The Football League has launched a new streaming service for overseas fans. For €130 a year, you can watch all matches not selected by Sky live using an app.

Is anyone else thinking about this? On measure I think I'll give it a try. I hope the current radio/highlights package will still be available, but it's a long time since I've been able to watch Notts regularly and radio just isn't the same.

I had no idea where to put this, so I'll put it here.

I also write (very) occasionally on a Waldhof Mannheim forum. They haven't found a shirt sponsor and are probably starting the season sponsor-free, so they were having a debate on shirt sponsors. I decided to post about what Notts were doing with the monthly sponsors, as it's genuinely a bit different.

Within five minutes, the first response was this (translated): "By the way, Notts County is the team whose shirts were delivered to Juventus by accident 100 years ago. That's why Juve now play in black and white striped shirts."

This came from a fan of a German club with no connection whatsoever to either Notts or Juve. It made me feel a little bit proud and brought it home what a special and famous old club we all support. We should never forget that.

On the back of Kevin Nolan's comments which mentioned that Notts needs to get 'nastier on the pitch', I'm wondering if he refers to us becoming the Stevenage, MK Dons type of team or if he simply means we need to be more physical in our game?

Personally, I just think Notts need to press more and mark better. We give opposition teams a lot of free time on the ball, there's virtually no closing down at all. I was impressed in the friendly against Forest, as we did start off looking like we wanted it back and marked quite well. Yet we just tend to run around and waste energy by not effectively marking or making the decisions when it comes to winning the ball back.

The perfect example would be how Tootle lost his man against Forest, ran backwards and only just managed to win the ball back.

He could have easily turned and positioned himself in a way that made it harder for the Forest fan, yet he decided to allow their player to run and this is an area where we tend to be punished rather easily.

I don't want Notts to become a team whereby we are dirty or aggressive, I just want to see closer marking and better pressing off the ball when we are trying to retain it. What about you?

Trialist Liam Walker, a Gibraltar international is being linked with a move to Notts but who is he? He's a 29 year old centre midfielder, who can list Portsmouth(when in league 1), Lincoln Red Imps, Europa Fc among his ex clubs. He's a similar player to Jorge Grant who he will likely provide competion for. A look at his Lincoln Red Imps career shows 43 games 23 goals and at Europa FC 26 games 15 goals. What's he done at Notts over the last two games? The quality of Forest stopped us from seeing how he was against them. Against Wigan he played some good football (as did Notts on the whole) tried to get some shots away, they was blocked alot of the time. 

As Leigh Curtis has alluded to it being an experienced centre half who do we think it will be and who would you like.

I'll go for Mike Williamson for both.

I asked on Twitter, so there's a fairly good start, but I thought I would ask here too. Shoot away folks!

We have already.....

Drissa Traore
Will Hayhurst
Billy Daniels
Civard Sprockel
Kyle da Silva
Carl Regan
David Bell
Adam Coombes

Throw them at me....

Does anyone actually care about the squad numbers? I find it interesting to see what changes but its not that big. Who could seriously be hassling the club to release them?!?!

On the back of @TheFostarr94's article.

I thought I would open a constructive discussion based on Haydn Hollis and what fans think of him, along with if he deserves a new contract. He's a player I don't think people realise how hard he works, as his dedication does deserve praise but he does seem easily picked out for making mistakes.

The goal we conceded against Crewe wasn't solely his fault, although he shouldn't run or play above his ability - certainly he should avoid using his weaker foot.

Yet in recent weeks people praised him, only to revert to singling him out.

Thoughts?

despite the size issue i think the shirts are quality.

i plan to buy the blue shirt soon as i really like it. has anyone else purchased multiple shirts? which have you got?

I thought it would be interesting to see where fans here felt Notts would finish.

Hey all,

As we approach the 2017/18 season, we are preparing to provide the most comprehensive and high quality coverage possible for Notts.

We want to take Pride of Nottingham to the next level, and as always, we want to keep our content free for all fans to enjoy as they please.

Ahead of the new campaign, we have launched the Pride of Nottingham Donation Drive, to help us with increasing costs of upkeep and to enable us to deliver even more regular and more high-quality content.

We are delighted with the initial response so far, but if you are in a position where you enjoy what we have been doing and feel like helping us out with a donation - if you want, of course - you'll enable us to reach our goals much quicker.

Derek Pavis was Notts County chairman between 1987 and 2000, and during that time he made plenty of shrewd signings which brought the club a lot of success.

Sad news today from the world of rock as it's been confirmed that Linkin Park lead singer Chester Bennington has passed away.

Linkin Park were the band that got me into rock and metal when I was a youngster - about 11/12 years old. I remember flicking through the music channels on TV one day and coming across One Step Closer, and I was just blown away by what I was listening to.

Needless to say, Chester and his gang were a huge part of my childhood, not only through their music but also for having opened my eyes (and ears) to some fantastic rock and metal both coming out at the time and also music from years gone by. I would have never discovered the likes of Metallica, Slayer, Pantera, Deicide, Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath and so on were it not for the captivating sounds of LP.

I'm too young to remember the passing of Kurt Cobain, but many fans of Nirvana and rock in general from the generation above me have never quite got over it. Now I know how that feels - not only with Chester but also with Chris Cornell, who also passed this year.

RIP Chester. You will be missed.

As a huge fan of all kinds of music from all across the years, I can be listening to something from just a few years ago on YouTube, or compilations from 1920s music and everything in between.

In the comments section there's ALWAYS someone saying "aww the (decade) seemed like such a great decade to live in", to which someone would undoubtedly reply "ah but you're viewing it through rose-tinted spectacles, it wasn't all that" and so on and so on.

Which made me think - what do you think was the best decade to live in in the UK (or whichever country you live/d in)?

I'll give my personal opinion in the comments - let's hear yours, and give reasons why.

Please please don't sign him, he is absolute sh1te, he couldn't score in a brothel with a £50 note strapped to his apendage, I'd rather have Steve Scoffam back instead of him.

Whomever told him he's a pro footballer should be done under the trade descriptions act

Hi all,

As you will no doubt have seen, things have changed recently around the Pride of Nottingham website.

Although in appearance the difference is quite subtle, the site has actually had a fairly big upgrade. This means that over the next few days, maybe even weeks, there might be the odd issue with regards to how the site operates.

Whilst I oversee the changes and ensure that the site continues to run at a satisfactory level, I would like to ask members and visitors to be please be patient and to help by reporting things directly to me.

I advise all members who use their mobiles or tablets to browse PON, that Tapatalk is awaiting release for the upgrade and that no timescale by them has been given. Please use your mobile browser to use the site in the meantime.

I think you will find that it’s actually a very good alternative, but if you have any concerns or problems – please bring them to my attention.

Regards,
Chris
