  1. It's been discussed for a while now that, in the event the site goes down, PON would need to communicate with members in a safe environment, with updates given across social media. Not just as a means to cover any unexpected downtime, but to centralise the support that the Pride of Nottingham has across all our social media channels. This is not a replacement for the site, but a different way for Notts County fans to stay engaged and join in with the latest news. Please consider joining. 👍🏻 https://discord.gg/WTC4xUAq
  2. I don't know much about him, but from what I have read, I can see why Notts have decided to go in for him. Being an international player, even for Afghanistan, is something that sets him apart from others and will give him something different in terms of experience. How he will fit in and impact our squad remains yet to be seen, but I think it is a good signing. I am not sure what style or ability he brings, but it is encouraging.
  3. Of course, we have done well with working with injured players in recent years. Perhaps hindered more so, since returning to League Two, yet it's good the club has acknowledged this with the recent appointment of Dr. Rhodes.
  4. He can create goals; my concerns are his fitness and injury record, but it makes sense as to why we have sought Dr. Rhodes. I mean, it's a very good signing for League Two; he's still good enough to easily be playing in League One, but I am still mindful. I don't want to knock the signing, but I was hoping we would bring in a player that would have a good record with scoring goals in midfield. Ollie could very well get 5-10 goals, which would be great. I guess we will have to see exactly how he fits into our team and how we get the most out of him. He was a very good player for Shrewsbury Town, so maybe he will shine more in League Two. It's a good signing; I am happy.
  5. I don't think this warrants being shared in the announcement, but I have improved the user group graphics. Once I know how to apply alternative ones for the dark theme via CSS, I will be making those changes. Members who subscribe and have an active subscription will have this reflected in their posts. +Supporters Admin/GMOD/Media Light: Dark: I'm hoping to have better news shortly. 👍
  6. I've disabled every resource so that an issue can be identified. Things should return to normal by the time everyone is back in the morning; the only way to rule out what could be causing the issue is to eliminate conflicts. 👍
  7. I would hope so. I am preparing for Wednesday to be eventful, but tomorrow wouldn't surprise me if we get a bit more news trickling through.
  8. I took my lot to see @super_ram, we had something to eat together and celebrated Father's Day with him. It was nice to get out; I think it's only the second time I have left the house since returning from my family's break on the East Coast. It was actually very pleasant out, and walking home felt lovely. No heat, a breeze, and just warmth. It was then that nice Jake turned to Cheeky and said, "I wish I could have walks in this type of weather more often," as he had been going out with some friends, and those days had been warm. Aside from that, I have been trying to work on areas that need it, but certain parts I can't quite do yet. So I have been moving on to what can be done.
  9. I have watched several YouTube videos on it. One of the videos spoke about how there were plans to cut off the northern part, an area between us and France, to stop the sea from claiming it. Therefore, they could return parts back to land and restore some security of global sea levels to those areas. Much like how the Dutch have done in creating the Netherlands.
  10. If they are closing it down to repaint it, I hope they look at some of the areas of the bridge that need repairing. The last time I walked across it, there were parts where you could see the river through parts of the floor that had decayed. Otherwise, I'm not sure painting it alone is justification enough to close it. It really does need some care, but if our council thinks a lick of paint will do, it. They're wrong; it needs looking after.
  11. Hello, @STAT. Welcome to the Pride of Nottingham. I hope you enjoy being a part of our Notts County community.
  12. Hello, @Alan Underwood. Welcome to the Pride of Nottingham. I hope you enjoy being a part of our Notts County community. PS. I know a few families with your last name.
  13. I think it's a good decision and chance for Jon Stead; I have no doubt he can be a good coach. I wished his time here had ended better. He gave the impression that he was always annoyed and wanted to leave. I don't think being pals with Kevin Nolan helped, but good luck to him in his new role.
