Some interesting facts on display there.
I note Crewe brought almost double the away fans that Stoke City did to Maine road....
Also we went to forest,in the lower division,..and their home crowd was 23k
When we played them at Maine Rd,we had 31k
You can't get a ticket in notts now as an older supporter.....

That last day of the season fixture ....ominous....Stoke away.....the only time I've been bricked at an away ground.it was carnage.what a day !!

Edit- 1st time I got bricked was on the way to Everton on a supporters coach- not sure if that counts,as it wasn't at the ground....more..just off the East lancs rd ,coming into the town
87/88 season.

League cup quarter final. Our coach bricked too!

That's the one. Lost 2nil to Everton. Paul Lake played up front,as Varadi iirc wasn't fully fit.
With Lake in midfield,and Stewart and Varadi up front, we might have put up more of a fight..maybe...

Loved that season. Two great cup runs. In league cup the away win at Wolves was our first away win in over a calendar year. Think we beat both Watford and Forest too - both div 1 at the time.

It was a brilliant season, absolutely loved following City everywhere........but not that Wolves away match.trust me to miss that one!
Watford and Forest were 2 of Paul Lakes greatest games.when we beat forest at Maine rd I was so proud ,buzzing for days,got a lift of next door neighbor Andy Sugars and his brother,both reds from Radford notts,....Mel Machines 2nd div team of young blues ,smashed First Division forest under Clough,I sat in the away end that night Platt Lane,....Paul Lake took Forest apart.
One of my best memories of Maine road.

Fucking hell what a season. We were absolute shite. Mullered away at County. Losing at home to Bury. Knew it was truly grim at Port Vale.
Battered at Reading.
Sitting in away end at Charlton watching Van Blerk whistle their winner into his own net
Did every game that season. Fucking loved it
