There has been plenty of takeover talk at the countries oldest football club all season but on Tuesday night Notts County took over the N&R Road to Wembley mantle by beating brave Forest Green Rovers at Meadow Lane 2-1.Notts County overcame a feisty FA Cup display by Blue Square Premier side Forest Green to set up a fourth round tie with Premier League Wigan.
After a drab first 45 minutes the second half burst into life when Stephen Hunt toe-poked the opening goal for the home side from five yards however Forest Green refused to yield and hit back through striker ISAIAH RANKIN'S venomous effort into the bottom corner. Sadly though just one later Magpies top scorer and ex-convict Lee Hughes curled in the winner.
Notts County will meet Wigan at Meadow Lane on Saturday for the League Two side's first FA Cup fourth round tie in 15 years.
