In a recent post-match interview following the 0-0 draw between Notts County and Morecambe at the Mazuma Stadium, Notts manager Luke Williams expressed his satisfaction with his team's performance.  "I'm happy enough because I thought we played some quality football," he said.  However, he acknowledged that there were too many mistakes made during the game. "In a game like this, you have to concentrate, and our level of concentration is not there yet." Williams went on to explain

Notts County head coach Stuart Maynard has emphasised the need for his side to be more clinical as they prepare to face AFC Wimbledon at Meadow Lane. Maynard's team, currently sitting in third place and occupying an automatic promotion spot in League Two, will be aiming to build on their solid away form after a 2-2 draw against local rivals Chesterfield. Speaking in a pre-match interview, Maynard highlighted that while his team has been creating plenty of goal-scoring opportunities, th

New Notts County manager Jamie Fullarton gave his first press conference on Monday, telling the press of his delight at managing the oldest Football League club in the world and reassuring fans with the fact that he has plenty of coaching experience. The former Nottingham Forest development coach was appointed as Ricardo Moniz's successor on Sunday, having beaten the likes of Mark Cooper and John Sheridan to the post. Fullarton, who also took his first training session on

John Sheridan has admitted that his Notts County players may be suffering from 'fear' when they go out on the pitch, such is their poor confidence and form. The Magpies are hovering just about the League Two relegation zone after falling to seven consecutive defeats, as well as missing out on a FA Cup third-round trip to Chelsea after losing to Peterborough United in their replay. "They probably are playing with a bit of fear because we are losing," Sheridan told the Nottingham Post. "

The Football Association has agreed to a rebalancing of the number of teams in FA WSL 1 and FA WSL 2 for the 2017-18 season in the wake of Notts County Ladies folding. The decision has been made to continue with 10 FA WSL 1 teams for the forthcoming 2017-18 season, which begins in September, ensuring there is even numbers in both divisions. FA WSL 2 clubs are now able to apply for the remaining place in FA WSL 1. The application process will require clubs to demonstrate how they w

Alan Hardy has revealed that Notts County moved for three youngsters towards the end of the summer transfer window. Deadline day came and went without the Magpies making an additional signing, and the club owner claimed that they saw no reason to make a last-minute acquisition. However, he later wrote in the Nottingham Post that Notts had nonetheless still been in the hunt for a player "who we thought would improve us". Hardy said: "I’ve had several meetings with the manager and t

Newport County manager Mike Flynn has hit out at referee Craig Hicks for showing Dan Butler a red card in their 3-0 defeat at Notts County. Butler was sent off in the 34th minute after leading with his elbow on Matt Tootle in an aerial challenge which left the Magpies full-back needing treatment. It proved a turning point in the game as Notts went on to bag three goals against the Exiles and could easily have got more, with Jorge Grant nearly sealing a hat-trick. “The referee has

Kevin Nolan has claimed that every Notts County player had a "really solid game" in their 0-0 draw with Colchester United and that the first League Two home fixture of the season was always going to be "a bit jittery for everybody". The Magpies and the U's cancelled each other out in a fairly even game at Meadow Lane which, though not the most inspiring, still managed to yield a point and a clean sheet for the hosts. “The first game at home is always a bit jittery for everybody," Nolan

Notts County secured a hard-earned point in their match against Morecambe on Tuesday, with the game ending in a goalless draw. Despite Notts County's sustained pressure, neither team could find the back of the net, with Jodi Jones coming closest when his volley struck the bar in the second half. Notts County manager Luke Williams made three changes to the side that triumphed over Grimsby at Meadow Lane on Saturday, introducing Jim O’Brien, Aiden Baldwin, and Adam Chicksen into the starting

On the 21st December 2013, a Meadow Lane fixture against Bristol City took place. On the half hour mark, a crunching challenge from City player Greg Cunningham on Gary Liddle saw the Notts player crumble to the ground. The referee, amazingly, didn't see fit to punish the Bristol player, as Liddle was forced to make way for Mark Fotheringham. The final outcome was a draw, but frustratingly the Magpies lost a key part of their team. The injury is on the minds of many Notts fans & the Po

