This is a really interesting one. Notts County v Bradford City at Meadow Lane tomorrow has the makings of a very close game. My gut feeling is Notts can win it, but I wouldn't expect an easy afternoon. Bradford are the sort of side who can make it physical and frustrate us. My prediction: same as you @Robbie Notts County 2–1 Bradford City. And knowing County, I wouldn't be surprised if they make us sweat right to the final whistle! 😄 COYP

Morning everyone and especially you @Fan of Big Tone my thoughts and prayers are with you today and it hope everything goes as well as it can. Today is the 25th anniversary of 9/11 where the twin towers in New York were destroyed and nearly 3000 people lost their lives. 343 members of the New York City Fire Department (FDNY) died on 11 September 2001 while responding to the World Trade Center attacks. One small distinction is worth making: the 343 figure is FDNY members, and the detailed breakdown recorded at the time was 341 firefighters and 2 FDNY paramedics. There were also 71 police officers and 8 private EMS personnel/paramedics among those killed at the World Trade Center. Sadly, the death toll for firefighters and other responders continued to rise in the years afterwards because of cancers and other illnesses linked to exposure at Ground Zero. The FDNY now reports that more than 400 members have subsequently died from World Trade Center-related illnesses. My thoughts and prayers are with all the families and friends on this sad day of commemoration. 🙏

Thank you both @Chris and @Fan of Big Tone from Chace for his birthday wishes. Had a great break @Fan of Big Tone thanks, I would definitely recommend it, especially if you haven't yet tried Glamping. Personally my favourite time would be during the summer, with long sunny days to do with as you please. Another idea would be to use it as a base for exploring our beautiful countryside and the history of that area, if you're in to that sort of thing. I am hoping that due to Chase pursuing his goal to be as good a Motorcross rider as possible (New bike for his birthday) and the group being very grounded, all will be good, One can only hope 😀

Thank you @Chris i will give Chace your Felicitations in the morning. Please make sure that you look after yourself @Chris your health is what gives you the opportunities to live the life that you and you only deserve ✨️ 👍

Up and off back home us weary traveller's, sad day but all good things must come to an end sometimes. Plenty of memories made and an adventure that will be repeated in the future. Roads not too busy and a crafty breakfast taken at Blyth services on the way back, mmm very nice. Home and all unpacked, time for a cup of tea and feet up for 10. Big day tomorrow as it is our grandson Chaces birthday 🎂 oh to be 11 again, i wish 🤔 the bonus being a nice meal out in the evening 😊 happy days.

Morning from Glamping land, where the weather is a little overcast but warm. Glad to hear that you had a nice biriani @Fan of Big Tone not so sure about the suggestion from Fred about the Norwegian Fjords, a little cool for my liking. Still everyone to their own. Day 2 of our Glamping adventures has brought us to Pocklington and it seems a lovely little town. We now head for a seaside town well visited as a child and while growing up. Apparently Queen Victoria visited here, and it looks from the Church clock, time has stood still. Ready to fire says the seagull as the Pirate Ship approaches. 🤠☠️

Nice one @Fan of Big Tone and after another superb performance who wouldn't. We have arrived safely to our home for the next couple of nights. See below:- A desirable residence, the dogs love it. More tomorrow when we have had the first night, off to the pub now for tea. 🤠

Another impressive performance by Ness, he commanded every defensive area and even had a go at wingback. What a fantastic effort and well worthy of MOM, I think he's improving every match and carrying on where he left off last season. Darius Lipsiuc also shone especially in the second half, his ability to know where and which way the attacker was going seemed telepathic, great game.

Thank you @Fan of Big Tone I'm sure we will. I suppose we could be classed as cheating as we are in a pod, with double bed, toilet and cooking facilities. Even has heating, so I bet we will have a mini heatwave from Sunday. 🌞 Put me on your food delivery round for some of Mrs T's chicken biriani please 🙏 you can't beat a good biriani.🥘🍲 about 19:00 will do. 🤠👍

Funny that @Robbie I've just had my bloods and blood pressure done due to similar. They found a lack of Potassium so plenty of bananas and jacket spuds, with a return appointment for Tuesday. Hope everything goes well for you. Don't do Dentists any more, and haven't done for over 10 years. Not missed them for sure. Im glued to the Snooker on channel 5 at the moment The British Open quarter finals, also free to view, which makes a change nowadays.

Good morning one and all, well @Fan of Big Tone unfortunately rain in the midshires has stopped play, so no lawn mowing for me today 😢 As i speak the sun has just peeped from behind the clouds 🫣 still won't be dry enough today 😀 @Robbie I'm sure yesterday was the start of winter, so cold 🥶 and today totally different t shirt and shorts weather, and it's supposed to be getting warmer, no complaints here though. Apparently bees are flourishing, so something must be keeping them away? Getting things together today in preparation for a spell of Glamping up in Yorkshire, Sunday to Tuesday. Taking the dogs 🐕🐕 and a friend is feeding the horses 🐎 🐴 happy days. Just need a win at Huddersfield tomorrow and all will be fine. Have a great weekend everyone 🤠

Good morning from the sunny midshires. @Robbie @Fan of Big Tone I'm sure the week shortens or seems to after a Tuesday night game. Where does time dissappear to anyway without a midweek game?? 🤔 Well they have started clearing the land and putting up the Harris fencing, apparently ready for thr groundworks team to start tomorrow, Friday. Can't wait to enjoy the thrill of listening to big machinery, lorries taking crap away and delivering building materials to site. 🥴👎 On a happier note, the sun is out and all around is drying out once again. That reminds me, I must cut the lawn 🤠 have a good prosperous day everyone.

