Notts fans, now ticket details have been released, we'd love a few of you to join our fundraising walk to Mansfield Town on April 16th.
We already have a good -sized group of willing walkers signed up and would be delighted if anyone else decided to join us in the 15 mile walk to the game. Hopefully it may be a good opportunity to challenge yourself without too much training.
Due to the early kick-off it's a lovely 6.30am departure with a scenic stroll up to Mansfield with a pub stop on the way. A breakfast cob and bus back are included in the £10 sign-up fee which also gets you a FITC t-shirt for the walk. This has kindly been sponsored by Nottingham Rotary Club. Tickets need to be purchased separately and are not included. We hope to arrive by 12pm in Mansfield and can de-camp in an area of the club.
You don't have to fundraise, it would just be great to have you involved but walking 15 miles is no mean feat so any sponsorship raised will go towards our mental-health projects for adults and young people in the local community.
Any questions please respond or email [email protected]
Regards, The Football in the Community Team. -
Time to stretch your brains again!
Which clubs have played in all four divisons at some stage in their history?
-
where is Stanley he's not even been in the reserve games lately or the bench
-
Still trying to catch up on all things Notts.....and I notice that they have edited out all the Notts "action" from the Yeovil game?
This hardly seems fair.....have we upset the BBC?

Join in folks, those who don't have accounts - by all means post below.

Like the title suggests who is the best manager for our club.
For me it is quite simply
Martin Allen
Never before nor since have I felt as connected to the club as I did when he was in charge
-
Just hijacking @ivansneck 's thread
Since the formation of the Football League, which is the only Non-League team to win the FA Cup?
-
Just to cheer you up have a look at this. I was at the other end that day. Eighth final of the German Cup - Gladbach against Kaiserslautern 1993/4 at the Bokelberg. This footgae is from the start of the game. Joachim Stadler was Borussia's answer to Haydn Hollis. I still have nightmares about this. In the end Kaiserslautern won 3-2.
-
Jamie wants consistency, well nearly 400 minutes without a goal, he is certainly getting there! Should we extend his contract before other clubs start tapping him up.
-
Well, if Stanley goes elsewhere, feeling that crowd will get more vocal against Jamie.
-
What do you think of this?
-
this has to happen fast a new owner something to lift the fans lift the players or someone has to sack Jamie Fullarton.
Someone has to sack him soon I read that his win rate is now worse then chris kiwoyma and I belive if we have another game without scoring it equals Paul ince record.
But he is breaking all the wrong records he has to go simple as that the longer he stays the more we are praying on York and Dagenham every week next year if he's still in charge we may not be so lucky it's just my opinion don't know what others think.
But I think we should all sing Fullarton out that's how I feel about it
-
If you summed up the best and worst decisions by Ray what would you choose?
Best
1. Avoid admin after Munto takeover
2. Invest monies off the field
3. Attempt to rally the fans by kind acts of gestures
Worst
1. Blame the fans for his/the clubs failings
2. Use social media and the other site
3. Itchy finger syndrome
Now you? -
As I will not be online for a few days after tomorrow (my 6 monthly trip to a Mexican border is now due), I wanted to get in early and post my score prediction.
Yeovil are on a roll.
The recently twice-relegated Championship side, have just beaten Mansfield at Field Mill, before that Accrington, before that Daggers.....and before that drew with Plymouth and Portsmouth!!
Notts meanwhile, haven't beaten anyone since.....errrr.....my memory has gone blank.
In fact, the last time we had more than 3 shots on target was...... errrrr...ok, never mind.
So.......on the basis that we have to get lucky once in a while,.... and actually score!.....................3-1 to Yeovil

