Owning your own ground can also provide significant benefits. Take Coventry, for example, who sold their own ground and had to ground share before returning to their own stadium as renters alongside the rugby club. In my opinion, it makes little sense to suggest that not owning the land is better. This seems like the wrong point to make, especially in a discussion about the threat of ground sharing with our neighbours across the river. Personally, I would not want to rent land from Nottingham Council.

There is a lot of potential in the market, with many fans from overseas groups already purchasing shirts and showing them off. This is a prime area for Notts County to generate additional revenue while making these fans feel like a real part of the community.

This is a great video, and it’s hard not to root for Jim O’Brien to do well. The doubters from last season were proven wrong, as he has shown himself to be a valuable member of the squad. Notts County has improved significantly since he was last in League Two.

The squad appears to have been rigorously trained, with a high level of intensity and focus. These factors are likely to benefit the team, given the quality of the players and their potential to perform well in games. While the outcome of certain matches may be unpredictable, the team’s preparation can go a long way in ensuring success. It is important for the club to continue striving for improvement, and it seems that Luke Williams and his staff are actively pursuing this goal. By maintaining their focus and intensity, the squad can continue to develop and achieve success on the field.

It’s a great message to send out. I hope fans will understand if things don’t quite go to plan because what the club is building is special, and it doesn’t reflect on the work the club has put in if we fail to reach the playoffs. I think most will agree that we are just glad to be back within the Football League. Yet, the chance of back-to-back promotions would be incredible. I like the message and confidence of the skipper. Kyle Cameron is clearly optimistic about the season, and there’s nothing wrong with setting high standards at the start of a new season. However, we have to balance those dreams and expectations so that it doesn’t derail the season if things aren’t so rosy in terms of results. I personally believe we are good enough for the playoffs. I think the top 3 is doable but quite ambitious. I’m not saying we can’t; I’m just acknowledging the challenge.

I agree that all the pre-season friendlies gave the club and Luke Williams an insight. I think this is a very fair and detailed article, one that I wholeheartedly agree with. I believe the club will have decided the friendlies based on giving the players a real test. One thing I hope we do next season is play the two home games nearer the end. Obviously, this will be down to Stoke and Forest availability, but ending the pre-season away from home after having a solid test against two strong teams would lead to consistency going into the season, in my opinion.

I can appreciate that he hasn’t coached in League Two, but he must be aware of what other teams have and will have had reports of the clubs in League Two, along with doing his own research ahead of the season. Pre-season has given him some insights about how the squad can perform against various levels. I think we have a good squad on paper and I believe Luke Williams will see this. By 10 games, he will have more of an understanding, but it’s good that he isn’t getting carried away. He’s very smart with the way he speaks, as some fans will take on board what he says and therefore understand that expectations are different for everyone.

China’s ladies weren’t up to much, one of the poorest teams so far but a great win nonetheless. It will give our ladies the confidence to go forward.

I would have also welcomed Jayden Richardson back, I think he’s a very good player and it is a very good signing for Stockport County. He should have a decent season for them, which is unfortunate to see rival teams continuing to improve. Not that I am unhappy with our squad, I just think it makes things harder.

Darnell Fisher is a good player, quite skillful and would do well for us if he did sign.

It’s a good deal, iFollow. Regarding the audio subscription, I don’t think the club should charge for the match coverage as it’s already part of your TV licence and rebroadcasting it shouldn’t come at a cost to the fans. There’s no reason for a fan who can get to games to subscribe to any of the services, so overseas fans do have the luxury of getting games. I am not suggesting people in the UK should, I just think the packages for UK-based fans are quite poor in comparison.

I do think you want to confirm that the items have actually been dispatched, otherwise you could end up waiting longer and not even receive the shirts due to an error along the way. I hope they arrive safely tomorrow.

I think it’s a bit harsh to single out just Connell Rawlinson; we attack as a team and should defend as one too. I think the way we don’t cover is the bigger issue, but it’s a friendly. I don’t want to be harsh on Aidan Stone, but the Sam Slocombe haters might admit he probably would have saved it. It’s one of those shots that creeps in; we just need to protect the goal better as a group.

Yesterday, I wasn’t able to get to the Shrewsbury game. Train delays meant the timing wouldn’t work, so I had to miss it. Instead, I ended up walking around Manchester and sightseeing. Today, I have been watching the rain come and go, sitting near my favourite view of the barges floating by and listening to the radio.

Welcome to the Pride of Nottingham, @Steveyward. Enjoy!

Welcome to the Pride of Nottingham, @David Shipston. Enjoy!

Come next Saturday, it’s time to stand up and be accounted for. It will be a good opening game against Sutton, which I am feeling very optimistic about. It’s good to know the club is prepared, having seen how hard they have worked since last season and during the pre-season. It makes me feel all the more fired up for the season ahead. We are in a good position, and the only thing that will hold us back is if we worry about defensive relapses without working on them. I think we’ll be strong in control, so it’s just a case of creating chances and being tight at the back. I am curious if Sam Slocombe will start, as Aidan Stone did look decent, but I do think Luke Williams will choose Slocombe ahead of Stone just because of his experience.

David McGoldrick has been class since he returned. He’s shown that he’s here to help the team and to work his socks off. He puts every effort he can into games, and he’s reaping the rewards now. Not just from the praise of us fans and Luke Williams, but also by finding the net. He looks like a constant threat and fits in very well with the team. Pre-season is never straightforward, nor is the league, but we all know that once the squad settles into a routine and the season begins, it’s all about form more than performances. Those will improve with every game, as Williams can tinker with tactics and give further instructions to the players. It’s that advice which is invaluable to us moving forward.

Fair comments by Luke Williams. We sounded unlucky with the disallowed goals. I’m not saying it’s the wrong call; I mean that the chance was off. Hopefully, it’s a sign of quality nonetheless.

Yes, it’s a good article. It says a lot about Notts and does so in a fair way. I wouldn’t worry about the meta description; that’s just to add a bit of depth and encouragement to read it. It’s mostly added by the editor as suggested.

It’s a great opportunity to move to Liverpool’s academy and further learn. He will be excited about that, and the £800,000 does seem quite decent. A few years later, you would expect to see a higher fee perhaps, but just being around better players is a good thing.

Count me in. It’s about time I got back into the prediction league.

The interview was excellent. One day, Ian Burchnall will undoubtedly lead another team to success. Joining FGR was a bad decision at the wrong time. However, if he stays in his current role for a few more years, another team will likely show interest in him. I would rather not reflect on his time at Notts, simply because it’s irrelevant now. I do wish him well though; I just hope to never see him back at Notts.

As for work and here, the close season didn’t seem long because of Wembley. It’s a good thing because it keeps that promotion feeling alive. It also helped Notts because we went straight into recruiting and so far, it’s been spot on yet again. We are making a lot more positive signings, players of quality that fit in and are of the age to improve further, plus the experience of David McGoldrick.
