Tomorrow, Saturday 1st August 2015, English football history will be made. The FA Women’s Cup final is being played at the iconic Wembley Stadium for the first time in its history. It’s set to be the biggest in the competition's history, with more than 26,000 tickets already sold. Neither Notts County nor Chelsea, the two teams contesting it, have ever won the showpiece of the women’s game in its 44-year history.&#

The mood around the Notts camp at this moment in time must have taken a blow after losing three nil to Conference Premier side Grimsby Town, as it must be hard to accept a defeat even within the late stages of pre-season. After losing to Port Vale, Notts manager Ricardo Moniz spoke about simple things having effected Notts’ chance of winning the game. However, what struck me the most was these comments made by the man himself, “The loss ag

Notts County's home match against Plymouth Argyle, originally scheduled for 3pm Saturday 10th October, will now be televised live on Sky on Sunday 11th October, kick off - 2.30pm. Notts fan and PON member, Julie Henshaw had this to say about the fixture change - "Why do Sky have to change K.O times?". She then went on to say "I'd sooner have had Plymouth v Notts on tv, as its a long way to travel for supporters, cos being on the bench, I'l

What a great pre-season it has been! I’ve been to every match and, frankly, I don’t want pre-season to end. With the bitter reflections of last season still fresh in my mind, I have been thrilled by the passing and movement that RM is keen to instil, and that is rapidly becoming this team’s trademark. The early matches amply demonstrated the skills of the new players while also showing that Jimmy Spencer is back to his best although he sti

FIFA, the global body that controls this beautiful game we know as football, are being investigated for bribery and corruption and it seems that the villains of the piece might be close to the very top echelons of the organisation. If the allegations are proved to be correct, then you have to think the unthinkable and wonder how far down the chain of football administration, the stench of graft will seep. Heaven forbid that we will eventua

Notts County manager Ricardo Moniz has admitted that he would like to bring at least three more signings to Meadow Lane. The Magpies have already added 15 new players to their ranks this summer, as well as promoting two players from the Academy. However the Dutchman, who was unable to keep the League 1 last season after taking over from Shaun Derry, still wants to add to his defensive and attacking options.  

Notts County full-back Jordan Cranston has left the club by mutual consent. The 21-year old joined the Magpies in September last year and was given a new 18-month deal in a month later under then-manager Shaun Derry. However, new boss Ricardo Moniz has signed Rhys Sharpe to battle it out with Blair Adams for the left-back spot in League Two this season. This has left Cranston with limited first-team opportunities, and the decision for him

The Notts County Football Club Official Supporters’ Association are pleased to announce that they have made a substantial donation of much-needed equipment to the club’s Academy. Ahead of the start of the new season, the committee liaised with Academy director Peter Jarvis about what was needed to take the youth team to the next level. He highlighted the need for the Academy to adopt a video analysis system, which would enable two more job

We were within 5 Minutes of Staying in League One, 5 MINUTES. In the 85th minute V Gillingham Something happened and not in a good way. We were so close, yet so far away. My Girlfriend (Villa Fan) was out the house like a flash after their first Goal went in. I kicked the chair in frustration after the final whistle. HOW COULD YOU!! 5 BLOODY MINUTES. Time to focus on the Womens World Cup over here in Canada. Being a Volunteer at the newly

Back in mid-April, Notts County chairman Ray Trew announced during a radio interview that he would be creating a transfer committee at the club. This would consist of six members – all unknown at the time of the interview – who would discuss each player, before the manager, Ricardo Moniz made his final decision, as any manager should do if the chosen players were good enough for the club. After this interview, fans’ opinions were somewhat

Notts County have pulled off an audacious raid on Huddersfield Town by fending off much competition to snap up Jon Stead. Stead’s arrival at Notts sends out a clear message to the rest of the division - that Notts are serious about promotion- with the attacker penning a two-year deal at Meadow Lane following his release by Huddersfield Town. Manager Ricardo Moniz wants his new side to be ruthless in front of goal next season and expects 60

