Am I going to fast for you? On that basis 5th is mid-table, 8th is just above the drop zone so in a Notts sense 10th would be equivalent to a relegation season. If you want to compare us as equals with Dover Athletic, this won't make any sense to you because in a literal sense 10th obviously wouldn't mean relegation. I prefer to think we have a bit more chance than Dover Athletic.



    It took a while, but I think we're getting there. So 8th is definitely above mid-table, but you wouldn't be happy with it. So you are obviously looking at what Notts can reasonably expect rather than what an average NL team can expect.

    That's exactly what 'IN A NOTTS SENSE' means!
    That's great you could of just said "yes, 10th = relegation" but you do it your way lol.

    Until today I've never heard anyone use the phrase "Notts sense" until you did and I certainly haven't linked it to traditional league positions of champions, playoffs, top half, middle table, lower half, relegation zone. You know the ones football fans use.

    The best part is the guy who claimed 5th was mid-table never qualified it as in a "Notts sense". Tut tut, if he had this would have all made sense. But he didn't lol

    We've got great owners, they are one of the best ever, in a 'Notts sense' because they pay the milk bill on time.

    I think I'm going to use 'Notts sense' quite a bit next season will come in useful

    It was hard work, but I'm glad I finally got through to you in the end. It's known as 'perspective', and it's really not a difficult concept to grasp. For example Man U finishing 6th would be a disaster for most of their fans, while Brentford fans would probably see 13th place as a good season.
