good interview, i like what martin paterson said. there are two things to take from it from my perspective. the more we mention promotion, the higher the expectations will be and that could come at the cost of pressure. at the same time, knowing that paterson has that winning mentality it could be the formula we need to get the most out of the players. i guess it will depend on how we handle set backs, and if the players take on board the driving words that mp expects from his squad.

i do think its bad that so many teams are having these types of problems and it shows more needed to be done earlier, hopefully with the independent regulator and other means it will help but until those are in place. some teams will struggle, i do think we need to make sure clubs are safely owned by overseas investors and that smaller clubs have better ways of dealing with their finances even at non league level.

i think notts will finish 7th. we had everything in place within our first season back in league two, the promotion, fans atmosphere and togetherness quickly lost. i think this season we have more pressure because of the 'promotion' target, and i do think we are capable of doing better than what i am predicting. i do think that its going to be tough, but i do think martin paterson will win fans over regardless of where we finish. gillingham might be in the autos, along with salford and mk dons. i think the leagues first place will be between them. chesterfield and grimsby look good enough for the playoffs. both bromley and barnet i think will struggle. i know people are expecting accrington and newport, but i think they will be fine.

some idiot at work set of the fire alarm and it was not deactivated in time, so spray came flushing out in areas and that has meant it needs to be cleaned up. as a result, most of the staff have been asked to go home myself included because it means a deep cleaning is required and that stops us from handling the pallets which need to be sent out. things like this can delay everything for 2-3 days, its why we have scheduled maintenance and cleaning times. if its captured on cctv that person is going to be fired for sure. 🤷‍♂️ @Fan of Big Tone, my house has wooden floors which i like. it does take some care to make sure the wood is good but its well worth it. i have been thinking about getting a carpet in my bedroom, as it does get cold and i am think a nice carpet would be good. are you getting fancy underlay? some of the more premium stuff does keep the carpet nicely spongy. at my mums she has a nice thick carpet and that tringled type underlay which softens the feeling between the floor boards.

it does make me wonder why we extended the renewals for a second year running, and still managed to reach over 6k. i guess it could be the cost of living, but either way 6k is great to see. meadow lane should easily reach 10k on saturday home game and should be quite high midweek. i hope this starts to pay off with the coffers and sustainability the club is seeking.

i dont think anyone will live forever, unless self healing is something that happens to the evolution and even then it seems unlikely. it reminds me of the film where robin williams plays a robot that lives beyond his master, and marries into the family in the future as he chases being more human like.

its nonsense to complain about it because it just brings awareness to the issue and clubs and players will still want more money. its the way football is, i do agree it will come back as an excuse.

Bradford City 1-1 Wycombe Wanderers Doncaster Rovers 0-1 Exeter City Lincoln City 0-2 Reading Plymouth Argyle 1-3 Barnsley jkr Barnet 2-1 Fleetwood Town Cambridge United 0-0 Cheltenham Town Grimsby Town 2-1 Crawley Town Walsall 3-1 Swindon Town

its going to be interesting to see how martin paterson lines up his first team and how they will adjust from pre season into competitive games. i hope we are defensively solid and avoid making any errors from backward passing. it would be good to see us having a more direct attacking presences.

i wished we listed the players in their positions such as centre backs, wingers, centre midfield, attacking midfield and forward. yes players can play anywhere but it gives us a better idea where they are seen as being best played. it also looks nicer.

whatever you do @Alex make sure that its what you want and prepare for some setbacks potentially. if you will be relying on public transport, this is a must but i am sure you will have a good time.

i understand the concern but i cant say i ever felt concerned enough to think something serious was going off or wrong at the club. the media team can do a lot to keep us informed but if they dont have much to put out, why stress? yes, they could put things out during the quieter weeks but i am sure they had plenty of things to do. i am not concerned about the signings, i think the club has earned faith in this department. signing free players and those who are on loan, just seems sensible business. i think once the season is firmly underway, i hope we can look back and laugh this off.

his distribution looked questionable at times, and he does that european thing where keepers walk up the field too far. a certain keeper that got us relegated used to wonder into no mans land and it does make me nervous. but he did also give me the feeling he would be perfectly fine and once settled into the squad, i think he should flourish. i wanted to see cardiff test him more but they dont seem to have strikers. early signs are promising, he got a nice welcome when he came off.

i wonder why they dont try to bring back the football post, i know it would be somewhat unbearable with mansfield and forest being both above us. it would be interesting to see how it could help improve things for notts though. i would also be interested in learning more about local clubs like basfrod united, hucknall town etc.

northampton town will be relegated it will take a miracle and nolan is already trying to bring his friends into the club. he clearly has not learned his lessons.

stupid people causing more issues and problems that need not happen. its disappointing because i dont see the point in it. its a bad advert for football, even if they are not fans.

looked like a foul to me, with the pulling of the keepers shirt. silly own goal otherwise, but he probably thought he had more space.

its a waste of money for sure, why are people interested in watching people spend money that could be put to better use? half the stuff on wish.com is rubbish.

Jesus who?

their fans said we cheated when we gained promotion by throwing money at promotion, it seems its exactly the same as what they did but i wonder if they spent more chasing promotion. even now i see chesterfield fans who moan about clubs spending big amounts at this level chasing promotion, but its part of the norm. it just makes them seem silly.

every time i went to post to this i must have got distracted but not now. i enjoyed going to notts but i hated sitting in the pavis, its just soulless and no effort to get behind the lads early on was made. its strange, because some did try, so i am wrong about saying there was no effort i mean by the majority of fans. i also thought more would come, but the kop and js stands look smart with their safe standing areas. there is other subtle changes which is nice, but i really did not enjoy being in the pavis. i respect that there is fans who do, i am not hating on it but i really missed the feeling the kop creates. i did enjoy speaking to some new faces, and one of them said they were a member of pon but would not tell me their username. 🤣 so, if you are that member thank you for saying hello, it was nice to meet you. i am glad you find the site good, its nice to meet someone randomly who is involved.

not off the top of my head but i found the info about the vikings to be interesting. i have always been keen on norse mythology and these sayings go hand in hand with that. some i have heard, most i have not.

he should do well at plymouth, i did wonder if we would see him or archie mair back at meadow lane wearing a new notts top. good luck to him.

i can see why i dont see anything, there is nothing to the account. 🤣

i have both the home and away shirt, also got myself the training top which is lovely. i dont normally buy both shirts, but i am hoping that they prove to be good purchases especially if we have a good season.
