Saturday 16th November

The stand itself is just about okay, it’s the steps and the concourse bit behind that’s the problem, just isn’t safe.

And that’s the problem most of our fans have, they don’t realise the situation in that stand as we have pretty good facilities in the home stands. Must admit the last time I sat in the away end was when it was the old home Popular Side in the 90’s, so I can’t remember what it was like in the concourse.

Reasonable post.

But comments like 'ugly fans shit ground' (to go with the nonce comments last week) are always going to get fans backs up.

Fair enough, I take back the shit ground comment.

I’d add as well that as I’ve said before I find the whining about injuries extremely tedious. Whoever we have out, we’ve got to create more than what we did today. Maynard’s record so far suggests he can only win games when he’s got all of Didzy, Crowley, Jatta and Jones to pick from. Oh yes and after we’ve signed some decent defenders.

Is there any chance he might y’know, coach people to get a bit better?

That Lyle Taylor is a proper wanker.

In good company today,,,,

The stand itself isn’t too bad but the access to it at Crewe, that one entrance half way is a nightmare and get in and out.

Will caveat that say the Notts away end was not great in the concourse either, especially for the loo!

We had restrictions on attendances in the last promotion season and never understood it when the access around our stands was nothing like that with the Paddock for example an open concourse and access in front (not sure what the exact reason was in the end).

As with everything though sorting it comes down to money of course and grounds like Crewe being in the middle of the community don’t necessarily have the room around it like the newer stadiums on the edge of a town or a retail park.

Really, just what has happened to this division when you can no longer win away at Crewe after gambling half of your sizeable budget on Gambian strikers, top end L1 crocks and 36 year olds? There should be some sort of rules in place that stop games from going ahead under the circumstances that Notts had to face today. People will start thinking it's a squad game or something.

Deserved to lose today, we worked hard but we just didn't have enough creativity to go to a top six L2 side and earn a point.
Penalty decision was a shocker I was at the other end and could see he slipped and on slow motion replay he slipped, just a crap decision. At 1 -0 you have a chance, two down with that team and bench and we'd no chance.
I don't blame Maynard, to get to mid November unbeaten away is not bad management and he's not been lucky with injuries at all this season.

Winning back to back away games at Crewe 3-0 isn’t for everybody mate.

Are Crewe going to bring more than 1,200 to us?

I thought Notts were very average at best. They had a few missing, but so did we, and some of our lads on the bench are still not ready for much game time just yet. The penalty looked daft, and Longy probably did deserve a red even though I doubt he meant it, but no way we’re losing that game to such a bang average team, who we seem to have in our pocket the last few seasons, well at least since they have come back from non-league.

On to a week on Monday, big game against the Vale, a proper local derby despite what some say on either side, but in a weird way I respect what they are doing as they have had some basket case owners and managers over the recent years, and they are are proper old school club. But they should beat us shouldn’t they, with all their money and having 3 decent players in each postion (so I have read on here), anything else would be a disaster for them, wouldn’t it?

It’s not a proper local derby. It might be for you, but it isn’t for us. I don’t know one Crewe fan.
