Just noticed this via the Notts County wall, was it presented before the match Saturday? Looks like some good news which was 'lost' among the other stuff Saturday.

Can't find more info on the PFA site, perhaps PoN could contact Genaro to ask about the work he has been doing?

Congratulation on the award Genaro.

Yes it started badly.....9am watching Notts on the internet getting stuffed by Exeter.

1pm picked up Dr Miriam from the bus station.......restaurant and a few beers......things are obviously improving.

Bought a few bales of hay, 40 kg of chicken food and 40kg of dog food on the way home.

Several beers in the garden..............5pm a huge thunderstorm, wow........RAIN..... sheep and goats are dancing.......I am literally jumping up and down with delight.......can it get better?

Miriam cooks dinner....then drags me into bed for a quick 1-hours "nap".........now I am beginning to think I am dreaming.....a "nap" at 7pm.....yum yum

Now she is sound asleep and snoring..................I log in...................... and find that George Formby is back plying his trade in Great Yarmouth!!!......I start laughing and cheering!!

Oh lordy lordy.....things don't get much better.....I am in heaven......I think I need another beer.

Is anyone going to this? An audience with Mike Edwards, Roy Carroll and Alan Smith on the 31/03/16. £5 a ticket inc free pint! I've bought a ticket looks a good night, hopefully everyone's still in good spirits by then. 

BBC are reporting that Mr T has agreed a deal in principle with the american consortium but are saying he has a meeting with a Chinese geezer on Tuesday.

I don't like the sound of a 'consortium' taking over at Notts, they might have money but be right idiots and have no clue about football, I'd much rather have Alan Hardy who care about notts and would care about the fans!

For anyone who hasn't seen it...................https://www.facebook.com/BBCNottinghamSport/?fref=ts

Scroll down until you find it.....his first comment "I'm not a fan of huge squads, but I have to work with it.....for now"

Who's listening?

So far Colin Slater has said Jamie Fullarton wasn't aware he would be sacked, yet his position was in question after what he described as one of the worst performances throughout his years as the Notts manager.

A fan has called in and said that signing Alan Sheehan was a mistake and that he doesn't feel it was the wrong decision to sack JF.

Now that everyone has a "fresh start" under Cooper who's going to step up and stake claim to a place in the starting line up. So many players have played well in the reserves only to not be given a chance in the match day squad now this is their opportunity to step up and stake claim to a place in our team. I know every manager says "clean slate" and whether they mean it or not are two different things. Now hopefully a few of the following Snijders, Aborah, Sharpe, Atkinson and even Sarpong can step up and prove other managers wrong..

On a lighter note , caught my 8 year old setting up a Notts County team on FIFA 16

His team ?

Carroll, Adams, Mackenzie,Hollis, Hewitt 

Burke , Milsom , Aborah, Burns (some guy on loan apparently)

Stead, McLeod 

says they are doing well ????????????

Apparently on twitter? Rumour from Leigh Curtis.....anyone heard this?

I do not expect answers but I will post them out of curiousity. If @erindoors is kind enough to answer great, if not I won't twice about it.

Are you and Ray hoping the clubs sale is sorted before the end of the season? What is the current stage at? I know this is sensitive.

I have noticed comments on social media Ray's car has been vandalised, is this true and was it done on the day of the protests?

Do you think this will be it in terms of football for you and Ray, do you feel bitter about some fans at all?

What are your personal proudest moments from your term at Notts?

Will you still keep in touch with friends and people you have gotten to know?

I hope you dont resent the club or the proper supporters, we get tired at times and vent frustration. This should be ignored if it is not abusive, so like I say I hope you dont leave feeling bitter but remember fans have been there for you.

Not only a new manager, but a new CEO for #notts. He's Jason Turner, formerly of Newport and Plymouth.

Jamie Fullerton sacked, BBC nottingham sport on twitter

Just wondering if this has been done before where a manager needs to get a certain amount of points before being offered a longer contract? It feels like nothings ever done simple at Notts and just seems on the surface like it's an added complication.

Please do have a browse through the pictures, the gallery includes several members of PON - along with many, many followers. It's always good to see the NCFC community. You will see that the aftermath was just a exchange of opinions, there was nothing at all abusive or anger shown. Fans simply wanted to voice their feelings!

Name three teams you recall playing at a much higher level, ones who you believe should still be there.

1. Preston
2. Wrexham
3. Bradford

By all six I mean 1st,2nd,3rd,3rd north,3rd south and 4th.

Now the previous question the other way round. Which clubs have appeared in only 1 division in their entire football league history?

(I count AFC Wimbledon as a continuation of the 'old' Wimbledon so they don't count. The word 'club' will always excluded franchises as far as I'm concerned.)

