The threat of liquidation hanging over Notts County has been formally lifted. A petition to wind up the club was dismissed on Wednesday at the High Court in London after a "dramatic compromise" was signed at the door of the court. Notts were being pursued for debts said to be more than £600,000 owed to Pinnacle Advantage Ltd, a company of which former Notts owner Ray Trew was director. The League Two club had been trying to agree a settlement with the administrators for Pinnacle,

Kevin Nolan has found himself praising his Notts County substitutes once again as the Magpies claimed a 1-0 win at Port Vale. With the League Two game evenly poised on a knife-edge, its solitary goal came through Lewis Alessandra, who came off the bench to score with his first tough, bundling home a Jorge Grant cross. The task of holding on to the lead was made all the more difficult after Shaun Brisley had to be taken off following a head knock and, with all three substitutions alread

Notts County boss Kevin Nolan has revealed that he has had to tell Jorge Grant to stop being so critical of himself. The 23-year-old grabbed a brace against Newport County at the weekend, which saw him edge into the double figures mark for goals. During the 3-0 win over the Exiles, however, Grant's over-eagerness to impress - and its subsequent impact on his play - led to Nolan having to have a word with him. “I told him not to try to eat himself up,” Nolan told the Nottingham Pos

Haydn Hollis has joined Forest Green Rovers after having his Notts County contract terminated to facilitate his move to the New Lawn. The 25-year-old, who progressed through the Magpies academy system before making his debut in 2012, made 137 appearances for the club and scored eight times. However, Hollis slipped down the pecking order this season, being restricted to appearances in the EFL Cup and EFL Trophy, and has now opted to join Mark Cooper's League Two side to get first-team f

Terry Hawkridge has reassured Notts County fans by stressing that the players will not struggle to get over their last-ditch 1-1 draw to Mansfield Town last weekend. The Magpies were on the verge of recording a first league win over the Stags since 2005 in front of a bumper crowd that braved the snowy conditions at Meadow Lane. Kevin Nolan's boys took the lead in the first half through Hawkridge, but the Stags were given the chance to equalise eight minutes into the seven minutes of ad

Kevin Nolan has once again hammered the point that Notts County were "totally unacceptable" against Yeovil Town and questioned his players' desire. The Magpies defence was routinely sliced open as the Glovers ran out 4-0 winners, with Alex Fisher bagging an easy hat-trick and former Notts man Yoann Arquin adding the cherry on top. Notts were booed off at half-time and at the final whistle, with the Magpies now having conceded 10 goals in their last three games, and Nolan was not at all

Notts County triumphed over Doncaster Rovers with a 3-1 victory at the Eco-Power Stadium. In a post-match interview, manager Luke Williams shared his insights on the impact of goals on the game and individual player performances.

Notts County manager John Sheridan has admitted that fans are needing to "get over" the season just gone, but says he is doing all he can to bring new players to the club. The 2015-16 campaign was nothing short of traumatic for Magpies supporters as unrest in the stands and behind the scenes collided with unacceptable performances on the pitch in the club's first season back in League Two for five years. Sheridan told the Nottingham Post: "It's still early days but I am really looking

Notts County caretaker boss Alan Smith has slammed individual errors for costing his side dear against Morecambe on Saturday. The Magpies fell to their 10th consecutive defeat in League Two as the Shrimpers claimed an easy 4-1 victory at the Globe Arena.

Lewis Alessandra has expressed his delight with grabbing the winning goal for Notts County at Port Vale, but also hailed the togetherness and effort of the whole team. The winger came off the bench on Saturday at Vale Park and, with his first touch, bundled home Jorge Grant's cross to open the scoring with what proved to be the winner. However, the entire Magpies setup had to be at their best when they fell to 10 men following three substitutions and Shaun Brisley's departure due to in

Terry Hawkridge is hoping that he can embark on a successful FA Cup run with Notts County this season, much like he did with Lincoln City last year. The Imps went all the way to the quarter-finals of the competition in 2016-17, the first non-league team in 103 years to reach the last eight. Hawkridge was a key component of the Lincoln team that made it that far in the competition, as well as sealing promotion to the Football League. Now at Notts, who are preparing for their first-

Notts County defender Matt Tootle has admitted the illness he had in January knocked a lot out of him but feels he is slowly building his form back up. The 27-year-old was sidelined for almost almost a month at the start of the year due to a virus that caused him to lose a lot of weight. However, Tootle was able to return to action in February and has been returning to form, putting in impressive performances at the back. “The illness really knocked me and I perhaps didn’t realise

Kevin Nolan has urged his Notts County players not to point fingers at each other following their poor start to the League Two season. The Magpies are yet to win a competitive game this season and go into Tuesday's game at Newport County having fallen to a humiliating 4-0 home defeat to Yeovil Town. "This is where the players have to come together and dig in," Nolan told the Nottingham Post. "I know it's early days but they've got to believe in each other. "They can't stand their
