I have one of the 150th anniversary Notts watches. I think they only made 150 of them. Never worn it and will probably end up on Fleabay when it's worth a fortune! LOL.

Didn't the Anglo-Italian cup and the play off scroll things we were presented with in 1990 and 1991 disappear from ML at the time we went into admin?
Those must be somebody's prized possession if so.

Still have my wooden Davenport Beer at Home Crate that I used to take down the lane in the 50's used to stand on it in the old kop... My Grand-dad bless him painted it black and white...Its takes pride of place in my man shed...

Sold my treasured collection of pre 1925 programmes (all Notts, including a few from 1894) a few years back.

Still miss them (although I've got copies)...... Hammer price, at auction....£8k

That's absolutely amazing.

Don't have mine any more. My dad and I went to the end of season dinner in 1981. Think it was at a hotel, but can't remember which one (was it the Commodore maybe?). At the end of dinner raffle, they had a signed football as a prize. I REALLY wanted that football, and I suspect that there was a bit of a fix (thank you John Mounteney!) as I won it.

My dad died in 1991 and my ball went in his coffin. After his cremation, his ashes were buried in the goal at the Meadow Lane end (he was born and brought up on ML). So he and the ball went back home

Yes, indeed a lovely, emotional memory.

I used to go to all the Commodore "do's" We probably knew each other (by sight), which begs the question:did you know the Cumberpatch's? John and Anne....they lived a bit further up Meadow Lane. Also the Millers....had two girls Josie and Pauline who used to go to all the matches and do's. Lovely people, and lovely memories. My wife was a Notts County Golden Girl in the day.

A little story from the old days: I flew up to Carlisle with the team (thence to Workington for a match). The air hostess coming
down the plane bent over Don Masson,sitting in front of me, pointed at Tony Hateley , and asked "Is he very important?"........

No....he just thinks he is,replied Don.

That 1898 card for the Xmas Eve Villa match would have been the 3rd game in which the "Results board" was used. No radio in those days and I've speculated before that they must have had somebody on a telephone jotting them down and then running over to the scoreboard to put them up, but actually - thinking about it - it would have been more practical for clubs to use a telegraph machine. If so, that would be quite an item to be in possession of now, Notts County's telegraph machine.
I don't think any of the reports of Notts first game at Meadow Lane mentioned a "new" scoreboard, if not then could it have been the same one from Trent Bridge that lasted all the way through to 1963?
