Notts County boss Luke Williams has insisted there is no better setting in the division than Meadow Lane as the club are set to welcome another bumper crowd for this weekend's Community Day.
The Magpies welcome Scunthorpe United to the East Midlands this Saturday, with both fighting at opposite ends of the National League table.
Jimmy Dean's side come into the fixture on the back of an impressive 4-1 victory over Wealdstone last weekend, leaving them four points adrift of safety with eight games remaining of their season.

Meanwhile, Notts remain hopeful of claiming the one automatic spot in the division, but their title hopes hit a stumbling block at The Hive Stadium a week ago, forced to settle for a point against fellow promotion hopefuls, Barnet.
This Saturday's fixture is on track to be another sell-out after breaking the National League attendance record earlier in the season, with the club's Community Day incentive of offering discounted tickets to fans going down as a huge success, with the club confirming over 13,000 tickets had been sold.
And the Magpies head coach is looking forward to another special afternoon at Meadow Lane but insists the challenge the Iron present is one completely different from their meeting earlier on in the season.
"They have got everything to play for, as have we," Williams said.
"There is not a better setting to play football, certainly in the division, and with this crowd, it is going to be really special.
"It is difficult for me to know as it is a team we have not played because they have so many new players, so the previous time we played Scunthorpe is irrelevant to us so now we are actually playing a team for the first time at this late stage in the season which is remarkable.
"We know that it is going to be a tough challenge, but we have to be ready to face all of these challenges and strong enough to try and impose ourselves on the game."
Along with the Community Day fun, the club has also scheduled a minute's applause in the 17th minute for Iron fan, Owen Newton, who sadly passed away on Monday morning.
And the Notts boss was on hand to send his condolences to the family of the 17-year-old, insisting he knows those in attendance will make sure the applause is delivered perfectly to help celebrate the life of Owen.
"It's just awful, but the one thing I am sure of is that the reception at Meadow Lane will be brilliant.
"It will be delivered perfectly, I have no doubt - and what a great place to have the game and have so many people to show respect in that way.
"I really hope it's a good moment for the family, the situation is just awful and we look forward to showing our support."
