For me it's Blundell Park. I can't stand the place. Away stand is rusting and is about to fall down. It just feels like you're living in the 18th century.
What about everyone else?

For those of you with Netflix, the first series of The English Game is online now. Apparently it's based on a true story and Notts play a very minor role in it.
I'm still working through my backlog of Outlander and Better Call Saul, plus The Last Kingdom is coming back this month. The English Game is definitely going on my list though. Has anyone seen it? Can you recommend?

Time for a shameless plug. Issue 398 of WSC is out now - and it's got an article on Notts written by Martin Naylor (from The Pie?). Sample sentence: "Our notoriously hot taps have for years fired out liquid lava onto the hands of Notts fans."
Here's the link if you fancy reading it (and supporting this wonderful football magazine).

We are finally in April, another month closer to the end of the year and DECHOX finally ended (raised £90 this year, highest amount I've raised in the 5 years of doing).
Not really much I can report on this week apart from being inside all day every day. I have been to the shop but it's been to get my grandparents some shopping.
I finally caved into getting tik tok made two (that's even worse). Just been baking and eating really.
How has your week in isolation been?

If you could go back in time and change just ONE thing in your life what would you change and why?
I'm a believer in everything happens for a reason and I'm happy where life has brought me but if I could change one thing then it'd be avoid having my ankle snapped when I was 13. Not only was it a horrific injury to suffer but long term it prevented me playing regular football. Injury after injury to the point on doctors advice I was told not to play competitive football again. I haven't played for a team in 5 years, I only play mess around 5 a sides now.

Bill Withers has sadly passed on aged 81.
Everyone should know his Ain't No Sunshine and Lean On Me, two really positive thinking songs that help me to reflect on things. I am sure others feel the exact same way, it's such saddening news. I don't usually post these, but his death has touched me.

With all the spare time on my hands now I’ve been playing around on photoshop. I then strangely remembered the ‘where’s the ball’ feature from the competition pages of my old football mags and thought I’d make my own for people to try. Just a bit of fun really.
Here’s the picture, all you have to do is reply with the name of the square you think the ball is in!
I’ll let this run for a bit and post the real picture on Thursday night, along with a congrats to anyone that gets it right! (Hope it isn’t too easy/hard)

I hope everyone is keeping safe and taking this seriously, it's not something that we should be ignoring.
I'm curious what people are doing differently now due to the pandemic?
Today I've been told that I don't have to travel to Sheffield until late April, this could be extended but it means I have plenty of free time. I'll be staying in Leeds where I go to Uni.
My families locked up in various parts of Nottingham.
I'm keeping in contact with my grandparents and parents via skype. They're all fine and staying home to be safe.

How do you tackle it?
Todays been one of those days nothing works, I’m watching a film and I’m bored. It’s one of my favourites, but you wouldn’t tell.
One of the slowest days too.

I've added a new blog post, focussing on the culinary delights to be found at German football stadia. Also featuring an exclusive picture of Uli Hoeness' sausage. Take a look here!

Well... Its definitely been an interesting week, probably has been for all of us.
Worked monday night for 3 hours, little did I know it was the last time for maybe 3 months.
Done quite a lot of things this week. I've baked, watched a lot of things on Disney+ and YouTube. Spoke to @ARLukomski a lot due to not being able to see each other. I've even painted, not done that since school.
How has you're week been?

I know there is a weekly round up that I try to do every sunday, but I thought I'd do a separate topic on just to see how everyone is doing at the moment.
I know people who have trouble with mental health could be finding this time very difficult.
I'm doing well at the moment, I am keeping myself busy by baking, cooking some what decent meals, listening to music, writing and watching things (youtube, netflix and disney+).
Found a fun thing to do but it's so sad. I watch people out of the window and count how many times they've been out.
If anyone is struggling and wants a chat, I am always here, my handles for my social medias are in my profile.
How are you doing and what are you doing to keep busy?

Hello @Rio Doherty, welcome to PON.
I think we might have overlooked your arrival, but I would still like to give you a warm welcome. I watched your vlog, very good young man. How did you capture such stunning and professional footage? Did you use a big camera?
Nice work with that.
