Ten things...

Notts County
1 County celebrated their centenary way back in 1962, which in itself is much more than half a lifetime ago on the old terraces.
2 In early days they played in the Meadows area of the city and against another local side at Forest Recreation Ground. Thus Nottingham hosted a first recognised derby that came long before one versus er, Derby.
3 Both Forest and County played at Trent Bridge but the latter eleven also had spell at a modest cricket club in Beeston. It was that old gentlemen and players routine of class distinction taken to extreme city limits.
4 As the Football League kicked off, County initially held their end up but eventually ended up in a crucial play-off. Believe it or not for a relegation place decider to div2.
5 Before WW1 the club belatedly moved into Meadow Lane to stay. Their goalie was such a household name they called one of the streets near their new ground Iremonger Road, to thus save mishandling a final stoppage-time incident.
6 Before WW2 the club struggled to find home support and dropped into third division south. There was even talk of merger with neighbours Forest. Across the river banks, it very soon all went quiet over there too.
7 In an incredible decade after WW2 County went back to div2 and down to div4. So Magpies sadly had two for sorrow and only one for joy in a dramatic reversal of fortune.
8 Chairman Dunnett and Manager Sirrel were responsible for take-off and rise of high flying Magpies in the seventies. With Avaramovic between the posts they were then in keeping with those big div1 outfits, like sixty years before in a similar event handled by history.
9 In the eighties there came yet another crash but also a saviour. Oh no, it couldn't possibly be but yes, it only blinking was - Warnock.
10 Approaching 150 years of trying and they still aspire to permanent greatness. It might take another 50 or so potentially just to get there but it's not in black and white.
