Play-Offs

Quoted from Poojah

Turns out he did, with Gary Lund lining-up for County. What a bizarre and oddly fascinating competition the Anglo-Italian Cup was…

Hagi. What a player.

My mate (the former coach driver) just rang me. He’s a County fan by the way. When we spoke on Tuesday he was depressed about the coach/hotel situation after what he experienced 3 years ago.

He said the coach company received a call yesterday afternoon to confirm the itinerary for this weekend from a member of the NCFC footballing staff and the club were expecting one of the coaches they have booked (for players and staff) for Friday to Sunday and the coach for family members on Saturday to Sunday. This wasn’t what the company had down as booked.

Sounds like a disorganised mess whatever the reason. But my mate has gone from “another 4 years in this s***hole” or “it’s our year” in a couple of days.

The 90's was good times for Notts going to Wembley and seemed like we was going there all the time for one thing or another,I knew a Swindon supporter who told me that they won the first Anglo Italian cup back in 1970 even though they didn't finish the game to due to rioting, Napoli fans didn't take to kindly to being down at home from what I remember him telling me

Just before the Anglo Italian cup was the Anglo Scottish cup,who remembers that? I'm pretty sure that Grimsby was involved at some time or other, Chesterfield still retain the cup after winning the final in the last season that it was held against Notts County.... I hope that it's not an omen!

My source is incredibly reliable. He drove the Notts team bus to and from the match. He had to have covid tests the week before the game and was paid to self isolate at home.

.

I stand corrected then Golly,I had it in my head that they went down on the day due to covid and played in an empty Wembley but I bow to your superior knowledge 😎

Got my electronic tickets through today, really looking forward to it. Watching Town against Solihull last season was like going through a grinder  Will sit back and enjoy this one at Wembley without any stress May the best team win.

Me too. E tickets through today.  Weather looking cracking and can relax as a neutral.
Feel a bit sorry them them with the rail strike, so no return trains on.
Here's to a return to Meadow lane next season and 3 points

Got my ticket as well,emailed Wembley to see if I could be moved to the Notts section and they told me that a new ticket will be sent Friday,if I don't receive it then got to the Wembley ticket office with my email and it will be moved there and then

Notts did a Grimsby last Sunday so I'm hoping that the trend continues but then again we are "Wrexham" in this round aren't we? 🤔

I'm going on Saturday as well. Hoping for a Notts victory over cheaterfield but looking for a good game watching as a neutral and a stress free football experience

Quoted from GollyGTFC

Notts County are repeating the same mistake they made in 2020 when they lost the Final to Harrogate Town.

Rather than travel down the day before and stay in a hotel they are going down via coach on the day of the match from Nottingham. They did the same in 2020 and lost to Harrogate who stayed the night before the match at the Hilton next to Wembley Stadium.

An absolutely bonkers decision to have over 2 hours on a coach on the morning of the biggest game of the season.

Notts County are at Wembley now checking out the pitch and facilities, so unless they plan on driving back up to Nottingham tonight to then set off for Wembley again tomorrow, I assume they’re staying over.

If Posh keep up scoring, 2-0 before HT, we may be playing Wed earlier than we thought.
