The U's v WE'RE BACK AFTER 1,471 DAYS MAGGIES

Posted by M64 on August 3, 2023, 7:35 pm

...not that I was counting.

Foxie and I want to say hello and welcome to our 60th season of supporting Notts County.

That day in May seems so far away and yet seems like yesterday.

Where do you all think we will finish, Kyle Cameron has us getting promoted.

I expect a top seven finish at least.

Those old enough to remember, is that anyone out there, may think like me that this moment reminds one of the start of the 1971/72 season, back in the old Third Division after seven seasons in Div 4.

You could feel with the great Jimmy Sirrel and the players we had we were gaining momentum and Notts were back on the up.

Within 10 years we were back in the top flight of English football.

If we can keep the owners and the manager, I am sure that is where we are heading again.

All this will start on Saturday with a 2-0 away win in south west London.

I'll be there with my new shirt proclaiming on its back the word ...

SEASONS...under which the number
60
may be seen.

As always...

WE'RE THE ONE AND ONLY EXILES...GRRRR

Good to hear from you, Maggie.
I think we will get promoted this season.
With that said so I thought the last prvious seasons as well.
So there I have got 1 out of 4.
My saasons also have an anniversary, when I think of it, I have 50 under my belt.
I think you have picked the correct match prediction, Maggie.
To make it more interesting I pick 3-1 to Notts.

Well that makes it 171 between us its my 61st.
Reminds of my football team that I coach here in NZ, our defence has two center backs and a goalkeeper we have 174 years between the 3 of us and were still going strong.

Loved the play offs and final would have loved to have been there but it was 2 very late nights in front of the box instead. Just got the match pass for the season so it will be one hell of a ride and up early to watch all the games. got permission from the boss so long as I dont wake
her with the shouting of GET IN.

Will we get promotion? well with the momentun why not? If we get off to a good start it may well happen. Just seen to Magpies in the paddocks so a good sign eh, 1 for sorrow 2 for joy so it goes!!!

Gonna go with 4-1 and think Sutton will struggle this season.

Regards to all from a cool NZ

2 out of 3 aint a bad start young Swedish.
Off to the land of nod shortly early to rise in about 3 and a half hours Yikesssss but it will be worth it hopefully so to see the resurgent Magpies.
See you all laters.

Regards Swedish

To me, this one is difficult to predict as Sutton have been solidly around the playoff area since coming up, but Notts in theory have better momentum, albeit against weaker opposition.

Much as I want a County win I'm going for an opening day draw 2-2
