I don't eat food at football games. It's either not very good or it's too expensive. I usually eat before the game. At away games, I will get something at a service station. I wouldn't mind Notts upgrading their hot dogs, but I doubt they will. German football seems fairly priced, both to attend and to eat.

It's not good news. I felt sorry that he felt forced to do interviews while he was unwell. He gave others his time even during his remaining time. Rest in peace, Sven!

I hope we managed to keep their services, but I believe the club can find replacement players. Selling late in the transfer window wouldn't make sense. So, I hope we can keep them for longer. But every player has a price, and Notts will decide if any offers are good enough.

I was very sad when I heard he died. Sven-Göran Eriksson had a wonderful season at Notts. He helped bring in good players and lifted the club's profile. I think he woke up a lot of the sleeping fans. Hopefully, most have continued to support the club. This is just a small part of Sven's legacy at Notts.

Oh dear, at least it’s not a broken leg! That’s no fun, but I can imagine an ACL injury is quite painful. I wouldn’t want to be in Geraldo Bajami’s position. I assume it was the same knee, but without news, who knows? I just hope it doesn’t force him into early retirement.

Well done to the juniors. I hope they continue and pursue their football careers. It would be great to see more future England women internationals from Nottingham who have played for Notts.

Matt Smith has been a decent striker at various levels. I thought he played dirty against Notts before, but retirement is a sad time for any player. I hope he finds something to do with his spare time.

So, we have teams allowing their shirts to clash, and another forgetting to bring them in the first place. What is going on with English football? Can you imagine turning up to a game with injuries, claiming you had no kit, and the officials saying, "Well, let’s postpone it, lads," and then everyone heads off to the nearest pub? What a joke. The 3 points should go to the team ready to play, or they should ask to borrow the other team's away shirt.

It’s amazing, yes, but also very uncanny, and because of that, I won’t be sleeping well until I get those images from the video out of my mind. I’d like to kick one over, just to see how it gets back up, if it even would. I’m not looking forward to feeling like I need to sleep with a weapon for the day the machines take over.

Hello, @Andystarscream. Welcome to the Pride of Nottingham. Good to have you with us.

Hello, @Medz59. Welcome to the Pride of Nottingham. Good to have you with us.

Hello, @Beechams. Welcome to the Pride of Nottingham. Good to have you with us.

????‍♂️I can’t believe I forgot again. I’m really disappointed to have missed another round, but I’m pleased to see my mates @liampie and @Joshua doing well. Also, what has gotten into @super_ram? He’s been flying so far this season!

Seeing Macaulay Langstaff reach the record was something I might only witness once in a lifetime for Notts. It truly adds to the appreciation and respect that Tom Keetley’s name deserves. He must have been a brilliant player in his time, and his achievements at Doncaster are nothing to overlook either. I hope Doncaster fans get a chance to read this article because players, even after they retire, can bring fans together, and the memory of that player continues to shine brightly.

The Faces of PON is back! So pleased, as always, to see the pictures you take at games, @Chris. Everyone seems very much up for it, as you would expect. It’s good to see The Navi and The Nest being locations you visited. I bet the faces grew bigger as the game progressed. It’s good to have such a convincing performance. Well done, mate.

This is a very good idea. It might not be for everyone, but no one needs to change their habits just for a print. It’s not for that reason; it’s to give back. I know this is something @Chris feels strongly about. It’s clear he cares about Notts and us fans, so I think it’s super cool that he’s gifting some of his work to fans. I hope those who end up winning appreciate it.

It’s going well, despite the draws. Tonight, Notts could really do with a win just to ignite the season and make things easier. The confidence of winning does tend to build, and I think the squad is more than capable of being up there, but Notts needs to be more ruthless. There’s quality throughout the squad. Stuart Maynard seems to know his best 11 now. With strength on the bench, we need to kick on now.

I don't think it should come at the expense of a fan enjoying their team. Removing people based on what they are wearing, even if it's a fake shirt, seems wrong. I am talking about fans who are sensibly clothed. The issue shouldn't be with those who wear them, but clubs could discourage the purchase of fake shirts. It's a double-edged sword. You can limit those who own or would wear them, while promoting it to people who didn't know.

I have a lot of time and respect for scam baiters and people on YouTube who try to take down or cause trouble for scammers. I think phone operating systems should consider an alert feature that informs the caller that the number is a premium phone line before it allows any ring out, with a popup displaying more information to search the number for known scam calls.

I have a strong dislike for Grimsby Town. I don’t like their fans or their club. They have this unbelievable self-worth, thinking the club is much bigger in their heads than it ever has been. Though this is mostly the loud ones you see, not like the two who featured in the recent opposition view. Still, I would love it if we could comfortably hammer them and keep a clean sheet. A positive win like this could give Notts a lot of encouragement and create that buzz to start a run.

Yes, Jodi Jones and Dan Crowley! I’m so pleased for them, representing Notts despite last season’s outcome. The fact that these two, along with Macaulay Langstaff, got named shows it wasn’t all that bad of a return to the English Football League.

I remember when Craig Mackail-Smith and Jon Stead gave us hope when we played them. But the last time with Jim O’Brien in charge was unpredictable and all over the place. It wasn’t his fault; I thought he did well to take temporary charge after Luke Williams left. I wouldn’t mind a boring draw, provided we played well and caused them headaches. There’s no reason why Notts couldn’t get the first win of the season, but I am mindful that if we try to throw everything at Grimsby, with it being one of those games where we want to win as friendlies due to our rivalry, it might not work out like that.

I have been impressed with how sharp he looks. Like others, I thought he had a poor time in the back half of last season, but I always felt it was due to how many minutes he was picking up. His role is to use his experience and start when given a chance. I’m sure he will get goals, but I see most of them coming from off the bench. He will probably start more games in the cup, at first.

This is great, gaffer! I am pleased to see the effort you have put into this. Asking two fans gives a more in-depth look into what fans are thinking. I am looking forward to the game. On paper, I think Notts should expect to win, but with local derbies, you never know. With it being on a Thursday, it’s going to be a bit unusual. I hope Notts are fully focused and defensively strong against Grimsby.

It would be good if the crowd, new pitch, and players all clicked and made it easier for the game. I am sure the squad is confident and focused. Fleetwood most likely won’t be worried based on our start, but tomorrow it’s two teams who haven’t met this season working each other out and trying to test each other. I think we stand a good chance of making the most of the occasion.
