I presume that it's nearing squeaky bum time for you lads eh?


It's Sunday. People rest on a Sunday.!










'I walked in the dressing room. The window was open and I thought that a sea fret had got in. Then I saw smoke billowing from a pipe in the corner of the room...it was my centre-forward. He looked seven stone wet through. He went on to score thirty-odd goals that season.' Lawrie McMenemy on encountering the legend that was Matt Tees.

Im very excited and a little nervous for tomorrow night,as others have said its a free hit as nobody expected us to be in the playoffs and all the pressure is on County,and if truth be told,if we dont go up ,i want Wrexham to win it ,because that would mean  great away days at Notts ,Chesterfield,Halifax, Oldham, York, Gateshead(full weekend on it in the toon) and the scunts. Its a win win as far as im concerned. UTFM

Gateshead is the most soulless stadium on the planet.

Weird going into the play offs and expecting nothing. Don’t think the team are good enough but also feels freeing like there is nothing to lose so let’s go for it

Don Valley  (v Rotherham) was as bad.

In the PH interview he agreed that the external pressure seemed less than in previous playoffs where expectations were higher.

This could be a very good thing if the players can go out and play with less stress. I do think there is far more pressure on Notts.

The way I see it anything from here is a bonus, great if we go up at the first attempt but Hurst will have us right up there next season if we don't.

In Hurst I trust.

both clubs need to win three games on the bounce and that's a tough ask when you are playing the top clubs in your league

This is true, but also true for the other teams in the playoffs. Wrexham thinking it is a forgone conclusion? Be my guest. Solihull thinking we will be a pushover? Yes please.

I think, even after what I’d consider two shite defeats, there’s a level arrogance that surrounds Wrexham that won’t be a help.

I’d argue the there’s probably three teams in the playoffs nobody has really spoken or seems to care about; us, chesterfield (their form has been woeful) and Halifax. Halifax never seem to lose yet so throw in a shitty draw. At our place for a good 40 minutes we battered them and deserved more than a draw.

They’re all beatable and the luxury for us, as fans anyway, is that there’s zero pressure. This season is a huge success on the dross of previous years, we’re probably in front of our development plan and to some extent it’s a free hit. Now we’re in them nobody wants to lose but after the disaster of last year, a mid table finish would’ve been a success…

I’m relatively calm going in to it which is a first…

I'm more worried about Solihull than I am about Grimsby tbh with Neil Ardley in charge there,it would be ironic if we got beat by our previous managers next club and they went up,very much Notts style
