  1. Amazing! It’s lovely to see how the tree and grass transform with the seasons. This is a really nice video.
  2. I’ll be exploring whether this is a suitable option for me or if I’ll opt for the donation part. Well done to @Fan of Big Tone for making the commitment. There are enough of us, and Notts fans in general, who can make a difference in supporting the gaffer.
  3. Good job, @Piethagoram and @super_ram! You’re both fantastic members who bring a wealth of knowledge and interest to our community. Congrats to both of you!

  5. He may feel that he outlived his expectations, given his struggles with alcohol and drugs. It’s truly heartbreaking, considering he was such a gifted Irish musician.
  6. Hello, welcome to the Pride of Nottingham. @Darryl Chapman. Glad you have decided to join the community here.
  7. Hello, welcome to the Pride of Nottingham. @magpiemad. Glad you have joined us.
  8. Hello, welcome to the Pride of Nottingham. @Laura Cameron, Pleased to see you have joined us.
  9. Hello, welcome to the Pride of Nottingham. @samantha louise, don't be shy to share your thoughts and to join in.
  10. Dan Crowley played a crucial role, and David McGoldrick also deserves a lot of credit for his tireless work to overcome the early setback. I don’t think Sam Slocombe or many other goalkeepers could have done anything about Adam Campbell’s well-aimed shot. It was just too well hit, but our goals were just as impressive, I believe.
  11. It’s great to have Adam Chicksen back, but it’s difficult to know where he’ll fit in and when Luke Williams will give him the time to settle in. Out wide, he poses a good threat and adds another potential scorer to our team. In defence, he can do the job, but in my opinion, he’s less effective.
  12. Is our record against them really this poor? We missed an opportunity to set things right at the weekend. I don’t want to see us lose after conceding four goals to them anytime soon. I hope we thrash them at Meadow Lane.
  13. Lovely, talk about living in comfort with endless riches. Water bills are going up? What’s next?
  14. I don’t think we need to worry. I believe we’ll win some, lose others, and draw elsewhere. I just hope we can regain our form because when we’re on a winning or undefeated streak, we seem to be a completely different team. We could be better defensively, but that’s lower league English football for you. Crawley is a decent team at this level, but I don’t fear any team at home.
  15. Rest in Peace, Terry Venables. I’m saddened as well, but he lived a good life and should be remembered for his achievements.
  16. Mark Stallard makes a valid point, and I don’t think he’s far off. It all comes down to having a true leader in defence. This could make a significant difference, just like the signing of Aden Baldwin did. If we can achieve this in January, we may see improvements. But even if we don’t, we should still be strong enough for at least the playoffs.
  17. Notts let me down yesterday, but they redeemed themselves with the comeback. For a short while, I think we showed AFC Wimbledon why we’re a strong team at this level. If Crowley hadn’t handed them their second penalty, I believe we could have secured a point and possibly even snatched a win.
  18. When we were relegated from League Two and he was available as a free agent, I had hoped he would return to Meadow Lane. I still believe he could have been a significant asset for us, serving as a mentor for others. The 09/10 season, up until the point he left for Derby, was one of the most enjoyable periods I’ve had supporting the club. It feels like those times now, but it’s easier to embrace because there’s no off-field drama.
  19. It demonstrates what it’s like to work for a manager who not only participates in training but also knows how to bring out the best in players in a clear and practical way. I believe most fans feel fortunate to have John Bostock as part of our team.
  20. After much consideration, I’ve cast my votes. I chose the same members I nominated because I believe their contributions to the site this month have been exceptional.
  21. Sensible remarks from the Notts manager. I believe Luke Williams is aware that teams are still getting used to the league table and any one of them can hit a rough patch due to the schedule. In my view, AFC Wimbledon is a team we ought to defeat, but a squad’s strength alone doesn’t guarantee victories. Williams understands that we need to enter the match well-prepared to achieve the best result. I reckon he’s absolutely right.
  22. He’s been fantastic and we’re truly fortunate to have a player of his calibre here at Notts. Observing him both at home and away games, he has a unique bond with Meadow Lane where he flourishes due to the support. He’s been instrumental throughout the season in bringing out the best in his teammates. Success requires players who take pleasure in their football. I’m glad he’s content here, as I’m relishing his on-field performances.
  23. It’s admirable, but is it worth sacrificing seven years of your life, knowing that protesting the war or opposing Putin can lead to severe consequences or even worse? There have been instances where people have been sentenced to death for protesting against Putin, and opposition candidates have been unjustly imprisoned. It seems more logical to either leave the country or start a revolution. However, Russians are generally not known for taking such actions.
  24. Are we even certain that a Notts fan started this? I haven’t read the article, but I listened to the press conference and I’m somewhat puzzled as to why anyone would be so small-minded as to attack someone because of their beliefs.
  25. My choice for the member of the month would be @Piethagoram. In terms of team members, I’d pick @DangerousSausage. No one will be bothered by this, it’s just a bit of fun and part of it is about making people feel appreciated. We have a large number of members, so appreciation will always be shown. This isn’t a competition, much like the leaderboard isn’t taken too seriously.
