Someone needs to make a documentary about Notts County.

I've seen a good one about Notts County before when they were hustled by the fraudster claiming to be a Sheik in Dubai or whatever and managed to hire Sven Goran Erikkson

Notts County and the conman: Following your team through a football scam

In the summer of 2009 mysterious new owners promised to propel fourth-tier side Notts County to grand success. It was all a big lie.

The autism ep was fantastic.

The third one was a bit ehh. Did a good job of setting Notts County up for later in the season though.

Just watched ep 2, how beautiful were they all with Millie. Fantastic ep

 

[Jatz]

Anyone been watching the new season?

Watched the first ep last night. Brutal injury to Mullins. They're turning these around pretty quickly!

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

I've watched the first two eps of the new season so far. Still enjoying it a lot.

 

[BACCS]

I would love to get to a game at the Racecourse someday!

Reynolds is bringing them here to play a game in Vancouver. $150 a ticket though.

That’s taking the piss.

Depends who they're playing? If it's a big Premier League club again I can see them being popular.

Vancouver Whitecaps

Yeah that's ridiculous then.

I think this sort of represents everything that's wrong with modern football, it's become a plaything for the ultra affluent. If Wrexham make it all the way to the Premiership it's not going to be the local Welsh fans who've supported them through thick and thin that are going to be able to afford seats to watch Man City when they come to town.

 

[kane249]

As rich as those two are, they are going to need a lot more financial backers to get them to the premier league imo

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

Yeah they showed a thingy on the last ep about how small fry Reynold's and particularly Mclhenny's fortunes are in comparison to Premier League club owners.

Have you actually watched the show or researched anything on the way they're running the club? That's literally forefront of their minds with freezing season ticket prices and erecting a temporary stand at a loss to the owners in order to allow more locals in to watch the game as they're incredibly conscious of the fact the ground is regularly selling out.

It's not just a plaything for them, they're doing a huge amount to improve the local community and economy.

The song Ryan did for Rob was pretty funny.

I just finished the first season of this. What a brilliant season of television. I went through assuming I knew the result of the season based on news I'd heard over the 2 years since it came out. Made the finale quite a surprise for me.

I've never had any desire at all to attend a soccer match, but watching this made me a little jealous of fans in places like Britain. The promotion/demotion aspect combined with the huge value of goals and the resulting emotion every score looked pretty amazing.

 

[Jatz]

The episode with the old chap turning 100 got me right in the feels. That and the Mum and bub.

Got to say, he's the most agile 100 year old I've ever seen. Looked absolutely fantastic!

Football in Europe is a different beast to an AFL Grand Final.

I cry every time I watch it, the absolute carry on by me.

Yes the fans develop elaborate songs because 90 per cent of the game is an utter bore fest with defenders chipping the ball around to each other in the back half.

The 5 minute highlights look great. But watching the whole thing ugggh.

We were worried she and the bub didn't make it, that's a very early birth, so great to see them thriving.

Yeah as soon as he'd said they delivered at 25 weeks, I was expecting the worst.

What a horrible situation for him. Especially mid game as well.

Obviously disagree. There’s lulls in all sports.

One of the games I saw in Berlin was 3-3 and off to penalties. The atmosphere was insane with flares going off and non stop cheering and chanting.

I’ve been to three Grand Finals and whilst I loved them, they didn’t hold a candle atmosphere wise to that cup game in Berlin.

You are also allowed to enjoy multiple sports and don’t have to shit on one to make the other better. They all have their positives and negatives.
