Hopefully this isn’t a controversial subject but here goes.

I never watch Good Morning Britain and have absolutely no interest whatsoever what Philip Schofield has or has not been up to, does anyone else think the papers (gutter press) are hounding the poor bloke? Surely his private life should be that…..private.

Leave him alone for goodness sake otherwise it could have tragic consequences, god forbid he finds it too much and takes his own life but it’s happened to celebrities in the public eye before and can happen again.

What do others think?

Lets welcome @Lydia to PON. I hope to see you on here.

Notts County are the oldest professional football club in the world, but they are also one of the smallest in terms of fan base. The Magpies have struggled to compete with bigger and more successful clubs in the region, such as Nottingham Forest and Derby County, and have seen their attendances decline over the years. They have also failed to appeal to younger generations, who may prefer to follow Premier League or European teams instead.

In this forum post, we want to discuss how Notts County can attract more young fans and grow their fan base. What can the club do to make themselves more relevant and attractive to the youth? How can they increase their exposure and reach in the media and online? How can they foster a sense of loyalty and identity among their fans? What are some initiatives or campaigns that Notts County can launch to attract more young fans?

Share your ideas and suggestions with us and let’s help Notts County grow.

Notts County is a club with a rich history and a loyal fan base. Whether you have been following the Magpies for decades or just recently discovered them, you probably have some memorable moments watching them play. Maybe it was a thrilling victory, a stunning goal, a heroic comeback, or a funny incident. Maybe it was the atmosphere at Meadow Lane, the camaraderie with other fans, or the feeling of pride and passion.

In this forum post, we want to hear from you. What are your fondest memories of watching Notts County live? How did they make you feel? What made them special?

Notts County have played in many different stadiums over the years, from the iconic Wembley to the humble Field Mill. Some of them have been memorable for the right reasons, such as the atmosphere, the facilities, the views, or the results. Others have been memorable for the wrong reasons, such as the poor conditions, the hostile fans, the bad location, or the defeats.

In this forum post, we want to hear from you. What are the best and worst stadiums you have seen Notts County play in? How did they affect your experience of watching the Magpies? Which stadium was the most impressive or enjoyable to visit and why? Which stadium had the best or worst pitch and how did it affect Notts County’s performance?

I consume music in various ways, from my desktop/laptop, to my phones and other methods. I mostly use YouTube music now as it's just very convenient and has literally everything I could dream of wanting to hear. On my desktop, I have an app called MusicBee, which nicely presents all the songs/albums I have on my hard drive.

It has a plugin to bridge YouTube Music, which is handy, but I also use YouTube Music in my browser.

It's one of the most used apps on my phone too. I don't own a hi-fi system, Kate has one we don't use stored away but in terms of traditional means of playing music, we don't have any. CDs are just a collector's item now; we barely use them.

Prior to Christmas, @cheeky~k8 and I put our heads together and decided to buy @super_ram a new record player. It brings the radio, and phone streaming together. He could also record his music from vinyl. We went over one Sunday and helped Super set it up, we listened to a few records, and it took me back. Something I really enjoyed, it was nice to see my dad smile knowing he can listen to his collection again.

He also loves listening to YouTube music!

So, how do you listen to music? Do you have a subscription to Spotify or another music streaming service? Do you use YouTube Music? 

What's your preference and thoughts on vinyl, tap, CD, digital music? Let's try to have a fun discussion and learn more about each other.

As Torquay have found, trying to attract players can be difficult because of the geographical location. 

Does anyone know what finances Notts will get after our return to the EFL..??.... I think we get monies from the PL and TV but does anyone know what will those amount too???? 

Hello, I am Tommy.

I am 26 years old, I have supported Notts all my life. I currently work in Leicestershire as a night security officer for a large building site, as you can imagine I get a lot of free time between my checks and well I thought I would finally come on board with PON.

Welcome, @BlackandWhitePie. To the Pride of Nottingham, we are pleased to have you here.

Perhaps wishing Stockport to be promoted, just to prove promotion from the NL to EFL 1 can be done quickly.

Welcome, @two for joy. It's good to see you have joined PON. Remember, it's one for sorrow, two for joy, three for a post, four your on a roll, 5 your a diamond, 6 you're gold. 7 is everlasting, you cannot fold. 

Hello and, welcome to the Pride of Nottingham, @LesBradd4England. I hope you enjoy being a part of our Notts County community. It's really nice to be saying welcome to you.

Did you hear about the initiative by Notts County Cricket Club to reduce their carbon footprint at Trent Bridge? They have partnered with Event Cup Solutions to provide reusable cups for drinks instead of single-use plastic ones. They say this will save 250,000 cups from going to landfill every year. Do you support this initiative or not? Do you think Notts County Football Club should do something similar or not?

Welcome to the Pride of Nottingham, @Magpie Bill. I hope you enjoy being a part of our Notts County community. Thanks for joining us!

Hello and welcome to PoN @Zski I hope you enjoy being a member.

After watching yesterday's game I was amazed at the power pace and skill of all the players........ Hate to say it...... But i reckon we have a long way to go before we will be able to match that..... I hope LW has a plan to get us to that level....... Sooner rather than later....
