They are though games, will be good to see how our new squad gets on.
Disappointing we don't have a first team game against Alfreton again, I really enjoyed the trips there pre season
I rarely bother with friendlies unless they are with our Red Brothers so i was hoping for a visit to the temple of sin, but something seems to have gone amiss with our "special relationship". >;)>;)
I think I might give Luton away a miss.

I was so enthusiastic with my last trip there and couldn’t hide my excitement of luton again
I’m sure elite would recomend a few watering holes for us to indulge in a pre-match drink or two

It's a bit of a journey for a friendly, but I suspect the fixture owes to the growing positive relationship between the clubs, including the managers and fans, which was evident on the last day of the season (despite Hylton's sending off! ;) ). Personally I welcome that. If football clubs can have certain clubs they regard as arch-rivals, why not have some clubs we get on with as well!Quote:

"Re-arranged from 24th October. Despite this being a mid-week fixture, the match kicked off in the afternoon due to the energy crisis (during which floodlights were banned for sporting events) hence the low crowd. It was a must win against 3rd place Luton if Notts were seriously going to revive a promotion challenge, but at the finish County were relieved to come away with a point. Luton had two penalty appeals turned down in the closing minutes and Jim Ryan was booked for protesting, the home side also saw two efforts cleared off the line by Bill Brindley. Luton had gone ahead on 65 through a deflected Peter Anderson long range strike but Notts equalised with a 20 yard Eric Probert shot that curled around a crowd of players. Eddie Cliff limped off before half-time with a damaged ankle".
