Memorabilia
 

Notts fan here. Its turning into an 'interesting' week to be a Notts fan :eek:

Posted this in the nostalgia forum, but thought it might be seen by more of you here. A Notts fan has bought a Notts notebook dating back to 1889, and there are mentions of Accrington in it. He has scanned some of the pages (the mention is towards the end of the thread) and if you fancy a read, its here:

PROBABLY THE OLDEST ITEM OF NOTTS COUNTY MEMORABILIA AROUND. - Notts. County FC forum from footymad.net

That's fascinating stuff, wish I could help with the Pitmans translation - obviously I focused on the Accy reference in the last scan and I thought it started "Accrington referee" - which would fit in with the concerns about which refs (or umpires) were OK/unbiased from some of the earlier stuff. Thought that section probably finished "others are Lancashire men", can't make anything of the squiggle before "men" ("semen" :eek: would be very rude for the 1890s)

Proves little has changed, as either your webste or ours (or more probably both) will be whinging about the ref or liners come this Saturday evening ... :D
