A big PoN welcome to @TT1970 it’s great to have you here on our friendly football community. Please take time to introduce yourself we’d love to  hear about you.

I noticed a new member in @Darryl Chapman, who I thought I would welcome. Hello, Darryl! It's good to be welcoming you to PON.

Hello, Max.

Welcome to the Pride of Nottingham, I apologise for the issues you have faced with registering. I have approved your account manually, I do hope you enjoy being a part of our Notts County community. I'm glad to be welcomeing you to it.  

Blackpool 0 V 1 Notts County League Division 2 October 1973.

Only goal of the match scored by Arthur Mann, remember him, featuring Don Masson, Kevin Randall & Eric Probert in the build up play.

Notts finished the 1973/74 season in 10th place with a record of:-

15 wins, 13 draws & 14 defeats 

I decided to subscribe to PoN after reading another forum which was full of annoying adverts, it made me really appreciate PoN, adverts are a useful source of income which helps with the running costs of websites and forums which for a site like this can be very expensive and for a forum/website to be ad free is very unusual and means funding must be found elsewhere.

So if (and only if) you can afford a few pounds a month to help @Chris and his team continue the excellent work on here then I urge you to click the link below and look at the options. Every member is of course valued whether you can afford to subscribe or not.

Looks like Chesterfield are on course to break all records in the National League. Of course, the competition is weaker this season, but even so, to break the points record, Win record and Goals Scored record would be great achievement for them.

I think it makes Notts' win at Wembley over Chesterfield even more better.

The weekend is here, let’s chat about what your plans are for this weekend.

Today I will be looking for a holiday for Mrs. T and myself, we have had the all clear from the hospital that she hasn’t got a serious heart problem needing surgery and it can be treated by medication so we’ve managed to get travel insurance (at a cost) so looking forward to jetting away to the sunshine soon.

Tomorrow we are heading to London to see the musical our son paid for us to go to for our Christmas present, we are all going so should be a fun day out.

Sunday will be a day of rest. Phew.

Birmingham 3 v Notts County 3.    Division 2, 3rd May 1980 featuring Gordon Mair, Trevor Christie & Brian Kilcline

Brian Kilcline's first goal for Notts.

Incidentally, the attendance was over 33,000 at that match 

Whenever I check out the gossip column on BBC Sport or there's a transfer rumour on social media, there's multiple players being linked with a move to the Saudi League.

Some big names being linked to go there as well. Benzema, Lewandowski, Gundogan, Kante, Messi as well as already having Ronaldo in there, who I believe is the start of big name players heading over there for a nice pay day. 

I personally don't know much about the league myself but all I can think is players are moving over there for the big fat pay day that they are being offered. 

It almost feels like when the Chinese Super League started gaining attention and got linked with pretty much every single big name player in the world and offering them hefty wages to sweeten deals. 

The postponed Match against Sutton United has been rearranged for Tues 27th February 7:45pm.

So we know that Luke has gone and we wait for a new Head Coach to be appointed.

A New Coach brings new ideas, new tactics, possible changes in shape, style of play & changes in the team.

What would you like to see from a new Head Coach?

Will all the players get a new lease of life or might we see changes in the starting 11?

Jim O'Brien has been appointed interim Head Coach, according to the Notts website, for the time being. Thoughts?

In some German states, 6 January is a bank holiday to celebrate the three kings who visited baby Jesus. As we all know, they gave him gold, frankincense and prediction league points. Which brings us onto this round: send in your predictions by 3pm on Saturday, remembering your joker, and see how high you can score!
