A blast from the past: Meet the Fans forum special

[Chris]

Rewind to 2015, when every community member, including Granny, loved to take potshots at @super_ram.

The voice-over for @Fan of Big Tone still makes me laugh.

A bit of banter from me at times with Super too, oh how I miss these days, but all good things should leave a smile.

Fantastic those were the days, loads of banter going on and doesn’t @Chris look young? Not sure about @super_ram he’s always looked ancient.

Of course shortly after this video went viral I got a starring role as Darth Vader.

That looks fun! It’s amazing to think how the Pride of Nottingham has thrived despite the on-field and off-field issues that Notts has faced. I’m not sure who it was in the video, but it does feel like a community. It’s a shame some of those who featured are no longer here, but that’s life.

C'mon Man of Mystery @Fan of Big Tone at least you could have said Long Eaton

Some more nostalgia. It's a pity we have lost a few on the way, heavenly thoughts to Granny Pie too

You might think Long Eaton, I can’t possibly comment.

If you have never seen the video before, this explains we refer to Tone as our 'international man of mystery'.

It's one of the saddest elements of running a community, the likelihood of learning about a member who posts but isn't known in person. Such as @Who r ya?? You Pies!!. I don't want to come across as over sentimental, but I spent ages trying to find out if he was okay. I had the feeling something had happened, and it wasn't about posting - more about paying respect.

@anonypie, also is someone who might not have been as active, but was always helpful when needed.

She was the kind of lady that brought people together, and I miss our exchanges of emails. There are a few others who, have sadly passed on. @stewartpot tended to read the site a lot, I loved his character. You could never feel down around him, because he was too lively for that. @GrannyPie loved the community, as much as me, she the care she offered to the younger members I feel will never be matched.

One day, we might see some of the old faces return. I don't know, but I think the community element has grown stronger.

I’d love to see my old mates @Feral Fox and @PTID1862 return to the fold, we had some great banter.
