NOTTS COUNTY FC: ON THE BRINK OF EXTINCTION

Notts County is heading towards extinction in five days. There is a very real chance that the match at Meadow Lane against Luton Town this Saturday could be the last ever game for the world’s oldest League club.

We have all seen the news about how financial backers of the group put together by former Chairman Derek Pavis have withdrawn their support, leaving the future of the world’s oldest League club in serious doubt.

The administrators Kroll must now present a case for the future of the club at the Football League meeting on Monday, September 8th. Failure to do so may signal the end of Notts County’s 115-year membership of the League and the end of a vital piece of football history.

As this deadline approaches, representatives of the independent Supporters’ Trust continue to work ‘behind the scenes’ to help engineer a solution. Today, members of the Trust have discussed with the administrators Kroll how we the future of our football club can be secured, which is where YOU can help.

We are appealing to supporters everywhere to help secure the future of Notts County Football Club. We need everyone to give what they can. However small or large a donation – whether it is a £1, £100 or £1000 or more, together we can make a difference.

The Trust believes that with the goodwill of supporters everywhere we can raise between £250,000-500,000 by Monday - the deadline set by the Football League.

The Trust is not going to let the world’s oldest league club go out of business without a fight. The idea that Saturday’s match against Luton Town being the last is unthinkable. That would be a tragedy – not only for the people of Nottinghamshire but for our national game.

With all YOUR support we can be a part of saving the World’s Oldest League Club.

SAVE NOTTS!

Hi,

I've just started mailing the donation details to anyone I can, Government, Indie Man U supporters because every pound counts. Please do the same, let people know they can help and they will.

Come on, keep fighting and see you on Saturday loud and proud

Is the East Midland Regional Development agency involved as the should be promoting culture including sport in EM and Notts?????

Hi All,

Sorry if I stepped out of line, but I put the donation details on eBay to try and attract a larger audience. Don't know whether it's paid off, with only 59 looks at the page so far.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to attend on Saturday as I was at Father & Son Cub Camp with my youngest, but I wore one of my Notts shirts all day with pride and in solidarity.

Fingers crossed this afternoon.
