New figures released by the FA show that Notts County are paid the fourth-highest amount of money in agent fees over the last year, the total standing at £76,426.

Indeed, four Midlands clubs make up the top four - Coventry City top (£113,620), Mansfield Town second (£85,940), Chesterfield third (£80,477) and then Notts.

What do you make of this news?

With the season coming to an end, the EFL have announced most of their yearly award nominations, as well as naming their teams of the season.

Unfortunately, Notts County haven't got one player in the League Two team of the season, nor have any players been nominated for the player of the season award.

Here is the League Two POTS shortlist:

Adebayo Akinfenwa (Wycombe), Mohamed Eisa (Cheltenham), Billy Kee (Accrington Stanley)

And this is the team of the season:

Do you buy/receive Easter eggs? We only buy for our grandchildren one large one each and some small ones for an Easter egg hunt. We don’t buy our grown up son one and we don’t receive any.

Our daughter in laws family always buy the adults Easter eggs too, she buys one for her mother and her grown up brother and receives one from each of them.

Ross Fitzsimons!

I know some people are fed up with hearing KN say this but to be honest I agree with him. I’ve been a supporter for over 50 years so I’ve just about seen everything. We’ve had a fantastic season when we went into the top three expectations were raised and now some people are showing their disappointment and frustration that we’ve dipped in form but I can’t understand the constant criticism on twitter and Facebook. 

For me I’d be elated if we finish in the top three and go up automatic, if we went up via playoffs would be fantastic but if we slip out of the play offs and don’t go up I will still be thinking what a great season we’ve had.

The run in will be difficult we need everyone onboard including the fans to help get us over the line, so let’s all get behind AH, KN and the team and make that final push but if for whatever reason we don’t make it lets applaud them for a great season and be grateful for how far we’ve come.

Our goalkeeper gets a lot of stick on social media so I thought it would be nice to give him credit for the great one handed save he made yesterday against Wycombe to keep us in the game.

I know goalkeepers are paid to make saves and I know he has made mistakes in the past, he may not be your first choice keeper but at the moment he’s Nolan’s so as I say credit where it’s due it was a great save. Agreed?

Who was your man of the match for Notts County against Wycombe Wanderers?

As the title suggests anyone know what kids activities there are in the family stand tomorrow or have they been cancelled / stopped now?

I ask as it's not published on the website like they have done in the past 

On this day in 2005, Stefan Oakes hit an absolute screamer from 40 yards for Notts County in a 3-1 win at League Two leaders Yeovil Town, which was rounded off by goals from Glynn Hurst and Mark Stallard.

Here is the strike in all its glory!

Notts County have published their season ticket prices for 2018-19 "with adult prices frozen, huge savings for young adults and an exciting offer for juniors".

https://www.nottscountyfc.co.uk/news/2018/march/season-tickets-2018-19/

What do you think of the prices and offers? Will you consider renewing - and if so, will it be early bird or later on? Share your thoughts!

I don't like to think we have but I am so annoyed after today. I feel like I've accepted us not going up. Where do we turn this around?

Fallouts and backchat are happening

Lost 4 of our last 7

Where do we go from here?

Sky Sports twice tipped Notts County for the League Two title over the course of the season, which we have discussed on the forum.

With just eight games left, they've downgraded their prediction in what I would assume is the last predictor of the season, and the Magpies are now tipped to finish fifth.

This is what they say:

The stats-based Sky Sports Predictor is tipping Accrington to go on to win Sky Bet League Two this season.

Accrington's incredible rise has seen them jump above long-time leaders Luton at the top of the table, and the predictor is backing them to go on to win the title and promotion.

The Hatters and Wycombe, who currently sit second and third, have been tipped to hold onto those spots, while the play-off places look set to be filled by the current incumbents of Mansfield, Notts County, Exeter and Coventry.

And here is their final look table.

Thoughts on this latest prediction?

This was my view sitting on the half way line just behind the dugouts, although we were under cover the snow was blowing into the stand, it was bitterly cold too.

I think we will go up in the automatic but it will depend on if Wycombe win their game in hand. If they loose that I think we will get that last automatic spot. But I think County have turned a corner and have got momentum back that they had at the beginning of the season. Hope fully not the playoff route that won’t do us any favours the automatic I think is our route up.

Looking at this picture he’s standing outside the penalty area but his arm is inside, the ref had a good view, to me it looks as if he made the right call. What do others think?

Where the 7 minutes came from is another matter.

Today, 15 March, is the anniversary of Jackie Sewell's world-record transfer to Sheffield Wednesday from Notts County.

Sewell, one of the finest forwards of his generation, went to Hillsborough in 1951 for £35,000 (many sources have it as £34,500 but this is not accurate - the cheque which the Owls gave to Notts has the first figure on).

Football site SoccerAttic dug out this piece from Charles Buchan’s Football Monthly no. 199 March 1968 discussing the transfer.

Here is the link to the online piece and below is the original article! Enjoy!

Football quarterly "The Blizzard" has published a comprehensive account of the Notts County Munto Era - it's a long read but a worthwhile one definitely.

Meadow Lane is a happy place to be at the moment. Notts County are in the running for promotion back to League One and everyone is pulling in the same direction. Under Kevin Nolan their progress on the pitch has been relatively serene and, with the backing of the local businessman Alan Hardy, the club’s future seems secure. Hardy completed his takeover last January, saving Notts from potential liquidation, and has been a visible presence throughout his year in charge.

Things were rather different in 2009-10, the last time they had hopes of promotion. In the space of seven turbulent months, Notts went from believing they were one of the richest clubs in England to teetering on the brink of bankruptcy when the unpalatable truth about their shadowy billionaire owners was finally revealed. They stared out over the precipice but were pulled back at the last.

Victims of an elaborate and fantastical ruse, Notts nevertheless had an unforgettable season, which culminated in them winning the League Two title. It was a constantly evolving story of contradictions and extreme contrasts, from a fake Bahraini prince with apparently limitless wealth and a trip to North Korea to discuss trillions of dollars of mineral assets to unpaid milk bills and £1 takeovers. The Football League’s oldest club has flirted with disaster on several occasions and lived to tell the tale. This one was the most remarkable of all.

Anyone got any good snowman pics, this is one I built with the help of the grandchildren.

I did go to the game and like everyone else sat there soaking with the blizzard coming our way. I think may be it should have cause st times it was hard to think what was going  through the lads Mind i dread think how they played this did a bang up job and did a professional job but the hand ball against us I think the weather played its part.
