    Do you think we will put up the old signs again?

    We've already put the side signs up!

    And yeah, they don't even come close to being the oldest if that is their angle! Probably annoys them even more that they're not even 2nd or 3rd with Wrexham joining us!

    How does being in the Premier League still count as being "a Football league club" if being in the National League doesn't?

    I actually read that thread on LTLF a lot, it's mainly stuff about them building a new main stand.

    Last season was odd (perhaps unique?), with Nottingham having no Football League club on either side of the Trent. At least now we have one again!
