Excitement is building as Notts County fans prepare for a massive game at the end of a record-breaking season. Notts County will face Chesterfield at Wembley Stadium in the National League play-off final at 3.30pm on Saturday, May 13.
The Magpies booked their place at Wembley following a dramatic 3-2 turnaround over Boreham Wood last Sunday (May 7), setting up a date with the Spireites to hopefully end their four-year stay in the fifth division of English football and re-enter the EFL. The club smashed record after record during a remarkable season, shattering the 100-point barrier, but ultimately finishing second behind Wrexham.
Notts County fans, who were taking the last chance to buy from the club's shop at Meadow Lane Stadium, said they were cautiously excited about the big game. Shaun Patterson, 66, from Arnold, was donning a Notts County hat and will be travelling to Wembley. He said: "I haven't slept properly since the semi-final. There's something special about the playoffs, I cannot remember being this excited before a game ever.
