"The amount of people that came down with smiles on their faces and wearing the new shirts - it was definitely a really good day.
"And, from what's been on the messageboards and things like that, everyone seemed to really enjoy it, which was obviously the main thing.
"A lot of the players and the management staff were blown away by the amount of people coming up for autographs - they couldn't believe it.
"Little things like that makes them realise what the club can be.
"It was a good team effort by everybody and a big thanks goes to Cheryl from the conferencing team, the Supporters' Trust and all the volunteers - without them, it wouldn't have been what it was."

Also bellowing around the arena was the new song, Two 'Pies on the Shirt, which was being greeted warmly by everyone - shown by the number of people registering their interest in its forthcoming release.
The new shirts - despite a somewhat negative initial response - were selling very well, with scores of County fans proudly sporting them.
These were placed into a competition alongside the rest of Notts' past kits - of which a number were on display - for a vote to decide what the best ever strip was.
Other familiar faces were Colin Slater in his press box, and Ian Richardson with the Football in the Community staff, hosting a number of shooting activities, all contributing to a fantastic day.
Rounding off were the Centre of Excellence final trials, which the club will be vastly encouraged by.
