Notts County trying to run before they can crawl?

[Power to people]

I really do fear for them, Sven has no experience of lower league football and when it all goes pear shaped he'll be there wanting his money and taking them to the cleaners.

I read that their TRUST gave the new owners their 60% holding in the club. The new owners have paid off all tghe debts except those owed to their trust.
I assume that their trust has got their eye on the ball.
As for the 6:1 ratio, when at college in the 70's I used to hitchhike down from South Yorkshire on the basis of those rumours. Trouble was it was ussually about 2-3 in the morning when the clubs chuckked us out so by the time we got to Nottingham ay about 5 in the morning their was no sign of any totty what so ever.

Got rellies in Nottingham, and it used to be true, a lot of the single female population are now over 65 , Reg would still be in clover.

Quality...probably had a few of them 30 years ago.

Hmm, from what I can gather their Trust is pretty much split down the middle over the whole thing, there's been a lot of controversy locally about whether they should have just handed over the shares/whether they had any choice/how the Trust board managed the shareholding before the takeover.

I think there were a few resignations from the trust and trust board over this as well

Hey, I live in Nottingham & yes,the 6 bints to every bloke is a bit of a myth although there is some smart totty around. Some of the 30 year olds do bear an uncanny resemblance to Reg though!
Regarding the Sven appointment, most of the Notts fans are in shock.  They want to believe that it is the beginning of a new era but have this worry that it will all go pear shaped. Many of them have the reservations that are being expressed here.  Who are the backers?  A wealthy Middle East based consortium apparently but no names have been released other than the new Chief Executive Trembling & 1 other English person. They are worried about who will do what - McPartland is still manager but difficult to see Sven sitting quietly in the stands when Notts are getting a hiding at home.  Surely he'll be more hands on than that. Also no clues as to their players budget for next season although I see Lee Hughes has now signed for them, terms no longer a problem apparently.  All the talk is of the Championship in 5 years & becoming Nottingham's no.1 club but there is a lack of transparency about everything.  Reminds me of when the Portuguese Consortium were taking over the Town - plenty of aspirations but little substance.  The fans trust were not very well funded & had little choice other than to sell to Munto Finance.  However the club had no debts apparently so the fans are mystified by the £1 million debt that the consortium claim to have cleared. All very strange.
I hope that Notts do have a good future but it all seems to good to be true.

Is that army surplus store next to Meadow Lane still there? I used to always go in there prior to the away fixture.

I remember one time the shopkeeper appeared (all very Mr Ben like) and accused me of trying to steal some of his merchandise by hiding it under my STFC flag.... bloody cheek...
