purpleronnie Posted 21 July 2019 Share Posted 21 July 2019 so sad that clubs like county/bury etc continually get run to the ground and the EFL sit back and watch. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spacemunky Posted 22 July 2019 Share Posted 22 July 2019 Alan Hardy is understood to have cleared his office at Notts County today amid suggestions the club is close to being sold. Nottinghamshire Live has learned the Magpies' chairman collected his belongings from Meadow Lane earlier this afternoon and was spotted with a printer, before leaving the stadium. Don't forget your dick pics! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CosbehFox Posted 26 July 2019 Share Posted 26 July 2019 Problem is that players like Rhead are not that useful at a level where half of the teams play that style. Billericay already lump the ball long into Cunnington Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacemunky Posted 26 July 2019 Share Posted 26 July 2019 Notts County Football Club badge - Link to home Club News Alexander and Christoffer Reedtz complete takeover Danish brothers acquire Notts County Just now 3234 views Alexander and Christoffer Reedtz have released the following statement after acquiring Notts County from Alan Hardy. It is with great pleasure that we are able to announce today that we are the new owners of Notts County Football Club. We are delighted that the deal has been completed, and that the uncertainty about the club’s future has come to an end. We can now all shift our focus towards the exciting new football season which is just around the corner. As you may be aware, we run a football analysis company called Football Radar, which has its headquarters in London and further offices in Liverpool and Plovdiv, Bulgaria. Ever since we founded the company 10 years ago it has been our goal to own a professional football club, and we are thrilled that the day has come where we have fulfilled this ambition. While football is business for us it is also our lifelong passion and to now have the opportunity to own a club with such heritage as Notts County is a dream come true for both of us. County is a dream come true for both of us. Why Notts County? It goes without saying that Notts County are a big club with a proud history, and its status as the world's oldest professional football club is something that we, and anyone else who loves football, find absolutely compelling. What also appealed to us about Notts County is the city of Nottingham itself, and the support the club enjoys here. The club's results in recent years have not lived up to the high expectations, but the fans have continued to support their team wholeheartedly. In our view, the fans are the foundation of any successful football club. The passion and loyalty that the Notts County fans demonstrate is truly admirable, and of essential importance to the club's future. We look forward to getting to know the fans better and to working with them to take Notts County forward. We are very much going to need the support of the fans in the upcoming season, which will not be easy. The National League is a strong league and the gap between it and League Two isn't massive. With only two promotion spots at stake for 24 teams, and twice the number of relegation places, the competition is going to be tough. The preparations for the new season, of course, haven't been ideal, with many players leaving and the club unable to sign replacements until now due to the financial circumstances. Having said all that, our ambition is to bring Notts County back to the Football League as soon as possible. We will work intensively with Neal Ardley and the rest of the team to bring in the right players in order to have a squad that has the necessary quality and depth to hopefully challenge for promotion this season. A key element in our future strategy for Notts County will be the work we do at Football Radar. We believe that the unique data and knowledge we have access to through Football Radar, when used alongside the extensive expertise that already exists within the club, can help Notts County become very successful. Finally, we would like to say that we feel very proud and humbled to be in charge of this fantastic football club. We know how important Notts County are to the fans and to the city of Nottingham, and we can guarantee that we will do our utmost to bring success to the club. It is now our responsibility to carry forward the great traditions of Notts County, to ensure that the world's oldest professional football club endures, and last, but not least, to win an awful lot of football matches! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacemunky Posted 31 July 2019 Share Posted 31 July 2019 Our first signing! Notts County have completed their first signing of the summer with the capture of experienced defender Ben Turner.The centre-back, who has amassed almost 300 league appearances and has played in each of England’s top four tiers, was most recently with Mansfield Town and played for the Stags at Meadow Lane in February.Notts manager Neal Ardley said: "In a lot of games last season we lacked physical presence, so at the top of our list of priorities was a dominant centre back."Working with the new owners - and the stats they've got - Ben came out top of the pile."I know Ben from our days at Cardiff, so I understand his character. He brings aerial dominance, leadership, experience and know-how. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CosbehFox Posted 1 August 2019 Share Posted 1 August 2019 Tbf the guys who've taken over Notts County have a proven record of setting up a business and making a successful company. The stats geeks are delighted - for a long time, the statistical analysts have wanted to take over a club and apply their findings too. I imagine that's what going to happen with Notts County. This book is a really good read on what Football Radar and similar companies do - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Football-Hackers-Science-Data-Revolution/dp/1788702050/ref=pd_sim_14_5/257-4777816-1912723?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=1788702050&pd_rd_r=71836502-e249-48ba-b36b-7f07b81627f4&pd_rd_w=MjnUh&pd_rd_wg=iKc40&pf_rd_p=1b8636ae-4f21-4403-a813-e8849dd46de4&pf_rd_r=XE5HGZABG4X2D7159YZE&psc=1&refRID=XE5HGZABG4X2D7159YZE 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Tyson's 37 now but hopefully he's still got somethingleft in the tank. Happy with our signings, especially given we had to wait so long to get started. Wish I could see the match today against Eastleigh. I'll be following along though, best I can. COYP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
