The Alfreton Town game sounded like a good workout for all participants. I thought Martins after match interview was positive and straight to the point, giving praise where it was warranted and pulling no punches on our areas for improvement. I hope that whilst we are out in Germany this theme continues and our qualities, both attacking and defending with a pinch of match craft improve as needed. So much to look forward to for the new season looming.

Slowly but surely I can see a team being assembled to aim for the top. Everything seems to be taking on a more positive vibe and just like a jigsaw falling into place. The more attack minded we are, the less time we spend in our own half. Different playmakers are surely going to make us a better team and harder to play against. The number one target now has to be a good number one 👌. My late father would say a Lev Yashin type would fit the bill, who knows where the future will take us. Keep your faith in all the club are doing as their best should be our best. 🫡

Welcome on board @The Anti-Clough nice to be adding to the flock. 😎

Rewind and Renew Now Stuart's gone what are we to do, We have to pull together and get a new crew. Bye bye Didsey you deserved alot more, Before disappearing out the contract door. Alex goes a floundering off to 'Pompey' Good deal or bad, what would you say. In comes Martin our new Head Coach, A difficult job, how will he approach. Followed by Andy the new number two, Fresh from the England camp with plenty to do. New additions trickle into the squad, One a loanee, the rest not costing a Wad. In this division there's nowhere to hide, Play hard with quality to keep the pride. The season beckons and in August we start, Fans feelings ramping skyward, falling apart. Like Thespians of old on opening night, Remember your lines, don't give us a fright. "WE" are all one Team at the end of the day, Proud of Notts County, what more can we say.

PON is a place that opens its arms to all and when you need a little uplifting, want to share a few words, join a meaningful conversation and maybe a quiz or number game, this is the place to come. All you participants, without your subjects, replies and encouragement, where would we be. The wonderful people who selflessly give their time and make PON what it is, deserve our praise and thanks. Keep up the good work. COYP.

Stuart deserves to move on to another management role. He did right by us and always believed in the team. Wish you all the best for now and the future.

An absolute tragedy for the family, friends and all those who knew and loved him. Football itself has lost a class act. RIP both.

Guess where I have been this morning? THROUGH OUR EYES ONLY. Oh! What a lovely big open space, One where we can run round at a pace. Released, all at once freedom calls, The only boundaries are surrounding walls. Forwards and backwards, zig zag to and fro, Not knowing really where we want to go. Sniffing the crisp fresh morning air, Different scents appearing from we know not where. Cocking a leg, our scent to leave, Side to side and up and down we weave. We will only deposit on OUR choice of grass, The right shade, right length that's all we ask. All finished and happy now the time is right, Run like the wind with all your might. Chasing each other all over the place, Tumbling, rolling, in each others face. "Got you" tagged, now your it, Away i race with a hop and a skip. Once you're caught we'll do it again, My turn on now with no refrain. "Marty, Scooby" we hear our name, "Time to go home" what a shame. Grateful both of time spent with dad, Cos after all he's not a bad lad.

Thank you @Fan of Big Tone love life and live long my friend.

Lovely fresh breeze this morning, a little bit of rain helping keep the heat at bay. Looking out into the beautiful countryside and listening to nature as it marks the beginning of another cherished day in Nottinghamshire. A light breeze is meandering through the leaves sounding like they are whispering to one and all. How fortunate are we being able to witness this underestimated beauty each and every day. Gives the positive and helps us appreciate what we have. Be thoughtful, kind and considerate as unfortunately it doesn't last long.

With the pre season looming (4 days away) are we prepared? No replacement goalkeeper, and only a week back on the training ground. Let's see what happens over the next week or two 🤔 These men and boys who make up our squad do not and will not go out onto the pitch, whoever they play, to fail. Our support from this time on all the way to the end of the season is paramount as WE ARE THE 12th MAN. So let's all stay positive and get behind our beloved team COYP. ❤️

All the best for the future Alex I wish you well. Calamity once again at Meadow Lane. One day the top table will learn you cannot polish a turd !!!

Ditto 😉 Thought i was losing me marbles again.

Martin Paterson, will he be the saviour of the Pies or the creator of our demise??? Personally I think he deserves all loyal fans getting behind him 100%. Welcoming him and his team with Notts County's open arms. He has a difficult enough job to do without all of us on his and the teams back's. Let us judge by the long term not the short fuse.

I think last seasons Newcastle home shirt with the v neck is a class act, place John pye in the middle where SELA is, badge top left, jobs a good un.

Welcome @Sheffield Pie lock and load and grip the moment.

Hiya @Alanunderwood come on in and take a seat, buckle up and enjoy the ride.

There are many wonderous films out at the moment, the new Mission Impossible the final reckoning with the evergreen Tom Cruise. The new Jurassic Park one if you like dinosaurs. How to train your dragon if you have one? Salt Path, a true story of how a life can be lost and recovered. If you are into horror/Thriller 28 years later is for you. That's all from film 24/7 the MDPie franchise. 😎

Through all the aspersions, ifs, buts and maybes we must remember. What comes easy won't last, what lasts won't come easy.

I always loved playing against John in the then Notts Thursday League, you could only just get a *** paper under his feet when he jumped for the ball, hence I beat him every time (6' 7" v 6' and half an inch). Good luck in all you do big lad, it was a pleasure to play on the same pitch.

Patience is a virtue. Only time will tell. You can't reach for anything new if your hands are full of yesterday's clutter.

Absolutely agree. The closed season is such a gap, so I tried audiobooks, and what a gem, 'The Let Them Theory' by Mel Robbins, has filled time and given me a new purpose in life. I think all the staff, including players, should give it their ears. Reason, belief, motivation, what more could you want. Coupled up with British Superbikes, that's me for the summer months. COYP.

Defensively we have improved leaps and bounds. The team has belief throughout and that really makes for the intake of Stuarts game plans and football philosophy. They run and play for each other, which in turn works well in both attack and defensively. Also having a squad capable of covering each other breeds confidence and maintains healthy competition. Long may it last. COYP.

A warm welcome to @BeestonPie Hope you enjoy the site ????
