There have been a number of improvements to the community, which I am very delighted with, and I am encouraged to keep this going. There are a number of resources still needing to be upgraded to this version of the site, which is a fresh rewrite of them, and as such, I am appealing to the community to help PON.

This isn't an expectation, but if you could afford to chip in, it would be greatly appreciated.

Each month I try to raise £60 as a means to help pay for the server's cost (we are on a dedicated server, which provides the best environment for PON). I have been using the money from the awesome subscribers we have! As I felt it was right to pay it forward to see site improvements during the upgrade from v4 to v5.

This will be an ongoing donation drive, which I am hoping will raise around £300 so that I can get the remaining resources remade.

If you would like to support this donation drive, please donate via the link below.

Thank you so much for your consideration and support. 🖤🤍

I also want to acknowledge the inconsistency in content; I do what I can when I feel well. This isn't me seeking sympathy, but understanding. I pride myself on trying to bring a professional, but fan-catered, experience. There is a lot that has gone into the preparation of the site's upgrade, which has flowed into the season, but I am pushing to deliver the best experience for Notts fans.

We have excellent contributors who provide fan-written content, and this focus will return very shortly now that the bulk of the work has been completed.

As a volunteer, I’ve been really impressed by how much the site has grown. It’s great to see some of the old features coming back, and I think long-time members will notice the effort that’s gone into making things better. Everything feels like it’s falling into place.

It’s also encouraging to see familiar faces returning, along with new ones joining in. The mix of old and new members gives the forum a fresh energy, and it’s nice to see people engaging again.

On the topic of donations, I’ll give you £20 at the next home game, @Chris.

I hope more people can come forward to contribute I am happy to keep my ongoing monthly donation in place it’s a small price to pay to help this awesome site going which gives so much pleasure to so many.

This wonderful site, full of genuine people who selflessly give their time through thick and thin to keep everything on track deserve not only a pat on the back, but a big thank you for all their efforts and consistency with content.

Count me in for a helping hand, keep up the good work, thank you. ⚽️🤠

@Chris, would it be possible to meet at Meadow Lane so I can give you a donation in person? I’m happy to do it online if that’s easier for you, but I’d prefer to hand it over face to face.

I’d rather keep the amount private, if that’s alright. I hope this works for you.

Yes, that wouldn't be a problem.

Donations can be made anonymously, and amounts can be kept private just for other members peace of mind.

I have no issue with meeting up on a match day, and taking donations in person. I just want to mention for transparancy reasons, in the future I would add donations to the system but making them anonymous and the amount hidden. I would do this because I would want the target to be a true reflection, and to show that I am doing everything by the book.

In time I am sure PON will attract more subs, but donation drives are useful from time to time and I wouldn't want people who have already put in to feel they must here. Really, without the subscribers I would still be needing to manually raise funds.

You are a wonderful person, Michael.

I do hate to ask, and I am mindful about people who have already given so much. Such as yourself, but I can't honestly thank you enough. There are efforts which some might take for granted, but every part played in supporting the site means a lot to me. Your kindness can't be repaid, but I will take the encouragement to deliver more and find the consistancy needed. 👍🏻

Thank you, everyone!

It’s been a while since I last donated, but I’ve really liked the updates. The site looks great and it’s clear a lot of effort has gone into it. I feel it’s only right to support the cause again. I hope you reach the target, this place deserves it.

Wishing Pride of Nottingham all the best. I’ve noticed loads of changes since I last posted, and it’s great to see how things have moved forward. I’ll look to donate in the next few weeks.

i will give you £20 when i next see you @Chris, if not i will donate it online. 👍

If you can meet me near the burger van in the KOP, I will make the donation in person, gaffer. I wish you all the best with this, as the improvements and updates have been spot on. You are enhancing a brilliant community, which now seems to be getting the recognition it deserves. I wish I could help more, but I will make time to contribute to the site and do my part.
