Notts stadium being effectively owned by Trustees of Haydn Green has been a blessing in disguise

It's no secret that we've gone through a lot of players over last decade. So let's play a game...guess the player? 

The rules are simple - got to have been on the Notts County first team in this decade. You can ask for more clues. Who ever gets it right takes the next player and so on.

This player joined us on loan and made 5 appearances for us including being sent off for time wasting. Scored no goals. GO!

Always interesting to look at old maps, especially what has changed around Meadow Lane

Welcome to PON @Thaipie

I haven't been doing daily exercise or walks, it's something that I find difficult at times.

And, yes it's important that we defeat the Coronavirus by following the guidelines we are given. It must be difficult for so many people, all in different ways.

I know I won't be the only one hoping for it to be resolved soon, but that seems unlikely.

It just sucks having to stay indoors, I have tried keeping busy and, it's not working. I watch TV etc, I just want to see my parents, I won't because I'd never put them in danger but it's doing my head in.

I keep feeling unwell due to the limitations, I'm sure I'm not worst or the only one.

I hope everyone out there that reads this is keeping well, feel open to discuss how you're coping - perhaps between us we can fight some of the issues of being isolated like this.

My new blog is up now, in which I carefully analyse the many ways in which our beloved game can be improved (besides actually having matches, of course). The blog is this way.

Let's get a discussion going!

what you going for?

I have said on both Facebook and, Twitter that I am more than happy to create graphics. This is something that I now have more time to do and, I feel like it gives something back to the community. If you would like a cover picture, wallpaper etc, creating - please let me know.

If you do use something I design, I would like to ask that you consider letting other fans know about this.

Be sure to give @prideofnottingham a follow on Instagram! 

If you have any requests, please let me know.

When we think about exceptional circumstances and football seasons being cancelled, most of us automatically think of the Second World War. The other day I stumbled across this article and it occurred to me that there is loads I don't know about that time. Did you know that Bath City won the northern half of the League, only to be denied a Football League place after the war?

Good reading this. I wonder if we'll be seeing temporary regional leagues again?

Claiming to be the oldest professional club

This pandemic will hopefully be a one in a life time event.

I have never known a football season to be paused or handled in this way, but I am wondering if any other fans have bizarre or interesting stories that have disrupted the club. It might not be as extreme as the Coronavirus but I would like to see if other fans can share some past events.

What mindless TV shows get you by?

I like watching Lifetime, it's a distraction and fall of mindless stuff. Just to clarify, whilst I enjoy Judge Judy - this would easily fall into the category as mindless as most people on it have me scared for humanity.

Storage Wards is another show that I like, it's interesting at times but mostly pointless in truth.

It's more about the people who buy the lockers, which the TV producers realise.

I'm sure there's some others I could mention but my minds currently burned now, thanks to the Coronavirus pandemic. ???? 

Do you think the playoffs will take place or cancelled?

Personally, I think Barrow will go up replacing Bury and, then the rest of the leagues remain the same which is incredibly unfair. I mean, it's the laziest solution to this problem.

If the playoffs don't happen (which I think is very likely).

I think it's even more unlikely that that teams within the relegation zone from the PL to League Two won't be effected, whereas they could promote the teams in the highest position and relegate those in the drop zones. If Notts happened to be in the same position of last season, I would feel this keeps the leagues status in order - without putting jeopardy to the tradition. 

We are 6 weeks into lock down now, just thought I would pop on to see how everyone is doing and if you found anything new to do. 

I'm doing pretty well (slightly tipsy while writing this) but I get bored here and there but I am coping. 

 I've have started going for walks with my brother while playing Pokemon Go (don't worry we aren't stopping to do any gyms, we are still abiding the 2 metre rule). 

Baked some different things (made apple crumble today and started making brownies as well, as I do struggle to find nut free ones). Making corn beef and potato pie one day this week as well. 

It's just nice to see supermarkets looking like they were before hand, a part from the flour. 

This is the most logical solution I've seen so far for how the season should be settled if it can't continue.
