Nearly 6000 season tickets sold as Notts County season tickets remain available

Next season will see the Magpies play EFL football for the first time since their relegation to non-league during the 2018-19 campaign, the mood around Meadow Lane far more positive than when the club fell to the National League all those years ago.

Luke Williams is the man responsible for lifting spirits at the Magpies after years where the very existence of the club felt precarious, the future bright now if you have allegiances to the black and white half of Nottingham.

County fans must feel optimistic about their team’s chances competing in League Two with season ticket figures standing at 5,600 at the time of writing. As stated on County’s website, this far eclipses the season ticket standing at this point last year with around 3,500 sold then.

Why is there a renewed optimism around the building? The signings in through the door at Notts to date could go some way as to answering this question. Although Ruben Rodrigues has departed for League One Oxford United, Notts County have still recruited well when it comes to incomings.

David McGoldrick has returned to his boyhood club late into his playing career, a statement signing considering McGoldrick was scoring goals last season with Derby County in League One. This would have been a popular signing with the fanbase, especially sectors of the fanbase that can recollect the striker’s burst onto the scene in 2004.

Further, exciting signings such as Dan Crowley should get spectators off their feet at Meadow Lane in League Two - Crowley formerly of Arsenal fame, a tricky midfielder on his day. The major bit of transfers in and out of County that will please fans is the fact MacAulay Langstaff hasn’t exited Meadow Lane like Ruben Rodrigues, the potent goalscorer looks to be sticking out as a Magpie despite previous transfer speculation.

Buying your season ticket for next season will also have been a popular move when you look at the forthcoming League Two table, the division next season is swamped with huge clubs all competing to move up the EFL ladder. Therefore, plenty of County fans have put their money where their mouth is and secured a season ticket to follow this exciting rollercoaster ride.

Lastly, the stability of the club is no longer in doubt. The circus that once became synonymous with the Magpies is long gone with a manager who feels set in stone within the fabric of the football club and owners now who care about the longevity of the club over rash decision-making.

With Meadow Lane’s full capacity coming in at around 20,000 in total, the Magpies will be expecting even more spectators to purchase a season ticket between now and the starting game away at Sutton United in League Two.

Notts County’s fanbase will always play a pivotal role, the fans dragging the team over the line at points in the National League to crucial victories. They’ll become even more key when making the step-up, and with the recent number of season ticket sales filtering through, there will be even more spectators packing out Meadow Lane to cheer Luke Williams’ side on in League Two.
