NOTTS COUNTY: Fullarton salutes outgoing Magpies' owner Ray Trew

Trew announced on Thursday to fans in an open letter that he had “mixed emotions” of leaving having re-evaluated his position “in light of recent events”.

Reacting to the news in his pre-match press conference, Fullarton said: “Obviously it came as a surprise.

“Over a period of time what Ray has done for the club, I don’t think I could say it any better than what his statement was yesterday.

“I think his integrity and authenticity shone through.”
