Goal Line Technology.
@Wheelbarrow repair man that could be the stumbling point. a quick google search and i found this, i am amazed that is this much per stadium. obviously this might not apply so much to this discussion, but the cost of £250k for hawk eye cameras might prove to be a stumbling point. could it be cheaper? possibly but i dont know if there are rules about who can and cant install the system. what standard of equipment is used. personally i think it should start with league two if this were to happen. the efl could use sponsorship money or some of the league right fees to fund it. in addition to clubs paying a certain amount towards it.

Pancake day
i am not the biggest fan of pancakes either, i dont make them myself even though i could. i prefer to eat healthier things, when i was younger i would have them with sugar but i dont think its something that i enjoyed as much as i would with other food. its a traditional thing which i understand, but i would rather make a cup cake.

Crawley Town losses circa £4m
why is the accrington chairman getting involved with other clubs when its non of his business? hes the first to complain about others outside of stanley making comments on them. hes becoming quite an annoying figure, yes sometimes he makes sense but the days where he was interesting and insightful have long lived out their days with him being on social media. 4m is not a lot for a club at this level, maybe crawley will recoup some of their losses eventually?

EFL team of the week
when we start to see more notts players in the team of the week, it will show only positive signs. i am very pleased for jodi jones, as he does deserve to be in it.

Where are they now : Fabien Brandy
good player, i remember him ripping was it walsall a part whilst he was here? his career seems never to have lived up to his potential which is sad.

Spring signs
some days its quite nice in spells but the sun never lasts for long, it either starts to rain or becomes gloomy. i think before we see many nicer days, we will just be hit with heat waves. its been a harsh winter, very cold and i am just hoping it warms up.

Where are they now : Aidan Davidson
no wonder i have never heard of him, was he signed as cover? one a appearance is not a lot of games to play.

Deadpool and Notts County
i love this, a single magpie which looks similar to ours on a ball. it must be a nod to use from @Dry Nelson Ray.

Wildlife photographer of the year

Freeports / Teesworks ....another scandal
we have free ports? it does not seem to make much sense. surely its better to have a fair import tax rather than free ones. i might be missing all the information but it sounds like something which needs to be stopped.

Barcelona v Notts County
i remember when pon first started in the early 2010s. it was one of those historic parts of our history that made me happy to know about.
-
Alassana Jatta's visa application approved.
i really hope the hype does not draw negativity if he does not start well, its reminding me of when we signed danny haynes and izale mcleod. i am sure he will do just fine but there is so much hype and i am not sure its always a good thing.

33 years ago today
i remember when we drew to them 1-1, then they demolished us at thier ground in the fa cup. man city was not a big team in the 90s, but its still interesting to learn about.

Stuart Maynard Reflects on Notts County’s Performance and Looks Ahead to Crewe Clash
i like that stuart maynard is not underestimating crewe, but even if they do mix their playing style within the game it shows how important our own game management can be. if we cant adapt well, we will lose the ground that we have created and most of it is all about pressure and creating chances. we have a very good squad, even if our budget is not in the top 10 of league two. we have to be smart when making decisions in game. im very much looking forward to seeing notts on saturday at meadow lane.

Loan Players Good Or Bad Idea?
well you would want players like mentioned in this discussion, over loans which never seemed to be given the chance i.e ollie tipton. we have no idea if he could have been a useful signing but because he did not play much and with luke williams never seeming to give him a chance it makes it rather a pointless signing. i think loans should only be explored in areas where signing a permanent player might not give us further strength in that position. i would rather see a good loan signing be made, than for the club to sign someone who clearly sits on the bench or out of the match day squad completely.

Notts County History Watch.
i love this @Robbie, i always keep an eye out for pon's otd and other historical things. we have a popular facebook group where i used to post about former players connected with important dates or upcoming games. it was nice to learn about the history of the club.

Match Discussion: Game 35 - The Railwaymen (H)
i am looking forward to the game, crewe will be a different situation to the last few home games and if notts keeps the right momentum i believe the result will go our way. if we see signs early on that macaulay langstaff is involved, then we should be able to make something positive from the game. dan crowley and jodi jones creatively should be our threat. i think sam austin would be a good call to be given a start, but i dont see anyone making the way for him. personally, i would put david mcgoldrick on the bench to rest him a little.

Goal Line Technology.
i think any level which is considered professional should have goal line technology, the lower leagues being league two and up should not be overlooked. it would be beneficial for those times when the ball is unknown if it had crossed the line. it might not happen often but it is justified to make sure the right outcome is played out.

sit or stand? away games ????????♂️
some of the comments from fans is quite embarrassing, i have been to every away game this season and countless times i have had my view blocked. not everyone can stand for 90 minutes, i can but choose to sit because i dont want to block other fans views. i do this out of respect, which some fans seem to forget that our fanbase needs to get along with each other. yet there are some calling those who sit, which is just silly. those who want to stand just go to the back of the stands, allow the front to see. notts fans cant help but being embarrassing at times.

Tiernan Brooks watch
i am inclined to agree, @Piethagoram as been calling for it and i think it does make a lot of sense now. he might also improve the defence which is something mentioned also. hopefully he continues to do well at rochdale and we dont get blind sighted. my concern is that if he does well, they or another club may want to sign him. the temptation of playing first team football must be strong and we should start giving him a chance once he comes back from his loan.

Film Recommendation on BBC i Player : Mr Jones
the leading actor is the nutter from happy valley? i will give this a watch when i have the time to commit. if anyone thinks about googling the film title, don't just go here https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episodes/m001k3tw/mr-jones there are so many other similar named films. from the description it sounds very interesting.

Where have they gone? Missing PON members we need back!
im thankful for the members of pon who give me something to look forward to, i feel i have made friends and its given me somewhere i feel able to communicate. i know people will come and go, but the majority of posters are people who make me feel like i do about the site. when someone drops off or loses their way, some might not notice but i do. everyone is probably busy right now but i hope that no matter what religion, politics, race etc we can continue to make the site fun. i would hate to see anyone active leave.

Academy / youth games
i dont like how notts has branched into separate social media accounts, at the cost of the main account sharing the news themselves. i get its important that they do have their own social following but the clubs main account reaches far more people and its very first team focused. i have thought about going to youth team games, but i find it difficult to commit with working hours. i have noticed that notts play closed door games against bigger teams academies, which makes sense. many thanks to @Robbie.
