(PLEASE NOTE THIS ARTICLE WAS WRITTEN BEFORE THE SACKING OF MANAGER MICK WADSWORTH ON WEDNESDAY)
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN SUPPORTING YOUR CLUB?
DG: Over 20 years
LW: 8 years
G: I've been supporting Town for 10 years now. I first saw the terriers when I was 8 years old; I'm 18 now. 
WHO IS YOUR ALL TIME FAVOURITE PLAYERS FOR YOUR TEAM?
DG: Marcus Stewart and Martin Smith
LW: Tom Cowan - Showed passion and pride in the blue and white!
G: Andy Booth, Marcus Stewart, Tom Cowan and Steve Francis.
WHICH CHANT IS MOST LIKELY TO BE STARTED BY YOUR FANS?
DG: Micky Wadsworth, is a w**ker, is a w**ker!
LW: Wadsworth Out!
G: Chant? What chant? We hardly ever sing! OK, maybe something like "We're Yorkshire!"
WHAT IS THE BIGGEST PROBLEM YOU SIDE HAS AT THE MOMENT? I.e. not finishing chances, injuries, finances etc
DG: All of the above. I suppose finances are the biggest worry.
LW: Money, been 6 million in debt and playing in a stadium you cant afford really doesn’t help and the fact we’ve scored 29 goals in 39 sums it up really!
G: Well, let's see. We can't finish (7 goals away from home says it all), we've got at least 5 key players out injured, we're 7 million in debt and have a manager who doesn't know naff all when it comes to tactics!
HOW MANY OF YOUR FANS DO YOU EXPECT TO BE AT THE GAME?
DG: 700
LW: 7-800
G: How many can your end hold? We should bring a fair few; our away support's pretty good.

DG: Nathan Clarke is out for the season. Gareth Evans is out for the season. Eddie Youds misses most games. Andy Booth plays despite injuries.
LW: Well half our team is out at the moment and having such a small squad means that there’s quiet a few youth players in there. Kevin Sharp will be suspended, which is probably a good thing!
G: Eddie Youds, Nathan Clarke, Scott Bevan, Gareth Evans, Dwayne Mattis are all key players and are currently out injured. Kevin Sharp will miss the game through suspension.
WHAT DID YOU THINK OF THE GAME EARLIER THIS SEASON BETWEEN THE SIDES?
DG: Notts County were the second worst team I'd seen all season after Huddersfield. Remarkably we seemed to win the midfield battle which doesn't happen often.
LW: Fantastic! After going umpteen games with out scoring, to get 3 in one was amazing! Hope we can repeat it!
G: It was probably our best game of the entire season! We kept a clean sheet and scored 3 goals, which was truly an amazing feat for us. Hopefully we can repeat it against you this Saturday.
WILL YOU BE COMING TO MEADOW LANE FOR THE GAME? IF SO DO YOU LIKE COMING TO THE LANE/NOTTINGHAM IN GENERAL?
DG: Yes and yes. We've had a few good wins against Forest in recent years but not much from County. Always seem to get stuck in traffic around the ground(s) though.
LW: No, I hate to admit it but after Saturday’s game I was feeling so down and disheartened I refused to part with my money!
I came last season and it was a great experience. You needed to win to complete your 'great escape' and we were guaranteed of a playoff spot so no pressure! Full crowd and about 4000 town fans all singing. Definitely one of my favourite away stands!
G: I can't make the game because I've got to work I'm afraid.

SO FAR HAS YOUR TEAM LIVED UP TO WHAT YOU EXPECTED BEFORE THE SEASON STARTED? IF NOT, WHAT NEEDS CHANGING?
DG: No. The chairman needs pushing off a cliff and the manager needs to be tied to the chairman's ankle.
LW: No. Everything needs to be changed! New players new chairman and definitely new manager!!
G: Our team has definitely not lived up to the expectations set before the season started. Most of our fans were expecting automatic promotion after finishing in the play-offs last year.
SCORE PREDICTION?
DG: 2-0 to County
LW: 1-1 can’t see us getting more than a point
G: 1-0 to the Town!
