The Rolling Stones released "Satisfaction" I heard it being played by my next door neighbour I lived in the meadows at the time, I was instantly hooked and have been ever since.

What memories do you have of your favourite group? When did you first hear their record?

With eleven new first year scholars added to the squad, the young 'Pies got off to a slow start to the season with decent performances without the necessary cutting edge with defeats at Doncaster (0-1) and Burton (0-2).

Last week in the first round of the League Cup they went through with a penalty from Jack McMillan and now face Oldham at home in round two.

Today's game saw Notts face Grimsby at Arnold Town's ground - with both teams looking for their first points of the season.  Notts were 'out of their blocks' the quicker of the two teams taking control of the game right from the off with some neat passing football.  The first goal came after only ten minutes when Notts' striker Montel Gibson was put through 'one-on-one' with the keeper before scoring.  Ten minutes later Notts improved their lead when a loose ball in the area was hammered home by Yohan Rutty-Smith.  On 33 minutes Jack McMillan put Notts 3-0 ahead with a fine right foot shot from about ten yards and that remained the score at half-time.

It was a very different story in the second half though with the visitors changing their formation and putting five players in midfield which put Notts under more pressure than they had been in the first half.  After a couple of errors in the Notts defence, they were forced to hang on for the last ten minutes to finally secure their first league win of the season 3-2.  Overall a good performance with almost half the team made up of first year scholars and one player from the under-16 team.

Just wondering what all your thoughts are on the match against Crawley having to be rearranged. Do we find it good or bad and why?

Morning all, I've got a bit of a thick head today (nothing new I hear you say) we went to our sons last night and Mrs H volunteered to drive so I let my hair down a bit as far as alcohol is concerned.

We had Tapas and Sangria, our lad is a pretty good cook and he didn't let us down it was lovely.

It's a lovely morning here and the forecast is good, so we might get out for a bike ride but first I've got to try and mend a puncture on Mrs H's bike.

Have a good day all.

Our best ever position was 3rd. We achieved that twice. Once in the 19th century and again in 1900 (I think).

What was our worst? 89th twice in the 2000s. Our recent bad run makes me wonder if we'll break the worst record this season. Surely not? Surely.....

let us start with news that Cheltenham Towns Whaddon Road ground is to be renamed "The World of Smile Stadium" for the next three years...

jeepers, they have to be kidding right...

off we go then, add to the list folks

We got Sheffield Utd away. That is the worst draw we could have got. Even their 2nd string is decent enough.

Morning all, no football today so what are you up to?

We haven't got much planned apart from tonight we will be going to our sons for tea, he wants to try his cooking skills on us. He's recently come back from holiday in France so it will be good to catch up with them.

He's promised us tapas but I thought they were a Spanish dish, oh well should be interesting, if you don't hear from me for a few days I've got gastro enteritis.

Good morning all, it seems very slow on here lately, are we all on holiday. Come on folks lets hear from you what are you up to today?

It's quite a bright morning here, we've just had our breakfast in the garden so its not too cold out there.

We have a wedding to go to today, the son of an old friend who I have known since he was a little boy and used to play with my two sons. Looking forward to catching up with a lot of old friends.

Hope you all have a good day.

Has now apparently left Ilkeston Town after a very short stay and signed for Worcester City, higher in the leagues I believe and probably nearer to where he lives.

Euro qualifying continues today. Wales are on the verge of qualifying. They are away to Cyprus tonight. Here's hoping they win. They haven't qualified for a major tournament since 1958. 

I know Mansfield made big changes last night but a win is a win isn't it?

I'm feeling happier, the defence seemed to cope pretty well apart from the late penalty it could have been a clean sheet, the midfield are creating chances galore and last night two strikers scored, so all in all it seems things are being to click.

What do others think?

Did anyone else get the email from Notts about a hospitality package, it was quickly recalled and followed by an apology because every bench members email address was showing.

I had to scroll through hundreds of email addresses to see the message. The club apologised on behalf of the board of directors and said it was an individual member of staff and retraining of all staff would be arranged.

Whoops, so much for data protection.

Does anyone have any useful suggestions for the site? Once I return from off my Holiday, I plan to implement some changes. Nothing major currently, for example I won't be reducing the forums because there's ways around visiting each - which are good solutions.

*Alternative skin (to be added - lo-fi version)

*Promoting features, how to remove sigs, make use of the settings etc.

Anything else?

Will Notts be up for this? can we get revenge? I am curious as to what will happen if we lose again, I know its early days and we need time but confidence will be at an all time low if we get beaten by our closest rivals again so soon.

 @PTID1862 Why didn't you warn us all you were in the midlands? We'd have kept off the roads!

Rush-hour traffic was disrupted after a lorry struck a bridge.

Police were called to the A606 Melton Road in Tollerton after the top of a truck is believed to have hit the bottom of the bridge.

Although the lorry pulled to one side of the road, it affected other traffic by causing a blockage to the road.

The incident happened just after 8am.

A Nottinghamshire Police spokesman said: "We were called just after 8am on Wednesday to the A606 Melton Road at Tollerton.

"A lorry struck a bridge, but has pulled to one side of the road."

Hi Folks,

It's September 1st so I begin thinking about football again, even though the cricket season isn't over yet.

What a summer, the Ashes won. @Blackville and I were lucky enough to see all the play at Trent Bridge, the first time I've been there when we actually won back the Ashes - and we were sitting next to all the Aussies!!

@Blackville gpot Stuart Broad's autograph all over the scorecard of the first Australian innings when SB took 8-15 and they were boewled out before lunch. A memory that will stay with me forever, especially as my Aussie mate was sitting next to me!!

Now for some rich entertainment in the winter months...

Rumoured to be coming back. 

Would you have him?

For me he's a very good player and his set pieces are good. However, looking at our squad, do we really need another left back? I know he did a job for us filling in at CB, but really he's a LB.
