Club nickname - The Saddlers Club manager - Sadler Club CEO - Sadler That reminds me of wolves in the 90,s who signed a centre half called De Wolf. After seeing him play his name must have been the only reason for his

So they've got the best player in non league and now also got one of the best young cbs in non league too. Both from local (to us) clubs. They certainly know how to pick a player from obscurity & turn them into something

And/or Peterborough can outbid us or be more attractive as one of the favourites for the league and proven track record with young talent.

That’ll be Nottinghamshire County? County of Nottinghamshire County. My family is originally from Nottingham… one of my earliest memories is the family irritation at Nottingham Forest being called Notts Forest.. mainly because they were all Notts County fans, not Nottm Forest fans!

County of Nottinghamshire County. My family is originally from Nottingham… one of my earliest memories is the family irritation at Nottingham Forest being called Notts Forest.. mainly because they were all Notts County fans, not Nottm Forest fans! Shouldn’t bother me but I get irritated by teams being referred to inconsistently by an assortment of names; County are almost invariably referred to as ‘Stockport’ (a town in north west England) rather than Stockport County (the football club) whilst Aston Villa are often referred to as Villa by TV commentators and pundits- ditto Forest, Palace, and a string of others. Use of names other than the town/city of origin of the team is equally inconsistent, Luton Town were never referred to as ‘Town’ (supporters never use the term) but often as ‘the Hatters’, ditto Norwich City who were often the Canaries; other teams with common names like Blackburn Rovers however were often referred to as ‘Rovers’. Its a pity the commentators don’t do their research a bit better, as we all know, our supporters almost invariably use ‘County’ amongst themselves appending ‘Stockport’ where necessary; Notts County supporters are completely the opposite almost never referring to themselves as ‘County’ but habitually as ‘Notts’ (again using the full name only for the avoidance of doubt with outsiders). Why were we always ‘Stockport’ on the BBC Football site tables, but for the entire season it was ‘Mansfield Town’, and ‘Sutton United’ (it’s not to do with number of letters, or could have been reduced to ‘Co’ as was the Utd attached to Cambridge Utd). The Sky Football site tables for next season are better with every team having their full name, though we are currently in a relegation spot with only three ‘W’s below us. As for the farce of AFC Wimbledon appearing alphabetically behind only Accrington Stanley on the results, fixtures, and everything else…

As for the farce of AFC Wimbledon appearing alphabetically behind only Accrington Stanley on the results, fixtures, and everything else… You could write a book on this subject. A lot is to do where you live when people call their club city, town, united or rovers especially if you are not from tht area. Could never grasp City meaning coventry when i worked there it was always a manchester club. Mentioning United, i do think as soon as that name is mentioned its the Manchester one peopl think of and not their local club. Have never once heard of Pools being called united That name was reserved for a bus company that ran buses from the town. Shefield United are always the blades. As for Hatters, am i the only one who think of luton and not us first when you hear that name. Have never once called us that even when part of the old Midland Hatters. Its always been County more or less from day 1.
