After impressing in County's 2-1 League Cup defeat at Wolves, Poole said he did not know if a move would happen during the window given he’s said to be on Fulham’s radar. Butcher said there had been no fresh inquiries and added: ''I am very optimistic he will stay here.'' Poole, 17, still has a year

After scoring both goals away at Huddersfield in the League Cup. Liam Noble has acknowledged the help that Alan Smith has given him. He has been doing one on one training with the ex England midfielder. He said "For the first goal, it was a great ball back from Kyle De Silva. I had to finish it off but it was all about the timing of the run." "In the past few years I might not have made that run. I might have been

Nervous Wreck; since the last time we met, we were all excited with the new players coming in. All in all, we've made close to 17 signings and we're looking to add a few more, especially in defence, Perhaps a RB and Solid Centre Back. Do we take Pre-season with a pinch of salt, or do we look at it as to where we can improve? We have been given a test over the last couple of weeks. First up was Alfreton Town, we went behind to a good goal f

Notts County play hosts to Mansfield Town at Meadow Lane on Friday night. Stags boss, Adam Murray says his team has enough to win at Notts. He said "It will be a great test for us going into that environment against a good team but make no bones about it, we are a very good team ourselves and we are not going there to make the numbers up.. I am not going there to sit back and watch Notts County. We are going into a thunderous environment a

Friday 14th August, Meadow Lane play hosts to local rivals Mansfield Town. The Stags have started the season off by clinching a draw at Field Mill to travelling Carlisle United. The final score finished 1-1, Benning having opened the account for Mansfield. The Owls recently beat them 4-1 away from home in League Cup, yet the performances have left many questions for their own supporters. With Friday now quickly approaching, we here at Prid

Welcome back to the Pride of Nottingham’s League Preview, within this article you will find information on all the scheduled games planned for this weekend (including our own game on Friday night). The key game for this round if we take Notts out of the equation, would no doubt be between the promotion candidates Plymouth and Portsmouth. With both teams eyeing up promotion, after putting last year’s campaign behind themselves. We look forw

Notts County's Northern Ireland international goalkeeper, Roy Carroll, has been handed the captain's armband by manager Ricardo Moniz. Roy said "It was a couple of hours before the game when the gaffer named the team and said I would be captain. I am very proud and it was a great moment for me." "It is the first time I have ever captained a football team and it's a great honour, but we are all captains really and we have to work hard, espe

As I began my journey to watch the opening fixture, I couldn’t help but feel excited. On the back of publishing a video, one in which I am very proud of. I found myself brimming with optimism towards the potential achievements Notts could make within the season ahead. Upon starting my trip to Stevenage, I wondered what the formation would be and of course which defenders would be selected to play. More importantly, I wondered what the curr

A great start to the 2015/16 season for Notts with a 2–0 away victory at Stevenage, with goals from Curtis Thompson and Mawouna Amevor, though the result was slightly marred by the latter's sending off. The result is exactly what Notts must have been hoping for, with a difficult opening game all is positive. With Notts County now looking ahead to their next league game, we here at the Pride of Nottingham take the time to look at this weekends fixtures and results.

Tomorrow, Saturday 1st August 2015, English football history will be made. The FA Women’s Cup final is being played at the iconic Wembley Stadium for the first time in its history. It’s set to be the biggest in the competition's history, with more than 26,000 tickets already sold. Neither Notts County nor Chelsea, the two teams contesting it, have ever won the showpiece of the women’s game in its 44-year history.&#

The mood around the Notts camp at this moment in time must have taken a blow after losing three nil to Conference Premier side Grimsby Town, as it must be hard to accept a defeat even within the late stages of pre-season. After losing to Port Vale, Notts manager Ricardo Moniz spoke about simple things having effected Notts’ chance of winning the game. However, what struck me the most was these comments made by the man himself, “The loss ag

