But after twice seeing their side battle back from the jaws of defeat thanks to equalisers from John Bostock and Rúben Rodrigues that both required a large slice of fortune, it was all worthwhile as Luke Williams’s side returned to the Football League after four years away largely due to the heroics of the substitute goalkeeper Archie Mair.</p><p>The giant 22-year-old on loan from Norwich was brought on with seconds of extra time remaining for only his fifth appearance for the club and produced two brilliant saves in the penalty shootout to deny Darren Oldaker and Jeff King, with even a fluffed Panenka from Bostock unable to stop the party for the fans in black and white who made up the majority of the 38,000 crowd. It was a devastating way to lose for Chesterfield, who may have finished a whopping 23 points behind their opponents during the league season but were minutes away from claiming victory themselves on two occasions.</p> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/football/2023/may/13/x">Continue reading...</a></description> <category domain="https://www.theguardian.com/football/vanarama-conference">Vanarama National League</category> <category domain="https://www.theguardian.com/football/nottscounty">Notts County</category> <category domain="https://www.theguardian.com/football/chesterfield">Chesterfield</category> <category domain="https://www.theguardian.com/football/football">Football</category> <category domain="https://www.theguardian.com/sport/sport">Sport</category> <pubDate>Sat, 13 May 2023 17:34:53 GMT</pubDate> <guid>https://www.theguardian.com/football/2023/may/13/x</guid> <media:content width="140" url="https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/f92731c69369633832ab5511cac48d1e00c66098/50_224_3254_1952/master/3254.jpg?width=140&quality=85&auto=format&fit=max&s=2fbcddd81954445d5fadc9fae6e8401f"> <media:credit scheme="urn:ebu">Photograph: Zac Goodwin/PA</media:credit> </media:content> <media:content width="460" url="https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/f92731c69369633832ab5511cac48d1e00c66098/50_224_3254_1952/master/3254.jpg?width=460&quality=85&auto=format&fit=max&s=8ef1c092f2c657dddf1282c68463f9ed"> <media:credit scheme="urn:ebu">Photograph: Zac Goodwin/PA</media:credit> </media:content> <dc:creator>Ed Aarons at Wembley</dc:creator> <dc:date>2023-05-13T17:34:53Z</dc:date> </item> <item> <title>Notts County’s Jodi Jones: ‘I’ve watched my winning goal more than 50 times’</title> <link>https://www.theguardian.com/football/2023/may/12/notts-county-jodi-jones-winning-goal-playoff-final-national-league</link> <description><p>As the playoff final with Chesterfield looms, the winger discusses battling back from three ACL injuries and getting Verratti’s shirt</p><p>It is hard not to smile as Jodi Jones recounts the night before he fired Notts County to Wembley in the final seconds of extra time, a timely moment to score his first goal for the club. “I kept practising my penalty in the front room with my son’s little soft ball,” he says. “I was driving my missus crazy. She was saying: ‘Can you stop now? Because it’s actually making me nervous.’ I was saying to her: ‘And it’s Jones, he takes Notts to Wembley!’ I visualise everything. I try to picture it and take into existence. If you don’t believe, you’re not going to achieve.”</p><p>Although his decisive strike did not arrive from the penalty spot, the real-life scenario was nothing short of intoxicating drama. At half-time County, edged out of the sole automatic promotion place by Wrexham after an absorbing season-long title race, trailed 2-0 at home to Boreham Wood in their playoff semi-final. Jones entered with County trailing 2-1 and assisted a 96th-minute equaliser for Aden Baldwin to force extra time. Then, with penalties looming, Jones darted inside the box and arrowed in an extraordinary winner.</p> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/football/2023/may/12/notts-county-jodi-jones-winning-goal-playoff-final-national-league">Continue reading...</a></description> <category domain="https://www.theguardian.com/football/nottscounty">Notts County</category> <category domain="https://www.theguardian.com/football/football">Football</category> <category domain="https://www.theguardian.com/sport/sport">Sport</category> <category domain="https://www.theguardian.com/football/vanarama-conference">Vanarama National League</category> <pubDate>Fri, 12 May 2023 12:30:53 GMT</pubDate> <guid>https://www.theguardian.com/football/2023/may/12/notts-county-jodi-jones-winning-goal-playoff-final-national-league</guid> <media:content width="140" url="https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/767154969a258ae67bf9b6846634576a73d6ff97/0_232_4500_2700/master/4500.jpg?width=140&quality=85&auto=format&fit=max&s=b8e5d0fff88de860a5dc6815700df888"> <media:credit scheme="urn:ebu">Photograph: MI News/NurPhoto/Shutterstock</media:credit> </media:content> <media:content