfect for!

In a recent interview with the Post, Nolan joked about being out of shape, not being able to play for Notts, and despite stepping up his training, showing no willingness to do so.
Do you think Nolan should at the very least aim for a few minutes on the pitch, maybe later on in the season, or are you happy seeing him leave it all to the full-time players?

Going through the interweb I came across this image which baffled me to say the least.
Notts County branded cola?

Can anyone shed light on this? Did Notts release their own brand of cola, or is this just the print of cup that they poured drinks into?

I think Kevin Nolan will still give some of the fringe/reserve players a chance.
However, I suspect he will go with a strong midfield and front line up top. Perhaps 4 of them will be lucky to make the squad? If things go wrong, it could backfire. Fans are already annoyed and a weak team would suggest to those with concerns that we haven't taken the cup seriously. This is why we need to win regardless, plus it lifts the camp - it might not be on par with the Bristol win but it will be good none the less.
I hope we rest the entire first team, and suffer a narrow loss with no injuries or cards.ย Thisย competition has become a sick joke, we should treat it as such and the sooner we exit the better in my opinion.
i think we have to go for it tonight.
failure to do so will only prove the fans who dont attend are right, so why field a weak team? if the money is that important anyway.
As it's Halloween, we thought we'd get into the spirit of the feast by remembering the Notts County players and managers who truly were a cut below the rest.

i know its early but i thought i would get the question out there any way.ย do we need to strengthen in january?
if we do, surely some of the players within the squad need to be released to make room? i do think we need a striker but maybe we can get a way with just that. i cant see notts signing many players, we already have a few loans and liam noble will be available to play in january anyway.
