@super_ram I didn’t go to the match but in the managers interview Notts were described as having 90% possession by the interviewer and the manager described Boston as being “defensively disciplined”, so I think we can draw our own conclusions.

On Tuesday 25th July Notts County travel the short distance up the A38 to play Alfreton Town in a pre season friendly. How many links between the clubs can we find, players, managers, coaches etc. Here’s one to start us off, Shaun Harrod started his career with Notts in 2002 and was a player with us until 2005, he later joined Alfreton in 2014 making 16 appearances scoring 7 goal, he returned to Notts in 2014 making 12 appearances and scored 2 goals. Over to you how many more can we find.

It should be a good match, if Williams puts out a strongish team we should run out easy winners (famous last words).

I think yesterday was a thought transfer from Mrs. T, she got it in two as well. Today it took 4 attempts. Wordle 761 4/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜????⬜⬜⬜ ⬜????????????⬜ ????????????????????

Another good friendly for Williams to test out various things, it sounds like we played well and could have scored more.

Wow, I excelled myself today. Wordle 760 2/6 ????????⬜???????? ????????????????????

Welcome to PoN @BeestonPie

Well done @super_ram, I forgot yesterday. Here’s todays. Wordle 759 5/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜????????⬜⬜ ⬜⬜???????????? ????⬜⬜???????? ????????????????????

I’m glad to hear there was no trouble between the fans that’s how it should be, banter and friendly rivalry yes but definitely we didn’t want any aggro. It’s good that both sets of fans can drink together in the pubs around Nottingham. I’m also pleased to hear Williams and Cooper get on well together that can only be good for Notts and the city, who knows one day we may be playing in the same league gain, I’d like to see that in my lifetime, hopefully in the upper divisions of the league.

This was always going to happen he is very talented and has been a commentary on some much more high profile games than Notts, he is also active on local television. I will definitely miss the banter he had with Stall they obviously had a genuine friendship which came across on the radio. Good luck Charlie you will do well in whatever you move on to.

The word legend is often mentioned with regards to footballers but in my opinion Ian Richardson epitomises the word legend, he’s was a great servant to the club including during some of our darkest times, like @NottsLoyal say I can remember him collecting donations along with his wife outside supermarkets to try and keep Notts alive. I too would live to see him return to Notts in some capacity, he deserves all the accolades that come his way on here and elsewhere.

He seems to be a right character, the sort of person you can’t help but like, I bet he’s great to have in the dressing room. It sounds like he had a good performance against Forest from what I hearing, so I’m sure he’ll do well this season. I’m really looking forward to seeing him okay in league 2.

Thanks for the reports it sounds like Notts put up a good performance against a strong Forest squad. I listened to the two managers interviews afterwards and Luke Williams apologised for talking to a player (Cameron I think) from the touch line which caused him to lose concentration and gift the goal. Williams praised the Forest manager for chatting with him before the game and said it wasn’t often you could swap ideas with a Premiership manager and he hoped to get the two management teams together at some stage for a meeting. The Forest manager gave no praise whatsoever to Notts but mainly concentrated on talking about his team.

Thanks for the new blog @TheSkipper it’s a great insight into the build up for the new season the more I read the more excited I start to feel.

Wordle 754 4/6 ⬜????????⬜⬜ ⬜????⬜⬜???? ????????⬜???????? ???????????????????? Nearly got it in three.

As Notts County fans we can empathise with their fans, we’ve been there a few times during my 60 odd years being a supporter, I really hope they survive.

I guess it depends on how strong the team forest put out is but I think they’ll probably be too strong for us, it’ll be a good test for Notts though. I don’t really mind what the result is but I wouldn’t like us to lose by too many, I’ll go for 1-3 with a McGoldrick goal for Notts. I just hope both sets of fans behave themselves.

@Ohh Tommy Johnson So what you’re saying is you and @super_ram are lucky because you got two whereas I’m skilful because I got three. Yeah, I’ll go with that thanks.
