Tears of joy at Notts County stadium as 'elated' Magpies welcome victorious team

There were tears of joy as Magpies fans gathered at the Meadow Lane stadium to welcome Notts County's promotion winners back from the capital on Sunday, May 14. It comes after a spectacular win for the club which has retained its status as the 'world's oldest professional football club', following promotion back to the EFL.
