The council says it is in talks with the club after initially ruling out an event because of cost

However it has now said a celebration could take place later in the summer.

The council said it was involved in "positive and constructive" discussions with the world's oldest football club about an event, though no further details have been confirmed. Many Pies fans said the club's achievement merited an event similar to that staged for Nottingham Forest when they were promoted to the Premier League in May 2022.Council leader David Mellen said: "We're delighted with Notts County's promotion back into the English Football League and understand fans' disappointment that we weren't able to put on a civic event this week.

"A pre-season event gives us more time to look again at funding options, including contributions from partners who are keen to support a city celebration of Notts' fantastic achievement.He added: "We'd like to thank the club for being receptive to our ideas and look forward to providing them with the event they, their fans and players deserve.

Kieran Scott tweeted: "Pre season? Pointless, as a lot of the players may no longer be here. Just sack it off if it's not done soon."