I have a confession to make. I feel sorry for Forest fans. They so desperately want the Cloughie years to return; to be European Champions again. But the facts of the matter are that those days will never be repeated – so long as money falls from the Sky into the lake of professional football to make the big clubs richer, the small clubs poorer, and the gap filled by the ‘also-ran’ clubs, which currently seems to stretch from the middle of the Premiership into the

Notts County have this afternoon confirmed the signing of Belgium international Gill Swerts with the player penning a two- year deal at Meadow Lane. The capture of the defensive midfielder is a major statement of intent by Notts- who aim to put an end to last season's misery and make an immediate return to League 1. The educated midfielder has made the trip across Europe and joined Notts on a free transfer from NAC Breda.

When the final whistle blew at Priestfield on Sunday 3rd May, I surely cannot have been the only person who felt numb, drained, disappointed and fearful. Notts had lost 3-1 to Gillingham despite leading 1-0 until the 88th minute, and following a season that began so promisingly but collapsed quicker than a sixth form leaver on his first lads’ trip abroad after his tenth shot of tequila, the Magpies’ relegation was confirmed. But not only t

Notts County have today made history by securing the biggest shirt sponsorship deal in the club’s history. Ladbrokes, one of the world’s pioneering betting company’s, has agreed to sponsor the Magpies’ kit for two seasons- earmarked as the most lucrative sponsorship deal in the clubs 153- year history. Plans have been drawn up to open a new Ladbrokes retail outlet at Meadow Lane as part of the agreement. Notts County chairman, Ray Trew, to

Jack Grealish, the former Notts County impresser made the headlines for all the wrong reasons last week when the youthful playmaker was spotted appearing drunkenly sprawled on the streets of Tenerife whilst on holiday with friends. A photo of Grealish emerged on Twitter a week last Sunday which soon went viral as the general public lapped up the news of the highly-rated prospect snapped worse for wear, unconscious on the road by a fellow holiday-maker.

Notts County are said to be interested in the former Newcastle United striker Adam Campbell. The Nottingham Post reported on Friday that the Magpies may be willing to offer the 20-year-old forward a lifeline following his release by the Tyneside club. Campbell was once held in high regard by United but failed to make the grade with the Premier League outfit and was let go by the Magpies at the end of the season. Campbell had a fleeting car

This upcoming season Notts must not forget the importance of playing at home, as last year’s abysmal record will no doubt prove, yet high-flying football clubs build their promotion form based on how they do in front of their own fans. Therefore, we must reflect this within our bid for promotion back to League 1 and find the right balance of players in order to do so.   I have been to a number of games whereby the

Former Notts County duo Sean Newton and Greg Tempest have secured contracts for their services, with the former Magpies set to face each other within the 2015/16 season within Vanarama Conference. 26-year-old Newton has joined Wrexham after being released by Lincoln City while youth team graduate Greg Tempest has gone on to join the Imps.“Once I heard that Wrexham and the gaffer were interested in me, then there was only one club for me, There were offers from oth

He’s spent years working with disabled people and raising thousands of pounds for charity. Now, as he prepares for his fifth year of fundraising, Alun Millard is hoping to raise even more. Daniel Angelini had a chat with him. Since the start of the decade, Nottingham's Alun Millard has raised over £2000 for charities including the Cystic Fibrosis Fund and Mencap. As a support worker at Mencap, he helps people with learning disabilities to

Shaun Derry will always have a place in the hearts of Notts County fans after his miraculous work in keeping the Magpies up during the 2013-14 season. Born in Nottingham, he began his career at Meadow Lane before making a name for himself at a host of clubs including Crystal Palace, Leeds United and Queens Park Rangers, proving a popular figure in every team he graced. In November Derry was appointed Notts manager, where six wins in his last nine games and a draw
