Would new owners be able to drive Notts forward? Is it time for the Trews to sell up if this season doesn't measure well in terms if success?

The more I read, the more I feel we need a fresh direction and a board without a split fan base. I appreciate what the Trews have done but I don't see how they will move us forward. If we don't see success on the field, I do feel they should weigh this up themselves because they are likely unable to make back what they have put in.

Time for a frank and serious discussion about the current owners. Discuss people!

With the men's team in the basement division and the ladies team seemingly doing very well coupled with cheaper admission to watch them, I wouldn't be surprised to see the ladies getting more attend some of their matches than the men get in some of theirs.

Thoughts?

With all the new signings I decided to have a look at the current odds for us to win the league or get promoted. 

I got 23-1 for champions and 6-1 for promotion.

Worth a quick tenner and may come in handy if we win the league!

The squad numbers for the new season.

Who would you name as your favourite player from the last five years?

I would name Alan Judge.

He was a great signing for Notts and a player we should have made money from. In the updates I used to check, his name always stood out and we just can't get that type of quality now.

Yours?

I read on PONs FB page that Notts are now top, what do you make of this?

It's good to see Notts fans encouraging support, if fans are buying merchandise even better and credit must go to all involved in promoting and pushing it.

Does anyone know when it ends?

COYP!

What an evening it's been - already England Women reached the second round of the World Cup, and they've only gone one better by beating Norway and making the quarter-finals!

Now, England have technically reached the quarters before, but in the past the competition was smaller and the second round was effectively the last eight. 

So, they've made history today, by beating a pretty good and highly-fancied Norway side 2-1 - and how good was Lucy Bronze's goal?! Absolute thunderbolt that will certainly be shown on the various social media channels in a few hours!

Could this be the best England Women side we've ever had?

The Flying Dutchman will sign today according to Radio Nottingham. And 4 other players may sign before the weekend.

Just set up on Facebook:

Free monthly publication, starting in August. Should be fun.

Is anyone else concerned about the lack of transfer news coming from Notts, the best the media team could do yesterday was post a video of Trev the groundsman on his sit on mower.

Come on Notts give us something to discuss on here.

Having just got back from holiday in France with lot of time spent on the beach I was horrified to see the news of the holiday makers slaughtered whilst enjoying their holiday.

How can any human being have such a low regard for another innocent humans life? When will this madness end?

I find it so depressing.

which player do you think is the best signing so far?

i assume gill swerts will be popular, yet for me i am more impressed with scott bennet and i hope he gets chance to prove himself with us. we require a cb who can lead and partner hollis, so for me its him.

What do you make of the supposed decision by Forest to cancel playing us in a friendly to celebrate their 150th year anniversary? Supposedly @erindoors reached an agreed mutually at a Football  League conference and after being asked to move the game to a Tuesday, it's since come out that Forest have no plans to play Notts.

In principle the attendance money is also claimed to have been set to 50/50.

@jsrjay

Should Forest explain themselves? Opinions?

So i thought i'd start a topic about my Team over here. I'm now in love with them as much as i am with Notts County FC:

Here is a Little Break down on our Little Football Team.

Hello folks, and welcome to the ninth episode of Pride of Nottingham’s PONcast, Notts County's number one podcast.

In today’s instalment we begin by discussing Notts County’s new shirt sponsor with Ladbrokes that chairman Ray Trew has previously described as “the biggest in the club’s history”. Next we touch on the Magpies’ pre-season friendly against Scunthorpe United, the first and potentially only one to be played at Meadow Lane this summer, before moving on to the allegedly broken promise of a fixture against Nottingham Forest.

We then check out the latest offerings on the transfer rumour mill, with supposed moves for ex-Newcastle United striker Adam Campbell and former Feyenoord right-sided player Gill Swerts on the cards.

And in terms of any other business, we find out what the members of the PON community deem the club’s best foreign player, we look at where Notts are ranked among the Football League’s most supported teams overseas.

Found this YouTube channel on football, they do lots of videos on derbies, tactics, fans etc all sorts. Thought people might find it interesting!

Our BT contract for TV, phone and Broadband has expired, I tried to get a better deal out of them but despite lengthy negotiations they dropped my bill by a measly £4 (final offer), so I started looking round, as luck would have it a Virgin Media man knocked at the door while I was fast asleep in the garden the other day. Mrs. H answered the door and said "Oh I think my husband might want to talk to you". so she roused me from my slumber and I went to the door my brain still befuddled by sleep, the Virgin media man looked relieved when I didn't turf him out on his ear because he had been studying our sign which says "no unwanted callers" (not that anyone takes any notice of the damn thing anyway).

I had a long chat with him and Virgin Media are offering me a lot better deal, so I was very interested. The only downside is that we when we moved to our present abode three years ago we wanted to have Virgin Media because we had it at our other house but despite going through all the motions and despite the cable being less than 100 feet from our property they decided that they couldn't do it, so you understand I am a little dubious that this present deal will go through, I explained all this to the chap at the door and he said that there was no harm trying again because things might have changed in the three years.

I am keeping my fingers crossed because although BT hasn't been too bad, I think the cable service is a lot faster and more reliable as we are some distance from the telephone exchange and that has an affect on our broadband speed and Virgin are a lot cheaper.

He's phoned up today and given us an installation date but says it is dependent on a survey being carried out. Hmmm, I wonder if I can bribe the bloke who does the survey?

Watch this space!

Reported by NEP:

 

Notts County are considering a move for Belgian international Gill Swerts as their search for talent moves across Europe.

The Magpies are understood to be seriously interested in the midfielder, who is currently a free agent after leaving NAC Breda following relegation from the Dutch top flight, the Eredivisie, last season.

Swerts can also play right-back and is believed to know boss Ricardo Moniz from his time in Holland, where he has played for a string of top sides.

Having started his career at Feyenoord, the 32-year-old enjoyed loan spells at Excelsior and ADO Den Haag before permanently moving to Vitesse in 2005.

Sounds promising. I'm glad Moniz is getting to use his European links.

Hi @miniature maker that is a strange user name, please come and tell us the story behind it.

Hi, I'll only post this link once but if anyone is interested here is a Notts County page I've just built for a football website:

A 2 Yr deal plus opening a 'retail opportunity outlet' (in other words a bookies!) at the Lane.

Well done Notts. Lots of red splashed on our shirts now though!

Ladbrokes, one of the world’s leaders in the betting and gaming industry and Notts County Football Club today announce a new two-year shirt sponsorship deal...

With several European based players rumoured to be linked with our club. I would like to know your thoughts on the men who have served us well in the past.

Who would you name as the best ‪Notts‬ County foreign import of all time?

Two more new members for us to welcome to PoN.So,hello @Lizzy and hello @Tony.Please join in the fun.Why not tell us a bit about yourselves.Enjoy!

Leave your thoughts whether we should have more chants like Wheelbarrow to get the Lane buzzing

It's being reported that our cult hero (was he a cult hero for us?) is being heavily linked with several League One teams and is set to leave, now this isn't news to me. I had been told very early on, that Bajner wanted to play above League Two and that he was set to refuse signing a new contract.

No major disappointment but I do feel he could have done very well within the basement of English football.

It means we require two strikers however, both of which need to be strong and able to score goals. If I was Moniz I would have tried convincing Bajner his future was at our club and a short stint in League Two would have done him the world of good but as it stands, it seems Oldham or another club will snap him up.

Thoughts?
