As a Notts supporter great video. On Hayden Green, he purchased the leasehold at Notts County when it looked like the Council wanted to move the football ground, therefore giving us 99 years to remain at Meadow Lane. He died a few years ago so the family stand was named in his honour

Thank you - for the kind words & the insight. I’ve learned something today & a fitting memory!

The new fan zone is not where you thought it was, it's not actually in the ground itself. We've bought a warehouse next to the ground and converted it into a new fan zone / event venue with a massive screen (like a mini version of box park). It's now open for the European Championship games. Also, we've totally rebuilt the pitch, with undersoil heating, hybrid grass, new drainage and astro turf perimeter track, hence the rubble on the video. Not bad for league two.

Yeah was very impressed. Best of luck for next season!

The pitch rebuild is a much bigger operation than it looks. They have installed new drainage channels, under soil heating capability and the pitch surround, which will be topped by black astroturf, contains water supply pipes, drains and trunking for electrical cables and services.

Yeah someone else told me that too - Premier League standard supposedly - is that accurate? If so, it will add some excellent infrastructure for a promotion push.

Although Notts are the world's oldest professional football club, Meadow L:ane is not the oldest stadium, having been opened in 1910. Great vid though!

@@Laudits you mentioned the 'mess'. They're constructing a very expensive brand new hybrid pitch to PL/CL standard and installing the relevant data cabling and undersoil heating, plus the construction of the new pitch surround area.. Notts' new 'The Nest' fanzone next door is hoped to be ready for the Euros although that seems a tad ambitious at this stage!