width="460" url="https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/767154969a258ae67bf9b6846634576a73d6ff97/0_232_4500_2700/master/4500.jpg?width=460&quality=85&auto=format&fit=max&s=b3e069f9988ccfdcd9b56ec4fb909eb3"> <media:credit scheme="urn:ebu">Photograph: MI News/NurPhoto/Shutterstock</media:credit> </media:content> <dc:creator>Ben Fisher</dc:creator> <dc:date>2023-05-12T12:30:53Z</dc:date> </item> <item> <title>Top-four tension, Cambridge joy and Notts County drama – Football Weekly</title> <link>https://www.theguardian.com/football/audio/2023/may/08/arsenal-newcastle-manchester-united-west-ham-efl-national-league-football-weekly-podcast</link> <description><p><a href="https://twitter.com/maxrushden">Max Rushden</a> is joined by <a href="https://twitter.com/bglendenning">Barry Glendenning</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/jonawils">Jonathan Wilson</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/Towno10">Troy Townsend</a> to discuss a busy weekend in the top flight and beyond</p><p><strong>Rate, review, share on <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/podcast/football-weekly-the-guardian/id188674007?mt=2">Apple Podcasts</a>, <a href="https://soundcloud.com/guardianfootballweekly">Soundcloud</a>, <a href="https://audioboom.com/channel/football-weekly">Audioboom</a>, <a href="https://www.mixcloud.com/guardianfootballweekly/">Mixcloud</a>, <a href="https://www.acast.com/footballweekly">Acast</a> and <a href="http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/guardianuk/football-weekly">Stitcher</a>, and join the conversation on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/GuardianPodcasts/">Facebook</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/guardianaudio">Twitter</a> and <a href="mailto:footballweekly@theguardian.com">email</a>.</strong></p><p>Today: Arsenal regroup to beat Newcastle 2-0 at St James’ Park and keep the title race alive, with City still only one point ahead.

On an unforgettable afternoon against Notts County, their closest rivals for automatic promotion from the National League and another historic club rebuilding for better days, Wrexham reclaimed top spot with a script Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney may have considered too outlandish.</p><p>Less than a month after coming out of retirement, the 40‑year‑old goalkeeper Ben Foster saved a 96th‑minute penalty to deliver a victory that leaves Phil Parkinson’s team three points clear with four games to play.

When Colin wrote a memoir of his time at Meadow Lane in 2011, he gave it the title Tied Up With Notts. He was proud of his close and warm association with what was, until recently, the world’s oldest professional league club, founded in 1862, but he never forfeited his journalistic objectivity and was as critical as any disaffected fan on the occasions when the team fell into the hands of unscrupulous or negligent owners.<br><br>When, during one of the odder periods in the club’s history, Sven-Göran Eriksson, the former England manager, was appointed director of football at a club then in the fourth tier, lured by what soon turned out to be nonexistent financial backing from North Korea, Colin was given the first one-to-one interview. He was pleasantly surprised when the Swede opened their conversation by asking a question of his own: “I hear you’ve been here a long time and attend every game, so I want to know something about you. Tell me about yourself.” No one, Colin reflected, had ever asked him to explain his background. An outsider might add that this was their mistake.<br><br>Colin was born in Shipley, and went to Belle Vue grammar school in nearby Bradford. After training on local weekly newspapers, covering Bradford City, he moved to Nottingham, where he joined the Evening News, becoming their Notts County correspondent in 1959. As early as 1965 he was helping to save the club from extinction by persuading a local car dealer to write a cheque for £10,000.<br><br>In 1968 he accepted an offer to become the first press officer – later chief information officer – of Nottinghamshire county council, while taking on commentary duties on Notts for the newly created BBC Radio Nottingham. In the summer he would commentate on the cricket at Trent Bridge, sometimes acting as the PA announcer, and running Nottinghamshire CCC’s marketing department from 1988-96.<br><br>He never lost the trace of West Yorkshire, either in his gentle conversational voice or the more urgent tone that came through the radio on the occasions when the Magpies did something worth getting excited about. The club named a suite after him, making him a lifetime honorary president; he chaired their former players’ association and was a trustee of the Notts County Foundation. John Motson called him “a doyen of the broadcasting industry”.