Fans can help
Feature by Rob Davies
Updated Thursday, 4th September 2003
If you are like me and thousands of other Notts fans & have been inconsolable for the past 2 days, there is ways you can help, other than just donating money.

Article's on various websites & the NEP today have, once again, been contrasting and it's hard to make sense of what's happening, which is why NCM has kept a deliberate silence so far today.

Roman Abramovich
Fans have been desperately doing all they can to try and save the club with one sending a direct letter to Chelsea chairman Roman Abramovich urging him to buy our club.

Roman appears to have a geniune love for the English game and the man that wrote the letter was on to a good thing, even if Roman can't buy the club himself he surely has some very rich friends who might at least consider it.

However, admittedly this is an extremely long shot.

I've also heard of lots of Notts fans writing to the Football League, begging them to be lenient in today's meeting.

I urge all Notts fans to e-mail the Football League on this address fl@football-league.co.uk that was kindly supplied by Dave Watson.

Surely it can't do any harm can it?

If the Football League see how many people care about Notts, surely it should at least be a small factor in Monday's meeting.

Supporter's Trust chairman David Hindley has today urged Notts' fans to dig deep in their pockets, sighting York as our example.

He insists Notts can get out of this mess and says the trust hopes to raise in the region of £250,000- £500,000.

Just one of the many clubs that have offered support
There is also a fans surgery after Saturday's game in the Lawton Room between 5.15- 6.15 to inform the supporter's of all the latest, forget the England game and go to this, your club needs you!!

I'd also like to thank the kind message's from supporter's of other clubs on the messageboard.

It's times like this it makes you proud to be a football fan.

Finally I echo my statement's made earlier this week in saying as a Notts fan you HAVE TO attend Saturday's game.

I know so many Notts fans who never missed a game in year's and then in the past 3-4 have just stopped going.

Those fans need to attend Saturday, as every Notts fan needs to show their appreciation to the players, the manager and all the non-playing staff that have had to work under such difficult circumstances in the past year and a half.

Notts fans have to prove they care about the club and that means, at the very least, you should attend Saturday.

SAVE OUR CLUB!!!!
