I’ve lived in Clifton, Nottingham all my life and have always been a proud resident of this wonderful community. Although I live about 6.6 miles from Meadow Lane, it’s still a special place to me and holds many fond memories.

Send the video of Luke Williams chasing the deer away from the training ground, in to You've been framed! His agility and persistence were quite impressive. I can only imagine what the deer was thinking: "I didn't sign up for this kind of training!" But I would to ask, if he would consider signing the deer to the team? It's always good to have some extra speed and agility on the pitch. Plus, I hear deer have a mean header!

It's great to end the season at Meadow Lane. While there's a sense of sadness that this special season is almost over, there's also excitement for the playoffs. There are many things to take away from this season, but securing all 3 points against York City in the last game would be the icing on the cake.

Is the person who created the "Big Al" cartoon the same one who made a mistake on Twitter? The comic strip is humorous, but it's good that it highlights the sales of Cal Roberts and the potential compensation from FGR. The Reedtz have made good investments in Notts and it's not fair to make fun of them for doing what they thought was best.

Well done to @TheSkipper, @liampie, super ram, and @menzinho for taking part in the guess who game! Well done to fozzy for guessing the correct answer! The next one will be posted on Thursday. Keep up the good work everyone! Points Table @Fozzy - 1 @super_ram - 1

Adam Chicksen has signed a new two-year deal at Meadow Lane. The 31-year-old wing back first joined in 2020 and has become a cult-hero among supporters with his tireless performances and goal-scoring ability. This season he scored 11 times, an impressive feat considering he had only scored seven times in his whole career before. The board of directors and head coach Luke Williams are delighted to reward his immense contribution to the club. What do you think about Adam Chicksen's new contract? Do you think he will continue to be a goal threat for the club?

The formation of the teams that end up in the playoffs will be interesting, but I’m not worried about any of them. I believe that training and preparing for all of the teams before the two legs begin will prove worthwhile. Once it’s announced who we will face, Luke Williams will do the necessary homework. The players just need to avoid becoming complacent and remain focused for the entire game.

I thought I had replied to this, but it seems I didn’t. I don’t follow any other sports teams as closely as I do Notts County. I enjoy horse racing, darts, wrestling, tennis and watching football in general, but it doesn’t interfere with attending games. Life sometimes gets in the way with birthdays and other family events taking priority over football. Otherwise, I am as dedicated as possible.

I have set my mood to ‘cool’ and hope it will remain that way until the weekend. I do use it occasionally, but not as often as I should. I agree that it’s a fun way to express oneself on PON.

I know he went to China on loan, but moving there permanently doesn't seem like the best decision for a 21-year-old. It might have been better for him to drop down to League One if he had any choice in the matter. It seems to me that he has been used as a pawn. Did anyone else notice that Alan Hardy's son also left Wolves and joined Rotherham United? I wonder if this played a factor in how Wolves managed to acquire Dongda He so cheaply.

By intentionally including the words 'county' and 'argumentative' in my statement, I aimed to throw people off and add an element of confusion. However, I want to clarify that the answer is not Roy Carroll. This person has over seven times the number of appearances that Roy Carroll made for Notts County and also played for Lincoln City. After his playing days, he remained in Nottingham and became a landlord.

That's incorrect once again, Super. He isn't Polish. This person was a goalkeeper known for his exceptional performances, but also for his outspoken and argumentative nature on the pitch, which caused him to miss some consecutive appearances for his team. He had two brothers that also played sports.

It seems like the rivalry between Notts County and Wrexham has died down for most fans. We were beaten to the title because Wrexham held their own in those key stages when it mattered. I want to congratulate them and wish them well in League Two. I hope we get to play them in the next campaign, and I don’t mean in a cup game. It would be great to see our teams go head-to-head again.

I hope you (@Megan_Elizax) enjoy having a season ticket. It definitely makes things easier if you go to enough games. I haven’t renewed mine yet, but I will be. I can’t afford to miss out on the excitement and energy of being at the games in person. It’s a great way to support the team and be part of the Notts County community.

I’m excited to renew my season ticket on Saturday, either before or after the game. With the team’s recent success and the club’s commitment to moving forward both on and off the pitch, I have high hopes for a surge of new ticket holders when they go on general sale. It’s a great time to be a Notts County fan!

Neither answer is correct. I am waiting on a few more responses before revealing more information about this former Notts County player. Stay tuned for updates!

