  1. The Reedtz brothers have done an amazing job in turning the club around and leading us to promotion. Their praise for the team’s mental and physical fortitude is well-deserved.
  2. Credit goes to the photographer for the excellent photos and to the fans for posing. It’s not difficult to arrange them into a layout.
  3. It’s a great video by Notts. It captures all the emotions of what it was like to enter the National League and what it took to get out. I feel like it’s a sign of happier times to come.
  4. I can’t help but feel sorry for Ross Fitzsimons, but sometimes it seems like his gloves have holes in them.
  5. It truly emphasises the unique bond shared between Notts County and its fans. It’s wonderful to witness such a powerful connection between the team and its supporters.
  6. Reading will have to pay compensation for Luke Williams and if I were on the Notts board, I would set it quite high considering Williams’ achievements in such a short time. It could be the difference between back-to-back promotions or undoing all the progress that has been made. For the first time in many decades, I have faith in the club’s appointment process, but allowing Williams to leave while he’s still under contract could cause more harm than good.
  7. I enjoyed watching the footage of the homecoming. The fans and players created some great scenes. It’s a shame that the notice for it was so short, but something tells me that was intentional to limit the number of people who turned up. It’s not a negative - I think it was a good idea - but I wish I could have taken my family.
  8. Welcome to PON, @Bee. It’s a great site here and I’m sure you’ll enjoy it.
  9. When you see how disappointed a player is, like we did after John Bostock missed his penalty against Chesterfield, it’s hard to be critical. If it hadn’t been hit so high or hard, it would have been a superb goal and would easily have beaten Ross Fitzsimons.
  10. Welcome back, @Fan of Big Tone. It’s lovely to see you back on the site. Your absence has been noticed and you have been missed. Forget about what led you away and focus on the reasons that brought you back. It’s truly wonderful to have you here again.
  11. Every player on the pitch needs to bring their A-game for this match. Average or standard performances simply won’t suffice. All the players need to be at their very best and if they can dominate the game, that would be ideal. However, realistically speaking, achieving such a feat is going to be challenging. Personally, I believe that Notts County has what it takes to come out on top in this match. It would be particularly satisfying to see Macaulay Langstaff fire Notts to promotion with a stellar performance on the pitch.
  12. For me, it was the game of the season. Watching a team dominate in terms of goals and force errors was satisfying. Boreham Wood arrived fearless and, although they employed some underhanded tactics, it made the game all the more enjoyable when we scored those 3 goals that secured our victory.
  13. I’m fortunate to have witnessed success in the 70s and 80s, and even the 90s weren’t too bad as a Notts fan. I don’t mind friendly banter or jokes about a loss. However, I don’t appreciate those who are delusional or go out of their way to be unpleasant due to imagined rivalries.
  14. It was an unparalleled match, and Notts’ ability to bring it back to a draw was characteristic. I feared that penalties might be our downfall until Jodi Jones scored the winning goal.
  15. Luke Williams is spot on in his assessment that opportunities for Notts are at a premium, and this will be even more evident during the playoffs. However, I have faith that the team's quality will shine through and ultimately lead them to victory. I am eagerly anticipating the game. Come on Notts!
  16. Welcome NottsFan81! Is 81 the year you were born or just a lucky number?
  17. Welcome back @Canadian! It’s great to see an old familiar username. You’ll fit right back in from where you left off.
  18. The game is between two teams who have had heart-breaking experiences when dealing with the National League playoffs. For this reason, I believe the game will be tense until one side starts to dictate the tempo. Being at Meadow Lane, we as fans need to keep off the players' backs and just be a vocal support even if the game is difficult. Our part is to encourage, theirs is to react positively to the play and get the job done. With all the talk of Wembley, it's natural to get ahead and I understand the excitement it brings but the main factor is not to underestimate Boreham Wood on the day. League form always tends to go out of the window in games like this and the Notts players have to make sure they put in a good performance, end the match on a high and keep the faith going into that final outcome, whether it be the final or further heartbreak. This squad has a lot of quality and resilience.
  19. Welcome to PON @Kelly and the @Prodigal Red. May I ask what kind of a red you are?
  20. Welcome Xavier! I really like your username, it's very creative. @JohnTheBost.
  21. It's always difficult to choose just one member of the year when there are so many fans who put in a lot of effort and deserve praise. However, I voted for the person who I feel has gone that extra mile with their comments and posts. They truly stood out to me.
  22. I have renewed my season ticket. It took several hours of waiting on the phone, but I wouldn’t have missed the opportunity to renew it.
  23. To be honest, I found it amusing. It’s just a witty way of making light of things in general.
  24. I am happy to congratulate any team that earns more points than us, regardless of any rivalry. Congratulations to Wrexham for being promoted back to the Football League. I hope their Hollywood owners’ investment benefits the local area and encourages more children to play football. While I wish it could have been us, I cannot be bitter when another team achieves something as amazing as we have.
  25. Adam Chicksen has been a standout player for Notts this season. Despite a brief period where he appeared fatigued, he has been instrumental in their pursuit of the National League title. With his quick feet and ability to deliver a good cross, he is an entertaining player to watch. It’s great news that he’s been performing so well.