Notts County owner Ray Trew has set a deadline of late June to sell the club, after which he will take it off the market if he doesn't find a buyer. The Magpies have been up for sale since February and, according to a recent statement from the club's chief executive Jason Turner, talks remain ongoing. Local businessman Alan Hardy has so far been the only bidder to make his interest public, while a number of other parties from as far afield as the United States and China have allegedly

New Notts County owner Alan Hardy has revealed that he is looking to complete his takeover of the Magpies in just over a week. The deal, which sees the club change hands from Ray Trew to Hardy, is expected to reach its completion on January 9. The Nottingham Post revealed that there had been a delay in the formalities due to the complexity and timing of the negotiations over the festive period. Hardy confirmed the latest news on his takeover on Twitter, writing: "Contracts hopeful

Kevin Nolan has claimed that Notts County were "robbed of two points" as they played out a 1-1 draw against Mansfield Town on Saturday. The Magpies took the lead in the first half through Terry Hawkridge bundling home, but the Stags were given the chance to equalise eight minutes into the seven minutes of added time at the end of the game. Alex Macdonald headed into the box in the last minute of injury time with the ball hitting Lewis Alessandra on the arm, prompting referee Andy Woolm

Julie Henshaw's love for Notts County runs deep. Her parents met through supporting the team, with her mother starting to attend games in 1946 and her father joining her after finishing his National Service in 1947. They travelled to away games on what was known as Bill Reynolds' number one bus. "My mum and dad met through supporting Notts," Julie recalls. "Mum started going in 1946, just before they signed Tommy Lawton. Dad was finishing his National Service so didn't start going until 194

Notts County head coach Stuart Maynard lauded his side's determination after their hard-fought 1-0 victory over AFC Wimbledon at Meadow Lane. Despite admitting it wasn’t the most fluent of performances, Maynard emphasised the importance of securing the three points in a physically challenging game. The win came courtesy of Matty Platt’s header from a set-piece in the 67th minute, propelling Notts County to joint third in League Two. Maynard was quick to highlight the resilience an

After Tuesday nights win over Colchester United, Pride of Nottingham returns with another preview into the League One fixtures played on the 7th of March. The form of many sides is vastly becoming important as teams prepare to bid for safety, whilst others are maintaining their play-off push and others aiming to secure a health position.

Notts County chief executive Julian Winter has compared new manager Jamie Fullarton to Brendan Rodgers. The 41-year-old, who was previously in charge of the Nottingham Forest and Bolton Wanderers youth teams, saw off Newport County boss John Sheridan, Grimsby's Paul Hurst and former Swindon manager Mark Cooper for the Magpies role. Winter, who worked with Brendan Rodgers and Malky Mackay when chief executive of Watford, said Fullarton's le

Notts County striker Jon Stead is courting interest from clubs in Scotland, according to reports. The former Sunderland and Blackburn Rovers forward, 33, was the Magpies' top scorer with 14 goals last season. As Stead is under contract for another year at Meadow Lane, the club would be able to command a fee for the player they signed from Bradford City on a free last summer. It remains to be seen whether the reports are true and, if so, what new manager John Sheridan has in store

John Sheridan has urged any player unhappy at Notts County to "be honest" with him and ask to leave the club. The Magpies boss admits that he is looking to bring in new blood at Meadow Lane, but insists that he cannot do so unless he moves players on. "Something is not right and something needs to change," Sheridan, whose side is preparing to face Carlisle United at home on New Year's Eve, told the Nottingham Post. "We just need a spark. One or two players coming in might be what

Alan Hardy has admitted that Nottingham Forest are likely to extend Jorge Grant's current deal at the City Ground. The midfielder enjoyed a brilliant loan spell at Notts County this season and the club owner is eager to sign him up permanently. However, Hardy is also aware that his progress at Meadow Lane will not have gone unnoticed by both his parent club - who have an option to extend his deal by another year, and any other suitors, with Bristol City and Wigan Athletic rumoured to b
