Lessons Learned
i hope we can see that some times slow seasons build and the win at wembley has been one of the proudest moments as a notts fan. to hear some talk notts were going to get relegated and i think martin paterson won people over through hard work. there are some who dont seem to like when notts are doing well, i find it hard to believe they are notts fans. the battle was really against us at times with form and injuries, but we crossed the line. i would rather notts builds for life as an established leag

Matt Baker - now official
he looks a good addition, i like that we are signing reputable players from teams that have voted or given them senior roles in their teams because they should have the right character we need. my dad actually joked about us signing him, but referred to him as being a blue peter presenter.

New signing Darius Lipsiuc
if we play him and dont expect unrealistic expectations, i think he should grow in the role and prove to be a good signing. he seems level headed, he looks to have the ability but settling down is important. he needs to make notts his home, and we need to support him. i think its great that we have the depth in midfield. we will need it in league one.

Pre season tour to Denmark
i hope next season we lineup more local friendlies, and drop the overseas games to once every two years. i thought about trying to book time off from work to watch them, but decided against it.

RIP Gary Sobers
i am not that much into cricket but i know his name, and remember hearing it. its a shame to learn that he has passed on. i send my condolences to his family.

New home kit
its okay, i can understand that the club is trying to do something different. i dont dislike or love it, i think the kit is pretty average. i dont like the training wear, it looks awful and low quality. puma seem to be focusing on more on the weird designs than the quality that they had previously.

Weekly chat Monday 22nd June to Sunday 28 June
not much to say, work is going well but its not enjoyable with the heatwave. it is nice to walk when the wind is there, but you have to keep out of the direct sun and in shade. why cant we just get warm days that are not extreme and rain that does not feel like you are in singing in the rain. its never in the middle.

Where are they now : Steve Mildenhall
i remember him, i thought he was a coach for mansfield but its good to see him still coaching.

Heatwave
its proving to be costly, as i am washing clothes every day and having a shower before and after work. i come back soaking because its just trapped heat. its one of the worst heatwaves for the humidity, it just makes me feel dizzy.

Announcement: Goodbye, and Hello - 26th June 2026
the new homepage looks brilliant, its to the point and showcases what we are about. pon is a great site and deserve more interactions from fans, i hope people start to see just how great it is and what goes into it by a single person. good job, gaffer.

David McGoldrick to Mansfield Town.
i dont think there is much value in didzys wages, he does not score the goals by himself and its a team game. i am not saying he is not worth what he asks for, that is his decision but i do not see the value for a player of his age. his goal tally is more from dropping down a level and being an exceptional player at l1 and l2 level. i would rather pay an upcoming striker that has resale value, than a player who could retire at any stage. i am not saying he is not a good player, i just dont think the money reflects good business.

Carabao Cup draw : Burnley away
good draw, i think it could be a good chance to showcase that we can play against teams a level up. we just need to prepare and be organised.

The future for Notts
i would fear growing too quick, too soon could see us end up like blackpool, luton town, portsmouth and many other teams who had to focus less on sustinability. i would rather notts do it right, grow a reputation and sell on assets, make a real structure in place place that would more than likely see us establish ourselves properly upon each step. i am happy to see us grow for the better in league one, but i would not risk this for instance promotion to the championship.

The Summer Transfer Business: Who stays, who goes, and who comes in?
i would avoid selling players to maximise the budget, i dont think jodi jones would have much value in a transfer due to his age and injury issues. i think we only need to fix what we lose and add on to strengthen areas. another keeper, if kelle roos can be moved on. a centre back who is not injury prone and good enough for the first team, a winger, striker and the rest could be players that are looking to establish themselves . the trtained list may change my thoughts tho.

Attendance 16, 274
its hell when we are over 12k and it does become uncomfortable the higher it gets. i love seeing meadow lane filled, but the ground was redesigned in the 90s and even then it was kept traditional. that is not a bad thing, there are loads of quirks and its what makes it a great stadium but everyone feels on top of each other when the kop is busy. toilets become far worse than they would be otherwise, you are lucky to be served at half time so you have to leave early to just get a drink without queuing for ages. even the use of cards only has not sped things up all that much. some people said the navi made a mistake by creating its fan venue, but the nest has showed that there is still the demand for fans to have somewhere to go before and after. this last saturday, there was huge amounts of fans just standing near the main gates, and lots walking around. again its a good thing, but if you dont time your entrance well, it is a swarm of hell.

Considering a Return to Community Raffles
maybe in time it could return but the cost does seem to outweigh the point at the beginning, no doubt to put people off but i am sure people will support you in other means. i need to make more donations regularly, i am not against subscribing but you know my feelings on wanting to be a regular member that helps out.

What’s everyone listening to?
i listen to the general radio more than certain artsists, the last song i played was sad, sad, sad by the rolling stones. before that, probably something of r e m. @StarkMallard reminds me of a better eurovision song.

Arsenal style
and people are calling arsenal for scoring set pieces and from corners, they are one of the best teams to watch on their day. i find some clubs like man city to be boring.