  14. It's difficult since COVID; I find myself quite anxious, and I struggle a lot. It depends on the situation, but last season I took a more relaxed approach. My friend Mark and his partner Katrina attended games; he gives me a lift, and it helps, as before I used to rely on public transport. We tend to have something to eat before, @super_pie loves having Burger King, KFC, and Subway right near the ground. After we have something to eat, we walk to the ground, and I try to see if I can notice anyone. I try to say hello, as I feel rude if I go past people, but again, since COVID, it's not always very easy, especially with large amounts of people. If we pop in the club shop, usually it's just to see what sales are on, etc. After that, we go to the Magpie Brewery for a drink and await the grounds opening. When I take photos, I always try to sit at the front and soak up some of the atmosphere. I miss knowing where friends and regulars would sit, as in recent years people have moved around and it's more spread out. I love the atmosphere when everyone comes in spirit, and it can massively help if Notts doesn't play all that well. Though I would say football is generally good to watch from a tactical point of view, even if the performances are off. I love away games due to the togetherness we have amongst ourselves, and when this vibe is present at Meadow Lane, it is brilliant.
  15. I sit in the KOP; I don't plan on moving, but with it becoming busier, I am seeing fans I speak to regularly making a transition into the family stand. I've sat in every stand over the years. My grandfather, Ray, would take me to games when I was younger. Mostly those days were in the Pavis Stand, and being a kid, I always wanted to sit high up. After he died, I didn't attend for a while, but when I went back, it was again in the Pavis. I never really liked it; nobody really spoke, and I would sing, and my children would join in with the chants. We moved to the KOP and haven't looked back. I spent a few months in the Family Stand when I dislocated my knee, which I enjoyed, and managed to get other fans to join in making an atmosphere, but I was keen to get back to the KOP.
  16. Some members might not have experienced it; it depends on their tunnelling and where each connection reaches their global network. I just did a quick Google, and no end of people are complaining about much longer times, so we're lucky.
  17. If you experienced PON going offline briefly a second ago, the issue is with Cloudflare and them reaching our server. It only lasted for a few minutes, very intermittent, but a lot of people have been complaining lately about CF. This is the first time I have noticed it. It's nothing to worry about, it's partly due to infrastructure changes at their end.
  18. Hello, @Oliver Reedtz. Welcome to the Pride of Nottingham. Would you care to tell us a little bit about yourself? Such as your background supporting Notts (if you do) and what made you decide to join us. I do hope you enjoy being a part of our Notts County community.
  19. Thanks for taking the time to introduce yourself, @Aw Saint. In the early to mid-90s, my mum was a self-employed machinist and she worked on a lot of Scottish club shirts, before everything was produced in Asia. One of them was St Mirren. She wasn't allowed to keep off-cuts, though I remember seeing the colours and getting excited about it being the same as Notts. I believe this was the one I recall. As @liampie said, you will have a good trip to Nottingham and our fans are very friendly. Thanks for joining us, I look forward to hearing about your trip, and potential thoughts on some vital three points. 🤞
  20. @super_ram, am I right about my memory of Mum then? The moment I saw the image, I remembered a few memories of when I was younger and we would come to see you whilst at work. I remember always being told not to go too far ahead.
  21. I wondered what everyone else's opinions were on which of David McGoldrick's goals from his time back at Notts which goal was the best team-wise and individually from the brilliance that is Didzy.
  22. PON is experiencing some issues with the topics styling. Please be assured that this is known and will be resolved ASAP. I am currently focusing on the dashboard. If you have any suggestions regarding any aspects, please do let me know.
  23. It's good that he recognises that it's down to individuals, and not something you can pull from a book. So, much of my own journey with hEDS has been physios telling me what suits others, and ultimately I think I would be worse off if I didn't find out what works for me. For guidance, I can understand why textbooks are useful, but to have someone who doesn't rely on them for all the answers is a very good thing. I would hope he can be around for the long haul. If his work does make a difference, it sounds like a crucial step forward.
  24. Some more work needs to be done on the site, which the focus is largely on the dashboard. There's a small update, and a bug with the topics styling. This will be looked into ASAP, it seems to be related to the main theme. My friends that I go to games with have asked if I want to go to the Alfreton friendly. However, Jake already stated to me, as I suspected, that our annual visit to play them would be arranged again. He doesn't want to go, though I have been asked to see if he would change his mind. Not much else to add right now, but I might have some updates later on. What is everyone else up to today? I hope those who are at work are able to keep cool. It's quite humid here.
  25. Hello, @Aw Saint. Interesting choice of username! Welcome to the Pride of Nottingham, I hope you enjoy being a part of our Notts County community.
