Transfer Rumours : Cedwyn Scott
Speculation and rumors will link almost all of our players at some point, but I wouldn’t worry. I also don’t believe these fake accounts. As @Robbie and @ARLukomski have mentioned, it’s false news.

Energy Price Cap to Rise 10%.
It makes sense to join a fixed tariff. However, if prices were likely to go down, people would be locked in. Unfortunately, prices won’t go down. The UK needs to control energy prices. Martin Lewis is brilliant with his financial advice.

Opposition View: Swindon Town Fan Lee Witts' Honest Analysis Ahead of Notts County Match
On paper, and based on current form, I think Notts would be the favorites. However, anyone can beat anyone in League Two on any given day. It’s important for Notts to control the game, be creative, and be defensively solid. Swindon have some tall players who are good at set pieces, but I’m more confident knowing we have the calm Alex Bass in goal. It should be a very technical game where skill will make the difference.

August Player of the Month: Pride of Nottingham
I voted for the player who I think has been the most consistent. I think all three players who were named deserve it. But I prioritised their impact on the game, their performances, and how they have generally been when playing for Notts.

Welcome to Notts, Lucas Ness
Lucas Ness should be a good addition. In time, I hope he proves that he was a good signing. I like that we have sorted out the defense and not settled for what we have. I don't think we need any more defenders or midfielders. I think Sam Slocombe and Aidan Stone are good enough as backups. I just wish we had another option up front. But I welcome Ness to the club.

It could be wurst
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.

RIP Sven
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!

Dan & Jodi: Can Notts Keep Them?
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.

Sven-Göran Eriksson: A Legacy Remembered at Notts County
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.

Geraldo Bajrami out for the season.
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.

Notts County Women FC /Juniors
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.

Salford's Matt Smith announces retirement
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.

Game postponed for a weird reason?
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.

Is I Robot Much Closer to Reality?
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.

Prediction league 24/25 round 3 - Saturday 24 August
????♂️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!

Notts Alumni: Tom Keetley
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.

Faces of PON 24-25: Grimsby Town (H)
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.

The Pride of Nottingham Launches Monthly Fan Appreciation Initiative
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.

Stuart Maynard Calls for Better Officiating to Protect Jodi Jones and Other Players
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.

Fake Football Merchandise.
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.

Wangiri Phone scam
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.

Match Discussion: Game 3 - The Mariners (H)
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.
