  1. Listened to Colin and hardly heard them mentioned, Not their day today by the sounds of it.


  2. This can be quite the popular topic on other sites, I've been apart of gaming communities where responses reach 1,000. No it's not going to happen here! (least not anyway - one for the future) ;)

    Yet, It would be nice to see at least 10. I feel that's being fairly ambitious but you never know.

    If you can add a screenshot feel free, the simple way is copy and paste. Just check your profile to find the answer to this and see how prolific you're.

    Here's mine post-1-0-89931100-1391201768_thumb.png

    I have a lot of making up to do (it's correct - reason behind it is due to moving from an older version back when PoN was NCFS) :)

    So, how Prolific Are You?

  3. Sad news today, as Tony Hateley passed away, ironically in Preston, at the age of 72. One of the greatest players in the history of Notts County and a man who won many plaudits from many fans of many other clubs. I wasn't lucky enough to see him play, but by all accounts he was a true great.


     


    R.I.P Tony Hateley. Thoughts go out to his family and friends right now


  4. Tony Hateley has died aged 72.

    Gutted, can't say anymore.

  5. Welcome to PoN @Mickypne.Glad to have another opposition fan join in.I hope we hear more of your balanced and unbiased views.


  6. Leeds have issued a statement saying the Brian McDermott is still very much their manager. !!??


     


    What's going off there?


  7. Kevin Pilkington by a country mile. Some great saves


  8. It looks like a tough game ...


     


     


    Perhaps just as importantly though it is a cold reminder as to the dire mess that CCFC are in


     


    This could happen to any club at any time, including Notts County. Can we all as footy fans unite and consider signing the e-petition below

    Thanks for anyone who takes the time to look at this


  9. I would replace Boucard With Mullins. Boucard tries to be clever and then loses poessesion.


  10. First month almost over, it's been a better start for us than the end of last year. PoN's almost on the date to decide it's member of the month, @super_pie is currently thinking about what he wants to write for his blog. I am considering doing my own - Though I'll probably find some form of article to draft up.

    My days been painfully slow, lacking inspiration and rather tired.

    Ellie on the other hand is very excited about finally recieving a school place, I won't start here but I'm just glad to see her happy. It's been very emotional for her and she's felt like the 'forgotten child'. With her uniform now all purchased, it's nice seeing her excited about wearing it and she keeps telling @cheeky~k8 that she wants to wear it every day until she goes to school. LOL

    What have you been up to? If you read this, please do add a little about your day. :)

  11. I have been a Notts supporter since they got promoted to the old 1st division. I had a season ticket for a few years. Then in 1985 I got the chance to work at Notts as a steward. And I have been doing this since{(hope you won't hold it against me) . I have been to all Wembley finals (5).


    I live about 2 mins from Ice stadium so not to far from ground.


    I work at Asda west bridgford, been there for 12 years.


    Been married for 33 years.


    Interests are Notts and football in general. Elvis and 60's music. Computing, reading(when I get chance). X Box.


    Just recently came out of hospital, went to Benidorm, caught Influenza A Virus, when we came back I ended up 2 days in intensive care as my respiratory system was shutting down. Then a week on a normal ward.


    Shall miss a few games while I get back to normal.


  12. Welcome @kop666, it's nice to see you've made your way onto our site. You should find the mobile skin quite flexible but you can always use the full version, it's pretty nifty of tablet devices.

    I hope to see your input around our community, glad you joined mate. :)

  13. How's that for a pair of signings?!

    Welcome to the community @DamoMarshall and @4everapie, nice to see you both take the dive and join us. I really think you both will be big assets for our promotion push here, no matter how often you visit. I hope you both enjoy the site and I look forward to seeing you around and discussing NCFC with you.

    Why not tell us a little about yourselves? COYP!

  14. I thought you might all like to have a read of this.


     


    The amount of workers with ATOS who have left and spoken up on their policies grows weekly.  Yet still this company receives a vast amount of money by the government...with extensive bonuses for everyone they decide is fit for work.  How is this a fair assessment on who can and can't work, and how long before even more end up homeless or living well below the poverty line before something is done about their practices?

  15. The results in Div 1 went Notts way last night.Not only do Notts need to get results but at the moment they could do with teams around them in the table losing too.What are your thoughts?


  16. 1. Do we think we will bring anyone in today?

     

    2. Who do you think will be the big movers and shakers in the Championship and below?
     

    3. Big spenders in the PL?

     

     

    For me, its 

    1. No.
    2. No idea - Sheff Utd, QPR, Leicester, maybe?
    3. Man City.


    Anyone heard any good gossip/rumours?



