  3. Rock City’s floor has been drenched in assorted beers and beverages for years, something we wouldn’t want at our swanky fan zone! That being said, my drink would have certainly taken flight when England scored the winning goal.
  4. It was a grim incident, and I’m surprised that he has made a comeback. If he can get his career back on track, I wish him all the best. I wouldn’t be shocked if it led to him being more cautious.
  5. It’s regrettable that his time has come to an end, not due to a lack of effort. His skill isn’t the same as when he first joined. There have been some good performances, but not enough recently. Regardless, I would always wish a former Notts player well.
  6. Welcome to the community @Bertinez.
  7. I reckon the design is appealing. Those who might not fancy it at first will likely warm up to it. The red logo doesn’t bother me, and I believe the overall appearance is striking. It’s one of the best I’ve seen in a while, and I’m really hoping the away shirt is equally pleasing.
  8. Rawlinson’s farewell message is a testament to his genuine passion for Notts County. From the day he joined, he became a key player, earning awards and admiration from fans and teammates alike. His pride in achieving promotion back to the EFL is clear, and his gratitude towards the fans shows a deep connection. Rawlinson truly embraced what it means to be part of the Notts County family. We wish him the best for his next adventure. It’s been an honour to have you at Meadow Lane, Connell.
  9. Yes, it appears to be a nice design. I particularly like the menu area as it has a very modern look. I’ve noticed a few issues, but they’re easy to overlook. However, the club’s request for fans to report issues might be something they regret, given how particular some people can be.
  10. Hello, @BiggestPieInGlasgow. Welcome to the Pride of Nottingham! It's good to be welcoming to the site here.
  11. Hello, @Up the Maggies. It's nice to say hello and to be welcoming you. PON should be a good place for you to come and chat Notts.
  12. Cracking signing, Curtis Edwards fits the role rather well. Slotting him into the midfield should be straightforward, I can envision him potentially rotating with Scott Robertson or coming off the bench to steady the ship. Very heartening news.
  13. Top-notch interview with Stuart Maynard, it wasn’t a walk in the park stepping in after Luke Williams departed for Swansea. He had a raft of things to get acquainted with, but the remarks from the players and staff about his pleasant nature and what I’ve observed of his coaching have been encouraging. I always hoped he would reach this point and not end up being shown the door by those fans who voted with their feet and voices. Hopefully, he’ll be all smiles by the season’s end.
  14. Solid update, I wish the site all the best with expanding the team and I value the efforts of everyone involved. I’m keen to see future enhancements to both the site and team.
  15. This news about Meadow Lane is brilliant! We've needed these upgrades for years, especially a new drainage system to avoid waterlogging. Matt Hallam's team worked miracles under difficult conditions, and their hard work has definitely paid off. This investment is not just about improving the pitch but about bringing our club closer to the top tier of football excellence. It shows the club’s ambition and sets a strong foundation for future success. Thanks to everyone who made this happen!
  16. Such sad news. Willie Carlin was a fantastic player and always gave his best. RIP Willie.
  17. Focus on getting better and looking after yourself. Try not to stress about Notts too much, although it’s commendable that you wanted to be there, @Piethagoram.
  18. I hope Connell Rawlinson isn’t in the starting line-up; he tends to make errors. While I value his dedication to Notts, I’m not convinced he’s up to par anymore. I’ve felt this way even before last Saturday. I mean no ill will, as I’m sure he does his best, but we need stronger players. Our current form should motivate all players to prove their worth for a starting spot. This suggests we could recruit better talent. When Notts concedes goals, it often dampens the team’s spirit, and it’s hard to predict the outcome from there. We seldom show the resilience needed to bounce back. I’d suggest Adam Chicksen for centre back since he hasn’t been effective on the wing and might benefit from a more defined role to regain his place in the starting eleven. Apart from that, I’d keep the team mostly unchanged and work through the errors.
  19. Sam Austin stepping up to acknowledge the fans in such a heartfelt manner is precisely why this club feels like family. It isn't just about the 90 minutes on the pitch; it's about the ongoing support, the shared highs and lows, and the collective drive towards success. His adaptability across positions showcases his commitment to the team's cause, something that we, as fans, replicate in our support from the stands. Let's rally behind Austin and the squad for the challenges ahead!
  20. The comparison between the current state of affairs and the Fullarton era really puts things into perspective. It's a reminder of how far we've come and the obstacles we’ve overcome. Yes, the situation isn’t ideal, but turning our dissatisfaction into boos only adds to the pressure on our players. They need us now more than ever. Let’s channel our energies into positive support and help reignite the spirit of Meadow Lane. We’ve weathered storms before; we can do it again together.
  21. Football is a big gamble, but many aren’t ready to invest over several years and establish measures to enhance their financial situation. Teams like QPR spend heavily to reach the Premier League and depend on the parachute payments for support. It might be time to abandon this approach in favour of methods that ensure teams can maintain their operations if they get relegated.
  22. Welcome to the Pride of Nottingham, it's good to have you here @TruroPieSi.
  23. Loved seeing Grealish and McGregor play for Notts. It's those kind of loans that make me support the idea, despite the downsides.
  24. Crewe will pose a challenge, but the last time we faced them in a cup game earlier in the season, we didn’t field our full squad. This could give us some unexpected advantages. I’m unsure if they fielded a strong squad, but on paper, I like our chances, especially with the match being at Meadow Lane.
  25. Newport is a tough away game. They’re strong on their home ground, and currently, most League Two teams could likely beat us. Our morale seems low with little sign of improvement. An early goal and a strong performance would be ideal, but it seems unlikely.
