I've always had a soft sport for the underdogs in two club cities out of solidarity but I didn't realise how alike us and Vale are.

Unfortunately for Notts, last time we were owned by the fans the club ended up being hijacked by a small group of them who ran it without any regard to the views of others and eventually sold it to a convicted fraudster masquerading as Arab royalty. Just another weird story from our batshit...

Oh I definitely agree with that. But I do think it's unfair to say that Notts fans shouldn't have been happy on the balance of things up until last summer. As I say, there was plenty of reason to be upbeat.

And I think until last summer the but was largely justified. Seems weird saying this now but twelve months ago when I went to matches the team were good, crowds were good (and still are), the clubhouse was clean, adequately staffed with decent grub, the club shop was well stocked, whenever I had...

I think the vast majority of Notts fans always found the guy a bit of a knobhead (certainly me and the ones I know) but up until last summer what evidence was there that he was capable of mismanagement to this extent?

They have very little patience with football clubs and you can't really blame them to be fair.

Very much enjoying the positive spin on the news that HMRC have issued a winding up petition. https://www.nottscountyfc.co.uk/news/2019/february/paragon-admin-hmrc-statement-280219/

There's some suggestions that the loans to Notts may have come through a holding company rather than the business that's just gone into administration and that this may buy Notts some time (though obviously a takeover needs to go through quickly). That may explain AH's adamance that Notts are...

Did you actually spend time looking at it Adam? :eyes:

He sent an email round to Paragon's staff yesterday but nothing's been said on the Notts front.

When we went into administration in 2002 it was possible to have a certain amount of sympathy for the owners. They had some rotten luck with the collapse of ITV Digital and also a loan falling through because the bank in question was caught up in the 9/11 attacks. Money that they had reasonably...

Paragon have now been placed into administration.

Nothing anti-Notts about that sentiment. The worst that happens to Notts fans is we have to pick up the pieces and start again. Obviously something I'd rather avoid, but also not the end of the world. On the other hand I feel for the staff at Paragon and also the staff at Notts and all his other...

Awful for Paragon's staff. No rumours yet of a similar situation at Meadow Lane but where on earth is the money coming from? Hardy's personal wealth? His other businesses? Is there enough in the bank account still? Is he lucky that our home fixtures in February included two local derbies with...

Strangely isn't the most reassuring of statements is it? A lot seems to depend on the offer being made very quickly.

Please feel free to use this support group if you are unfortunate enough to care for either of these clubs or plan on attending Saturday's match!

You're more than likely correct, but Notts have been bailed out by new owners in the past (even Ray Trew, who ultimately turned out to be a bad owner, decided to invest the extra millions rather than put the club into administration after the Munto fiasco). It's probably bad news for us, but we...

The following has been sent to members of Hardy's golf club. No similar reassurance for Notts fans or (more importantly) the employees of Paragon who presumably are due to be paid on Thursday. Something definitely afoot. The only way I see this turning out to be good for the club is if the...

Apparently no statement on the future of Paragon and Notts today after all. No idea whether's that a good or bad sign. I picked a hell of a week to take off work. :bg:

I'm looking forward to Saturday's match now purely because it seems like both sets of fans will give a masterclass in gallows humour.
