Throughout the various seasons, PON has made significant progress. Despite the turmoil both on and off the pitch, this has been a pleasant place to visit and discuss Notts. The content produced is also of high quality. I appreciate that it’s a substantial undertaking for the team.

Being a part of the Pride of Nottingham has boosted my confidence. There are so many members whose views on Notts matters I eagerly await. It certainly fosters a sense of community. When I joined as a young teenager, I mostly kept to myself. However, being invited to moderate was one of my proudest moments here.

I am very proud to be part of the PON community of Notts County supporters.

Before I joined, I checked out the site for a while before joining and I was so impressed by the content such as the articles & threads plus the very high calibre contribution from the members.

The PON site is growing from strength the strength with a great team that look after it & the members that contribute to its content. Long may it continue.

i have been here since 2012, i was not much into football as a youngster but i felt at home at notts. those free tickets that notts would give schools paid off, joining pon was the best decision i have made. i have seen members come and go, but the community is great. @super_ram, @Piethagoram, @Fan of Big Tone are three of my favourite members.

also credit to @Chris who does so much, he makes pon shine.

like @Joshua, i have grown and i find people accept me which i have found difficult over the years with being autistic.

Autism doesn’t determine your identity, @liampie. You do. You’re a vital part of what shapes the Pride of Nottingham. It’s a wonderful community.

Blimey @liampie what can I say? I’m honoured to be one of your favourite members, I love you too. ❤️ :biggrin:

Although I am slightly disappointed that my name came after that scoundrel @super_ram he’s not even a Notts fan. :rollonfloorlaughing:

@Fan of Big Tone Hey, let’s not be too hard on Super! He’s an honorary Notts fan. Besides, when we’re feeling low, he can always lift our spirits with updates on how his beloved Derby is performing. 😂🤍🖤

I’ve been here since 29th December 2012, which was a bad year for me it’s the year my world fell apart when my son took his own life, I was in a bad place, it might sound silly but PoN helped by acting as a distraction from some of the bad things going on. I had tried other Notts forums but non matched the friendliness of PoN.

I was a regular poster for a few years and saw many members come and go, amongst them some good friends, I took some time out myself for a few years before returning like the prodigal son a while ago. 😂

@Chris has done an amazing job along with members of the team to make this place not only very friendly but a really amazing community to read and talk about Notts County, football and life in general.

There’s only one downside and that’s the fact that we have to put up with @super_ram but I suppose nothings perfect. Only joking mate you know I love you.

Oh my, things are heating up now! Forget about Usyk vs Tyson. It’s Fan of Big Tone taking on Super Ram. Come on, Super! Don’t let this slide. 😂

My money’s on @super_ram! Apologies, @Fan of Big Tone. I know you’re fond of your jogging and exercise, but I’ve heard from an unnamed source that Super has strength and a bit of a mean streak.

To tell the truth, I find great pleasure in contributing to PON. Being a writer can sometimes be exhausting, but this is my outlet. I genuinely feel at home here.
