The best of the action from Vale Park as Notts extended their unbeaten run to five games in all competitions.

So this morning, a fan tweeted to Alan Hardy saying ticket prices to watch the noisy neighbours over the Trent are cheaper than Notts County this month.
Personally, it doesn't bother me. Aside from the fact I wouldn't watch them over the river if the tickets were 20p, £22 has been pretty much the norm now for quite a few years. Hardy's doing promotions and deals now and then, and generally, the whole setup of the club now is such that Notts fans are happy to pay to see good, honest, hard-working football (compared to a year or so ago where you'd be paying £22 to watch Notts lost 4-0 in a toxic atmosphere). But at the same time, it doesn't do anything for the neutrals or the undecided, who can view the matchday experience from a customer point of view.
What do you think?
So this is it - Christmas day for many football fans (mostly the neutrals), Judgement Day for some (*cough* Arsenal *cough*), and Thursday for others (mainly those in the lower leagues).
Transfer Deadline Day (summer 2017) is upon us.
It's been a busy window for Notts County, but in terms of final-minute business, it's unlikely that there will be much. Leigh Curtis predicts the possibility of maybe one striker coming in, a Championship player who's not Tyler Walker or George Hirst.
Expecting quiet deadline day at Notts. Striker is a possibility. Looking at one from Championship. Not Walker or Hirst.

As we all know, Notts County are known as the Magpies - often shortened to Pies. Which has led to a number of associations with the well-loved pastry product (such as Alan Hardy offering free "pies for Pies" on a first-come first-served basis).
However, the pie has also claimed a new role in Nottingham football folklore - making Nottingham Forest fans look like utter t**ts! ![]()

Good performance by both sides. Would've taken a point before the game had started so can't complain really ... but im going too. Ameobi at fault for first goal, he could have kicked it out for a throw or controlled it better. Second goal was down to Kevin Nolan, a replacement defender was not brought on quick enough and as a result of tired legs when they had fresh subs we conceded. 2-2 is a respectable result from both teams but we really should have seen out this game. Poor tactics by Nolan cost us this game IMO.
As it's 29 years since Notts County claimed their biggest ever win over Mansfield Town (5-0 at Meadow Lane in the League Cup), I thought I'd open up a thread as to the best Nottinghamshire derby you remember.
Were you there on 30 August 1988 for the big win, or if not, what is the best one that you recall seeing/hearing/following?

Based on a mean of 5
Collin 5.5 Couldn't do much with the goals, but was outshone by Accrington's keeper,Chapman, who produced 3 magnificent saves. Having said that Collin, at least blocked what looked like an Accrington certain winner in injury time. The first half saw Collin well protected and had little to do. One poor punched clearance in the second.
Tootle 5.5 Still puzzled over the sending off. It did seem a case of the referee evening up numbers. Believe sending off was for 2 yellow cards
Duffy 5.5 Looking more of an offensive threat from Dan Jones's dead ball delivery ( especially Chapman bringing off a good save)...but marked down a mark or two for a clear cut foul that should have yielded a penalty for Accrington in the second half
Brisley 5 An OK centre half at this level, but look at perhaps what we could have got when compared to Richards Everton Centre Half performance from Accrington
Jones 6 Giving power on the left when going forward.. Lots of positives but was badly caught out when trying to protect the ball close to his by line.
Hewitt 6 Beginning to see why Nolan is using him. All energy and covering ground but on the flip side, doesnt possess the hope of a killer pass...but maybe that's a dishonour as front 2 have distinct lack of pace.
Yates 5 Just have a feeling he needs to step up more and put his foot down to influence the game. Nolan's long ball tactics doesnt help
Grant 8 Class Class class for that goal... Really need to work harder as a team to bring him into goal scoring positions. Denied another goal with a fine save from Chapman
Hawkridge 7 Absolute dynamo in terms of effort and a great break on the left to deliver the pass for the second
Stead 4.5 Yes, won the penalty and scored from it...just... Was well marshalled by Accrington's defence, who were able to pick off his lack of control.
Shola 5 Full marks to Richards Everton for having Shola in his pocket. Minus marks for lack of concentration that allowed Accrington's player Hughes to score
A nondescript first half gave way to an exiting second. Questions remain of Nolan's thinking as to why Forte didn't start the game... Shola and Stead are too leaden footed to work effectively as a pair. Hewitt's injury in injury time should have been subbed immediately... Maybe easy to say in hindsight.. Overall, agreed Accrington deserved the draw, they played some good football whereas we have good players that dont really benefit from the longer ball game.

