Welcome Elite_Pie

Hello @Elite_pie, welcome to Pride of Nottingham (PON).

I should apologise, as I thought I had welcomed you. It's nice to see you have joined us and I hope that even when your ban is lifted you will still visit us. I am very passionate as a fan about Notts, which I believe this place represents and the only thing I hope is to bring others enjoyment. We are one of the same and I've never been into separation or anything like that.

Please do tell us a little bit about yourself. You Pies!

Thank you for the welcome.  Must admit I'm struggling to find my way around the site a bit but I'm sure I'll get there.  I recognise a few names from NCM so they will know what to expect of me - very balanced and reasonable unless I'm talking to Forest fans!

I have supported Notts for 45 years now, my first game was the season after Jimmy Sirrel was appointed, so a brilliant time to start.  It was a combination of teenage rebellion and love for the underdog that made me go for Notts rather than the dark side.  I barely missed a game, home or away in the 70s, but mostly missed out on the Wembley and Division One years due to young kids and a wife who worked on Saturdays.  I never lost my passion for Notts and have had a season ticket in the DP stand for the last 15 years.  I survived the awful days of the Trust ownership and McParland's management with enthusiasm intact so as long as I am physically capable I'll be at Meadow Lane if Notts are playing.

What right do you have to tell me I'm wrong?  You're not my Granddaughter.

Elite....you will find this site a little quiet at times but I think Joe is doing a terrific job of keeping everyone informed of the goings-on at ML....the pre-match stuff is superb, post-match analysis and goals etc is also spot on.....not a lot of o/t stuff to fill the gaps between match days but I am trying to add my usual ramblings!!

@Elite_pie - That is Tarquin's top tip for finding content ;)

Yes, we still have quiet days but I do my best considering (PON has been plagued by three poor seasons) but with contributions we are growing by the day.

Thanks for the compliment @tarquinbeech. Both myself and Joe, along with all the team members certainly try our best.

I honestly think this site is superb albeit a little quiet at times, which is why I try to ramble on a bit on o/t posts like my "smuggling" post.......we just need a few more diverse characters to get the place buzzing. Elite and myself have had our differences over the years on the "other site" but I think that is what makes a forum site interesting. I used to log in 4 or 5 times a day there just to see who was on. I think Elite was the all-time 8th poster with 11,000 posts, I was a mere 3,000..........anyway, I am here now and I will not be going back

Anony was a firm believer in this also, I just want things to remain respectful - I don't like the divisions between our supporters and especially how it's sort of hostile at times, especially for me but I understand that some may fear change.

Discussions are better for having points raised and discussed, yet there's no need for it to ever become unpleasant for anyone.

I am sure as time progresses more will join in and those 'quiet' times will filter away. The enjoyment to see something you work hard for enjoyed is second to none, and I make no dismissal that things could improve but that is why I always hope that posters will chipping in. I don't really see why people say there should only be 'one main forum' because anything promoting Notts is useful for fans and opinions on those will always vary.

I enjoy reading your rambles, as I do the posts related to Notts and I'm pleased your here. Thanks again!

Welcome to the site @Elite_pie! One of the charming things about it is the welcome thread. I just signed on too have a quiet look around, and all of a sudden there were half a dozen people welcoming me! I had to stick around and keep posting really, otherwise I'd have hurt their feelings. ;)

The welcome thread is indeed a nice touch, especially appearing within a few minutes of the initial post.  One thing I forgot to add above was the reason for my user name - the 'Elite' bit doesn't mean I have a high opinion of myself, as many on NCM assumed.  I signed up on there when 'Rivals' closed down and my Rivals name of Nuthall_Pie was already taken, so I picked the Elite name from a horse racing club I belonged to.  With hindsight it wasn't the smartest name to pick, but I've had it for so long now I can't be bothered to change.  You'll probably see my horse pic as an avatar when I work out how to do it!

What right do you have to tell me I'm wrong?  You're not my Granddaughter.

Is it you on the horse @Elite_pie?

Unfortunately not, jockeys weighing 13st 10lb don't seem to be in demand.  I did once sit on a thoroughbred and couldn't believe how far it looked to the ground below.  I only got to walking pace, that was fast enough for me!

Welcome, join in and invite people you know.

PS At least PON is Notts through and through, I would rather support a fan than a company. This place is Notts!

Oh oh oh ohhhhh, everywhere where we go, watching super County putting on a show!

Thanks again for the welcomes, much appreciated.  I'm not as bad as my NCM reputation makes me appear, I only really argued with Forest fans and those who seemed to have an anti-Notts or anti-Trew agenda.  This site does seem to be for those who actually support the club which is quite refreshing.

ps super_ram, Derby are my third favourite team.  Called County, play in black and white, hate Forest - what's not to like?

pps In case anyone was wondering who my second favourite team are, it's whoever Forest are playing.