Fair play to Ryan Reynolds for his statements and well wishes towards Notts. It’s been unbelievable how good this season has been. The players just need to go that extra mile this time and finish the job in the playoffs. Let’s do this! COYP!!

It’s such a shame that Notts didn’t get promoted on 106 points. But I truly believe that if they can do it once, they can do it again. If the club maintains this level of players, there’s no doubt in my mind that they’ll achieve promotion again.

Round Two: Clue: This person was well known for their exceptional performances as a goalkeeper and are regarded as a local legend in their home county. Points Table @super_ram - 1

22 minutes in, Cedwyn Scott (5) and Jim O'Brien (14) make it 2-0 to Notts.

Jérémy Balmy's time at Notts County was disappointing as he failed to live up to his potential, despite possessing rapid pace as an asset. The team struggled to utilise his skills effectively on the field. However, there was always a hope that Balmy would prove himself as a special player, with his skills and athleticism. Unfortunately, he couldn't make the most of his time at the club, leaving his potential unfulfilled. Nevertheless, he will always be remembered as a skillful player with the potential for greatness.

When I was five years old, my dad took me to see Notts County play at the historic Meadow Lane stadium. As we walked through the turnstiles and into the stands, I felt a magical vibe wash over me. The smell of freshly-cut grass, the sound of the crowd chanting and singing, and the sight of the players warming up on the field all combined to create an atmosphere that I would never forget. From that day on, going to see Notts County play became a routine for me and my dad. We would go to every home game and, on occasion, we would travel to watch them play away. I was fascinated by the game itself, watching as the players moved the ball up and down the field, scoring goals and making tackles. As the years went by, Notts County had its ups and downs. We had some great moments, like winning the League Two championship in the 2009/10 season and playing some big teams like Liverpool in the League Cup. But we also struggled in League One, facing relegation battles and fighting to stay in the division. Despite the highs and lows, my love for Notts County never wavered. I felt a sense of pride every time I put on my black and white scarf and went to a game. Even when things weren't going well, there was something special about supporting a club like Notts County, with its rich history and passionate fans. Now, many years later, I still feel that same magic vibe every time I walk into Meadow Lane. It's a feeling that has stayed with me all these years and has made supporting Notts County a permanent part of who I am.

I am delighted to see the club continuing their approach to player recruitment. In the past, we have relied heavily on free agents or high-profile signings, which can be hit or miss. However, by targeting players that other clubs want or want to keep, we are building a team with depth that can compete at a higher level. This seasons signing of Sam Austin is a perfect example of this new strategy in action. He was highly sought after by other clubs, but we were able to secure his signature. And he's not the only one. John Bostock and Aden Baldwin are other signings this season who fit this pattern. One of the biggest advantages of targeting players that other clubs want or want to keep is that they are motivated and hungry to succeed. They are proven performers who are already at a high level, and they want to continue to grow and improve. This can only be good news for us as fans. It's also reassuring to see the club not relying solely on free agents or marquee signings. While these can sometimes pay off, they can also be risky and may not fit in with the team's playing style. By building a squad with depth, we reduce the risk of this happening. Naturally, it remains to be seen whether this novel approach will yield results in the long term. However, at present, I am optimistic about Notts County's future. Last season, we came very close to being promoted, so bolstering the squad's depth has been crucial for me this season. The recruitment has been excellent and has allowed the club to contend for the title, taking us a step closer to achieving promotion back to the Football League. Come on you Pies! Some questions to consider: Why is it advantageous to target players that other clubs want or want to keep? What are some of the risks associated with relying solely on free agents or high-profile signings? How has the club's recruitment strategy impacted their ability to compete for the title and achieve promotion to the Football League?

@super_ram is correct - the answer is Lee Hughes! That's one point to Super Ram. The next clues would have been: He started his career in the Conference with Kidderminster Harriers before winning a £380,000 move to his boyhood club in August 199x. He finished as his club’s top-scorer for four seasons running and earned a place on the PFA Team of the Year in 199x–9x after finishing as the highest scorer in the top four divisions of English football. In August 200x, he was sentenced to six years’ imprisonment for causing death by dangerous driving following a fatal crash on 23 November 200x. I will post another one of these on Monday, let's see who can guess correctly next time as I continue to bring the Guess Who? The Notts County Edition.

He represented the England semi-professional team once in 19x6 and worked as a roofer alongside his father after being released as a youth footballer.
