Good morning PoN and what a beautiful one it is here, the sun is streaming through the windows and the temperature is climbing.

Its match night tonight, I’m looking forward to the game later on let’s hope we can get that first win under our belts.

Before that some more work has come in for me to do so I’ll be busy on the computer and popping on here from time to time. If I’ve got time this afternoon I want to get in my camper van to investigate air getting into the water system, I think there’s a leak somewhere but the pipes disappear all over the place, should be fun.

So what is everybody else up to, who’s going to the match? What are you doing during the day? Let’s keep the daily chat going.

Are you ready for County’s 3rd Game of the season against Yeovil on Friday night. 

Who’s coming to the lane then.?

You will now need to have a digital radio to follow the Notts matches, Radio Nottingham will broadcast F*r*st commentary on both 103.8 and 95.5 FM and Notts matches on digital. This is because they can no longer broadcast on MW.

Seems a bit unfair on Notts fans who haven’t got a digital radio. Thoughts?

So the magpie was none another than Gary Liddle 

welldone to Everyone that guessed correctly. 

So the other day myself @Chris and @super_pie and girls and @cheeky~k8 went to get our shirts done on the way back we took some pictures of the jimmy and jack statue so many words come to mind about this two legends. 

So In just one word describe these two it’s gunner be hard i know. 

Maybe share any stories you have.?  

Good morning all, I thought I would try this idea again, it’s one I’ve tried on here before with not much success. It might work better now we’ve got more people posting.  The idea is we have a daily thread and just put a few words about your daily lives, a bit like you might do on Facebook etc.

I had a good nights sleep no nightmares thankfully. 

Its raining here which I’m not too sad about because I’ve got computer work to do for my website, so I will be mostly on the computer pretty much all day.

Both me and Mrs. Big Tone are on a diet I was pleased I had lost another three quarters of a pound this morning when I stepped on the scales. Down to 11 stone 9 now, two years ago I was 13 stone 7.

Whats everyone else up to? How’s the weather where you are?

Name your three favourite singers or bands?

PON's members will have a wide variety of taste I suspect when it comes to music, so I am interested to know what everyone's three favourite acts are.

Welcome to the Pride of Nottingham @GetSmart, I have manually approved your account and I hope that you enjoy visiting and being a part of our Notts County community.

I'm curious about your username, would you care to explain the reasoning behind it?

Just out of interest I wondered what the age range was on PoN. You can remain anonymous just click the appropriate age range.

I am curious to know your favourite locations away from Nottingham?

So which cities, towns, villages, locations do you like away from Nottingham and why?

So over the last few days I’ve been re watching only fools and horses and they never get old to me only funnier. 

Are there any other only fools fans on here.?

EFL Cup - The Boro (A)

Where: Riverside Stadium

What line-up should Kevin Nolan opt for? What will be the key areas for the Magpies to get a victory? What do you think the final score will be?

Have your say below, join in with the Pride of Nottingham match discussion.

I don't understand why people are worried only two games into the season.

Fans are giving the owner grief on Twitter, he's reacting negatively and all this feel good factor feels like poison again. So why the meltdown?

I’ve been away (nothing new there) and there have been lots of new members join so I’d just like to say welcome to you all, this is a great forum where you will find friendly chat and banter about Notts, football and anything else you want to discuss.

Any lurkers reading this, take the plunge, join in, we don’t bite,honest. ????

I just noticed we have a new member! Welcome @Dh100.

Hello @Gaddes, Its nice to see you have joined the Pride of Nottingham.

Hello,

I have been supporting Notts since I was 7 years old, I attend games with my father and uncle. I like discussing the club and reading what sensible fans have to say about things. I don't like posting on social media because angry fans tend to be abusive.

I am 13 years old.

According to Leigh Curtis, Andy Kellett is set to start tomorrow night against Middlesbrough

Who was your Man of the Match for Notts County's EFL Cup game at Middlesbrough?

This could be an usual thread depending how you see things. I was just replying to a discussion @Fan of Big Tone started and I mentioned how Kane Hemmings missed a sitter just before Cambridge United scored their second I believe.

I used the term: He missed a "sitter".

It's a very odd way to say a player missed a golden opportunity to score.

Can you think of any more football sayings?

 Er Bean ..! 

So I was looking for a film to watch and I found MR Bean the movie I brought it ages ago and forgot I had it not bad for a £1. 

Used to be one of my favourites programs as a youngster.

Anyone else remember mr bean.?

Dose your grandchildren or children etc watch mr bean at all.?

Did anyone tune in last week? I was away but I heard it was very poor, I enjoyed watching the Championship highlights and goals from other leagues on Five Last season, I can get Quest on Virgin but is it available on Freeview? I may be babysitting grandkids, is it worth watching?

So it seems that chairman Alan Hardy is doing everything he can to entice fans to meadow lane. Not only making 10 Home fixtures and date bring a friend for season  ticket holders which just happens to be the next two home games. Yeovil Town is also a discount game making £10 for town (adults and senior £10) but he has gone one further for season ticket holders with hospitality price discounted from £30 to £20 for the Yeovil Town game on the 17th August (1945 kick off)

It seems Hardy is wanting to bring more  None season ticket holders to more games by offering a discount at £10 he has also confirm £2 Saturday will return (date to be announced) 

What do you guys think to this .? 

Full information on the the discounts for the Yeaovil Town Game below.

So the Notts County training has also been released and I have to say I really like them. it’s smart and casual I’ve definitely got my eye on a couple of the items. 

Anybody else like the training kit.? 

Do you have plans to buy it.?

Below is a link to the full Notts County training range.

From what I've heard I would drop Hewitt and Brisley. Hewitt sounds like he is incapabale of completing a pass. Sounds like he's trying to work his way out of the team. His passing can be worked on but for the moment someone else needs to come in whilst we do improve his passing. Or tell him to just run a lot and let Vaughan do the passing work.

Brisley. Was at fault for all three goals yesterday. Again, we can improve his passing but it's like he's lost his head and lost what he was good at last season. Being a defender who does the dirty work. Hall must start every game. He is so comfortable with the ball at his feet. I would bring in a CB on loan to help out. Preferably not a 19 year old CB from a Prem or Champ club. Someone who has played league football. 

Also would take a GK on loan to help give competition to Fitzsimons and to help him with his distribution and decision making. This is also something else that can be improved.

What do you think?
