Chapter 419 The swan song of Meadow Lane
Chapter 419 The swan song of Meiduo Lane

The qualifiers for the Magpie Cup Charity Four-Corner Tournament were boring as expected, but the fans in England were still enthusiastic and bought it very much.

The Notts County fans worked the hardest. They cheered and cheered for the participating teams in the Pavis stands. The energy that was not exhausted in the opening ceremony earlier suddenly became useful again.

In the new season, Notts County's home stadium will be relocated to the Magpie Stadium, which can accommodate [-] fans. The Meadow Lane Stadium will become the venue for the Notts County Reserve Team and the various echelons of the Shuguang Youth Academy.

In addition, the club will build a Meadow Lane historical corridor inside the original Meadow Lane Stadium, so that fans and players can remember the history of Meadow Lane Stadium.

In other words, this year’s Magpie Cup Charity Four Corners will be the curtain call of the Meadow Lane Stadium. After ending its history as the home of the Notts County Club, the Meadow Lane Stadium, which has turned a new chapter, is still Notts An integral part of county life.

In the early days of the Notts County Club, the Magpies used the Meadow Lane Cricket Ground and the Trent Bridge Cricket Ground as their home ground on loan.

These days of displacement continued until [-], when the trustees of Trent Bridge Cricket Ground refused to renew the lease of Notts County Club, and Notts County Club was forced to find another way.

Facing the difficulties, the management of the Notts County Club was not intimidated. They quickly rented a field in Meadow Lane from the Nottingham City Council, which is the predecessor of the Meadow Lane Stadium.

In order to meet the needs of the professional league, the club carried out a large-scale renovation of the Meadow Lane Stadium. Near the start of the new season, a main stand of the stadium and the canopy on the County Road side were completed.

The whole set of design was completed by the architect Mr. Sheppard. In addition, an outdoor terrace was built on the other side of the club overseas.

Since the rules and regulations of the football league at this time were not particularly perfect, and the styles of the stadiums were also varied, when the Meadow Lane Stadium was born, it was a bit more natural:
The Tinkering River flows behind the stands. Every match day, there will be a staff member of the club standing by the river with a fishing net to salvage out-of-bounds balls when necessary.

According to the relevant information of the Notts County Club History Exhibition Hall, during World War II, Meadow Lane Stadium was bombed by the German army. Increased height.

At the end of the [-]-[-] season, the Notts County club, which had just lost in the play-offs, removed the main stand of the Meadow Lane Stadium.

Drastic reforms made the Meadow Lane Stadium an all-seat stadium, with a fan capacity of [-]. Eventually, the stand was named after Chairman Derek Pavis.

The Parvis Stand itself covers the Notts County Club's offices, dressing rooms, gymnasium and banquet centre, and was once an important source of Notts County Club's financial income.

Ever since Wei Xun entered the club, Wei Xun didn't care about such a small amount of money. Before that, there was a lot of construction work in the base, and the office space and all supporting facilities had already been changed.

There is no need to nest in the Meadow Lane Stadium to work.

For things like stadiums, if you have money, you can build a high-end and luxurious version, and if you don’t have money, you can build a more economical and practical one, and there is no shame in it.

What kind of business situation the club is in, how many fans the team has, and the approximate capacity of the stands of the stadium, these things have a very clear account in the minds of the club management.

It is said that watching chess without talking is a real gentleman, and it is not a good thing for laymen to lead experts to talk on paper.

……

The goal of Sutton United, which has received great help from Notts County, is to hit the British Championship in the new season. They have spent two years in the original League Two. Both players and coaches are eager for a higher stage.

Northampton, which had always been at the same league level as Notts County, gradually began to become mediocre after reaching the League One, which is now the British Championship.

Everyone has a dream of playing in the Premier League, but after failing again and again, the chairman of Northampton has slowly lost his previous ambitions.

Sometimes he also thinks, it’s fine to hang around in the English Championship, what’s so bad about being a salty fish?
Magpie Catering can indeed earn a lot of money, and it can indeed get more profits after playing in the Premier League, but before that, the team must invest more funds before it is possible to achieve the goal of surpassing.

If they fail to reach the Super League in the end, even if they fall in the play-offs, all the previous efforts will be in vain.

He hesitated, and finally let it go.

Many media criticized the Northampton club's management structure is still not high enough, they count small accounts.

There were also excited fans who scolded the team for not wanting to make progress, and would only squat in the second-tier league. They tried their best to avoid relegation in the first half of the season, and rested steadily in the second half of the season.

But Northampton boss Elvin Johnny knew very well that it wasn't that he really wanted to mess around, but that he was comparing people to others, which made people mad.

If Notts County, under the leadership of Wei Xun, is just an ordinary Premier League relegation team, then Elvin Johnny doesn't mind being ruthless, rushing desperately, and competing for the top with his good friends Down.

But the reality is that Notts County is in the ranks of strong teams competing for Champions League qualification in the Premier League, and it is also the new UEFA Cup champion.

What is Northampton?

A Championship relegation team.

The gap between the two is really too big, it's like a world of difference.

In this case, people's psychology is very easy to change.The worst outcome of these, and usually the most common, is broken jars.

Elvin Jonny didn't want this, but he really had no reason to convince himself that maybe sometime when he sat with Wei Xun and drank some wine, and was scolded by someone Wei, he might be able to rekindle the extinguished heart. fire of progress.

Sutton United, joined by a number of Notts County youth players, overwhelmed Northampton in the first round of qualifying. Notts County veteran Steve Connell announced his signature goal with his iconic header. return.

After all, it is Notts County's own child, the fans are not stingy with their applause, and Cornell also rewarded the lovely fans with a brace.

The newly promoted Getafe failed to reverse Racing Santander. Two goals from Diego Milito and Thiago Silva helped Racing Santander get a chance to compete with the League One team Sutton United.

The result was without any suspense. Racing Santander, which had the upper hand in terms of strength, defeated Sutton United without bloodshed and advanced to the final four-corner match.
