Notts Kiwi Delighted With New Shirt

Posted on: Wed 28 Jul 2010

New Zealand Notts fan Andrew Bond now sports a brand new Notts shirt, all thanks to the online shop.

He ordered his purchase and within a week he was proudly showing the famous stripes around the streets of Auckland.

The 21-year-old was that impressed he thanked Retail Manager Lynn Lawson and her team on the Official Facebook Page.

The message read: "I just wanted to say a big thanks for the excellent service by the club shop. I ordered my new home shirt a week ago today and it had my name, number and badges printed on it, and I have received it already...not bad service from Meadow Lane to NZ!"

Andrew moved to New Zealand in 2003 after his father found a new job.

He now keeps up to date on his favorite club via nottscountyfc.co.uk and the Official Facebook Page, and he hopes to be subscribing to Magpie Player very soon.

The avid Notts fan now works in the Customs Office at Auckland International Airport, but hopes to return for the opening fixture in the 2011/12 season.

Andrew is very confident of the Notts building on last season's promotion.

He said: "I can see us being a comfortable mid-table side, tough to beat at fortress Meadow Lane with the amazing Notts fans behind us.

"I think it will be a tough ask to push for the play offs at the first attempt, but I see this being a good building season, where the players can adapt to a new division, bond as a squad and hopefully push on and gain promotion to the Championship in two or three years time."

The far-away fan also pointed out Jon Harley as the key new signing.

He said: "Harley has lots of experience and I feel will fit in well. I think it's important to have specialized full-backs, it is a position you need to know well, he has played at some big clubs in his career and can hopefully be a leader on the pitch as well. "

The Bottesford local stated that his favourite current player is Ben Davies and his all-time best is Mark Stallard.

His favorite memory at Meadow Lane was a difficult choice - but one sticks out more than the rest.

He said: "The final day of the 1997/98 season, I was at Meadow Lane when we beat Rotherham United 5-2. The crowd was amazing that day we had already won the league title and the players lifted the trophy in style, beating a fairly decent Rotherham team comfortably."

Andrew was also a ball-boy in his early Notts days and his last match was when Notts thumped Northampton Town last season.

He recalls: "I was sat in the Kop with my cousin, obviously you know what happened next! Lee Hughes tore them apart! I'm very proud to support Notts and will continue to do so, no matter where I end up!"
