I'm sure the historians will be all over it. I we do lose that particular ''moniker'', lets hope it brings a change in fortune.

The claim seems somewhat tenuous.

And on the same basis I think we can now legitimately claim 1197 to be our year. The public house ye olde trip to Jerusalem was opened in 1197, and past and present Notts County players have once drunk there.

Definitive. QED. Fact.

No we're definitely older than that. My mate reckons we had a battling forward called Harold Hastings with a shot like an arrow over a century before that. At least I think that's what he said.

During Jack Dunnett's time there was a headed business letter found that seemed to prove that Notts were actually in existence in 1860.

So C P you still miss out nah nah.

I have it on good authority that Notts County's first ever playoff wipeout led directly to the bronze age collapse.

We never really recovered from that.

Invention of the wheel = Notts. Unfortunately we were also the first to register a broken wheel.

Invention of farming = Notts. Introducing sheep to keep the grass under control.

Well it was after that teams starting putting some iron into their midfield but we're still waiting........
