Notts County Chairman John Armstrong-Holmes has thanked supporters for "exceeding expectations" as they roared the team on to victory over Accrington Stanley on Saturday.
More than 2,500 fans took advantage of the opportunity to use the Kop Stand for the first time.
But despite the success of that venture the Chairman has revealed that the Kop will not be available to County fans for the final home game of the season against Wycombe Wanderers on 26 April.
He explained: "The Police allowed us to give the Kop over to our supporters because we knew Accrington wouldn't bring many fans with them.
"In the event they brought 101, but the same will not apply with Wycombe.
"We have been advised that they may bring up to 2,000 supporters, and that means the Kop will have to be made available to them. This is a Police decision, and one we have to accept.”
The Chairman says Notts are investigating the possibility of turning the Kop into County territory at some stage in the future, but complications will have to be ironed out before that can happen.
He added: "I would like to thank our supporters for the way they responded to our initiative.
"To be honest we estimated that about 800-1,000 would use the Kop, so to get 2,500 was brilliant and we were delighted that 5,424 Nottingham people came to the game."