For me there were two outstanding performances last night. James Belshaw made two really important interventions, particularly the fingertip save from Alfie May and then the excellent clawed save to keep May’s header out. Without those, County could easily have come away with nothing. Ollie Cooper did it for me though, his tenacity and skill with a never say die attitude, on top of a great finish, earning a well deserved point, what more could a Notts fan want 😃 Ness also had a solid performance 👏

If Martin chooses the same 11 that started the 2nd half on Saturday, I'm sure positive things will happen. I’m quite optimistic about this one. Doncaster haven’t won in the league yet — two draws and a defeat — whereas Notts have started unbeaten with five points from three. Notts also come into it after the 2–1 win over Burton. The interesting thing is that Doncaster are favourites, mainly because they’re at home, but I’m not convinced by that. Their home form has been pretty cautious, and they’ve struggled to score consistently. For us, I think the key is not getting dragged into an open game and physical battle. If they can stay compact and then use Smyth's pace and movement, I think Doncaster could have problems. COYP.

Up this morning to very loud noises of machines preparing the ground at the side of us for building new houses, 133 of them to be precise. After trying to fight the proposed planning permission and failing, we are besides ourselves with the worry of noise, dust, over parking and non stop removal of debris and delivery of materials. Such is life i suppose, and yes I know we are supposed to embrace and welcome change 😝 @Chris once again nice to hear that family plays a big part of your everyday life and thinking. Nice one my friend. I have never bothered with social media @liampie as you say too much of everyone wanting to influence and unsettle your life to live in line with theirs. WhatsApp and texting serves me fine, without all the dramas. 😇 Have a great day everyone. 🤠

@Project Pie please feel free to enjoy, interact and do your thing on here. Welcome to the pleasuredome. 🤠

Now then @Sid James welcome to the fantastic PON. I hope you enjoy the camaraderie and take part with a smile always on your face 😊 Buses permitting.

@Robbie well added, I totally agree. A fantastic debut from the boy. Some more good business done by the club.

Daniel Kanu. Why I think he could be valuable to Notts He is a natural goalscorer. That's probably the biggest attraction. Notts needed somebody who can turn chances into goals rather than simply contribute to the build-up. He gives us pace in behind. Richard Montague specifically highlighted his ability to run beyond defenders, using his pace and power. He should suit Paterson's pressing game. He's described as hard-working and effective out of possession, which is important in the way Notts want to play. He offers something different to Luka Smyth. I think this is particularly interesting. Smyth can give Notts a physical focal point, while Kanu can stretch a defence and attack the space behind it. He's only 21. So there is genuine potential for him to develop considerably during the season. And there's an interesting bit of context: Notts apparently had competition from other League One clubs to get him, so this isn't simply a case of Charlton looking for somewhere to park a young player. The obvious question is whether 15 League Two goals translates into goals in League One. That's the gamble. But I actually like this signing for Notts. We have been saying for a while that we needed a proper striker who can occupy centre-backs, run behind them and finish chances. Kanu appears to tick those boxes. If he can get 12–15 League One goals, I'd regard the loan as a major success. If he gets 15+, Notts may have uncovered a player whose value could become very significant. And knowing the preference for Smyth, I could see Smyth and Kanu complementing each other rather nicely rather than competing for exactly the same role. My early verdict: Potentially one of the most important pieces of Notts' recruitment this summer.

You been on the pop after Saturday's win @Fan of Big Tone it's sure is bank holiday Monday my friend, try again tomorrow and I hope you get sorted. Apparently @Robbie we are due our 6th mini heatwave very soon, so get yourself ready and you could be a lucky boy also @Fan of Big Tone short break sunshine 🌞 Managed to drive to Skegness and back yesterday and it was really worth it, the show was fantastic 👌 Arrived home at midnight, but the journey was well worth it. Just raised my carcass at about 13:30 and all is well. Great Night.

Good day one and all, and off course @Fan of Big Tone hope you enjoyed the Welsh cakes with MrsT? Been and sorted the horses, then a quick brekky in Macdonalds, can't beat their Cappuccino plus a sausage and egg Mcmuffin. Then off to pick up horse feed for the boys, deliver back to the stables, then home to clean up before a shave, shower and applied foo foo, so one smells nice, finally setting off to Skegness for a night of Northern Soul, and to cap it all off a drive home once the show has finished. 🕺💃 🥳😵‍💫

I thought Finneran had a good game, he looks the business and a good asset for the season. Nick Tsaroulla had another good performance when used, I don't think we use our right flank enough and cannot understand why our bias is towards the left? My man of the match goes to Mustapha, both through the first half struggle we had, he battled and fought for every ball, using his size, strength and speed to win balls that he shouldn't have. Second half pairing up with Smyth to form a cracking partnership helping keep pressure on their defence for long periods of time. A great contribution from an improving player.
