Notts County says an event to celebrate its return to the English Football League is now "not feasible" as the city council apologises for not hosting one immediately after their success. After attracting criticism last month for ruling out any event for the Magpies, Nottingham City Council later said it was in "positive" talks with the club about hosting something before the start of the next season.
But the club has now told the authority this will not be "feasible" as they will be focused on getting ready for their upcoming fixtures, with the city council leader now admitting that they "got it wrong." A spokesperson from Notts County FC said: "While we appreciate Nottingham City Council's cooperation in our planning of a pre-season event celebrating our return to the EFL, we have decided this will not be feasible."
The club was promoted back into the EFL following a nail-biting play-off final at Wembley which saw them battle back from a goal down to beat Chesterfield on penalties. A large banner celebrating the moment was displayed on Nottingham's Council House and a congratulations message was also featured on the Victoria Centre.
