Hi all and welcome to the fourth episode of Pride of Nottingham’s PONcast.

In today’s instalment we begin by discussing the club’s pre-season friendlies – were they good choices or could they have picked other teams? We then move onto transfer speculation at Meadow Lane – who’s been linked with the club thus far? We also touch on the progress that the PONcast has made so far, the Meadow Lane pitch, the Champions League final featuring our Italian brothers Juventus, and our favourite Magpies shirts over the years.

And if that’s not enough for you, we also have exclusive interviews with Mike Edwards and Colin Slater!

Seriously, what the hell do some Chairmen want...any club can become a giant kill victim...

They seemed to have started to get some consistency in play if not results in the league and showed at least some signs of being able to survive.... so the manager spoke his mind ... if it was diabolical then why not say so...

Following on from the holiday thread I was wondering where everyone would vote as their best place they've ever been to and why. Doesn't need to be holiday related, just interested to see the things we all class as 'the best!' Meadow Lane is banned. (And if you wee picking that then you need to get out more because on a cold tuesday night in January sat at the back of the Pavis...well...its not the best in the world, but not the worst either, especially if we're winning!)

2 new members have joined us so I'd like to give a warm PoN welcome to  @nottsfan and @magicmanfan.Hope you both join in and enjoy your time with us.

Well either he was deemed not good enough for Notts or we really are shafted when Mansfailed beat us to players like this. On reputation alone in the lower leagues, he would have looked good at Notts.

Let's hope Moniz has bigger fish to fry.

I am genuinely sad that Notts have been relegated, you guys are proper footy fans & no-one deserves too feel like you do ATM (been there myself too many times).

Anyone seen him? Liverpool FC are trying to find him, and they have no clue where he is!

I've had a lot of trouble this morning logging in on my phone, first it wouldn't let me view the site at all and said there was a driver error, then I could see the site but it wouldn't accept my password so I tried to log in with facebook but now it has created a new user in my facebook name Fanof BigTone.

I can log in and post on the desktop computer but not my iphone via the mobile skin. Anyone else noticed a problem or is it just me?

@notts-joe I tried to delete the Fanof BigTone member but I don't think I have the necessary privileges so I think you will have to do it.

Does anyone own a DAB radio? They are becoming all the rave at the moment.

I had one (still used) from Morrisons, however changing stations annoyed the life out of me. Yet, I was lucky enough to win one from Absolute Radio, which the radio is located in my bedroom - It's a Pure One brand, absolutely love it! I also own a personal DAB radio which is the size of an MP3 player.

Any way, I hear Sony make decent one's if you don't already own one.

What do you think @super_ram? Will he stay or go ?

There is always discussion on which was our best kit and some of the younger generation wouldn't have a clue about some of the older kits so I thought it would be a good idea to have a poll to see which one people like the best.

Click here and scroll through the kits and vote for which one you like the best

For me its 1977 - 1978

Who has been doing the Premiere League's official fantasy football this year?

We got any up and coming managers in our ranks??

I'm not setting the world on fire, but seem to be beating most(ish) of my colleges with a current score of 1,857. Can anyone do better?

Tried this using the Doncaster fans pics. I came out at 46 when I'm 41. Close, but no cigar!

I also used the @PTID1862 and @tonyhateley one.

PTID came out at 58.

It refused to give me the other guys age due to him being the international man of mystery!!!

Before the All-Stars game in aid of the Jimmy & Jack Statue Fund, a fan team called Trowsers FC played a memorial match. I was asked to take pictures of them coming out from the dressing room, which I also took some pictures of the actual game. I have attached the album below.

If you know anyone, please do tag them into the pictures and of course like the gallery album.

You Pies!

Have a look at the pics, chances are if you attended I snapped your picture.

Don't forget to like, tag (anyone you know). Cheers!

Its good to see but it looks awkward that the club would push minor work like this but do nothing for a charity game?

Who cares? I don't.

Let's all wish @notts-joe a very big HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

What a waste.

Inspired by @super_ram I have decided to give you all a trivia question, hopefully it won't be as hard as Super's and someone will actually remember the player.

Question:

Which ex Notts County player started as a miner, played for Notts as a defender and then went on to be a successful country and western singer and got to No.2 in the American charts.

No prizes, just for fun.

Welcome to Pride of Nottingham @magpie402, I hope you enjoy being apart of our always growing community and that you feel comfortable sharing your views. I ensure you, we simply discuss and it's all in the right way. Please do feel free to tell us a little bit about yourself, such as how long you've been a fan etc.

Thanks for joining us.

I know, not many people are interested in friendly games but it's a good chance to access the playing squad assembled. I also acknowledge the results are meaningless, as we can play poorly pre-season but ever so well in the league and visa versa we can do well but struggle to scrape together results within the league.

Personally I am excited about what could be announced.

What type of friendlies do you hope are announced?

Hopefully we are very selective about which Non League teams we decide to help out this year, I would certainly avoid Arnold Town personally.

I hope we go for League Teams, try to pull local teams like Forest, Villa, Wolves etc down to the lane.

The first time I attended a game at Meadow Lane, Notts had a player sent off.Just for fun ,name that player.

OK. Tried everything I know and I cant for love nor money get tweets or retweets to post to facebook.

Tried settings apps and post to etc...

Tried disconnecting both by logging out and back in.

Tried clearing browser cache.

Still no joy.

Any ideas one and all?

Thanks

This goes hand in hand with the butter thread!

We have embraced the eating healthy revolution in our home at the moment. I must look like a salad at the moment. Oh for a KFC!

Anyway the cost of buying the food on a daily basis is astronomical! 

I have switched from sugar to Canderal, salads instead of chips, small portions, actifry to keep fat added to 0%, George Forman Grill to help etc...

Bloody expensive business this trying to be healthy.

Anyone else (not @PTID1862 and his two burgers!) do this on a regular basis and if so how do you afford it?!!!
