Jimmy Sirrel Stand    Mansfield Town

I've been keeping an eye on their signings, and to be fair they've made some decent signings. 

Just signed Krystian Pearce, rumoured for Ben Davies and of course signed Matty Green and Westcarr. It could be a decent season for them. 

Pearce could be a very decent signing if they somehow manage to sort out his concentration. If he didn't spend so much time counting butterflies or whatever he does when he switches off, he could still have a very decent career. I can remember when he was with us, someone said something along the lines of 'for 85 minutes per game, he's one of the best players on the park, then for 5 minutes at least, he totally switches off, practically scoring them a couple of goals, and loses the game for us'. Hopefully they can nail down this issue, and he'll do very well for them.

Davies would be another good signing for them, although Pompy seem to be interested and you would assume he'd chose them over Mansfield, no disrespect intended. He's knocking on a bit now, but his set piece delivery alone will score them a few points in the league. Earlier on in the transfer window I thought he would've been a good signing for us, I still think he would be, but maybe would be a bit overkill in the middle of the park, Moniz wouldn't want him on the wing (never had pace - he's now older).

Green is gonna be hit or miss. He's scored 1 goal in the league, and spent last 2 years out injured. If he can come back close to the player he was, he could be a real goalscoring menace in this league. 

Westcarr is still only 30. When he was with us, a lot of people complained about him being lazy. If you take a look back at that trophy winning season, especially in the second half of it, Westcarr plays very well. Some of his balls into the box are delightful.


I've had a flick through their forums and some of them are.... well, bitter about us, or deluded. However, I wish them a very good season (except when they play us of course), it wasn't that great seeing them in the conference.

Granny Pie's General Discussion    The Americanisation of our language

I'm sure we've touched on this before but we have lots more readers now so worth mentioning again.

 

I have noticed that our language is slowly becoming Americanised, is this a good thing or a bad thing?

 

The other day on a thread @notts-joe referred to a movie, now when I was a lad it was a film which you saw at the pictures.

 

Other examples:

 

Biscuits have become cookies

Mum or mam has become mom.
Nappies are swiftly becoming diapers.
Sweets have become candies.

 

I'm sure there are lots of other examples, have you noticed any? Is it a bad thing or don't you care?

For me...

Injury free.... a good workout... more cohesion... the keeper and defence tested... goals up front.

Thoughts?

Jimmy Sirrel Stand    Stanley Aborah

Not confirmed yet, but I think RT has already said we are just waiting on the paperwork.

This signing worries me a little. We are not exactly light in the CM department, and although this guy has played for Ajax, he has also played for Gillingham in L2 and made 1 appearance before being released. 

Bit harsh to judge a player before he's signed, but....Mark Fotheringham v2?

Granny Pie's General Discussion    One way trip to Mars?

I heard an interview this morning with a man who is on a short list of 100 to go in a one way trip to Mars to set up a community on the planet.

Would you want to go knowing the risks and that you will never see your family again?

Granny Pie's General Discussion    Playground for dogs?

The good people of Rushcliffe have raised £3,000 to create a playground for dogs including see saws, tunnels etc.,

What do you think of this?

Apologies to any dog owners but I do think SOME owners go over the top with their dogs and treat them like children. Ridiculous.

Jimmy Sirrel Stand    Italian Magpies on Football League website

The Football League have featured the Italian Magpies on their website following Notts County's surge to the top of the Stand Up and Be Counted table.


 


---


 


Notts County have the largest support in any one country across the Stand Up & Be Counted representation map, thanks to some Italian friends.

 

The fanbase, known as the Italian Magpies, have already helped County rack up more than 6,000 submissions on the club leaderboard. More than half of those who have registered their support for the Meadow Lane outfit are based in Italy, and that is down to a strong, long-standing relationship with a certain European giant - Juventus.

It's great to see the IM get recognition for their role and contribution to the Notts fan scene. If we hold on to secure top place, it'll make national news. Would be absolutely fantastic for everyone at Meadow Lane :)

I am really getting excited about the coming season, I've not felt like this pre-season for a long time. Even my red mates haven't got a bad thing to say about it, I'm sure there's even a small amount of envy when we compare our signings 😉 anyway, COYP! !!!

Jimmy Sirrel Stand    Ticket Prices...

Question for @RayTrew.


Have the board set a 'on the gate' pricing structure as of yet? What processes do you need to go through to come up with the charge per person? eg Does the drop to League 2 play heavily on the decision?

Two names being mentioned by the Red Rag as possible Notts Targets.


 


I'm not 100% sold on Burke, but I guess it depends on wage demands.


 


Of course I don't know much of Valencic, so will be interested if this one comes off

Granny Pie's General Discussion    Nottinghamshire PCSO's

Around 70 Nottinghamshire Police Community Support Officers jobs are threatened in cutbacks proposed by the Council, their union is circulating a petition and asking people to sign it and pledge to pay an extra £5 on their council tax.

What do you think, do PCSO's do a good job? Should we pay an extra £5 a year to keep the 70 at threat?
