Rovers have actually only won 2 league games in the last 30 years against Notts County. The last game we played against county was one of those wins; Andy Williams scoring the only goal in the fixture in December.

Given that we've only played them 11 times in the league since 1986 that's not actually as bad as it sounds. Still a pretty poor record but it's hard to beat a team when you're not playing them.

I agree, just thought it was quite interesting. We'll make it 3 times in 30 years tonight! :scarf:
If you include cup games as well though, 3/9 over the last 10 years is also pretty poor.

Never realised before today that we didn't play them at all between 1998 and 2008, and only played County 3 times between 1989 and 2008.
Going back further, we only played them once, which was a cup game, in the 70s :blink:

Good afternoon everyone. Tough game ahead, though one we should win, could get physical. Hopefully, after this evening we won't be playing Notts C for a few years to come.

Us oldies must recall the 1965/6 season when we played Notts County at home. We finished Champions of Div. 4 that season but suffered a 3-0 loss at home to County just three games before the end of the season. Let's hope history doesn't repeat itself as far as tonight's result is concerned.
Am I right in thinking that was the game that Tony Coleman got sent off and thumped the ref ?.

The ref had a decent game.
He appeared to be very calm throughout.
Not so sure that Orient will be there for the taking.
Having lost eight goals in two games they are very likely to set up against us to avoid getting hammered.

I can see us doubling that number in one game if the majority of our chances hit the back of their net. It's going to be 90 minutes of one way traffic.

Leyton O's match report of the Accry game, suggests they were lucky only to lose 5-0, there were a few desperate goal line clearances. Sadly LO are mainly playing a youth team, so on Saturday it will be men against boys. A terrible mess of a club, you can only wish the very best to the LO supporters, a couple of decades ago we were in a similar situation.
