  1. the standard and expectations further down the leagues are not very good, forgetting your kit should result in points docked. its that tin pot.
  2. pukka pies are the only thing i would buy if i was hungry and at a push, i was not aware that notts had stopped selling them. do you have any ideas why? @Piethagoram i thought the pies were pukka ones, but i suppose we could have generic ones now. i cant say i have noticed because like others i eat before or at a restaurant. rather than any of the vans or club offerings.
  3. at the moment its a one horse race, but i think it might start to sway once more members come across this topic and cast their vote.
  4. welcome to the pon site and community @Medz59.
  5. i work long hours to be able to fuel my car, pay my utility bills and food. then have to repeat to make sure i can save money, instead of spending it all. the uk is very poor with helping and making living conditions better. i know there is worst issues that exist, but we are supposed to be one of the best countries. its an unfair increase. i am already agreed to a tariff which is okay for me but the cost of living is too high.
  6. i have been at work, finished at 5pm. come on to check what i have not commented on. also thought to reinvite @jurgenpie and @Tony Wood. both have shared good comments i have seen on facebook and wanted to encourage them to give pon another try. my week days are very much a rerun of the day before.
  7. in some sense what he did for notts was heroic because he forfeit every promised to him upon leaving, his wages and even tried to find the club a new owner. its something we can feel in debt to sven for. reading comments from fans who had the pleasure of meeting him, he seems very down to earth despite his fame. very saddening news of his passing.
  8. very sad news, rest in peace sven.
  9. such a great read this, @Chris. i know a lot came out during our national league season, but tom keetley needs to be in the notts hall of fame which seems a second thoughts these days. he truly impacted notts and I'm pleased that he has a headstone on his final resting place. without that, it would be very upsetting. his memory lives on with us.
  10. it looks to be a good signing, i think from what i have read he does sound very promising. a bit miffed at the off the line blogs tweet. i know two charlton fans who said that he is a talented defender. reading charlton fans online, i dont think he would fall under straightforward. it comes across as a safe way to give praise. we have been signing players based on their season stats, potential and ability. i get the joke about torquay but its an easy thing to point out. we have not signed that many in truth.
  11. good luck to the womens team, i hope they manage to get another win.
  12. i dont see the club selling either, i think the board are wise enough to know losing two key players is more than enough. selling jodi jones or dan crowley would be a major headache. even if we did sign someone to replace them both or just one, we would still need to give them time to settle in. crowley at this stage is and jodi has been with us during our national league promotion. i think both will stay for now, as i dont see it making sense to jump to a different club. mk dons are signing players for fun it seems, they need to settle down because they have had a poor start.
  13. i think he was injury prone at birmingham city, but he is another player notts paid a fee for that ended up being a waste. i dont mean because of injury. his first season he did not do much for us and although i liked him. he was consistent, i wonder if it was due to issues with his knees?
  14. ea sports have been doing a special kit as a means to get extra money from their fans, I think its sad. i think its just that a lot of clubs see fans as cash cows and its wrong.
  15. i try to say hello to everyone because i think a friendly approach is important, but even in notts people act like its a crime to be polite. i used to help people pick things up, but twice i were attacked for doing it and other times i was rudely spoken to. i dont know why people have to be unpleasant or act like it. its a funny video, i wished there was a way to show it to some of the ignorant people i bumped into.
  16. why does it sound like the guy was a lot like alan hardy? a "fantasist", i remember when he made a big thing of the indoor training facilities where over a hard gym floor. he just paid someone to put down artificial grass and called it state of the art!! plus he said that he wanted to build a hotel behind the back of the kop.
  17. companies like football radar probably pick up people from within football, so its probably a thing that is quite common both ways. good luck to him.
  18. could you please post a summary @Piethagoram?
  19. in the clip of the fans, that is @Chris at the bottom right side. i like reading your thoughts on what fans and is posted on social media, i agree with what you say. its good to see more fans warming to stuart maynard. at times it has seemed personal, ever since the bbc did the piece about him giving up his bt technician job. some of those comments seemed unfair and it did take me away last season from wanting to discuss notts. i think the signs are there, we just need to have faith.
  20. i am pleased for stuart maynard because you can see the improvements made so far this season and with our strongest 11, we look so much better on the ball and in defending. i know there were groans and concerns after Shrewsbury but even that had positives to take away from the game. doing well against a league one team is positive especially fielding what would be considered not our strongest squad going 2-0 up. the game against grimsby, the squad worked so hard for each other, it was very pleasing.
  21. i have read stories that mentioned inappropriate texts, which could be anything but my first thought were along the lines of alan hardy. i hope its not the case. i dont know why you would bully or be mean to someone via text. it seems more likely serious than that.
  22. shows you cant take things like this all that serious when they cant be transparent themselves, it looks like the account might have deleted the post or account. thats not good if so.
  23. this is great, the notts foundation does a lot to help people. its one of the best parts of the clubs community schemes.
  24. i did not rate him, i thought tobi adebayo rowing was going to be exactly the same but i thought he improved after his first season. both could not defend, struggled with heading the ball and passing. strange how we looked for players with height that had limited ability on the ball.
  25. he can focus on his acting now.
