Can anyone remember this? If memory serves me right in the old days when Radio Red only had one wavelength 103.8 they used to cover Notts and Forest matches alternately I think they did live commentary on whoever was at home and score flashes on the away team. They suddenly decided to stop doing commentary on Notts games altogether, this as you can imagine caused uproar amongst Notts fans, I remember sending a letter of protest of myself. It was the days before fan websites/forums but the Notts County Mailling list were very active in organising a "Boycott Radio Nottingham" campaign, there were car stickers printed, I've still got mine somewhere "I'm boycotting Radio Nottingham" which I put in my car, lots of Notts fans did the same.

Eventually due to the pressure from the fans the new wavelength was created 95.5 and this became our wavelength for home and away games. Hence from then on I always referred to them as Radio Red.

Anyone else remember this, have I remembered it correctly?

Notts reached third in October but who scored PON's goal of the month?

So, proudly onwards following the late win at Scunthorpe.  Having been on the end of costly late goals at Preston and Bristol City (h) this season, it was sweet and pleasing to see the characters reversed on Saturday.

Walsall always invokes memories of Fellows' Park and David Kelly to me - notoriously 1988ish when Barnwell's team choked around easter and lost in the playoffs to the Kelly inspired Saddlers.  Spoilt my pre-teen years, that did - and he then turned up at Forest!

Anyway - players to link the two clubs should be plentiful.  I will start with 2 players, a striker we bought for £225k and ended up using him as a RB - and a RB / CB that is best remembered by most for a drug-related terrance chant....

Kevin Wilson and Charlie Palmer were released by County and both popped up at Walsall, where they played key roles in a promotion campaign.  (just as we tumbled towards them during the "kendall' year".

Loads more, so over to you...

Stuart Pearce yet to decide if Stephen McLaughlin's Notts County loan will be extended

Nottingham Forest manager Stuart Pearce has yet to decide whether Stephen McLaughlin's loan spell at Notts County will be extended.

The winger's month-long stint across the River Trent is set to end after the Magpies' Sky Bet League One fixture against Walsall at Meadow Lane on Saturday.

McLaughlin has made a big impact at Notts, making five league starts, as Shaun Derry's side have climbed up to third in the table. The 24-year-old also scored in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy win at Scunthorpe this month.

Pearce said: "We will have a look at it and, if we feel that Steve can come back in and add to the squad, we will bring him back, if that is the proper thing to do.

 

"If we feel as though his experience, at this moment in his career, is best suited by playing at Notts County, we will make that decision. We will decide that over the weekend."

This is about Nottingham Forest but involves Stephen McLaughlin.

Just noticed the pic you posted over on mad.

Two points of interest.

1 the guy sat near you looks right fed up with your drumming skills. Looks like he is about to shove your drum stick where the sun ain't shining!!!

2 is that the fiver you are soon to be dispatching over to the UK in your hand?

Hearing reports about an earthquake in Notts the epicentre around Hucknall. We didn't feel a thing, anyone else notice anything?

Well in about an hour setting off for Skeg. Should be able to keep posting (just not as regular during the day due to the rides!) as the log cabin we're in has internet hopefully. Hope everyone has a good week and 3 points on Saturday. (Got puffin browser on the mobile so magpie player will work. One secret headphone in he ear under the hat and the wife will never notice - until we score and I start cheering. She'll think I've gone mad!)

Best wishes one and all.

There's a programme called Pre Match on Radio Red tonight and Mark Stallard is a guest it might be interesting if anyone can tune in I think it's 6-7pm.

Thoughts?

I try very hard to make signatures stand out, this might not seem as "flash" but I had a lot of fun making it. It's certainly more creative than it seems but I do like playing around with PS.

Hopefully HD and others like it, I wouldn't be disheartened if not.

For those who haven't seen it.

Random question, just for a bit of a fun really. If you could go back and re-visit one game, be it a Notts game or a game you saw on TV, whatever, which would it be and why? We've all seen some crackers over the years so come on, if you could go back and sit through ONE game again, what would it be?

And yet another new member-@allardyces tash.Glad to see you're already posting.

Good old Kasper had the cross bar height checked ahead of Leicesters defeat by the hands of Swansea.



Very amusing story, surely he can tell the difference being stuck between the posts. I would have thought clubs would check to make sure everything was okay when they visit, so this is just very odd.
 

 

The Blue Army's travelling support was treated to the peculiar sight of officials checking the size of the goalposts ahead of City's Premier League clash with Swansea at the weekend.
 

And City stopper Kasper Schmeichel may well have considered having checked again as the Foxes went down 2-nil to their Welsh rivals, courtesy of two goals in either half from Ivorian striker Wilfried Guemiand.
 

During their pre-match warm-up at the Liberty Stadium, City's goalkeeping team became suspicious that the goals were too big and raised the issue with officials.
 

However, a quick check confirmed their height at the regulation eight feet and the game kicked off as scheduled.
 

Speaking after the game, manager Nigel Pearson said: "The keepers felt they looked big. Garry Monk's had enough controversy recently, so it was prudent to check it out, it was quite light-hearted."

Thoughts?

so should zeli ismail be sent back to his parent club?

i think we could still do with him myself, i do not see wolves needing him but i see @notts-joe and @hissingdwarf are having this debate.

This is a fantastic story on the official site about the £10,000 lifeline winner who is partially sited and listens to Uncle Colin on the radio these days as he can't get to the matches very often.

It's a real heartwarming story and I urge you to watch the video of the cheque being presented to him by Colin, Les Bradd and Shaun Derry, it will bring a tear to your eye and a lump to your throat. What a great club we have.

Ok, so I know I'm a miserable old bugger and I've probably posted this every year since joining this forum but the fireworks have started already round here, why are shops allowed to sell them so early and why is it now referred to as "Firework Season" when I was a lad it was bonfire NIGHT, ok we might have let some off a few days before but not weeks before and weeks after.

As we have at least 2 songs for Shaun Derry I reckon it would be good if we could have one for our Gregory, please please lets have lots of suggestions and or changes to proposed songs 

Now as a precursor, I am not musical in any which way other than I like to listen to it!!

Having said that my offering would be, the following, the reasons for this is that I believe he looks like the man from Tetley 

We have the man from Tetley, we have the man from Tetley,

The man from Tetley is our Gregory

Gregory Gregory Abbott

It's Alan Smiths birthday today, he signed 5 days after mine and 2 days after my dads.

I hope other members will join me in wishing him a happy birthday, he is a good player to have at the club. I hope he has a good birthday, it would be nice to see him return to action.

Happy Birthday Alan Smith

I hope he has found the one.