<br><br>A tall man of great humour and unfailing courtesy, he chaired the local bench of magistrates, helped found the east Midlands branch of the Lord’s Taverners charity, and was a trustee of Nottingham’s day centre for homeless people. Active in the Christians in Sport organisation, in 1995 he was elected to represent the diocese of Southwell and Nottingham as a lay member of the General Synod. In 2001 he was appointed MBE for services to radio broadcasting and the community in Nottingham.<br></p> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/football/2022/jan/13/colin-slater-obituary">Continue reading...</a></description> <category domain="https://www.theguardian.com/football/nottscounty">Notts County</category> <category domain="https://www.theguardian.com/sport/nottinghamshire">Nottinghamshire</category> <category domain="https://www.theguardian.com/sport/cricket">Cricket</category> <category domain="https://www.theguardian.com/football/football">Football</category> <pubDate>Thu, 13 Jan 2022 18:31:50 GMT</pubDate> <guid>https://www.theguardian.com/football/2022/jan/13/colin-slater-obituary</guid> <media:content width="140" url="https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/b5f03babdc3a26eebd6454d669499a33c60c0220/40_0_1200_720/master/1200.jpg?width=140&quality=85&auto=format&fit=max&s=16a3dbfe214eb6b420c97bdd16a058dc"> <media:credit scheme="urn:ebu">Photograph: Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club</media:credit> </media:content> <media:content width="460" url="https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/b5f03babdc3a26eebd6454d669499a33c60c0220/40_0_1200_720/master/1200.jpg?width=460&quality=85&auto=format&fit=max&s=a22f49a535b82b1743c30579e46726c2"> <media:credit scheme="urn:ebu">Photograph: Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club</media:credit> </media:content> <dc:creator>Richard Williams</dc:creator> <dc:date>2022-01-13T18:31:50Z</dc:date> </item> <item> <title>History is against Brentford as they return to top flight after 74-year wait</title> <link>https://www.theguardian.com/football/2021/aug/12/brentford-history-74-year-wait-top-flight</link> <description><p>Brentford are back in the top tier for the first time since 1947.

It is neatly symmetrical that their last match at this level, on 26 May 1947, just happened to be at home to Arsenal. The day before, England played Portugal in a friendly in Lisbon, running out <a href="https://www.englandstats.com/matches.php?mid=234">convincing winners by 10-0</a> with four goals each from Tommy Lawton and Stan Mortensen, and one apiece for Tom Finney and Stanley Matthews.</p><p>Brentford had already been relegated before they met Arsenal in 1947, <a href="https://www.11v11.com/matches/brentford-v-arsenal-26-may-1947-70068/">when they lost 1-0 to a Paddy Sloan goal</a>, his only one for the Gunners, in front of 17,976 spectators at Griffin Park.

He was in the role at the time of the 1985 Heysel stadium disaster: before the European Cup final between Liverpool and Juventus in Brussels, 39 mostly Italian fans died after Liverpool fans attacked supporters of Juventus, leading to a fatal crush. The disaster resulted in a ban on English clubs competing in Europe.</p> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/football/2019/nov/14/jack-dunnett-obituary">Continue reading...</a></description> <category domain="https://www.theguardian.com/football/nottscounty">Notts County</category> <category domain="https://www.theguardian.com/uk/nottingham">Nottingham</category> <category domain="https://www.theguardian.com/football/football-league">Football League</category> <category domain="https://www.theguardian.com/sport/sport">Sport</category> <category domain="https://www.theguardian.com/football/footballpolitics">Football politics</category> <category domain="https://www.theguardian.com/football/football">Football</category> <category domain="https://www.theguardian.com/uk/uk">UK news</category> <pubDate>Thu, 14 Nov 2019 17:51:57 GMT</pubDate> <guid>https://www.theguardian.com/football/2019/nov/14/jack-dunnett-obituary</guid> <media:content width="140" url="https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/34785ef5d83d3021162e6c9c1fb61b5e3d79f4f9/108_455_4987_2992/master/4987.jpg?width=140&quality=85&auto=format&fit=max&s=aa34b3b1a27bc26ef620708b63480e78"> <media:credit scheme="urn:ebu">Photograph: Walter Brown/ANL/Rex/Shutterstock</media:credit> </media:content> <media:content width="460" url="https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/34785ef5d83d3021162e6c9c1fb61b5e3d79f4f9/108_455_4987_2992/master/4987.jpg?width=460&quality=85&auto=format&fit=max&s=da2c9995fd7a29227d91299956d51e59"> <media:credit scheme="urn:ebu">Photograph: Walter Brown/ANL/Rex/Shutterstock</media:credit> </media:content> <dc:creator>Gavin Hadland</dc:creator> <dc:date>2019-11-14T17:51:57Z</dc:date> </item> <item> <title>Notts County prove a trip to Eastleigh is not