So John Coleman, the Accrington Stanley manager, has had a right old moan about Notts County, describing the changing rooms as "a corridor", the penalty awarded to the Magpies as "soft", not awarding the visitors "two stonewall penalties" of their own... he's not a happy man!

It's been completely revamped and now it definitely has a personality of its own, compared to the "other stand" it used to be in the past.
Have a look for yourself - what do you think?

Who is the best player you have seen play on the pitch at Meadow Lane? Opposition counts too. For me being a young'ish fan it has to be Patrick Vieira against Manchester City in our cup tie. Who is yours?

What is some people's problem with Alan Hardy? Some of the abuse he's getting abit oit of hand now, I've got to question where some Notts fans respect is.. He saved us last season, brought some stability to Notts.
If I owned Notts and got this abuse I'd sell the club to the first buyer, its no wonder the trews got fed up.
Now don't get me wrong I'm not Alan Hardy's biggest fan, his decision making has had 1 or 2 flaws, discussing transfers on twitter not a good idea.. The way he speaks down to fans who don't agree with him is abit out of order, promises he can't fulfill was always going to end in fans getting angry..
Where do you stand on Mr Hardy?

We should have finished the game when we had those 3-4 corners in a row, and bombarded Stanley's area with crosses (which I don't understand why we heavily focus on this). I mean, Yates, Ameobi and someone else had key moments where they could have made it 3-0 but we just knocked it out wide.
I don't really understand why we do this when there's space in front or a chance to get a shot on goal.
It was a frustrating evening. I felt we played some better football than against Wycombe and created a lot of chances. Even if we couldn't get a third goal, two should be enough. Even at 2-1 we should be able to close out the game, but for that we need to be able to keep a cool head and retain possession.
Collin made a spectacular save at the death but from that position their player should really be scoring. A decent finish from there and there's nothing the keeper can do about it. We also struck it lucky with their penalty call in the second half. That said the game should have been over by then.
I'm frustrated but looking at the bigger picture 7 points from 4 games isn't a bad start, especially when you consider the opening day at Coventry. Hawkridge, Jones and Grant give us plenty of creativity, Hewitt has potential in midfield and I'm expecting to see more from Alessandro and Forte too. If our defence can just sort itself out somehow there could be more than just mid-table mediocrity in it this season.
i thought we played well but was unlucky with some of the chances that notts created. their keeper was good at saving, tho we could have scored more passed him if we had have been more direct. i am happy with the draw, its no real loss. we gained a point and something to learn.
Hi all,
I'm doing a study on certain aspects of the match day experience at EFL & PL clubs, and would much appreciate it if any of you could take 3-4 minutes to complete the following survey:

I found this fascinating, I already knew a fair bit but this documentary goes quite in-depth. Many fans seem to forget that Accrington Stanley was one of the first clubs to play football, yet this highlights their struggles and ambition to grow further.
Well worth the watch.

Fascinating, thanks for that guys.
It looks like Kevin Nolan has his preferred players which every manager does, but am I the only one who believe that half of the squad cannot perform due to fitness for a full 90 minutes? I honestly feel there should be more squad rotation.

Haha... This is typical of Notts to win a game in this fashion but without Collin/Jones we may not have picked the points up.
