I think the reserved tickets included all the season ticket holders from 2019/20 - so that was about 18 - 20,000. That's still a hell of a lot of recent season ticket holders who haven't bothered - a huge concern for the club surely RadioactiveWaste, jimtastic56, Rampage and 3 others 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention those already away. I missed the Boro game and will also miss the forest game. But I do know several people that just haven’t bothered to renew. Don’t think the support of the team has suffered from the games I’ve been to though even with half a crowd there, probably better if anything and I’m sure they will return Carl Sagan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only recent comers get shirty over it Hi Rams fans - undercover red here and as the name says I do come in peace, never quite got my head round the bad feeling between our two sides, anyway - to your point we have not been called Notts for over 100 years - the World Famous City Ground is indeed in the county and we moved there in 1898 but of course it was not always so. Forest originally played Shinty until 1865 when a meeting was called and we decided to switch to football and so formed the NFFC which makes us the world's oldest professional football club (since County's relegation to the national league) - the team played at various places with the city but in the most basic sense the club represented the City while Notts County represented the County - pretty simple really. We hate it for the same reason you'd hate being called Derby City or Derby Town, its not your name. It is weird that while we play at a stadium outside the City while Notts County's ground Meadow Lane in inside the city limits. As for the game I can confirm that many of us think you have a good chance to get your first win since 2017 because for all his faults Rooney's apparently managed to at least create a fighting spirit and siege mentality which is working for you while we don't seem to know what we're doing apart from making a team that is less than the sum of its parts.

And football in England was indeed called "soccer" originally but that is not the name that was officially adopted and agreed upon as the canon name for the game and the vagaries of a random printer's mis-spelling a hundred years ago not more dictates the name of a club for perpetuity than I don't know if your teacher wrote Philip rather than Phillip on your school report. But by all means sit in the corner of the pub chuntering in to your beer that "it is Notts - I read it once so there".... while the rest of the world just smiles in your direction, sighs and carries on with things that aren't utterly trivial.

That wouldn’t fit with the Notts narrative because Sheffield City (1860) would then be the oldest team in the world.
