One year on from the club being saved and administration being escaped, it was billed as a thankyou day and the fans did their part to celebrate by over 6,500 of them turning up - the best attendance of the season.
They were let down, and the Notts players let themselves down, with a thoroughly inept performance which led to Wycombe Wanderers once again not going away from Nottingham empty handed.
This was the Wanderers fifth successive visit to Notts without defeat, three wins and two draws now having been chalked up.
Not even having eight players missing through injury, illness and suspension could wholly explain the poverty of the Notts display which far from improving, actually deteriorated as the game progressed.
Notts had only three scoring efforts on target in the first half and absolutely none in the second - a statistic which tells its own story.
The best of the three scoring efforts was delivered by Matty Williams whose quick footwork carried him away from two challenges before forcing a fine save from Wycombe goalkeeper Frank Talia.
Talia should also have been more severely tested when the otherwise lacklustre Stefan Oakes put Chris O'Grady in the clear, but the front man needed too long to bring the ball under control and his eventual finishing effort was blocked on the line.
Wycombe were always the more dangerous and their goal on 42 minutes was no more than they deserved yet it might have been prevented by a more experienced back three than Notts were able to field.
From the edge of the penalty area Ian Stonebridge delivered a crisp low shot into the bottom left hand corner of Wayne Henderson's net and the on-loan goalkeeper from Aston villa was left without the remotest chance of saving.
Wycombe had the better chances in a second half which they dominated but which served up poor fare for the fans.
Ironically it was an attempted clearance by Notts defender Mike Whitlow which went closest to a second Wycombe goal but the ball came back off the foot of the post and was hacked to safety.
