Shaun Derry's arrival as manager of Notts County, the club he supported as a youngster, has generated some optimism at Meadow Lane that the Magpies can escape from the League One relegation zone.
A trio of vital wins against sides in and around them in the table, Carlisle, Crewe Alexandra and Colchester United in recent games have taken County out of the bottom four and the club have aimed to capitalise on the feelgood factor with reduced ticket prices for the home fixture against Crawley Town on Easter Monday.
Under the banner of 'Bank Holiday Breakout' as the Magpies plot their 'Great Escape', prices have been cut to £12 for adults and £2 for under-16's.
Looking further ahead, County have reduced prices for next season to their lowest rate since 2010 and will not have season ticket holders but ‘The Bench’ whereby supporters will be able to play a more interactive part of their club.
Full details can be seen on the official club website but it’s an innovative piece of marketing and one that should hold on to the core support that makes a club like Notts such an integral part of the fabric of English football.
It also needs a manager who is aware of his wider duties and Derry certainly seems to be throwing himself into the project with gusto.
It’s hard to imagine his (until recently) counterpart across the river, Billy Davies, agreeing to answer questions from a fan in the pre-match press call or picking his motivational message of the match!
