Faces of PON 23-24: Doncaster Rovers (A)

PON_News

By PON_News

The Faces of PON returned for the 2023-24 League Two season, capturing the emotions and reactions of Notts County fans as they entered the Eco-Power Stadium (Keepmoat Stadium) for their away game against Doncaster Rovers.

The Magpie fans were in full spirit, impressing through the game with their support. Chris Buckley, the Pride of Nottingham gaffer, was hands-on, taking pictures of the fans.

Speaking to fans before the game, it seemed an unknown game as to what to expect. Chris felt that a 2-1 Notts win was on the card, whilst the majority of fans that he spoke to struggled to draw a conclusion.

Despite the mounting anticipation, the support remained remarkably composed and showed no signs of any nervousness or uncertainty. With the away end making the atmosphere feel very much like a home game, and the reactions were incredible. Each goal, the away end went into raptures.

One memorable moment was when Saint Raymond put his hand up for a high-five and both he and Chris embraced in a man hug and started jumping up with pure joy.

“It was crazy, in a fun and enjoyable way,” said Chris. The buzz created by our travelling support truly brought out the emotions, reminiscent of another unforgettable experience at Wembley. Another highlight was Macaulay Langstaff’s celebration with his permanent smile and fist celebration in front of us for the second goal - absolutely magic, and he deserved the brace!

The 3-1 victory against Doncaster Rovers puts things into perspective. Yes, Doncaster Rovers were poor but Notts didn’t allow them to really get going. The 3-2 win at home over Grimsby gave us 3 much needed points, yet it’s our away form which really needed a positive result with the hammering Sutton United gave us and then the draw against Morecambe.

This win is a boost, as we have been improving and the confidence from such a solid performance is something we can draw from. The importance of the match is that it can encourage us to strive to get victories on the road. The togetherness between club, players and fans is massive, and it’s a winning formula. Having our first away win of the season, with such a dominant performance will be a game that we can build on from.

The Faces of PON continues to capture the passion and emotion of Notts County fans, providing a unique perspective on match days. Be sure to check out the gallery on the Pride of Nottingham website and Facebook page.

I think these photos perfectly encapsulate the strength and unity of Notts County's community. The energy, the joy, and the sheer exuberance radiating from the supporters are exactly why we love football. It was also enthralling to observe Langstaff's celebration in front of us - it felt like we partook in his joy of scoring. This piece certainly highlights the bond between the team and its fans, making us anticipate the next match even more!

These photos capture more than just the enthusiasm of the Notts County fans. They document the essence of belonging part of a football community. The fervent camaraderie, the united cheers, the sheer exhilaration and even the tinge of anxiety, all blend into one potent mix that defines the Notts fan experience.

It’s lovely to see the fans enjoying themselves at the game, I particularly like to see pictures of youngsters enjoying supporting Notts it reminds me of when I was a small boy watching Notts,  they are the grown up fans of the future and hopefully they will be supporters for many more years, once you are bitten by the Notts bug there’s no going back.

It's a pleasure to see the Faces of PON making a comeback. The sheer quality it brings is evident, and I can't help but wish that more Notts fans could fully grasp the extent of the gaffer's contributions to all of us.
