Why did you join prideofnottingham.co.uk?

I think I joined back in October. At that time, I found myself reading a lot about Notts online, and I thought the site was worth joining. I had been reading the site for a while, but it was the friendliness that won me over.

What is your main highlight of being a member?

I haven't been here long enough.

How much have you seen PoN grow during your time?

I have seen the site make great progress in 2023. When I first started reading the site in 2015, I felt that the content has improved significantly since then.

As a community, what would you say are the three core values to PoN and why?

It's fair to say that this is a great place for discussion. The friendliness is excellent, and you are made to feel comfortable, which is appreciated. There seems to be a large group very committed to delivering good content, and that's a win-win in my eyes. Excellent quality, dedication, and effort sum things up for me.

Why did you join prideofnottingham.co.uk?

I found PON on twitter on the Notts County hashtag. I checked the site out on a few visits and liked what I saw, the great content, the banter, & the interesting reading, so I decided to join.

What is your main highlight of being a member?

I really like the content that is being put out every day. There's always something different to discuss with and exchange opinions with members in a respectful way, that you largely don't get on X & Facebook much of the time. 

How much have you seen PoN grow during your time?

I haven't been here very long, however I have seen an uptick in the number of visitors since the new year. That bodes well for potential new members.

As a community, what would you say are the three core values to PoN and why?

When I joined PON I was given a really nice welcome by many members and I realised almost immediately that I was joining a good Community of people all united by their love of our club.

And as a Community I have already seen respect, tolerance and understanding between the members, mixed with fun, banter, & lively debate.

So I would say those are my three core values for this Community, because I've seen it.

I love reading these posts thanks for sharing your thoughts @BlackandWhitePie and @Robbie I think the thing that shines through for most people is the friendliness and respect and long may it continue.

Chris spoke to me in person about his ambitions, what he wanted to achieve and how he felt PON represented the fans but needed help to be more organised. He asked if I would consider joining the team. I was a little unsure at first. I already knew about the great work he had been doing with the site, especially on social media. I do not think the fan base realises how demanding it is to give so much time and effort to a team you care about. It was only after more conversations online that I understood how I could help and why I was being asked to join.

Why did you join prideofnottingham.co.uk?

I joined because I felt it was my duty to help a fantastic fan who clearly lives and breathes black and white. As I said before, joining something where I could use my skills, make a difference and feel wanted made the choice much easier.

What is your main highlight of being a member?

The highlight for me has been seeing more members get involved. PON is a labour of love for the volunteers and I think the gaffer works hard to give value to those who take part. Once you join in, it becomes easy and you start to enjoy it more. When I first arrived, I did not know any of the team and I felt I had something to prove. I always felt accepted, which matters a lot.

How much have you seen PoN grow during your time?

There will always be quiet times or moments when poor results make people less keen to contribute. Even so, I have seen the site grow a lot since the upgrade to v5. I think this shows the effort of the team and the members who want it to succeed.

As a community, what would you say are the three core values to PoN and why?

Core values are easy to name. Dedication, togetherness and professionalism.