Today I stumbled on a Bristol Rovers fan article deep in the bowels of the Bristol Post, and my god does it put the boot into poor old Notts... just read some of it for yourself.
That poor sequence may still come back to haunt us, but at least Darrell Clarke stopped the rot, as he always seems to manage, with three comfortable wins, eight goals, and teams like Notts County suggesting there are some dire bottom feeders left to play.
Notts County could well be one of the rabble, shamelessly trading on their status as a founder member of the Football League in 1888, as if their history won't let them go down. Well, we certainly know all about that sort of attitude don't we? Excuse me if I have little sympathy for their puffed up club after the dirty battles of the late 80's / early 90's and the legendary 'ungentlemanly conduct' episode in September 2000, which although early in the season, could be seen as the stolen brace of points that eight months later saw us relegated, by a solitary point, to the Fourth Division for the first time in our history.
Karma has helped us to four wins out of five at Meadow Lane since that unsavoury episode, and last Saturday's win sounded like a pretty comfortable experience, which can hardly be said about Jamie Fullerton's managerial chair at the moment. There are times in life when unchecked 'ambition' fosters bad decision making, and given that Fullerton has had five football jobs in less than five years since joining Rovers in the summer of 2011 as Youth Team Coach (and leaving a year after), and has made some rather vocal critics in his playing and coaching career, this could well be one of those times.
Football fans apportion great credence to loyalty, and neither jumping from club to club, nor crossing the Trent from Forest to County, is much of a vote winner. Every manager in Britain knows there are certain poisonous jobs and boardroom dungeons that probably aren't worth striving for, at any salary, and the County hot seat must surely be up there alongside the rotten ducking stools at Villa Park, and that other tiding of self-important magpies in the North East.
It seems like the old superstition that a magpie is bad luck could be true, so instead of meeting a pica pica with the traditional greeting, "Good morning Mr. Magpie. How is your lady wife today?", healthier advice may be to run a country mile if 'Mike Ashley' or 'Ray Trew' ever pops up on a list of missed callers.
Bloody hell. Chip on their shoulder much?
Here's the full article (about half of it is devoted to ripping into Notts, the rest is Bristol Rovers stuff that doesn't concern us)

Sounds like Hardys pulling out of the takeover by the sounds of his tweets etc.
Such as his offer either isn't good enough or the American group have made a better offer and are in a better financial place in not sure.
Or the last rumour that's been going around repeat RUMOUR for people who don't understand that word is that Ray trew actually doesn't want to sell.
As he is now giving Fullarton backing to apparently bring in another forward to address the lack of goals issue how about addressing Liam noble in the middle to create goals or even score them after all he does have 8.
But yea just thought I'd give everyone a heads up

