Finally a quality retro shirt release
Has anyone bought one yet? I'm curious if the sizing is like Puma, where I usually need to go a size up from what I'd normally wear.

RIP Dick Edwards
It’s a bit surprising that Notts didn’t say anything about it on the official site. He was such a big part of our club’s history. Aston Villa shared a tribute, which was respectful, but most of his playing days were spent with us. Rest in peace, Dick Edwards. He’ll be remembered by many who watched him play.

Exploring ways to further strengthen the coaching and staff structure
I think it’s a sensible idea. It’s always good to have someone involved that the fans admire and respect. He could take on a similar position to what Les Bradd has done for the club. I also agree that Neil Warnock’s experience could be a real asset to whoever takes over as head coach. Even if we go with the Danish Under-21s manager, a bit of support wouldn’t go amiss. I reckon the Reedtz brothers have considered this too, especially after how things played out last season.

do you think jatta will be sold?
I hope we don’t sell him just yet. I don’t think the club would accept anything other than a big offer, and selling him would mean finding a replacement. I think we might get a good fee for Alassana Jatta at some stage, but with Mai Traore, we’d be lucky to recoup half of what we spent on him. Jatta is too important a player to let go cheaply.

Jayden Richardson
I wish him well with you. I think he could become a very good player if he fitted in and settled at a club. There was a time when I wasn’t convinced by him, but towards the end of his loan spell, he played some of his best football for Notts.

New shirt
Notts announces it late because they don’t buy enough to meet the demand from our fans. They know it will sell out early, and people will want more. This makes it easier for them to bring more in around Christmas or later. Expect the announcement near the final friendly.

Finally a quality retro shirt release
@DangerousSausage, It looks somewhat reimagined, as the badge I remember was a single design with no writing in yellow or gold. It was just a full badge that would easily peel off, like the home bitter and match winner logos. This version is very close. It’s probably designed this way so people don’t try to pass them off as originals. Some take fake shirts and make slight changes, while others do nothing and still sell them. Below is a genuine shirt I found for sale on eBay.

What's Behind the Delay to Appoint a New Head Coach?
It's impossible to know without inside knowledge, but I’m sure there are good reasons. The club might be waiting for a visa to be granted, though that hasn’t stopped them from announcing players who needed one before. Whoever takes over must get the most out of this squad and win over a fairly divided fan base. The right appointment could bring promise, but the real test will be the early fixtures and how the head coach settles into the role.

Maziar Kuhyar signs from Kiddy
Availability is important in recruitment. I wouldn’t say this is a bad signing, but I understand why some have doubts. He seems to be at the stage where this might be his last chance to make a real impact in the EFL. Being part of a strong setup and having the drive to test himself could help him reach his full potential. I wouldn’t be surprised if he ends up like Curtis Edwards before his return from injury.

Ollie Norburn signs for Notts.
It could be why the club is aiming for a stronger, more creative midfield with plenty of options. I see your point, but players need time to settle, and we can only hope he makes an impact while wearing our colours. His previous clubs might not have brought out the best in him, but that doesn’t mean we won’t.

Ollie Norburn signs for Notts.
It's great to see everyone chatting about Ollie Norburn’s signing! All the different views really show how we’re both excited and a bit cautious as fans. Sure, his past injuries are something to think about, but when he's fit, his stats are pretty solid. Moving up from League One to League Two, he brings some skill and leadership we could really use. It's true that we could use more midfielders who can score goals, but Ollie might just step up to that. How he clicks with the other midfielders will be key, and maybe we’ll see some new tactics pop up. On the bright side, every new signing is a bit of a risk, so keeping our expectations realistic while still being hopeful seems like the best approach. Can’t wait to see what happens next!

Announcement: Apology, PON annual awards, and Site news - 2nd June
I didn’t notice any downtime or issues, so I’m not sure if it affected me or not. It’s not the end of the world if the site goes down, but it’s always good to know why and what’s happening. As @liampie said, at least you know what it is.

Former #Notts player, Ian Baraclough, in hospital
It sounds like he got to the hospital just in time to avoid life-changing injuries. The article mentions he "required immediate surgery." It’s good that everyone acted quickly. He’s only 54, and hopefully, he’ll be back on his feet before too long.

pon and the new site
It looks good, definitely a step in the right direction. The site has evolved a lot over the years.

Italian League Club Brescia has Gone Bankrupt.
A solid Serie B team that had spells in the Italian top league and featured some excellent players. Gheorghe Hagi, for example. I hope a Phoenix club is formed.

Tobias Solberg : Odds-checker 1/2 to become Notts Head Coach
I don't think the club would bring in a coach who is difficult to hire unless their experience or talent is widely recognised. It doesn't seem very likely that Tobias Solberg is the candidate the Reedtz are most focused on. I could be wrong.

Uriah Rennie RIP
Rest in Peace, Uriah Rennie. He paved the way for others, that's for sure.
