Fill the Lane!!
Feature by Rob Davies
Updated Tuesday, 2nd September 2003
This time next week Notts might be out of financial trouble for the first time in a year and a half, or we may not exist in Football League terms.

It has been said that this could be the most important week in Notts' long, prestigious history and this could be very true.

The administrator, Paul Finnity, has given us the dreaded vote of confidence and Notts fans are rightly sceptical about how much we should believe his "confidence" as he first expressed that confidence back in May.

But the worrying thing is that EVERYONE at the club is being kept in the dark from the manager, to the players, to the fans. None of us have any real clue as to what is going on.

We're putting all our faith in Paul Finnity, a man who has clearly made mistakes over the summer but seems to have the clubs best interests at heart.

Finnity's mistakes have been well documented, but this could be a good thing as surely he has now learned from them.

If you go down to Meadow Lane it's a sad sight, Meadow Club boarded up, attendances dropping drastically and ofcourse the club shop is empty, bar it's 3 shirts, that just won't sell!

Show him your support
All that will need to be sorted and being in administration for a year & a half has certainly taken it's toll on the club.

However don't let this put you off, get down to the ground and really make some noise.

With it being a possibility that Saturday will be our last game, it is your duty as a Notts fan to turn up Saturday and support the team, hopefully to its first victory.

Don't boycott on the basis that Billy isn't playing the right team or on ticket prices being too high, if Notts go out of business next week you will always regret not going to their last game.

The lads have shown real effort in the last 2 games and stalwarts like Richo and Stal have really put their heart and sole on the line for the 'Pies.

So get down the Lane and give them plenty of support, lets show Pavis' businessmen how much this club means to us, the fans.

You Pies!!
