Nottingham City Council says it 'got it wrong by not staging an event immediately'
Notts County says an event to celebrate its return to the English Football League is now "not feasible" as the city council apologises for not hosting one immediately after their success. After attracting criticism last month for ruling out any event for the Magpies, Nottingham City Council later said it was in "positive" talks with the club about hosting something before the start of the next season.
The club was promoted back into the EFL following a nail-biting play-off final at Wembley which saw them battle back from a goal down to beat Chesterfield on penalties. A large banner celebrating the moment was displayed on Nottingham's Council House and a congratulations message was also featured on the Victoria Centre.
"We accept we got it wrong by not staging an event for Notts County immediately after they secured their promotion, and we apologise again to them and their fans for that. It in no way diminishes how proud we are of them in securing a return back to where they belong."
