Order restored on this thread, good to see! God knows what state it will be in this time tomorrow :bg:

Predictions? I’m going 1-1, Grant to put the visitors ahead but Hemmings stepping off the bench to net a 2nd half equaliser.

At least the weather forecast is a hell of a lot better than last season!

Last season was fun. Sun, blizzard, sun, blizzard.

They’ve been close games at meadow lane and a draw tomorrow looks a good bet. After the surprise loss at Newport results both Saturday and on Tuesday really went out way, we’ve got to start pushing on again.

Just a shame those tinpot bastards in Sheffield have a older club and Stadium, but we all know the true foundation of professional football is in Nottinghamshire.

Our exact foundation date is a bit uncertain but we seem to have stemmed out of the Robin Hood Rifles volunteer regiment that was raised in 1859. There's evidence that at least some founding members regarded the club's starting date as being around then. There's a good chance our founding members (if not an official club) were one of the first teams to play at Field Mill.

Also one of the first senior clubs in Mansfield was Greenhalgh's, founded by former Notts County captain Harwood Greenhalgh. ;)

So basically on show tomorrow you’ve got the creation of football folks.

Oldest league club in the world vs oldest league ground in the world, no wonder folks on here are asking for it to be put on tv!

He founded Greenhalgh’s before he was captain of County.

I didn't know that! Very interesting.

Nottingham seems like an unusual case in that it was the first two clubs to be founded that are still around as the city's main sides. There were clubs in most of the surrounding towns and cities from the 1860s onward (some of which predated Notts and Forest), but in most those other places the first clubs were supplanted by later arrivals (and even in Sheffield I think United are 1880s).

Prediction time, I think Notts will win 2-1. Really looking forward to it, just wish we were at the right end of the table.

One thing that’s giving me concern is if we play our usual system that has been such a success we don’t have the players available for a full starting line up in the correct positions.

DF has suggested we are changing it around, be interesting if he’s bluffing or not.

1-1.

You’ve certainly improved player wise in January but still far from the quality we’ve got. That said you’re at home and every games a cup final when you’re bottom (don’t mean that in reference to it being a cup final as it’s mansfield).

If we play our game we won’t lose. We’ve just got to play our way and if we do we’ve a great chance of winning it.

The Mansfield fans know we’re going to be in for a game tomorrow though and it’ll be tough, it’ll be fun though and may the best team win

The fact is after so many attempts, county have got to beat us at some stage, what is it now? 12/13 games ago?

11 I think. Pretty sure early 2005/06 at FM was the last time. We scored twice in the last 5 minutes or so to win 3-2.

As for tomorrow's game, I'd be a bit more confident if Newport hadn't beaten you last week truth be told. Had that not happened you might have strode in expecting an easy time of it and got a shock. As it is I expect you'll be ready. I'm trying to rationalise it and think we've already far exceeded my expectations from this run of three matches, but it would be nice to finally break the duck.

For anyone who likes a bet, the 9/4 Skybet are offering on 3+ Notts cards strikes me as unbelievably generous, as does the evens for 4+ cards overall.

The one thing about today that is a banker is Bish getting a yellow card and being suspended for two games.

Those odds do sound generous, more depends on the referee’s stats more than the fixture but i’m in as I’m not betting on the game. I think we will lose but the Stags odds are skinny.

If you can combine Bishop yellow card with Grant scoring, i’d love to bet that

Sky bet will do that for ya I imagine if you request it.

2-1 (hopefully) to the stags and the pies can fuck right off until the final whistle, and then I wish them luck staying up. COYS

We're due a home win and a win against the Stags. The bookies haven't fully woken up to us having eight new first team ready players yet. 7/2 for the win is good odds.

Been into town this morning and it's already crawling with police. This annual overreaction when Notts Police show what would happen if Nottingham ever hosted the Rome derby is one of the special things about this occasion.

I totally agree with all that, and from a betting point of view it’s a very good bet but....... and it’s a huge BUT........ the curse

It’s very hard to break a curse poltergeist taught me that 1-3

Nice to know they’re not just incompetent in Mansfield then. With the greatest respect the best way to avoid trouble today is for the police to chill and not create their own problems. It’s like they look for trouble.

There isn’t and never has been any niggle between the 2 sets of fans, had a cracking chat with 3 county lads early on.

The decision not to send whoever that was off there is beyond all belief.

In common parlance, he seems to have ‘bottled it’

I don’t see how though. There was no question at all - he’s completely clean through and Turner’s just hauled him over.

We have been absolutely dreadful and haven’t had one proper attempt at goal, not looking good. County look dangerous.

We're playing well here but I'm a worried we should have had more of our chances.

My big worry here is that this should be more than one and Stags surely can’t be that bad again in the second half. Still fucked off about the non red card.

The sun is blinding me but it looked a absolute banker red. My only complaint is he didn’t let us play a free-kick 30 seconds later.
