Who am I? 

First answers only, make sure it's the right one. Go! 

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)

Since there is no football on and @DangerousSausage can't do their prediction leagues, let's play a regular Guessing game. I will post clues and all you have to do is simply guess the answer. Leader board will be added, will only accept first answer make sure it's the correct one.. 

First Round, Guess the player..

Get guessing.. Answer revealed tomorrow. 

Hello @Alex, welcome to the Pride of Nottingham. I hope you enjoy being a part of our Notts County community.

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? 

Welcome to PON @CooperPie, would you be up for telling us a little bit about yourself.

You're the manager of England. You're heading to the World Cup. You have to name your 23 man squad. Only difference is you can only select players who played for England after you were born but can ONLY select ONE current player. Who you picking?

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.

have your say now. ????????

So football is grinding to a halt. The Premier League and EFL are postponed. After initially insisting on playing behind closed doors, the Bundesliga and Bundesliga 2 are postponed until further notice and Hannover's entire squad is in quarantine. The National League (irresponsibly IMO) is attempting to continue, but will surely bite the bullet sooner rather than later - Harrogate already can't continue.

What happens now? Surely Euro 2020 will have to be cancelled or put back a year, which I suppose would give us the opportunity to complete our fixtures in the summer, if we're over the worst by then. The alternative is very much on the table though - just cancelling the season altogether, which begs the question of what we do with promotion and relegation, or even if we bother with it at all. What happens if the situation drags on until August or later - on the one hand it feels farcical to promote teams when there are ten matches still to play, but on the other, can we really just render the season null and void? Another suggestion I've heard in Germany is promoting the teams in the automatic promotion places, but not doing relegation. That might be more acceptable to clubs, but would result in a 26-team League One.

I feel gutted about the whole thing to be honest, but all things pass, even this. The question is, what happens next?

I know, I know.... The leagues are all suspends right now. I’m thinking outside the box.

What’s the secret to the success this season?

Is it the steady ownership, Neal Ardley, recruitment, the fans, correcting last season, the standard of the league, something else, or a mixture of these?

For you, what has been the secret to the success this season?

Think back to the first football shirt you remember having. Who's the first player that comes to mind?

For me it'd be this..

2b427d1e89bb55c32f76a629fbc6e455.jpg

I don't know about any other fans here, but this is typical for a Notts fan. There is never a straight forward season, well at least it seems. I don't mind that the season has been suspended, that's not a rant about that. I just feel we have to be one of the most luckiest clubs in the world.

Steady ownership ✔️
Manager doing well ✔️
Players happy and settled ✔️
Club doing well in the league ✔️
Team bang in form ✔️

Then along comes a virus which puts everything on hold, I bet the resident Barrow fan @chipmunx feels somewhat unlucky too.

Dear all,

I am involved in some university research that is looking at sexuality in football and I would appreciate a few minutes of your time to share your thoughts on this subject. The survey is anonymous and can be found here:
