Fan of Big Tone

Thanks for taking the time to answer the questions I found it to be really interesting and learnt some things I didn't know.

Yes why not, always interesting to read others blogs.

This is a great feature @Notts-Joe I don't know where you find the time. Well done.

I reckon we can win this one, I am hoping the lads will be up for it. I'm going for 2-1 to Notts, we might need extra time though.

Big thanks to Ray Trew and of course our Joe for making this possible, some really good honest answers and very interesting to read. I don't think my grandson will be buying the club off him for £2 because he hasn't got £18m in his piggy bank to maintain it.

The Mill in Basford rings a bell, I reckon it was a Friday lunch watering hole when I worked on Stockhill Lane.

I enjoyed reading that, sounds like a good day out, I think I would have enjoyed that. Thanks for the article.

Lol.

Go on @liampie I'll read it with interest.

We all need to remain positive, the fans, the team, the management, the board everyone involved need to remain positive, if we as fans can get behind the team and show some passion it will be an incredible help, we can stay up and we will stay up. COME ON YOU PIES.

Good read @Super_Ram, I'm sorry I haven't read it so far, I tend to see these articles and think to myself I'll read it later when I've got time and then promptly forget. I'm looking forward to getting to 1894. :-)

I like this new feature it's interesting to read about the officials. It's also interesting to read that the ref has given an average of more than 4 yellow cards a game. I'm not sure he ought to let his twitter account known though, can you imagine the abuse if he has a bad game.

Thanks MickeyPNE, good luck with your promotion push.

Well done Jake another excellent blog, I'd love to have a go at that drum, do you think your Dad could fix it for me? Mind you it would probably give me a headache :-) It'd be great to get into the scoreboard and change the score, you could have made it 6-5 to Notts. Lol. Keep up the good work and keep coming to the matches we need the young fans onboard.

This doesn't make pleasant reading, it seems we are back to square one, I felt that Walsall could easily have got into double figures and I said it at the time and I'll say it again, why did we let Westcarr go? He was at his brilliant best against us.

This is a really interesting blog, I enjoyed reading it thanks Super Pie, tell your friend Louie he doesn't know what he's missing. I hope when my grandson George is older he will be as clever as you.

Fascinating read @Super_Ram, it's brilliant that Steve is still remembered and is a legend to this day, it just goes to show what an impact he made back then. What Notts wouldn't give for a goal scorer with his record playing for us now. Also interested to hear how the Baseball ground got its name, I've often wondered. Thanks for taking the time to write this.

Is lamby Super Ram's offspring? Ho Ho.

Another day, another defeat, things are looking bleak for the 'pies, what's Billy Dearden doing these days?

Some great action shots there thankyou Oskar for sharing them with us.

Thanks for the report Joe, we were desperately unlucky to come away with no points, the players really worked hard and should have been rewarded with a point at least. However as our chairman says "onward and upward", there are plenty of positives to be taken into the next game against Shrewsbury.

These are worrying times, the next week or so will see a major decision being made by the Notts board about who the next manager will be, it will decide the future of our great club, everyone should be worried, there are a lot of long standing fans who are now saying they are close to throwing in the towel. For all our sakes and for the sake of this great club we love Mr. Trew and the board MUST make the right decision. Irrespective I will still support the club I love and have supported for the last 50 odd years but then again I am a glutton for punishment and I have been here and worse before, there is nothing new under the sun.

I don't know why I have missed this blog but I've read it now and yes you are right it is controversial and it will upset some fans......me for one but we don't have to all agree all the time. I think a lot of things that you have mentioned in this blog are starting to come right since you wrote it, the manager seems to have got the team playing his way and it is working, they are playing attractive football and winning, if this carries on the problem of bums on seats will be resolved as people will come and see a winning team. I have had doubts about the manager in the past and have voiced them on this forum but fair does to Mr. Trew he stuck with his man (for once) and (fingers crossed) it seems to be paying off. I'm not sure what you mean with your comments about living in the past, I thought that was "them over the river's speciality", in what way are we living in the past, is it the reference to being the oldest football league club? I personally think we should make the most of this as we can, the same with our links with Juventus, we can't forget our past and if it gets us noticed across the world then surely this is a good thing, not something to shrink from. Colin Slater comes in for some horrendous stick from some of our fans and a lot of people are much more outspoken than you are Scottpie, some of the bile that spouts forth (not on this forum but elsewhere) sickens me because the people saying these things aren't and never will be as intelligent and eloquent as Colin, I agree with Notts Joe it will be a sad day when he retires and for me listening to the away matches will never be the same again, it seems I have been listening to him half my life, if he comes on the radio Mrs. H daren't speak because I have to catch every word. He is an institution and I hope he goes on for ever. As I say I respect your view but I'm afraid I just don't agree with it.
