Looks like Torquay United are headed for administration.

Surely we are not going to see another grand old league club poised to follow clubs like Bury, Macclesfield and Chester who have reappeared well down the league pyramid as phoenix clubs.

Something has to be done to ensure this does not happen.

When I was invited to become a moderator and accepted, I felt not only proud to be asked but also motivated to make a difference, so I joined Twitter. I mainly retweet and comment, I’m not the most active user, but it’s a good platform to connect with fans. It’s more about motivation for me. However, I’ve mentioned in my Twitter bio that I’m a moderator, in the hope that fans will see it and consider visiting the site.

If you’re a fan of PON, one way to show your support is by adding the Pride of Nottingham’s social media account to your own socials. You could even leave a comment suggesting others to visit the site. If you don’t have a website, you might consider linking to your own profile or to the community.

It’s crucial to attract more visitors to the site. I understand not everyone will do this, but I’d recommend it. It’s a common practice among people my age to recognise the communities they’re part of.

Game 38 - The Red Devils (A)

Team: Crawley Town

Date: 12/03/2024

Where: Broadfield Stadium

What line-up should Stuart Maynard opt for? What will be the key areas for the Magpies to get a victory? What do you think the final score will be?

Have your say below, join in with the Pride of Nottingham match discussion.

I believe it is more important than ever to get behind Stuart Maynard and the team.

We have witnessed a big loss in form, but I don't blame Stuart for that.

We knew from the very first game of the season that things went quite right.

Notts were very fortunate that they didn't meet a top side in the first 12 games, then things started to come unstuck when we met Mansfield at home.

Even before then we were conceding lots of goals and Luke Williams never solved the problems before he left.

We have to be blunt, Stuart came into a mess that was none of his making. He identified the problem very quickly and has tried to tweak things which has worked to reduce the goals conceded, but our goals have dried up for us too.

We did play well in parts in our last game, and we are still creating chances, but still conceding from defensive errors.

We have 11 games left and the target now has to be getting another half dozen points to see us safe, then a rebuild is needed in the close season.

I believe Stuart Maynard should be that man to rebuild the side and take us into the new season with a stronger squad that will compete in this League.

Chopping and changing the Head Coach now, and some Notts fans are advocating that, would be absolutely counter productive in my opinion.

community is something that makes a difference, you see it on facebook, twitter where pockets of fans look out for each other and its no different on pon. its very important, i know it is to some of the others i know here. we dont just discuss notts but we get to know each other through the comments and that might take some by surprise but i would always encourage a community that supports each other than one that turns against itself.

I suddenly noticed that Facebook had logged me out, I tried to sign in and it wouldn't let me. So, I decided to try to reset my password, which didn't work either. A quick check to see if others were experiencing it, and I see people are speculating that it's been hacked.

It could very well be down but signing users out of its service is a very strange aspect.

Twitter users are having a good chuckle at the expense of Facebook, not that Twitter (Xxcom) doesn't have its own issues.

Hopefully, it's just a case of Facebook being down. It would be quite alarming to think it has been hacked, what with all the information a social media site like it would have.

I’m going to the match this afternoon, grandson George doesn’t want to come because of all the negativity, I fear we’ll lose supporters if it carries on.

Tomorrow it’s Mothers Day and our son has invited us for Sunday Lunch along with our daughter in laws mother so we are looking forward to that.

What line-up should Stuart Maynard opt for? What will be the key areas for the Magpies to get a victory? What do you think the final score will be?

Have your say below, join in with the Pride of Nottingham match discussion.

The launching of the Notts County Memory Club for former players is a great idea by the Club, and the first meeting will be held later this month.

I’m grateful for PON too, it’s usually my go-to when I see some of the brilliant content that’s shared on the site. It’s got me curious, my moustache is practically jumping off my face with excitement. Most of my online activity is reading the news, I don’t really participate in other discussion forums. I seldom use social media, I definitely don’t spend time on Twitter. So, what are some of your other favourite websites? I enjoy checking BBC News and Sports, CNET, Android Authority to name a few.

How about you?

We all remember the great goals but what about the great saves?

This save from England great, Gordon Banks, from a Pele header during the Brazil v England game at the 1970 World Cup in Mexico, is my favourite all time greatest save.

102 years ago today result 

Aston Villa 3 Notts County 4

FA Cup 4th round replay. (Quarter final in those days)

The 4th round tie at meadow lane ended Notts 2 Villa 2

Notts lost to Huddersfield in the semi final that year.

On Saturday Notts take on Wimbledon at Meadow Lane. How many links between the two clubs can we find?

My contribution is Neil Ardley who managed both teams. How many more links can we find?

i thought this was worth sharing here, as i agree with everything mentioned in the post.

I’ve been clearing our loft and found some old ornaments wrapped in newspaper, one paper was the Evening Post from 16th March 1998.

Who remembers our championship winning year under Sam Alardyce?

This day when we beat the mighty Spurs at Meadow Lane.

Morning everyone, I’ve got a nasty dose of man flu, I reckon I caught it off @Chris when I read one of his posts. ????

Mrs. T is pampering me but she refuses to wear a nurses uniform. 

Anyway I won’t be doing much this weekend but it won’t stop me having a curry tonight, Mrs. T is cooking a nice chicken biryani.

Whats everyone else up to this weekend?

I don’t believe one person can pinpoint everything that’s currently happening with Notts. Performances have shifted from being quite entertaining and yielding some excellent results at the start of the season to being absolutely dreadful. When Notts collapses, they do so dramatically, and I find no solace in seeing our club struggle. We’ve transitioned from resembling Juve to a struggling Udinese within the same season. What might be pressure, injuries, fatigue, loss of manager etc. is starting to become a more serious issue with more fans increasingly losing their patience. So, how does Notts navigate this complex situation? It’s not as simple as winning games or sacking Stuart Maynard. Results could go a long way, but at this stage in the season, I can’t foresee a dramatic change in form. The simplest thing anyone can suggest is to win the remaining games, but considering just how many the club has lost recently, there needs to be a more collective solution.

And to think we haven't reached March yet.

Apart from the National League, would you consider the Premier League to be the subsequent most challenging division in which to achieve success? I am not referring to the quality of play, but rather the difficulty in accomplishing objectives.

Additionally, why do you believe that English managers are increasingly being disregarded for top-flight positions, particularly towards the higher end of the standings?

For instance, Eddie, who many might have expected to struggle whilst adapting to a wealthier club like Newcastle United. Nonetheless, it is invigorating to observe his performance.

When Newcastle United dismissed Steve Bruce, they might have opted for any manager, but they selected Eddie Howe. What are your thoughts on this matter?
