Fascinating stuff, a Premiership pitch, all we need now is the players to match, we’ll done to the owners for investing in our club.

Very interesting clip. The new pitch must be a big investment.

He’d be a great signing for them.

Interesting Stats from the transfer markt website 

They have Macaulay's value at £400K. I think that figure is grossly undervalued.

Another interesting statistic is that he had scored 19 goals in all competitions up to 31 December 2023 and 10 goals scored from 1st January 2024

Macaulay is top of the pile in the top five tiers for the last two seasons.

I suspect there may be a few clubs in for him during the summer. Heard a few rumours floating round during the season and they're doing the rounds again. 

My site manager at work, who's a Birmingham fan, said that Langstaff's name was shouted and mentioned a lot to the board of Birmingham City.

Hopefully we can retain him and he carried on banging the goals in. His scoring tally is something to be admired and I still believe there's more to come.

The Bradford home game, first half, was great too. I’ll go for the Morecambe 5-0 win at home, completely dominated them.

And it's mad that we did the double over Doncaster and they looked like the poorest team in the division. Yet now they are one game away from Wembley. And it might sound it, but I’m genuinely not being bitter here, but I think both them and Crawley (assuming they don’t fall apart in the second leg) will struggle in L1. But good luck to ‘em!

@ARLukomski I'm coming for that title next season ????. After being 11th for most of the season 

Thank you for the kind words. It's been a pleasure and it'd be great to see you all again in August! I'll post a thread nearer the time.

I've got to disappoint you @Megan_Elizax, I've decided I'm going to win next season, and I count the points. But maybe second place is up for grabs if you throw @ARLukomski's laptop in a river or something?

I've got something for the stattos / sad anoraks among you. I counted the points separately for the second half of the season and this was the result. Apart from our two new entrants, @william1984 was the only player to get more points in the second half of the season than in the first. @Harry Buckley only actually played 18 rounds - over 23 rounds he'd have got about 95 points, putting him in the top four.

Thanks for all your hard work mate. 

We've seen some great matches at Meadow Lane, we've seen drama as well as the big ups & the big downs, but for excitement & drama, I think it just about tops the lot. And that celebration from Jodi is one for the ages.

Lost count of the amount of times I've watched this. Unbelievable.

2nd goal for Marine. It looks all over for Macclesfield.

Goal to Macclesfield. Score 1:2

Marine win 2:1 and are promoted to National League North.

Let's hear from the Manager.

Notts are currently standing third from the bottom on 16 points and are now waiting on the last match between 3rd placed Peterborough and bottom placed Leek who are on 14 points, to decide whether Notts could get relegated or not.

Leek have to win at Peterborough to send Notts down.

There is a massive gulf between the bottom four and the rest so hopefully Notts will be safe.

Congratulations Bromley.

Talking of Centre Backs on other threads, Webster was always impressive against Notts

I liked the look of Nathan Claxton, hopefully the club is still thinking it over but it sounds like they have a few players in mind.

Nathan Claxton looked impressive. He was one of the trialists that I thought could do a job with Notts. I am not sure if he played against Telford, but hopefully, he is still around.

But @Fan of Big Tone it's May!!!!

Knackered myself gardening yesterday so it’s a rest day today. I’ve got some homemade rhubarb wine on the go, should be ready for Christmas. ???? 

The club could do with finding a centre back who is experienced, but at the right age. Ideally someone around 26-27 and have a reputation for being very good at defending. We don't need someone with a lot of pace, provided we retain Aden Baldwin.

I have no issues with players coming in from further down the leagues, such as the National League North or South.

Good players these days are finding their way down there and are taking what chances they can in order to establish their career further. Ideally, if we have some money in the budget, we would seek to sign a player for a fee. Whilst, we could very well rely on the free agents available. I am a firm believer that paying for the right player, in key positions, gives a much-needed boost because they will want to show their worth within the fee paid. This isn't always the case, but we are quite good at spending money well when looking for transfers.

Our issue is within the loan system.

Personally, I think it's a bit early for us to be reviewing who could potentially come in because much can change between now and the pre-season. It's an interesting debate, plus there's nothing wrong with tracking players but with managerial changes and signings, this alone opens so many doors.

I know he is youngish but with experience at Port Vale and Dundee, perhaps he is an option. Thought he was very good when we played Rushcliffe Rovers in a pre season game at Notts
