What does being a family club mean? Does anyone else see this being our best recruiting system?

I personally feel quite proud that we have a strong family 'feel' to Meadow Lane and Notts, I know the majority of clubs also respect this because it really is imprinted into the Black & White way of life but some feel it's just a 'gimmick', which I completely disagree with because without being 'family friendly', we would have fewer younger fans and for me this is our best recruiting system.

The club offered free season tickets to certain age groups and the u16's pretty much paid for themselves if you consider the free programme each home game.


 

Today is our 'Meet the fans'  presenters birthday so please join me and wish Cobby a very happy birthday.I hope you have a good one.

So, who do think should be named in the running for the MOTM?

I'll give this two/three days, before I put up a poll. Please name 4-6 members who you feel deserves to be named the 'Member of the Month'. Who do we start with? Please do have a go at naming some of our finest contributors.

If possible as early as possible.

Thanks folks!

The NCFCOSA have raised £1,300 for the NCFC Academy.

Quite the sum to help progress the development of the youngsters progressing through the ranks. It will no doubt help enhance and help the Academy, so this is great news for Notts fans. What do you think?
 

"Over the course of the 2014/2015 season we have been actively raising funds, just like we did last year for the Notts County Academy. I am pleased to inform fans that the Official Association has managed to raise over £1,300 which are finalizing with the Academy before handing over a check on the 24^th of January ahead of our home game against Peterborough United".

Art of Football have released a new range of Notts designs and T-Shirts folks!

You can read about it - Here

Additionally, they have provided us with two t-shirts! I will be giving one a way via our social pages, the remaining t-shirt will be given to the winner of our community contest.

Two medals which belonged to the famous Iremonger brothers are set to be auctioned on June 11.


Does anyone else think Notts having a museum would be a great thing? Or perhaps safely kept around the inside of the Pavis Stand?

From Scunthorpe to Colchester, any of these 8 teams could still go down. Here's the fixtures for next Saturday:

 

Coventry vs Crewe. Neither side is safe. Coventry need at least 1 more point so they will be going for it. I don't see Crewe getting anything from the game. 2-1.

 

Fleetwood vs Colchester. Fleetwood have nothing to play for. Colchester need a win, I don't see them getting it. 1-1.

 

Leyton Orient vs Sheffield Utd. Sheffield Utd will want to finish 5th so I can see them going for it here. Leyton Orient were one of the favourites for promotion at the start of the season. A draw me thinks. 1-1.

 

Notts County vs Doncaster. Donny are gone on their holidays already. Home win. 1-0.

 

Peterborough vs Crawley. Posh have nothing to play for but who knows which Posh turn up. I think it will be bad Posh. 1-2.

 

Scunthorpe vs Gillingham. Scunthorpe are almost safe, but Gillingham will show up even though they have nothing to play for. Still think the Irons will prevail. 2-1.

 

Yeovil vs Port Vale. Yeovil are actually playing better since they were relegated and I think they will continue that trend here. 2-1.

 

So by my reckoning, Notts will be out of the relegation zone going into the last game.

I thought it was interesting what Jimmy Spencer said after the match, he said he was 100% certain we would get two wins and stay up, no shadow of doubt. (Not sure about that Jimmy!)

More interestingly he said it wasn't nice in the dressing room, people were throwing bottles about and arguing and it shows they care.

What do you think about this is it good they are arguing amongst themselves? Or does it show dis-unity.

It looks like our owners landed himself in a spot of trouble water, £600 is hardly much to a man of his standard.

What do you make of this? http://www.lincolnshireecho.co.uk/Ex-Lincoln-City-board-member-Ray-Trew-fined-600/story-26325560-detail/story.html

I was going to start a thread on League Two, but scrubbed it. We'll have plenty of time to think about that when/if the time comes. We have three more matches, the next two at home. Time to roar on the boys, in the hope we can muster enough points to limp over the line.

 

I've found a good calculator for predicting the remaining games - http://www.thefishy.co.uk/calculator1.php - give it a go, and be honest. Will we stay up? How many points will be enough?

 

I had my optimistic hat on, predicting two draws in the next two games and a final day win at Gillingham, but with my prediction even 52 points has us on our way to Exeter

I am Andy, life long Notts fan.

My lad has also joined the site, he's @NCRichie. We have finally joined on the recommendation of Joe

Hi all. Just a quick hello to start off with.

Great holiday in Ireland. One of the best in fact. Will do a full report later in the week and post a few pics. 

Glad to see the magpies are doing well in my absence. Not.

 

Absolutely knackered though as driving from West coast of Ireland through the day to ferry, then Holyhead to Nottm is tiring to say the least!

 

When I'm fully with it i'll update all.

 

Nice to be back and hope all is well with everyone.

Our game in hand. Both sides desperate for the points for different reasons. We drew up there earlier in the season. They haven't closed out their last 2 games despite being the better side so we have hope.

1-2 I reckon. Can't see us getting anything. They are a much better side.

Hello,

Big pop punk fan here as the username probably suggests, I also attend the majority of Notts home games. I'm looking forward to sharing my opinion and discussing matters.

Its almost the end of this season, its looks like we may have another nervous last game to decide our fate. My question is what do you do out of season?

Aston Villa: Jack Grealish's dad wore son's Wembley shirt to do the school run!

Jack Grealish’s proud dad Kevin wore the Aston Villa winger’s Wembley shirt to do the school run!

Grealish senior has been kitted out in the match-worn replica shirt all day today following Villa’s FA Cup semi-final victory over Liverpool.

He even bumped into Premier League referee Andre Marriner, believed to be a Villa fan, in the gym while he was wearing Jack’s shirt. Kevin revealed that he wanted to wear the 19-year-old’s top around Solihull to display his pride, before he gets the shirt framed.

He put it on this morning and wore it while he dropped Jack’s sisters Kiera, 13, and Holly, 11, off at school.

I have to say when I noticed Kevin's post about this, I smiled and said out loud 'I'd do the same thing'. What a fantastic relationship they have, I realize some will go on about 'showing off' but Kevin isn't like that. It's just good fun, combined with a little bit of banter. I would loved to have seen the baggies reaction or Brummy fans!! Haha

I have been busy with sending out exports that I have neglected my time on PON, Its been awhile but when I checked for updates recently it has been very quiet, very, very quiet in fact. I am pleased to see things returning back to how it should be!

Good stuff people and @notts-joe!

So what music do you all like?

@Super_Danny_Allsopp I noticed your pop punk comment, what bands do you like?

After missing the launch last week I popped to game and got myself a copy of GTA V for my laptop.

7 Discs to install and 60gb updates! wow.

Still installing now as I only started awhile ago, so I will have to reserve judgement, but looks superb from what i've seen so far.

Hope so as I tuck to my rule that if it's genuinely innovative or rewarding then I buy the original game. Normally I do this after downloading it first, but this time took the plunge straight away as I thought Rockstar deserved it for their efforts over the years. See I am an honest downloader!

 

Will give thoughts and reviews after the weekend when I've had a few hours on it!

 

If it all goes pear shaped tomorrow night I might end up playing that with Uncle Col muted in he background!!!

 

I dare you to be unimpressed!

Great music to this video btw. Anyone know what or who it is?

Welcome @28111862 @JimmysIncredible,

Thanks for taking the time to join us, two very interesting usernames. Care to tell us a little bit about yourself? I hope you both enjoy your time on here.

I saw Weymouth Pie posted a link to the song Enola Gay by OMD. It got me thinking, I love Synth Pop, easily my favourite music genre.

 

Here's one of the pioneering synth pop songs:
