WHICH STAND DO YOU USUALLY SIT IN ?
Sirrel Stand.
WHERE ARE YOU FROM ?
Bingham (but now living in Edinburgh).
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN A NOTTS FAN ?
20 years.
WHY DID YOU START TO SUPPORT NOTTS, AND NOT THE SCUM OVER THE WATER ?
My dad moved to Nottingham and being of above-average intelligence naturally
rejected the idea of supporting F*****. He took me to a game and I was
hooked.

John Chiedozie, Dean Yates, Mark Draper and Tommy Johnson.
WHAT WAS THE FIRST NOTTS GAME YOU EVER WENT TO ?
4-0 v Wolves Feb 1982 - a birthday day out which changed my life!
WHAT IS THE BEST NOTTS GAME YOU HAVE EVER BEEN TO ?
There have been a few memorable ones. The first was beating F***** 3-2 at
home in '82. Then there were the Play - 0ff finals against Tranmere and
Brighton. I also have great memories of the cup games in 91 against Man City
and Spurs, in fact we always seem to have memorable cup ties against
Tottenham!
More recently the 5-3 win at Lincoln in the Championship season was great,
but above all these is "Sir" Charlie Palmers late winner against F***** !
WHAT IS THE WORST NOTTS GAME YOU HAVE EVER BEEN TO ?
That 5-1 defeat at Walsall a couple of years ago was pretty bad, and the
least said about the 0-4 game against F***** the better!
WHO HAVE BEEN THE BEST OPPOSITION YOU HAVE EVER SEEN AT MEADOW LANE ?
Leeds 91-92 Championship team.
|
WHO HAS BEEN THE BEST OPPOSITION PLAYER YOU HAVE EVER SEEN DOWN AT THE LANE ?
Gary Lineker - tore us apart.
WHAT HAS BEEN THE BEST AWAY GROUND YOU HAVE EVER BEEN TO ?
Hillsborough.
WHAT HAS BEEN THE WORST AWAY GROUND YOU HAVE EVER BEEN TO ?
Bath City (when Bristol Rovers played there) - terrible pitch, terrible
stadium, terrible game (0-0)!
WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR FUNNIEST MOMENT DOWN AT NOTTS COUNTY ?
Devon White's entire Notts career!
BEST MOMENT AS A NOTTS FAN ?
Promotion to Division One in 1991.
WORST MOMENT AS A NOTTS FAN ?
Relegation to Division 3.

Nick Fenton.
WHICH PLAYER( S ) WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE DEARDEN NOT PICKING ON A REGULAR BASIS ?
Ian Baraclough.
WHO LOOKS THE MOST EXCITING PROSPECT AT THE LANE ?
Paul Heffernan - he's skillful, exciting and scores goals.
WHAT HAS DISAPPOINTED YOU MOST SO FAR THIS SEASON ?
The poor start and Darren Caskey's inconsistency.
WHAT KIND OF PLAYERS DO YOU THINK NOTTS NEED IN ORDER TO GET OUT OF THIS DIVISION?
We've got decent strikers and an okay defence. If we can find more
inspiration in midfield, and Caskey plays up to his potential, then we can
beat anyone.
Failing that I'd accept Zinedine Zidane! (or Mark Draper!)
AND FINALLY, WHERE DO YOU THINK NOTTS WILL END UP THIS SEASON?
Realistically I think mid table would be okay from where we are now, but if
we could get in the top half by Xmas then you never know ! Let's pray that
we don't have to put up with another relegation battle...............
