Would like to hear others that also play it

just seen this on twitter.

i know @Chris does not like to self broadcast himself but i think its worth sharing on the forum. it looks amazing!

check out his graphic thread where he mentioned he would make things for members.

well done mate.

How do you feel Notts will respond to returning to football?

Do you think they will come back stronger, or suffer a setback due to the long absence between games?

I think Notts will be keen to kick on myself, if the league ends as it stands. I think they will respond brightly and want to win the league, Neal Ardley might play this down but I think the club would be quietly confident.

Hello @Iateallthepies, welcome to the Pride of Nottingham. I'm sorry, I only just noticed that you have joined but I still would like to give you a warm welcome.

I hope you enjoy being a part of our Notts County community.

You Pies!

Off the top of your head, without searching, how Notts players with different names but same initials can you mention?

a very nice gesture this

Just seen this on twitter. 

You have to pick your best World XI 

But the rules are 

No two players can be from the same nation 

No two players can be from the same club

Every player must have to have played in your lifetime. 

It's harder than you think. 

Seaman

Lahm

Kompany

Maldini 

Robertson 

Keane

Kante

Nedved 

Solano

Batistuta

David Villa

I believe that's all within the rules. Harder than you think!!!

Who am I? 

if the playoffs are played and games are pushed back, how do you feel the contracts that are up should be handled?

i cant see it happening, i think they will promote the top two teams myself.

i just have this feeling that notts will miss out, but if contracts do need extending, i would like to see the agreements added a cushion period of how long the players would be required for. ideally, notts should get those they want snapped up for longer without hassle just to be safer than sorry.

I’ve just rejoined in an attempt to put a little money into the club whilst we’re closed. I cancelled my subs when Hardy messed it up, but now is a good time to rejoin if you’re not a member.

Do we have any big winners in the PoN community? I’ve been doing it for years and I think I recall £50 many years ago and that’s it. Hopefully this time around I’ll hit the jackpot!

Simple...

Share a song and see what memories it brings up, if you answer, you will have to share another song from YouTube. I will start with Simply Red's Fairground.

I thought at first this might have been due to Filip contracting the virus, it's just a delayed deal due to the outbreak however.

Get guessing!

what is everyone watching?

lets combat the boredom and generate a good discussion on pon. what would you recommend to watch? what are you enjoying?

It's the final so let's get as many votes as we can

I got Stone Cold Steve Austin, my all time favourite wrestler. As the saying goes from the man him self "Time to open a can of whoop ass" 

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?

No rude words or swearing folks! Family entertainment on here don't forget. I'll start us off!

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).

Name 5 teams you've watched live but ONE is a lie.

Bradford City

Wimbledon 

Liverpool

Doncaster Rovers

Spain U21

Have a guess and try your own.

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.

i have to be honest, i seldomly watched it before but now i avoid it at all costs. i am not interested in what the uk media focuses on, they just try to scare you into watching.
