I want to take this time to say I am on holiday between August 1st-15th and I will miss the opening two games at home to Colchester and away to Cambridge. I will also miss the League Cup game against Middlesbrough. My first game will be Yeovil at home on the Friday evening

Hello all,

I'm a lifelong county fan and have been browsing PON for a while now so thought I'd go ahead and join! 

Guys can we welcome our new member to Pon @Kingzmaddiennotts

Can you you help me welcome @Markymark to Pon please everyone 

Monday I went with @Chris to pick up his and @super_pie season tickets with the sun shining the gates open to see the pitch I couldn’t help but think this is beautiful. It’s not just the sun sending me mad I but  it’s the that money that’s been invested in repairs the main gate repainted the pitch relaid the front of the shop given some tic it just looks like some where I live being I even said to @Chris this has be come one of favourite area in Notts. 

What do you guys think of meadow lane.?

So this was a hard one to choose so I asked @super_pie to choose, we have a winner and the winner  is  @BigBill  .. well done mate a fantastic caption. 

The winning caption is below ????????????????????????????????

We have seen the two goal keepers in action over the preseason.

 bwho should be County’s number one this coming season.?

 How would you rate there pre seaon. ? 

Hi everyone not been on for a while, but this is really bugging me, anyway here goes.

Firstly let me say i am really happy with our transfer dealings, and yes there is a lot
to be excited about.

But my main fear is the CM, where is the ball winner the thug you need at this level, 
because as good a ball player Vaughan is, he his not a Yates, O'Connor, Harding, Bishop, 
feel sorry for Hewitt the poor guy can't do it on his own.

It's no coincidence last year we was bombing up until January, when Yates left and we
never replaced him, maybe because they thought O'Connor would be fit, i am just hoping
that young Will Patching might do the job, but we have not seen him play yet?

Maybe it's just me.
 

So  Pon reported That Kevin Nolan has stated that Richard Duffy could be the Notts captain  for 18/19’seasom... but we will need to wait a few weeks for confirmation.

Based on this following discussion (which I urge members to read too).

I would like to know how many followers you have right now?

Don't forget to go follow your favourite members, it's a nice way to keep tabs on the community.  

Which player is featured in both mine and @Magic magpie's Twitter cover?

Let's try to start off with guesses ladies and gents... ???? 

A game where you have to well... guess the goalscorers. I will say a Notts match from past seasons and you have to guess who scored for Notts that day

Notts 5-3 Crawley (2014/15) (18th October 2014)

? (9,37,63)

? (18)

? (80)

I am allowing other members to post other matches so we can all guess

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.

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.