Notts County's home match against Plymouth Argyle, originally scheduled for 3pm Saturday 10th October, will now be televised live on Sky on Sunday 11th October, kick off - 2.30pm. Notts fan and PON member, Julie Henshaw had this to say about the fixture change - "Why do Sky have to change K.O times?". She then went on to say "I'd sooner have had Plymouth v Notts on tv, as its a long way to travel for supporters, cos being on the bench, I'l

What a great pre-season it has been! I’ve been to every match and, frankly, I don’t want pre-season to end. With the bitter reflections of last season still fresh in my mind, I have been thrilled by the passing and movement that RM is keen to instil, and that is rapidly becoming this team’s trademark. The early matches amply demonstrated the skills of the new players while also showing that Jimmy Spencer is back to his best although he sti

FIFA, the global body that controls this beautiful game we know as football, are being investigated for bribery and corruption and it seems that the villains of the piece might be close to the very top echelons of the organisation. If the allegations are proved to be correct, then you have to think the unthinkable and wonder how far down the chain of football administration, the stench of graft will seep. Heaven forbid that we will eventua

Notts County manager Ricardo Moniz has admitted that he would like to bring at least three more signings to Meadow Lane. The Magpies have already added 15 new players to their ranks this summer, as well as promoting two players from the Academy. However the Dutchman, who was unable to keep the League 1 last season after taking over from Shaun Derry, still wants to add to his defensive and attacking options.  

Notts County full-back Jordan Cranston has left the club by mutual consent. The 21-year old joined the Magpies in September last year and was given a new 18-month deal in a month later under then-manager Shaun Derry. However, new boss Ricardo Moniz has signed Rhys Sharpe to battle it out with Blair Adams for the left-back spot in League Two this season. This has left Cranston with limited first-team opportunities, and the decision for him

The Notts County Football Club Official Supporters’ Association are pleased to announce that they have made a substantial donation of much-needed equipment to the club’s Academy. Ahead of the start of the new season, the committee liaised with Academy director Peter Jarvis about what was needed to take the youth team to the next level. He highlighted the need for the Academy to adopt a video analysis system, which would enable two more job

We were within 5 Minutes of Staying in League One, 5 MINUTES. In the 85th minute V Gillingham Something happened and not in a good way. We were so close, yet so far away. My Girlfriend (Villa Fan) was out the house like a flash after their first Goal went in. I kicked the chair in frustration after the final whistle. HOW COULD YOU!! 5 BLOODY MINUTES. Time to focus on the Womens World Cup over here in Canada. Being a Volunteer at the newly

Back in mid-April, Notts County chairman Ray Trew announced during a radio interview that he would be creating a transfer committee at the club. This would consist of six members – all unknown at the time of the interview – who would discuss each player, before the manager, Ricardo Moniz made his final decision, as any manager should do if the chosen players were good enough for the club. After this interview, fans’ opinions were somewhat

Notts County have pulled off an audacious raid on Huddersfield Town by fending off much competition to snap up Jon Stead. Stead’s arrival at Notts sends out a clear message to the rest of the division - that Notts are serious about promotion- with the attacker penning a two-year deal at Meadow Lane following his release by Huddersfield Town. Manager Ricardo Moniz wants his new side to be ruthless in front of goal next season and expects 60

I have a confession to make. I feel sorry for Forest fans. They so desperately want the Cloughie years to return; to be European Champions again. But the facts of the matter are that those days will never be repeated – so long as money falls from the Sky into the lake of professional football to make the big clubs richer, the small clubs poorer, and the gap filled by the ‘also-ran’ clubs, which currently seems to stretch from the middle of the Premiership into the

Notts County have this afternoon confirmed the signing of Belgium international Gill Swerts with the player penning a two- year deal at Meadow Lane. The capture of the defensive midfielder is a major statement of intent by Notts- who aim to put an end to last season's misery and make an immediate return to League 1. The educated midfielder has made the trip across Europe and joined Notts on a free transfer from NAC Breda.
