  1. Jonathan Forte had an incredible ability to find the back of the net. He was a natural goal scorer with a keen eye for finding the perfect shot. His talent for scoring goals was matched only by his passion for the game, and he always gave his all for the team. Forte’s time at Notts County was filled with plenty of good memories, as he consistently delivered top-notch performances on the pitch. He was a true asset to the team and his contributions will never be forgotten.
  2. Hello @Fan of Big Tone, the objective of this game is to discover the identity of a former Notts player or manager. Indeed, this individual did play for Notts.
  3. Sorry about that! Earlier, I thought I had sent this message but it appears it was left unsent on my screen. Now it’s finally here. I’ll wait for a few questions before revealing anything in great detail. I’m aiming for 3 to 4 rounds of accurate guesses! Round 8: Clue: He came from London, but he wandered far and wide. He played in many places, but he never stayed for long. Who is he?
  4. I don’t listen to any podcasts, but I do occasionally watch The Magpie Circle. Despite being of the age where you might expect me to consume a lot of media on YouTube, I don’t. I’m not a teenager anymore.
  5. Based on our squad, I believe we could make the playoffs, but we might also end up mid-table. Our squad needs to learn how to compete against professional teams with better overall squads. I hope we can secure points against teams we’re expected to beat. I’m not setting my expectations too high and will support the club regardless of the outcome.
  6. As for today, I don’t have any plans. I went for a walk earlier and stopped by the local shop on my way back. Since then, I’ve mostly been watching various sports on TV. I don’t have any plans for tomorrow either. Work takes up most of my time these days, so it’s nice to relax when I can.
  7. 50,000 - wow! At first, I thought it might be more, but after thinking about it, it seems about right. I hope it’s against a good team so that the club can make a day of it and try to set a League Two attendance record. I’m not sure what that record is, but it sounds nice!
  8. Everyone is hoping that Jodi Jones signs for Notts. There’s no doubt he could be a key player now that he’s found his form and is getting regular game time. I think several clubs might be interested in giving him a chance. We have the advantage of offering him a stable environment and our location is ideal. However, I hope no League One teams or higher come in for him - like a club expected to be relegated from the Championship. Jodi, if you’re reading this, please sign!
  9. Jodi Jones has proven to be an invaluable addition to Notts and it would be fantastic if he were to sign a permanent contract with the club.
  10. It’s hard not to let the former weatherman grow on you. Mark Stallard can be a little cocky at times, but he makes these reactions. As I said, Charlie is slowly being accepted, even if he did cover Mansfield games.
  11. I only watched the show 2 or 3 times, the first time was to support the PON gaffer. I don’t think it’s the best show out there - it’s pretty straightforward and uneventful.
  12. Being part of something like The Pride of Nottingham makes it easier. I used to get disheartened, but it never tested my faith. In my younger teens, I was frustrated that the club was being poorly managed. Being part of this community helps - you read what others say and try to cheer each other up. Thankfully, the past four seasons have been quite enjoyable.
  13. I celebrated by jumping around with @TheSkipper and @liampie. It made the team all the better. There’s a picture of us all together, but I’m not fussed about sharing pictures of myself.
  14. Yes, you’re right. The answer is Tony Hateley in honour of your return. I shouldn’t have mentioned that he played for a different Birmingham-based club. Points Table @Fozzy - 3 @Fan of Big Tone - 1 @KB1862 - 1 @super_ram- 1 Round 7, will be teased at 6:30pm tomorrow.
  15. A warm welcome to our newest member @CountyFan2105! We can’t wait to get to know you.
  16. No, he didn't begin his career at Wolverhampton. However, after leaving Notts, he did play for another club in Birmingham. His footballing CV is quite impressive and he was quite stylish in his day, resembling a popstar. He started his career with Notts. @Chris, @KB1862, @Fan of Big Tone, @super_ram, @Fozzy, @ExiledPie
  17. Since arriving at our club, I agree, Matt Palmer has been paramount to our success. I am also unsure, if you remove him from the line-up, the formation and instructions of Luke Williams simply would work as well.
  18. I’m thrilled that Jodi Jones has been offered a permanent contract. He’s been a fantastic addition to the team since he signed. The released players make sense and their departures seem rather standard. For the first time, Notts County hasn’t required a complete overhaul of the squad and has retained more players than it has released. This can only be a good thing for the club.
  19. No, it’s not Lee Hughes. Unfortunately, that is correct. Chris is also correct in saying that I wouldn’t use a player again so soon. Although it may be mischievous, it could be a good idea.
  20. It’s better to be late than never. However, it does raise the question of why we have to wait when Forest receives their share much quicker. This is especially puzzling considering that Forest would likely require more funding due to their larger fanbase and greater propensity for causing trouble.
  21. In regards to Macaulay Langstaff, I don’t believe he will leave. Chris has been expressing this opinion for some time now and I find myself increasingly in agreement with him. I believe that both the club and Langstaff could rise through the leagues If we strengthen our team effectively. It’s crucial that we maintain our support base, so the club needs to focus on this area. If they do decide to sell Langstaff, we need to ensure that we receive the highest possible fee. I wouldn’t mind if Gatehead had a sell-on clause, as long as we don’t lose out in the end.
  22. It’s always encouraging to see the owners being transparent about what’s happening within the club. I have full confidence that we will sign the right players needed to strengthen our team. While there have been a few misses, most of our signings have been successful in improving our team. I believe that a PR system is necessary as it’s currently difficult to hear any news or updates. I’m looking forward to pre-season and the more relaxed atmosphere of those games before we head into the new season.
  23. Round six: Clue - This lethal finisher began his career with a Midlands club and rapidly made a name for himself as a formidable goalscorer. He’s not the “Ray Trew” prolific type, but rather a true master of finding the back of the net. Good luck! @super_ram, @TheSkipper, @Chris, @Dripsey3, @liampie, @allardyces tash, @KB1862, @Fan of Big Tone, @yelobeli, @Piethagoram, @Canadian, @DangerousSausage, @Megan_Elizax, @upthepies, @thommo, @Carlton, @themightymagpies, @4everapie, @NCRichie, @Joshua, @lambleypie, @Countyman, @ARLukomski, @gtownjohnno, @MuddyPatchPie, @eighteensixtytwo, @BESTpie, @B&Wstripes and @Richo.
  24. The video is excellent and it’s great to see the game from a fan’s perspective. It really adds a personal touch to the experience.
  25. The club could collaborate with @ARLukomski to create a documentary of the season and include interviews with fans to make it even more special. All these videos make this season even more memorable. I can’t wait to see the squad in action in League Two!
