Makes sense that the results trailed off as soon as we reached the breweries. I’d love to know the story behind that particular tour. This is what Dave McVay wrote in “Steak, Diana Ross…”Originally Posted by 60YearsAPie
“RONNIE FENTON: While Jimmy went to Sheffield, Ronnie endured an unhappy Notts County tenure although he was responsible for boldly going where no Notts manager had gone before, beyond Gibraltar on exotic tours to Magaluf and Kenya.”

Norwich City were originally booked for the Kenyan trip but had to pull out. Thanks to a parliamentary colleague of Jack Dunnett’s telling him of this, Notts replaced them. The trip was sponsored by the brewery, who paid for Notts’ flights, and a five-star hotel on the coast. They were offered an extension to the tour to include Uganda, but as Idi Amin was in charge back then, Notts turned the offer down.

That’s brilliant, thanks!

Last time we played Leicester in a pre season friendly, they gave us a right run around.
Might be better off having a 5 a side against a full Derby squad!
