Notts County vs. Grimsby Town will be the first game to be played in each of the top five divisions in English football, the FA Cup, the League Cup and the playoffs.

Nottingham has recently turned off the fountains in its square and the council have said they might never be turned back on, it just looks bleak.
Notts have spent probably 90% of my life lurching from one financial crisis to another and without a penny spare. The idea that we're now buying a factory next door and converting it into this is so surreal to me.
A 21-year old Notts fan renewing their season ticket has a 0% increase and *may* see their team in a higher division.
A 21-year old Forest fan renewing their season ticket has a *checks notes* 124% increase and *may* see their team in a lower division.
Should Notts County win their next game, and should Wrexham win at least one of their next two, Wrexham vs. Notts County on 10 April will be the first game ever played in the top 5 divisions between two teams with 100+ points tallies.
It will never not be funny that this man made a total of 6 appearances for us, including as a substitute in the play-off final when the match itself was virtually over, and will forever be a Notts County hero.
There's yo-yo clubs and then there's Notts County and Grimsby Town who between them boast 61 changes of division (26 promotions, 33 relegations, 1 unsuccessful re-election bid, 1 successful election bid). Rarely dull at either of these clubs.
The final average gate at Notts this year is 6,800. Only five seasons with better averages than that since the rebuilding of Meadow Lane was finished in 1994. Keep the faith, the club's in good health.
I'm hearing your club's promotion didn't end with your manager riding a scooter through town and your star striker accidentally revealing the club's summer transfers on Instagram Live. That's a real shame for you.
They're not my alma mater and have no family connections.
I simply realised that I enjoyed college football more than NFL, saw the Auburn Tigers and thought 'they look like a solid choice of team to root for, that'll be fun and normal.'
Macaulay Langstaff's two goals today were his first for Notts in a losing effort. They were his 48th and 49th goals in his 55th appearance. That's some going that.
Season rescued by a centre back scoring the first two goals of his professional career? Sent to Wembley by a guy who'd had horrific injuries for most of the previous five years? Promotion won by the guy who had penalty saved at Wrexham? None of it seems real even now. 🥹
Notts have now won promotion at Wembley from the fifth, third and second tiers. Just need a League Two playoff win under our belt now and we'll be the first club to complete the set. 👀
Average gates at Meadow Lane since rebuilding was completed in 1994.
The crowd against York would need to be below 2,250 for this season's average to fall to second.
The football has been incredible, but for the club to do this when it's at its lowest-ever level is some effort.
Every time I think I'm over play-off content I remember that Notts came back from 2–0 down thanks to a brace from a centre back who'd never scored in his professional career, including a 96th minute equaliser that had people in the arms of complete strangers.

Notts lost only 13 of 90 league matches (including playoffs) at Meadow Lane during our time in the National League, seven of which came in the behind closed doors season. I imagine you have to go back decades for a run like that.
Will never properly wrap my head around everything that happened during that week. Just the exact opposite of everything you expect to happen to Notts County. Things that only happen to other clubs, never us.
Been watching Notts for close to 30 years and had only ever really known decline, chaos and disappointment in that time. Luke Williams was the first man to make me believe it didn't always have to be that way and I'll always be grateful to him for that.
Remember when Boreham Wood used the emergency loan 'keeper rule to bring in a National League first teamer who dropped the ball into his own net in the 120th minute?

Notts County have been promoted 14 times and relegated 17 times in their history. There have been 124 seasons since Notts became founder members of the Football League, meaning the club now average a change of division exactly once every four years. Chaos club.
On Saturday, Grimsby Town and Notts County will become just the second pair of clubs (after Luton Town and Oxford United) to have played each other in each of the top five divisions of English football.
The winner of tonight's Champions League final will be just the thirteenth team to win a European trophy at Wembley, 29 years after Notts County achieved the feat.
Spoke to a Wealdstone fan at the bar after the game who said he'd never seen a crowd that so obviously wasn't watching the game during the last 10 minutes. 😂
It's always funny when a player whose game you think you're familiar with unleashes a new skill on you. I'm sure Cedwyn Scott's always taken long throws just not with us, but part of me hopes it's something he accidentally discovered he could do in training on Wednesday.
Notts are on course to finish the season with their highest average attendance since 1994 despite playing at their lowest ever level. The football helps, but the work that Jason did to get more people into Meadow Lane and keep them engaged was just phenomenal. 😔
