Fans so proud

Last updated : 16 December 2004 By Richard Brown

If you’re not aware of NCM’s legendary messageboard then believe me when I say you ARE missing out! Below you can find the best and the rest of praise and grumble following County’s progression to the FA Cup Third Round.

"Best since the Great Escape"
"I’m so proud not only of the performance but of the fans, the manager, the injured players (Scoffham, Ullathorne, Edwards) all there n supporting Notts. I’ve had friends say to me this morning they will be coming to watch Notts because of how impressed they were, and even though Swindon were poor you have to beat whatever comes in front of you and we did."

"Everybody that has something to do with Notts County will feel proud after that performance last night. I was surprised at how many people asked me what the score was, and liked the result, must have been at least 25 people. Even a tram stopped just so the driver could ask us what the score was, it felt great saying it over and over again!"

"After last Saturday’s game I thought no way am I going to see them against Swindon, but at six last night I thought ah well as long as they try I don’t care, well blow me over with a feather that was the best game I've seen all season Notts were fantastic, they played with so much grit and determination they made Swindon look none league.

"If Notts can raise there game for the cup they can do in the league, if they were to play like that then at the end of the season we would be at least in the playoffs.

"Well done lads you should be very proud of yourselves fantastic."

"Richo is a man on a mission, he is confident and relaxed. True Professional. Anyone doubting Richo's ability as a manager after last night doesn’t really know what they’re talking about. Any manager who can get 11 players to perform like that whilst dealing with so many injuries is worth his weight in gold.

"A performance full of true grit and determination- the best overall live TV performance of any Notts County side ever - Richo is a 100% as a player- he will be 100%er as a manager too- and Notts County should hold on to his coat tails very tightly. RICHO – TOP MAN!

"Richo is a man on a mission."
"Totally delighted. We played well and controlled the game throughout. But what a poor and uninterested side Swindon looked.

"With a big money-spinning tie at stake in the next round, I cannot understand their style of play and apparent disinterest. Even Andy King looked uninspired.

"Totally superb from top to bottom, hope the inbreds were watching on their 12" black and white TVs"

"Thanks to the fans for making as much noise as we did. I had a headache when I got home and could hardly speak but it was thoroughly worth it. Without a doubt the best atmosphere since the Great Escape, not bad considering how few of us there was.

Finally, a massive thanks to Richo and the players for a magnificent performance. After the past two results it was nice to see you perform how we all know that you can. I just hope that you can continue this in the league."
