There's probably a fair few who have ancestors that went to Trent Bridge, or even some of the other grounds we played at, but are unaware that they did, especially the relatives assumed to be exclusively Fword fans. The further you go back, the more fluid the support seems to be.Originally Posted by cher1
I didn't know my maternal Grandfather very well but I know he was a big football fan, chiefly of Fword but he did go to watch other clubs, often going to Carrow Road (his best friend supported Norwich) as well as local non-league, so he must have watched Notts occasionally and for all I know his dad may have done also, in which case that would have been Trent Bridge era.
The earliest solid connection I can make with my family to Notts would be my paternal Grandfather's brother who had a trial for Notts as a goalkeeper when he was about 18 (late 1920s). He was asked back for a second look but sadly for him he had an accident at work and lost half of his foot, so that was that.
