Faces of PON 24-25: Gillingham (H)

Faces of PON, the long-running fan album project by Chris Buckley, founder of Pride of Nottingham, continues its mission to highlight the true heart of Notts County Football Club - the supporters.

During Saturday’s fiercely contested match against Gillingham at Meadow Lane, which ended in a narrow 1-0 defeat for the Magpies, Buckley once again turned his camera to the fans, capturing the passion and pride that have long defined the Notts County faithful.

"Even when the result doesn’t go our way, the support from the stands never wavers," says Buckley, reflecting on the Gillingham match. "It was another tough day for the team, but the fans remain the soul of this club. Faces of PON is my way of preserving those moments of dedication and unity, no matter what happens on the pitch."

As a regular presence at both home and away games, Buckley has made Faces of PON an integral part of the Pride of Nottingham community, giving fans a chance to be part of a visual record that stretches back through the seasons. For the Gillingham match, Buckley was once again among the crowd, photographing familiar faces and new supporters alike, all united by their love for Notts County.

"The Meadow Lane crowd was fantastic as always," Buckley shared. "Capturing that energy, the pre-match excitement, the highs and lows, it’s what makes this project special to me. It’s more than just the result—it’s about the fans and their unwavering connection to the club."

The Faces of PON project, which has been a fan favourite for years, is driven by Buckley’s dedication to showcasing the stories and personalities behind the supporters. Whether at a victory or in defeat, the album aims to immortalize the spirit of the Notts County fanbase, giving them a platform to share in the club’s history through a collection of candid matchday photos.

"I want to encourage all Notts County fans to come and be a part of this project," Buckley says. "The Gillingham game might not have gone our way, but the supporters showed their true colours, and that’s what Faces of PON is about - capturing those moments of resilience and pride."

Fans can view the latest album from the Gillingham match, along with photos from previous games, on Pride of Nottingham. With each game, the project continues to grow, documenting the passion and loyalty of Notts County’s community.