Saturday's Fixtures:
Bristol City v Bolton Wanderers
Leeds United v Huddersfield Town
Millwall v Sheffield United
Oldham Athletic v Rochdale
Barnet v Oxford United
Mansfield Town v Portsmouth

Game 37 - The Grecians (H)

Team: Exeter City

Date: 19/03/16

Where: Meadow Lane

What line-up should Jamie Fullarton 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'm not sure if many people have seen them but Notts TV did exclusive interviews with both loach and Fullerton, I'm not sure if this is a regular thing but I've never seen them before so I thought I would share!

Notts TV also do 'fanzone' and 'prozone' on where they discuss the ones over the Trent, us and the ones down the road, Charlie/ian Mcpartland (I'm not sure which people call him or why) is also on there, I don't normally watch notts TV so I'm not too sure how many other notts fans do but sometimes there is some decent stuff on there!

Hello everyone!

I felt I had lurked around PON, leeching information and insight from the landing page and the forums while contributing nothing myself, for well long enough. So I decided to join up, top up the donations, and write something relevant about myself and the club we're all here to discuss. Here goes.

My father is Italian. His name is Giovanni. Go figure.

His father was also Italian. Very Italian. The kind of very Italian that borders on offensive in that I firmly believe the bulk of modern Italian stereotypes to be based on him personally. In any event, when I was young and he would come to visit his son and his very not Italian wife Debs (dear old mom), he and my father would chat football. Extensively. And during their discussions, my grandfather would make references (rarely mind you) to something he called "quella vecchia signora". This precipitated more impassioned football talk. Naturally.

These are Italians after all.

When I got older, I learned that "quella vecchia signora" translates approximately to something along the lines of "that old lady" or "that old girl". He was, of course, referring to Notts County. I never talked about the club much with him when he was with us. Possibly not at all. He was too busy tousling hair, being obnoxiously overbearing about school, and reinforcing (in his own subtle way) the importance of understanding football by examining it through the lense of his beloved Bianconeri. Always and forever. Juventus for life.

As a Magpie fan, I'm sure you've now made the connection. Unfortunately for his legacy, my interest in Juventus... and football in general... waned and eventually all but disappeared; replaced by a real personal investment in distinctly more Canadian sports like hockey. This all changed when we moved to England and Belgium for a good long spell; over half a decade bouncing between the two in order to keep up with my father's business. This was the time when English "town" football (no big top tier clubs) became so very important to me.

Well over a decade on, I am not joking when I say that I have memorized, conservatively speaking, 90% or more of the Definitive Notts County. And I rarely miss a game. I listen in online of course; good vibrations in my ears while watching my kids play on Saturday mornings. My daughter Kate is becoming quite the little footballer. Her favorite "grown up" possession is a signed glossy of Alex Greenwood her mother and I had framed for her. She's gone and hung it over her bed. Hence my avatar.

These kids are almost at the age when a real understanding of quella vecchia signora, that old lady, is something I'll be passing on to them.

I don't post much these days. About anything. Work governs, and time with my family is my respite. And when I do write something, I like it to be thoughtful and I want it to make an impact on whoever reads it. So I will sum up with this; the present condition of our club is only meaningful in the context of how that condition affects the angle of our discourse and what future prospects we lean toward encouraging the pursuit of. What drives us to love our club is something far less contemporary. More primal. And unshakable.

Quella vecchia signora will rise again. Of this I am certain. Her present condition will simply make the journey all that much more bumpy. And exciting. I hope Jamie can squeeze some solid performances out of what one of the other PON posters here referred to as "our strongest 11" in the coming matches, and I also hope that the club after Trew will find its footing and re-establish itself as a strong FL staple and campaign contender. I really like PON. Great work here. And I wish you all the best going into Saturday against Grecians and beyond.

Cheers, and good times ahead!

No, not about Jamie's standing amongst the Notts faithful but on more serious matters

I know Stuart left his media job at Notts just recently. What I didn't realise was this piece he had written for the Post. It takes a great deal of ***** to stand up and say you have a problem. I sincerely hope he gains meaningful employment soon. 

This is the highlight of the sporting year for me, always a terrific atmosphere and the Champions League of the National Hunt world spread over four fantastic days.  I've been every year since 1981 apart from the abandoned foot and mouth epidemic year, and wouldn't miss it for the world.  

Any other racing fans on here who have been or are going?

The next round of the Europa League has been drawn and it's Liverpool v Dortmund. Who else saw that coming? The football gods love that sort of stuff. That may well be the end of the road for the reds.

On a side note, I have just booked a short break in Liverpool with the missus on the very day that BVB come to town. I'm not sure whether this is a good or a bad thing!
