How do lads and lassies. It's been a while. I've been in self imposed exile since March 2017. I won't go into the reasons again, except to say that I had a beef with AH. AH had the best of intentions, I don't doubt that for a second, but his execution has cost us our league place. As AH is on his last legs at the club, I thought it was time to end my exile and start engaging on where we go from here.

Make no mistake about it, the Conference is a tough league. Every team will be gunning for Notts, it will be the equivalent of a cup final for a lot of clubs. I've been keeping an eye on Barnet and they found the adjustment difficult. You have to bring in experienced players at Conference level and mix them with what's left over. If a team is not prepared to do battle every single game, they will find themselves near the bottom. I hope NA stays on as manager, I think he's the man for the job ahead, if not, we need a manager who has deep knowledge of the Conference. I bet Martin Allen will pop up if NA does leave! 

I'm not going to get sentimental because it was my choice, but I have missed all things Notts. The best thing about the club are the fans. 

It's good to see you back @Dripsey3, great returning post too. Are you still on Facebook mate?

Coming to Meadow Lane will be for most teams their FA Cup final, they will want to win Notts and do it well. Some might even try to be more physical against the players, so this is something they must adapt too.

This past campaign, this is exactly the type of style Notts could never handle.

I'll tell you what sealed it for me. I saw a photo on the BBC FB page of you and your son, The look said it all. I know then that it was time to return!

@Dripsey3 welcome back. ????????

talking about notts can be a task but its what we do. national League could be the rebuilding of our historic club if we come back stronger.

It's great to see you back @Dripsey3, please do pop on when time permits as I enjoyed reading your thoughts in the past.

It's time to make and shape the Notts County community, it's great to see members returning. Welcome back @Dripsey3.
