Ian Burchnall sends encouraging Notts County message ahead of crunch double-header

Ian Burchnall is confident Notts County's midweek exploits at Dover have not taken too much out of his players heading into a crucial Bank Holiday weekend.

The Magpies made the long trip down to the south coast on Tuesday night and came away 3-0 winners at The Crabble at the third time of asking, after seeing the fixture twice postponed previously. Roadworks and diversions on the way back to the East Midlands meant that the squad and many travelling Notts supporters did not get home until around 3am on Wednesday morning. However, the result made the gruelling journey slightly more bearable for those concerned.

Burchnall paid tribute to the fans, saying: "Amazing support. Incredible that so many came down, some for the third time as well. So they should wear that as a badge of honour. We just value the support so much and when you see so many coming down, it matters a lot to people. So to have that kind of dedication, it does give you a lift, without a doubt. The support has been great all year, both home and away, and we're very grateful for that."
