how do you feel now compared to this point in time last year?

last season it was kevin nolans first full year in charge of the club, it was also his first active transfer window and alan hardy had the chance to stamp his objects onto the club. building into the season i thought notts signed okay players, the majority just had that sensible factor for the area we are and i felt the team spirit would return/even improve with players who wanted to be at the club.

im more happier with the signings this season, we seem to have identified areas of the squad which need improving and we seem to be building with this in mind.

i thought notts would finish around 8-10th last year, whereas now i feel the club can secure promotion. i feel a few more signings and we could actually be in the running to win the league.

what do you think?

Having announced that the business is done apart from maybe a special loan move I thought I would create what I think is our best team and formation to run ahead of this campaign.

Famous for Pavis sending him back to Derby after his sending off

So I’ve read that Alex oxlade-chamberlain is facing a year a out with his injury. 

So we have just signed his brother oxlade-chamberlain junior as I like to call him do you think Alex will come to meadow lane to watch his brother play.?

Notts County have announced over there website that you can collect your season ticket tomorrow against Leicester or will be posted to you.

So the other day I was thinking about Jorge Grant. The fact this season he is not apart of our squad. 

My question will we miss him this season 

So on Saturday Notts take on former premier league champions Leicester. 

Will you be going .? 

Whats the score going to be .? 

So it’s that time again guess the magpie answer revealed on Friday good luck everyone.   

So what players or team do you think Leicester will bring to Meadow Lane to face our magpies.?

From BBC Sport:

Juventus have revealed their third-kit design for the 2018-19 season - made entirely from recycled ocean plastic.

Adidas designer Francesca Venturini, who created the dark grey shirt in partnership with Parley for the Oceans, said the jersey has "eco-innovation and longevity at its very heart".

The Serie A champions are the latest high-profile club to support the campaign to cut plastic pollution.

Manchester United and Real Madrid have also worn Parley Ocean Plastic kits.

Do you think this is a good idea? Should Notts County head down this direction in the coming years? Or would it be too expensive for clubs in the lower leagues to implement?

I've just been called by a very bubbly young lady who was definitely English and very friendly, she knew my name and address and said that the insurance on our washing machine is due to run out, I said we hadn't got insurance on our washing machine as it was at least 20 years old, it was obviously some kind of scam so I hung up immediately.

On looking on line this scam is doing the rounds and catching some people out and they are giving their bank details and being fleeced.

How does that girl sleep at night? Has she got elderly parents/grandparents? She obviously knows that she is taking money from people by deception, how can she do it? The people who fall for this will be the elderly and vulnerable it makes my blood boil. 

Please be aware and make your elderly relatives and neighbours aware.

So I know we like the hot weather well depends how what about our pets.? 

This my dog sandy and she’s loves for about 4 mins at a time anyone else’s pets.?

So oxlade-chamberlain is a magpie thoughts guys. 

Are we happy about this.?

Has anyone had a close encounter with wildlife? Tell us your story, here’s mine.

Picture the scene we were camping on the banks of the Thames, I was fishing in a secluded little bay with reeds and foliage all around, quietly sitting there I suddenly heard a rustling in the undergrowth, to my amazement an otter suddenly appeared at the side of me, I couldn’t believe my eyes, stupidly, instead of sitting perfectly still, I said “hello” and it took one look at me and scooted off back from where it came never to be seen again. I don’t know what I was thinking it was hardly going to engage in conversation and say “hello how are you isn’t it a lovely day”. 

Thats my story anyone else got one?

So Alan Hardy has just said on his twitter Paige that tomorrow there is another signing another prospect.
