A Thread About Notts County

[Spiritater]

Even with all thier worries and even if they go down to Conf North in the eyes of t'Beeb they're still the 2nd biggest club in the county. They'll still get to hog the airwaves on a Sat, have first dibs on post match interviews and we'll be left with updates into thier full big match commo from somewhere like Leamington .

[FarnieStag]

For all the hatred on here be many so-called football fans, County are actually a friendly club behind the scenes and have done a lot to encourage families and young kids to Meadow Lane which has seen stable attendances despite their predicament. For many years they have had permanent good kids offers, not just single match offers (e.g. kids free, or £1 etc). Most County fans (there are quite a few here in Farnsfield) are good folk who support their club through and thin, and don't deserve the usual bile dished up by the usual sad angry mob on here. 9 out of 10 of them didn't gloat when we went down. It will be a very sad day for Nottinghamshire football if they fold. As to the BBC, it's often been the Stags that have refused to give them right to the coverage, plus you can hardly blame the BBC for wanting to give more coverage to the club that has a lot more fans than us

Would never wish a club out of business . A few years in non league....yes . Far too many of them revelled in our non league years for me to think any different . The chip has dropped off the shoulder and many of them might be better for it when they do return .

i doubt it, they will be full of how great they were in non league,biggest club ever in the bananarama league, oldest pro club in the world, we inspired juventus you know, alan hardy is actually good for the club, blah blah, blah

IF they ever get back in the proper league, that is.

Last season I went to meadow lane to watch England v Brazil , a bloke in the club shop saw my
Stags badge laughed & said he felt sorry for me !

Just about every county fan I have ever met believes they are a far bigger club and the Dingles should learn their place in the world. They think the same about the town and fail to look at The Meadows, Crab Tree Farm and Bestwood Estates and that's not even touching on Hyson Green and the other modern slums they call a city. Admittedly this is also valid for most folk from Shottingham but that is beside the point.

I won't be sad at their demise and still think the club will fold as there are no assets to strip. We will see how many of their supporters have the dedication and will to start again and would wager it will be less than 1000.

Time will tell but my money is on them not starting the new season at least not in the conference premiership. Can they even afford to get to their fixtures in the south? I doubt it.

I live in Nottingham and know a few Notts fans. I always have friendly banter, as you'd expect with any rivals, but it's never nasty. When we went down, they took the pee. When they went down, I returned the favour. But they don't have anything major against us (like Chesterfield) and they're a family club. I hope they sort it and get him out of their club.

On the arrogance towards Mansfield thing, that's just a Nottingham thing in general. The first thing I hear from anyone in Nottingham when I mention Mansfield is that it's racist, stuck in the 70s, a dump, inbred, blah blah blah. As for poverty, Nottingham has its fair share and its probably worse than Mansfield, but I'll stick up for Hyson Green. My favourite part of the city. Quality food options and cultural events. I was on the Forest rec yesterday listening to African music and eating BBQ in the sun!

Correct and it was where all the other 30,000 county lived back in the day lol.

You know, when they were allegedly a big club.

Good riddance, i say.

[BigGuy]

Bet it sells crappy half and half scarfs.

[yorkshire stag]

Has Big Al not sold his world famous massive club yet then ?

Im embarrassed reading some of the bile on this thread. Anyone wanting to see the demise of a football club is beneath contempt. Sure, laugh at your rivals and glory in beating and eclipsing them, but wanting a club gone? With all the resultant loss of jobs, erosion of history and further movement of the game towards an elitist TV event? Not in my name. To those that want this, please don't come to any more Stag s matches. I don't want to be on the same planet as you, let alone in the same stadium.

Simples - don't go then.

Why are Notts County any more special than any other club from the elite of the premiership to the likes of Tow Law Town?

No-one wants people to lose their jobs but neither did I want the people who were employed by Hardy's other companies to lose theirs simply to keep a white elephant afloat.

Football clubs do not have a Devine right to exist and if they are being badly run and failing to pay their debts why shouldn't they go to the wall? Why should other sections of society suffer simply to keep a club playing what is essentially a game?

If you want to take the moral high ground, at least get on the side of people who are innocent in the whole sorry mess and appear to have been confined to the scrap heap without a whimper.

[gazza1988]

Do I "want" County to go out of business? No
Will I lose any sleep if they do go out of business? Also, no.

Will I gloat if they do go out of business? No

Am I enjoying the ride so far? Absolutely.

Most Stags fans won't want County to fold, or at the very worst the are ambivalent about the whole episode.

Most fans probably do want Hardy to suffer though. A bit of humility and humbleness will do him good, and hopefully stop him making the same arrogant mistakes again.

I don't think County have helped their cause by having previous bucket shaking exercises and then overspending, only to repeat the same hardship. As a club they struggle badly to live within their means
