I'm pleased Connell Rawlinson has committed, I think with the right support he and the club can prove it was a good decision. Personally, I think he earned the renewal, even though when we first discussed the out of contracted players, I said we could afford to release him. I felt after those comments, he shown why we could do with his experience. No, I can't say it is.

I've been trying to get @super_ram into this, keep his brain engaged. He likes things like this, I don't play it but it's popular. The TV game show based on this is a bit average but can be fun.

Well, I have been told one person who hasn't been announced yet has agreed a new deal. I'm hoping he can help get the job done next season, as we need to exile our past demons. I don't think Kyle Cameron will leave. I'm a bit worried about Aaron Nemane after hearing about the interest from Portsmouth. Cal Robers has been teasing fans on social media, something our fan base can't seem to take without exploding. At least he's encouraging Ruben Rodrigues to sign our offer.

Hello and, welcome to the Pride of Nottingham, @LesBradd4England. I hope you enjoy being a part of our Notts County community. It's really nice to be saying welcome to you.

Welcome to the Pride of Nottingham, @Magpie Bill. I hope you enjoy being a part of our Notts County community. Thanks for joining us!

Hello, @McSwegansRightPeg. Welcome to the Pride of Nottingham, I hope you enjoy being part of our Notts County community. See you around!

I missed the one last season, so I'm looking forward to it. I'm not generally bothered about friendlies, but a bit of sporting rivalry and a bumper attendance wouldn't be bad. Hey, maybe we can go one better over Forest this time.

If there's money, it will talk and to be honest how picturesque it is near Cornwall it may appeal to some. There's apt to be said about the quiet life, rather than a busy congested City.

I scored a screamer on FIFA 21, probably the best goal I've scored on the game. I'm usually rubbish from outside the box but the passing which led to the goal was also exceptional. I'll be buying the more updated version when it comes out. I know a few who play, it might get @super_pie somewhat interested in posting. Give it a go, we can only know for sure by trialling things. @ARLukomski would you be on this?

Glad to see the responses so far, sounds like everyone is at least finding something to keep busy which is good. It's been a nice weekend, things started to get calmer and the warmth did return. It was just Chapel where the wind was bracing, Skegness was sunny and calm. I'm already quite tanned. @Fozzy: Birminingham to Athens, I hope you enjoy those few days you spend there! @super_ram: Don't forget we've offered to help. I know you want to do things yourself but think of the quality time of doing it together. Don't have it all done by the time we return, or there will be a couple of people annoyed with you.

Well we've seen the atmosphere of German football games, it makes you appreciate that all the more and to say they look after their own. It's something some of the Notts trolls could learn about, instead of trying to pick fights and resorting to being pathetic on social media. Mental illness is a serious issue, but sometimes it seems like people only offer support during times when it gains them recognition. Increasing awareness is crucial, but it's important to ensure that those who suffer from mental health issues receive the proper care and support they need. I used to spend hours on Reddit talking to people in subs related to depression, suicide etc. Supporting a football team is a great way to take a break from our daily lives. However, I know some fans that were really upset about our team getting relegated. They were concerned about the club's ability to recover from the drop, and it weighed heavily on their minds. I have always tried to support fans.

I have always tried to make sure that people who follow football, yet live away from their club give Notts a chance. I worked with a lot of Polish people awhile ago; they always spoke highly of football and I suggested that they should go to Notts. Their background information on Notts was a little basic to say the least. A co-worker who is on here and is of the red side - would pipe up about going to see real football if he overheard me talking about them going to Notts. I sell the togetherness of the majority of fans, that we would do right by fellow fans and that we're a very friendly club. Forest doesn't allow children under the age of 4 to attend games, but a family friend named Adam went to at least one game with his family in the family stand. I could tell some stories about being asked what shirt I am wearing by actual people who should know better and, whilst it's funny. I tend to ensure they get told off for asking such a silly question.

@liampie It worked for me when searching Notts on my phone, but the animation was obviously less impactful than on a desktop. Still it was very nice to see.

Dover made a fortunate decision when they backed out of fulfilling their National League matches. The situation was regrettable. I wish Hednesford Town all the best, I hope they managed to resolve their issues and find investment to continue their journey. Less local people are buying into clubs, most are fans, and we know how that works out usually.

@4everapie - Coventry used some deceitful tactics against us, and it's unfair how officials give in to pressure when hoards of belligerent players forcefully surround them in important moments. Coventry was determined to win, even if it meant resorting to negative tactics, despite the corrupt officials. Not all blame should go to the officials, Michael Doyle was an absolute knob in those two games and funnily enough that ended up being forgotten. It's great to see Luton finally join the top flight after narrowly missing out on the Premier League formation, just like our team and West Ham. They should take advantage of their central location to attract players from other London teams, but they need to avoid spending too much money and maintain their competitive spirit. If they can manage to stay up, then it's a case of improving on the squad from the previous campaign, and hopefully they'll establish themselves. If not, build to bounce back.

I would rather see Sheffield Wednesday gain promotion, as it should be better for Derby. I don't rate Barnsley enough to suggest they should go up, but I do like their ground. It would be fun if they stayed in League One until we managed to get back up there, I'd love to do that away game mid week again.

What's everyone been doing this weekend? It's been very busy at Skegness, very warm too. Today we went to Chapel, which dropped a bit cold due to the breeze. We've been making the most of the quieter areas so far. Plus having walks, which is something we like to do between going on the beach. Not bad, plenty more to be done.

Jimmy Knowles did well for Notts, I know he had hoped Mansfield would allow him to join us and there was serious interest from Notts. Yet when a young striker does well with a rival team, that managed to get the best out of it. It's unlikely that they won't give him a chance. I don't think Mansfield would get the best out of strikers that we do; we played a certain way and Mansfield are completely different to that. Good luck to him at Boston. I recently went past their ground, and it looks nice from afar.

Greg Tempest got upset with me when I praised him whilst appearing on BBC Match Talk, I praised his passing ability and tipped him to be a player that would reshape our squad in the future if he was given more time. A comment I believed, because I liked his work rate, character and ability. I thought he would've established himself as a League One/Two midfielder. I'm not exactly sure why he became upset with the comment but since his career hasn't turned out that well. I suppose he might have doubted what I said, that's on him and his confidence. I still feel he's wasted such a good talent that others more focused on their actual career would've made the most of. Some of his teammates when at Basford would agree that he lets himself down.

It's what happens when you bring in so many egos into a club that already has their own established players with cocky or overconfident players. I feel sorry for Messi, he's been nothing but a gem to PSG. Their star striker, that looks like he's from TMNT is a right . Naymar is also overhyped beyond anything I have ever known. These two players are toxic but PSG is filled with players whose arrogance compels them to be a very disliked club.

Kristian Dennis vs. Kyle Wootton! I love Carlisle I have found memories of trips up there, so I am slightly hoping we get to play them. I really want to win against Stockport on their own turf, especially because their fans were very annoying about their promotion to the Football League.

Good player for sure! I thought he would be difficult to replace, but Matt Palmer is such a better player. Plenty of fans have said that Reeves never looked bothered, it's something I tend to disagree with because he always appeared to do his best. I think Wimbledon re-signing him is best for him and the club; they're a good fit. Yet he's very much a Neal Ardley type player and I think he only joined us because of Ardley. Good luck to him!

He looks very happy, which is great! I had him as a friend on Facebook for a short time. I also have met him on three occasions, and he's an extremely tall, very empowering figure. I have big hands, yet his was huge and his handshake was extremely firm. Somewhere I have a picture with him, which is one of the things I am most proud of having when it comes to pictures with current/ex players. Him and Mark Stallard.