Hello @Richard Hargreaves and @ricejon3,
Welcome to the Pride of Nottingham, how are you both? Care to tell us a little bit about yourselves?
It's great to have you both here and I hope you enjoy being apart of our growing community, there's plenty of content and things to do - if you have any questions, feel free to message any team member and we will gladly help out where possible. For now, enjoy the site and I look forward to reading your input. COYP! -
It's being reported Notts are keen to take on Scunthorpe United defender Andrew Boyce on loan.
He's a physical, well built defender whom could be the solution to our problems at the back (provided he signs and Fullarton plays him - the latter you never know) but Plymouth Argyle are also sniffing around him. This would be more interesting than the Doncaster defender and not 'one of the usual' suspects.
What do you think? Should Notts take Andrew Boyce on?? Discuss... -
Matchtalk
Interesting commentary from the other forum, which I am still a refugee from. PON has some really sensible discussions without the keyboard warriors who have their own agendas.
Poundpie wrote on 22:38 09 Mar:freemuzzy wrote on 21:05 09 Mar:Poundpie wrote on 20:50 09 Mar:upthemaggies wrote on 20:36 09 Mar:To be fair to Dougie, and anybody here who didn't hear the programme, he didn't say anything to defend the owners and didn't say much in defence of Fullarton either, other than that we should give him a chance, that he should have an assistant and that he is giving instructions to players during the game rather than just standing there doing nothing for 90 minutes. He's obviously a longtime fan and I don't think he deserves a pillorying on here. Of this of all weeks, you might have expected Radio Nottingham to have had a guest who wasn't representing the club in an official capacity, but having said that, I don't think any of the callers who phoned in could be described as apologists or nodders, so maybe he was chosen for balance.
Very fair. Just a note, though, he was representing the officially recognised Supporters Association, he was not put forward by the club at all.
Great. While you're on here, do you fancy answering any of the legitimate questions/concerns that have been posted on a daily basis?
Well, I haven't been reading on a daily basis, but when I have read, there's been very few legitimate questions asked on here. (that's not to say, of course, that there aren't any.) What I have seen is a lot of understandable criticism, some put well, some not, and plenty of discussion about rumours revolving around what someone has apparently heard. It's not really the place to come and answer queries, as quite a few already seem to have their own answers and don't want to hear the truth. Also, many here feel that my answers would be untrustworthy. It's a shame there was little response to our proposed meet the manager event, as those who have attended in the past would know that its about asking questions of any of us. There certainly is a need for the opportunity for supporters to be able to air their views and have questions answered, with the ability for people who can't attend to be able to comment live via other means. I understand the club are looking to do this soon. I will say for now, though, that RT is considering proposals from more than one source for the club, including overseas. Thank you.
Thanks for the response. FWIW I'd quite like to hear 'the truth'. Would any of the following meet the 'legitimate' question criteria?
Is it accepted at boardroom level that Jamie Fullarton has made a poor start as manager?
Is there a reason Fullarton still has no permanent assistant?
Was style of play discussed at Fullarton's job interview?
Did Fullarton formally apply for the role or was he invited to interview?
What are the aims between now and the end of the season from a playing perspective?
Is the decision to ostracise Stanley Aborah solely a football one - as was originally indicated?
Why did the club sanction Aborah's interview last week only to immediately dispute his version of events?
As Aborah has always been available for selection (as the club has admitted), do you personally find it strange that someone who had previously been our best player is no longer considered good enough for the bench?
Is it coincidental that all of the Moniz led signings are no longer in the first team and has nationality played a factor in this?
If the reason for no flags/banners of a certain size in ML are due to health and safety regulations, why were Bristol Rovers fans - and the vast majority of away supporters this season - allowed to flout these?
If the meet the manager event carried such importance and was seen as a vital way for supporters to get their views heard, why did you charge for entry to this and ask to vet the questions in advance?
Did you and/or your husband plan to attend this as it was only JW from who'd been mentioned on promotional material for the event?
Have there been any inital plans/discussions about who will step in as CE when Julian Winter leaves, assuming new owners aren't forthcoming at this point?
Thanks in advance - I look forward to your reply.Response from Aileen
1 yes, some of these meet 'legitimate question" criteria
2.It's accepted that results and some performances have been inconsistent, but that also he's working well with the team and staff to make improvements. He's not been long in post
3.The process is ongoing for a suitable assistant. There are no particular issues in this regard and it's recognised it should be sooner rather than later.
4.Style of play was of course discussed. As was the need to rectify weaker areas
5.He applied
6.to win as many games as possible while being more consistent in performances, being more pleasing watch. Nothing new.
7.SA was never ostracised
8.The interview would have happened whether we sanctioned it or not. Already on twitter.
9.it's never been a case of whether the player was good enough for the squad.
10Some of what were seen to be Moniz signings were not regularly selected by the previous manager. Insinuations of racism (by some) are totally unfounded.
11.I'm still to discuss the removal of that particular banner with the relevant dept. I was surprised to see it being removed. The wording did not contravene any regulations that I'm aware of, but like I said, I don't yet know the reason it was removed. Re visiting banners: clubs bringing banners/drums/trumpets etc generally ask permission first. Large banners require fire safety certs.
12.meet the manager event: there's always been a small charge(a bit more if drink/food is included) As in the past, some questions are invited by email, for those unable to attend, also via twitter and live on the night. The only vetting that takes place is on multiple questions (the same) and on obscenity. (not good for a family club, and uneccessary)
13.yes, as always, we'd be there, along with other staff. (unless RT's working away)
14.yes, talks are current for a replacement CEO.
Hope that helps. Obviously, I must exercise discretion when it comes to discussing
employees.
PS this, in response to freemuzzy

Which clubs have conceded the most goals away from home in league matches since 1888? I want the top ten please, 1 point for each.
Interestingly it contains 4 clubs who are not current members of the 92.

I saw a link to this on the Notts website. Thought I'd share it as it looks like it will be an interesting read http://www.lordofmilan.com/
