Last crawled date: 3 years, 1 month ago

Notts County Football Club is a professional association football club based in Nottingham, England. The team participates in the National League, the fifth tier of the English football league system. Founded in 1862, they are the oldest professional association football club in the world, and predate the Football Association itself. The club became one of the 12 founder members of the Football League in 1888. They are nicknamed the Magpies due to the black and white colour of their home strip, which inspired Italian club Juventus to adopt the colours for their kit in 1903. Meadow Lane Stadium is the home ground of Notts County, who have played there since 1910. It currently has an all-seated capacity of 18,816 for National League games, although its maximum capacity is 20,229. The record attendance is 47,310, who watched Notts lose 1–0 to York City in the FA Cup Sixth Round on 12 March 1955. Meadow Lane lies just three hundred yards (270 metres) away from the City Ground, home of Nottingham Forest. The two grounds are the closest in England and the second-closest in the United Kingdom after the grounds of Dundee and Dundee United. The Trent End of the City Ground is visible from parts of the Jimmy Sirrel stand and the Spion Kop. (Wikipedia)
