Notts

Post by ContrifibulatoryFred »

BBC have suddenly taken to calling Notts County as ‘Notts’ in the league 2 table and on fixture lists.
Does anyone know what this is about?
Has Notts dropped the ‘County’?

I tried googling it but have drawn a blank

They are still Notts County, just the BBC being lazy.

If you're looking on a phone, it's a screen width thing after the BBC slightly changed the font/format over the summer.

In portrait the top of League Two table currently says
1 Doncaster
2 Notts

But if you rotate to landscape it says
1 Doncaster Rovers
2 Notts County

Similar thing on the fixture lists.
