He participates in a lot of charity football, so I remember hearing him being interviewed where he spoke about Boston United. I wasn’t completely sure, but I felt fairly certain.

Welcome to the community here at PON, @Nay123.

Welcome to the site and community, you should enjoy PON @NewarkMagpie.

Yes, I have seen him doing that work too. He recently gave an interview in which he expressed his desire to do commentary for the World Cup or the FA Cup. I am not sure if he aspires to do more TV work, but the interview did mention that this is what he would be doing now that he has left BBC Radio Nottingham.

Lee Canoville? @Fan of Big Tone? I could google it but I would rather go off memory.

@Fan of Big Tone He's doing work for BBC Radio 5 Live now.

It is good man management to take players out of training and playing in a pre-season friendly. They will catch up, and it is more important to avoid serious or nagging injuries that persist. Luke Williams addressed these concerns while looking out for the players themselves, saying that we are preparing very nicely. There are still three games for players to catch up, and even with the start of the season looming, they will easily get up to speed.

I agree, it’s a good move. Considering that Tranmere and Notts are the two biggest teams he has actually played for, with the rest being typical League Two teams, it suggests to me that the drop isn’t that surprising. He has probably been offered more money by them than he would have been by clubs in the FL cutting back on their expenditure on wages. We are fortunate that we have had good revenue coming in, plus the promotion money.

A lot of Salford City fans are young, with many teenagers who would have supported other Greater Manchester teams. It’s a very easy game for me to get to, so I am not affected, and I will still be going. I believe that Notts fans might encounter obstacles in attending the game, as the number of tickets allocated to them could be limited, potentially falling short of the amount given to fans of other clubs. The Football League cannot possibly justify altering the game to a Friday solely because Manchester United is playing at home, although it is likely the true underlying motive. In Manchester, there is a large base of passionate supporters for City. Therefore, it is likely that people from nearby areas who come to Salford are United fans.

Welcome to the Pride of Nottingham, @BeestonPie. It's good to see you have joined us.

Charlie Slater decision to move away from Notts' commentary is truly heart-wrenching, but my best wishes go out to him.

He looked superb, very comfortable on the ball and aware. His decision-making seemed promising too, as he seemed to back that up with his ability. I hope he continues to play, so we can see if it’s worth offering him a deal or not. So far, I would say it is worth it.

Welcome to the Pride of Nottingham, @Kevin May. Have fun!

Welcome to the site, @Bryn Roberts. I hope you enjoy PON.

The nearest games for me will be Stockport County and Salford City. I can easily get to them from Manchester. They will be on the list for me to attend due to this reason. Bradford City and Tranmere Rovers are two grounds I want to visit, just to tick them off my list of grounds I have been to. It’s a good insight, much to chew on and consider in terms of other games I might go to. I would enjoy going to more games with @liampie and @CliftonMagpie, even catching up with @Chris, if we bump into each other.

Great news to see the youngsters sign up! Does the scholarship mean that Notts gets aid with paying their wages, or is this just the term for players who aren’t quite first-year pros? I find the changes in wording difficult to keep up with. It’s great news though!

It felt like the city was excited about the friendly. I noticed plenty of mixed fans watching as I passed bars in the city centre. I didn’t see any trouble, and the minute’s silence was respected by both clubs, which I am pleased wasn’t disturbed by anyone. The match itself showed us a lot about how we can adapt, and I think Luke Williams appreciated the time that Steve Cooper took to connect with him over things. While I still don’t like Forest, I can appreciate this and enjoy the banter with their more sensible fans.

It took a bit of getting used to Charlie after all the years we had with Uncle Colin. I thought Charlie continued that torch and connected well with the fans. It was nice to hear how he would speak about things ahead of games, mentioning things within the community. It broadened that connection, and with his bond with Mark Stallard, they have made it enjoyable to listen to the commentary, especially when looking back at their celebrations. GET IN! It won’t be the same without Charlie Slater.

I recall reading about a player named Arthur Mann on this very website. He is the only player I can think of, and if it were not for the alumni who shared their memories today, I might not have made the connection. It reminded me of where I had read about him

It is sad to hear about his situation. I cannot imagine what depression is like, but the fact that Spurs did not look after him and made it worse is disheartening. It is difficult to understand how anyone could behave in such a way. Footballers are often seen as commodities, and unless you are a very big name, you are unlikely to be the exception. I think less of Tottenham for their actions, but it is heartening to see that Harry Kane and Eric Dier stood behind him.

Marc Bola, I wish you the best of luck. I assume they are offering him much better wages than he is currently receiving, as well as a good chance of playing in cup competitions.

At first, I thought Kyle Cameron had simply given the ball away, but now it makes sense. It’s important to understand that it’s best to give instructions when out of play or relay them to a player who isn’t involved. Rather than when a player has the ball, credit to Williams for taking responsibility and offering protection to his captain. Cameron was decent enough, but I did feel he was prone to losing the ball or dropping down in front of it needlessly to win free kicks. This sometimes works, but when it doesn’t, we lose the ball in a dangerous area.

I rarely stream films and usually decide beforehand what to watch. Occasionally, I watch DVDs from my family's collection and enjoy revisiting them.

Good luck to Sochaux in their efforts to secure their future and move forward. It seems like a challenging task.
