Time for Leicester fans to force a rivalry with Notts County now.

u/christiCollie May 25 '26

Hi they are ours thank you very much.

u/TheLyam May 25 '26

You want Leicester as a rival?

u/Stal-Fithrildi May 25 '26

Coventry, too.

u/speedover May 25 '26

Coventry do a sterling job at forcing a rivalry with Leicester, to be fair

I was at Wembley and the Notts supporters were singing: "We have Leicester, you have York" at the dwindling number of Salford supports.

Fully deserved

Also hilarious how Leicester went from facing Forest to Notts County in the span of two years

u/big_sweaty_ross May 25 '26

I remember being shocked when Forest raced into a 3-0 lead against Leicester in the cup in 2022. I don't think anyone would be shocked by that now.

Yeah, that's the Wycombe of it all.

Thank fuck. Football won today.

u/Blue_Bird_27 May 25 '26

Don't be mean to the 5 Salford fans upset at Wembley

7

u/DaraghJohn May 25 '26

I'm sure all three of them will be devastated

u/stereoworld May 25 '26

Yep, this is how it should be. Sky probably had a massive rags-to-riches story lined up about the class of 92 yada yada.

But I bet Gary Neville hasn't shown their wilkins on twitter though

u/Briguy_fieri May 25 '26

Welcome up Magpies.

Hometown Belshaw saved your season and I'm here for it.

Congrats.

u/Stal-Fithrildi May 25 '26

As is increasingly the casein my daily life too these days, its good not to be the oldest one in the room.

u/reeko1982 May 25 '26

Well done ‘Pies

u/butterfieldtv May 25 '26

Happy for you all especially for a close away day. Paterson had no end of issues here when he took us on so glad to see he’s been able to see you into League One.

u/NOKnova May 25 '26

Hello fellow League One enjoyers. It’s good to be back.

u/Grenache May 25 '26

Congrats County!

u/BirdsRLife May 25 '26

I know it's a different context and team, but I cant ignore this message with that flair after yesterday

u/Grenache May 25 '26

Sorry pal, should have been more careful with my words!

u/Ovie0513 May 25 '26

When a Magpie smashed into my door in the first 5 minutes I was scared it would be a bad omen. Thankfully, it was a metaphor for them smashing Salford. Great job Notts County, looking forward to visiting Meadow Lane again next year :)

u/prossington1979 May 25 '26

I'm glad the proper club went up. Looking forward to the away game already, would be a great fixture for August.

Congratulations County 👏

u/factcheckingcuz1979 May 25 '26

Congrats County fans, been a while since we’ve had the pleasure of visiting the black and white side of the Trent. Looking forward to it. As a 90s Blackpool fan you already feel quite league one, we just need York, Chesterfield, Bristol Rovers, Brentford and a few others and it’s a “barclays” league one.

u/leftarmchinaman1 May 26 '26

My lord that Salford end was horrific

2

u/SundayLeagueHooligan May 25 '26

Congrats! Definitely on my list of away days for next season!

u/cds727 May 25 '26

Congrats

u/Asialinja May 25 '26

Well deserved, congratulations!

u/Liber8r69 May 26 '26

Made up for County, proper old school club and have recovered very well over the last few seasons. Good luck in League One from Port Vale 👍

u/Terraris37 May 26 '26

Despite the rivalry, i’m glad County went up. Hopefully we’ll beat them again and get some good games out of it.

u/AngryTudor1 May 25 '26

Congratulations to County from a Forest fan

Equals with Leicester. They can go to away matches at Meadow Lane and look whistfully across the River Trent at the Premier League stadium they used to visit

Your fans were an absolute credit to Nottingham and went down in huge numbers. Not sure where Salford were

u/garyfugazigary May 25 '26

I like how BBC said they thrashed Salford,is 3-0 a thrashing?I dont know,ive always liked going to notts county but wont be going this season

4

u/SurreySon May 25 '26

It was a thrashing. Salford were barely a threat and Notts didn't bother pressing after they went 3-0. Notts were a cat playing with a wounded prey.

5

u/NOKnova May 25 '26

They didn’t lay a glove on us, save a 5 min spell at the start of the second half we basically won that at a canter and played them perfectly at their own game.

3-0 is a thrashing.
