  1. I will be taking part in the Prediction League. I missed playing it, so I will make sure to get involved.
  2. It’s a private jet, isn’t it? Does anyone know for sure what the fuel emissions are? The tabloids are digging deep into this. Yes, it’s excessive, but without all the facts, I can’t really comment. I have seen Notts fans on Twitter talking about it, which makes me laugh because I wonder how eco-friendly they are. Hopefully, the plane is low in carbon and uses sustainable aviation fuels. If this is the case, fair play. If not, maybe it should.
  3. I am delighted that we have signed a centre-back. Ollie Tipton looks like a good addition to the squad, even if it is on loan. With him being versatile, I think it might see us sign more players. I would be happy with the squad as it is. He seems to have a good pedigree and attitude.
  4. I think he left us feeling a bit bitter and took the chance we gave him for granted, by not leading by the example that he had spoken about all season. He said he came to us to gain promotion and be part of a long-term building process, yet he left after having a decent enough season, running off to the first club that needed a manager two divisions higher than us. It just makes me feel disappointed. Notts was basically just a stepping stone, and most good managers could have gotten us to the finish he did. I just don’t understand those who love Burchnall but hate Neal Ardley. That’s why I personally don’t care about his career. He also comes across as a bit self-important, which I do not like.
  5. THOSE LADS! ???? That squad picture is a beauty; it’s awesome to see it.
  6. I wish Jack Bearne all the best at Greenock. I thought his signing to Liverpool delivered big promises, but there’s no reason why he can’t use his time with us and Liverpool to further his career. I hope this is just the start for him.
  7. It’s great news that Cal Roberts hasn’t suffered a break. Hopefully, this means he can make a swift recovery and, in time, come back to being his best. He’s the type of person who will keep fighting.
  8. Sorry, @George L for missing this! Welcome to the Pride of Nottingham, it's great to have you join us.
  9. He has said all the things you would want to hear from a loan signing: he is here to prove himself, to be part of the team, and to help bring success. The talk of something special is something that many optimistic fans can feel about the season. Having a young defender come in makes perfect sense to me. It is not a loan signing for the sake of it, but rather an addition of quality, which is nice to see.
  10. The game was very good. Notts played in such a way that they struggled, and credit to Alfreton, they acknowledged how good of a team we were. I don’t think they had much chance to get going because we wanted the ball so much. It’s difficult to defend, and what made it worse for Alfreton is that we fielded such a strong squad with the intention of giving them longer in the game.
  11. I’m not listening to anything yet. Do you have any suggestions? One thing I want to do is listen to old albums in-depth.
  12. No cleaner shots will go into the back of the net than this! It was just a thing of beauty for sure!
  13. I think Cisse and Gill looked quality. It’s clear the club has high hopes for Cisse. He looks like he could be given time in League Two and thrive with it. However, I wouldn’t rush him. There must be several of them with high hopes, so I hope we can get the most out of them all.
  14. I understand why Andy Dallas has decided to join Barnsley. It’s a good opportunity for his career, and once the club gets out of its current mess, they should be back on their way to the Championship. That, for any young striker, is enough to turn heads. It’s a great chance for him.
  15. Rest in peace, Sinead O'Connor.
  16. Hello to all four of you, I welcome each of you to PON.
  17. David McGoldrick will be an essential player in our quest to achieve back-to-back promotions. While some fans may prefer to take things one step at a time, it is important that we have faith in the abilities of this squad. Luke Williams, in particular, is a real driving force behind the team’s success. It is heartening to see experienced players such as McGoldrick and O’Brien thriving under his guidance. Watching the training videos released by the club, it is clear that the team is focused and determined, yet still able to enjoy themselves and have a good time. Maintaining this balance between focus and enjoyment is crucial for success on the pitch. The smiles and laughter evident in these videos are a testament to the positive morale within the team, which can only serve to benefit us in our pursuit of success.
  18. Fans should be able to call for an internal review when they suspect things are starting to go wrong. The most important part of a club is its fans. Without them, the club is nothing and I feel for Reading. Much like other clubs such as Wigan and Southend, their fans don’t deserve it. I hope Reading manages to get out of their trouble.
  19. It’s good to see Notts back in the Non-League paper, but without being Non-League standard. They positively praise Notts, which is unlike BT Sports until they changed their minds.
  20. They would be better off focusing on teams that aren’t aware they essentially just want the clicks, rather than the reads. Their antics at the start of the transfer window, with all their speculation and β€˜sources’, revealed them to be opportunists. Some of their writers might be fine, but I don’t trust them.
  21. It's not the news anyone wants to read, I feel for his family. Rest in peace, Trevor Francis.
  22. Welcome to the Pride of Nottingham, @Steveyward.
  23. What I like about David McGoldrick is that he’s always talking to the players around him, he’s always smiling too! His homecoming gives us a fairytale type story and on the back of promotion from the National League last season, well it brings optimism with it too. I have enjoyed seeing him so far, I think once the season begins we’ll start to see more of the class he brings. His experience from his days in the Championship and Premier League is going to be a big boost for us.
  24. I find it suspicious that @super_ram first attended a Notts game at Meadow Lane, rather than at the Baseball Ground and some other random team. It’s starting to paint a very clear picture, that tells me he is indeed a secret Notts County fan first and foremost. This Super_Ram is trying to keep his secret going, but I have said it before we can tell he loves Notts more! Can we have a whip-round to buy him a proper football shirt? ???? This is a lovely and excellent read, I am only pulling your leg Super!
  25. I’ve already sorted out my tickets, but I would encourage all non-season ticket holders to make sure they attend the Grimsby game. Their support will be crucial in creating a party-like atmosphere at Meadow Lane. @Fan of Big Tone, do you not go by yourself now?