the end of the world | Richard Williams</title> <link>https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2019/aug/05/notts-county-vanarama-league</link> <description>After 157 years the Football League’s oldest club are coming to terms with life in the National League<p>Those 157 years of history were not out there on the pitch. They were in the away sections of Eastleigh’s Silverlake Stadium, where 796 fans of Notts County gathered on Saturday to resume the ordeal of supporting what was, until May, the oldest professional football club in the world with a continuous league history. Only in England, surely, could a fifth-tier match attract a crowd of 2,668, of whom almost a third had travelled half the length of the country to watch their team, so recently humiliated, attempt to take the first steps towards rehabilitation.</p><p>There was to be no immediate reward for their faith. Fans of all ages, shapes and sizes went home having seen their players beaten 1-0, with two men sent off in the latter stages. Their team had created no meaningful chances and showed none of the residual characteristics of fallen aristocrats.</p> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2019/aug/05/notts-county-vanarama-league">Continue reading...</a></description> <category domain="https://www.theguardian.com/football/nottscounty">Notts County</category> <category domain="https://www.theguardian.com/football/football">Football</category> <category domain="https://www.theguardian.com/sport/sport">Sport</category> <pubDate>Mon, 05 Aug 2019 14:22:28 GMT</pubDate> <guid>https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2019/aug/05/notts-county-vanarama-league</guid> <media:content width="140" url="https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/b1b8963c7c5d4075666ed92bcdbd6b86671fee6e/288_506_4245_2547/master/4245.jpg?width=140&quality=85&auto=format&fit=max&s=feb3d7b26a08126088fcc8abca5dcd86"> <media:credit scheme="urn:ebu">Photograph: Steve Bardens/Getty Images</media:credit> </media:content> <media:content width="460" url="https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/b1b8963c7c5d4075666ed92bcdbd6b86671fee6e/288_506_4245_2547/master/4245.jpg?width=460&quality=85&auto=format&fit=max&s=173e2411e360e500177a582ea8f3388b"> <media:credit scheme="urn:ebu">Photograph: Steve Bardens/Getty Images</media:credit> </media:content> <dc:creator>Richard Williams</dc:creator> <dc:date>2019-08-05T14:22:28Z</dc:date> </item> <item> <title>Reedtz brothers complete takeover of Notts County as Alan Hardy departs</title> <link>https://www.theguardian.com/football/2019/jul/26/alexander-christoffer-reedtz-notts-county-league-two</link> <description>• Danish consortium aiming for quick promotion to League Two<br />• Brothers own football analysis company Football Radar<p>Alexander and Christoffer Reedtz are targeting a swift return to the Football League after their Danish consortium completed its takeover of Notts County.</p><p>The Magpies were relegated from League Two for the first time in their history last season and were scheduled to be back in the high court in London on 31 July to face a winding-up order.</p> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/football/2019/jul/26/alexander-christoffer-reedtz-notts-county-league-two">Continue reading...</a></description> <category domain="https://www.theguardian.com/football/nottscounty">Notts County</category> <category domain="https://www.theguardian.com/football/football">Football</category> <category domain="https://www.theguardian.com/sport/sport">Sport</category> <pubDate>Fri, 26 Jul 2019 20:06:39 GMT</pubDate> <guid>https://www.theguardian.com/football/2019/jul/26/alexander-christoffer-reedtz-notts-county-league-two</guid> <media:content width="140" url="https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/80ff7fc367a705a9360217bd7fa6aed1582f83df/0_118_3500_2100/master/3500.jpg?width=140&quality=85&auto=format&fit=max&s=51a92dac57d95a96865efa27c0db3f99"> <media:credit scheme="urn:ebu">Photograph: Lewis Stickley/PA</media:credit> </media:content> <media:content width="460" url="https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/80ff7fc367a705a9360217bd7fa6aed1582f83df/0_118_3500_2100/master/3500.jpg?width=460&quality=85&auto=format&fit=max&s=aa4c4133df8e745d33c8bac98ddf3583"> <media:credit scheme="urn:ebu">Photograph: Lewis Stickley/PA</media:credit> </media:content> <dc:creator>PA Media</dc:creator> <dc:date>2019-07-26T20:06:39Z</dc:date> </item> <item> <title>League Two roundup: Notts County relegated while MK Dons go up</title> <link>https://www.theguardian.com/football/2019/may/04/league-two-roundup-notts-county-mk-dons-macclesfield</link> <description>• Sol Campbell’s Macclesfield survive after Cambridge draw<br />• Newport strike late to secure final play-off spot<p>Notts County’s 131-year stay in the Football League is over after they were beaten 3-1 at Swindon.