     

  17. Anyone making the trip to Preston? I really want to go, mainly to support a friend and of course Notts but I don't think it's sensible really. It's a game I would have loved to have gone. I haven't been to Preston before, until last year I hadn't gone anywhere really. Hartlepool was my first away day.

    Now's the time to cough up and let the PoN community know if you're going.

    COYP!

    Ps. Don't forget to add your thoughts here, especially if you do go - Match Thread.

  18. Nothing as of yet's been confirmed with regards to Elliot Gibbons the Non League player who tweeted this.

    1660976_10152944860165961_600938008_n.pn

    Roberts, although he doesn't feel me with confidence - He did give a good interview, it's uncertain how he will fit into our squad and even he sounds to be a little unsure but he did say he's joined because of injuries and he's here to cover. His experience might help some of the youngsters we have, so there's that at least and if he was to help out as a coach, something he's denied it would also be an added bonus because we're short in this department. Poor Greg does do a lot of training/coaching!

    Mullins, I am happy with but it was said we wouldn't be signing any more loan players and for me it strikes as a sign. I do feel that we are panicking a little but it's important we get signings.

    How do you feel about these signings?

  19. Spanish side Racing Santander's players have walked off the pitch refusing to play their Copa Del Ray quarter final against Real Sociadad in a protest over 4 months of unpaid wages. The ref blew for kick off but the Santander players just gathered in the centre circle. The ref asked if they were going to play, they said no, so the game was abandoned. Crazy scenes!


  20. Man City released their financial statements yesterday as part of their annual report


    http://content.mcfc.co.uk/~/media/Files/Annual%20Report/MCFC_AR.pdf


     


    I thought I'd pick out some of the interesting facts from the report


     


    Please note these are all as of 31 May 2013


     


    Revenue


    Match Day £39,615,000 14.6%


    Champions League TV £24,144,000 8.9%


    Other Broadcasting £64,250,000 23.7%


    Other Commercial Activities £142,991,000 52.8%


    Total £271,000,000 100.0%


     


    Only 14.6% of Man City's revenue is from a matchday


     


    Expenses


    Total Operating Expenses £369,353,000


    Salaries & Wages £233,106,000 63.11%


     


    Wages account for 64% of Man City Group's costs.


     


    As of 31 May 2013, the accounting estimate for the price of the players registration is £428m


     


     


     


    Staff


    Football Staff (Including Players) 222 49.44%


    Commercial/Admin Staff 227 50.56%


    Total 449


     


    That is a lot of football staff, I wonder what kind of things some of these people do


     


    Profit


    Without transfers, Man City Group would have made a profit of £23.4m, but including the trading of players they made a loss of £51.6


     


    Possible Bonuses/Signing on fees/etc


    Man City believe they could have to pay a maximum £53.9m "upon the achievement of certain conditions contained within player and transfer contracts if they are still in the service of the Club"


     


    Let me know if you have anything else you might want to know, and I'll see if I can work it out from the published accounts


  21. We have had 4 players out of the club,  and up to yet only 1 deffo in and 1 possible. We are still going to be short if we get any more suspensions and Injuries. Still time for more though, so let's wait and see.


  22. Notts County's Danny Haynes to join Hibs on loan


    <!--url{0}--> Notts County forward Danny Haynes is on his way to Scotland to join Hibernian on loan.

    The English League One club confirmed to BBC Scotland that the 26-year-old would be with the Scottish Premiership club for the rest of the season.

    Haynes, who can play on the wing or up front, signed a three-year contract with County in the summer after leaving Charlton Athletic.

    He has made 23 appearances for County this season, scoring four goals.

    However, he has not found the net since October, has not started for the Magpies since early December and was placed on the transfer list by manager Shaun Derry earlier this month.

    Haynes said on social media site Twitter: "Now on route to Scotland. Off on loan to Hibs for the rest of the season."

    The paperwork for Haynes' move to the Scottish Premiership is not expected to be completed until Thursday.
  23. First thing I'm going to type here, I do not want to see a repeat of our away game against them. I'll only accept if we start as we ended that game, 25+ minutes of domination but this time for the majority of the game. :P

    It would be nice to see the flag in the Kop! I loved that at Peterborough and was it Bristol City last?

    @sadlad how many Walsall fans do you see coming?

    It should be a lively encounter, I like the type of football our opponents play but I think under Derry they will find us more of a match than the last time we played them. Very unlucky not to come back with 3 points but I won't dwell on past games!

    Hopefully our resident saddler will tell us all about their threats and he's kindly agreed to do our Opposition View!

    Thoughts?
