TIME TO EXACT OUR REVENGE!

SAM SLOCOMBE says Notts County want to wrong some rights from their National League play-off heartache by getting one back over Harrogate Town.

The experienced goalkeeper knows a victory wouldn’t make up for the defeat inflicted by Town at Wembley in August, which denied them an instant return to the Football League, but Tuesday’s delayed semi-final clash can be used as vital season preparation.

The long-awaited FA Trophy tie, to be played at Meadow Lane over one leg, had been originally planned for last Thursday but was moved back when NonLeague Finals Day was postponed because the government are capping test events at 1,000.

“It is strange in terms of the timing within pre-season,” Slocombe told The NLP. “That is going to be a challenge for us in terms of how long we’ve been back and what we’ve managed to do.

“The lads that have stayed from last year have been really keen to stay and hopefully get the job done this season, it’s a very quick turnaround to right some wrongs.
