    45 years...where did they go?

    Today is the 45th Anniversary of my first Notts match. We won 4-1 at home to Tranmere to go up into the Second Division (what is now called The Championship of course, for our younger viewers ).

    Let's hope it's a good omen

    I was there. Stevie (Magic) Carter couldn't even get on the pitch.

    That was the last time we were promoted on the final day of the season (not counting play off finals of course).
    Could it happen again this year?

    Missed it

    Left my wife-to-be to come back from Australia and make the wedding plans and that was the date she chose. Got to a couple of other matches but not that one.

    Notts have fared better than the marriage did!

    I can remember champagne corks being popped on the County Road terrace a few minutes before the end. Wouldn’t be allowed these days.

    That's not saying an awful lot for your marriage!

    I'm three wives on since that game. I was in the Main Stand seats with my Dad for some reason, we didn't usually do seats. I vaguely remember being given some complementaries by a player outside. The thing is, we didn't piss around that day, we went for the jugular. The current team would Nancy around trying not to lose.
