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.

What do you think about food and drink prices at the lane?

Cracking game so far. Home team on top, but Obika candidate for miss of season, rounded keeper 8 m out shot wide.

Here's a story about a Notts fan who is over in Kenya doing aid work. - Article Here

Please read, share and like. It's such a positive message, not only from the clubs point of view but for the people these changes help. It's amazing work!

I've had the pleasure of meeting many Notts fans who help by doing charity work, we have more than you people realize.

My question for the PoN community, have you ever done any charity work? Let's share our stories and discuss. You Pies!

After the success of this thread last home game, I wanted to ask the community what questions you would like me to ask Notts Fans for the next meet the fans video?

As last time, you will get a shout out in the video (assuming you are happy with this)

Just over a minute to watch here, thoughts on the highlights?

Yesterday we decided to have a spontaneous trip to Leicester, which turned out to be very pleasant despite the rain back home. Now we was thinking of going to Newark again, perhaps surprise some family members which I haven't seen for awhile but I felt this would be unfair to my Aunt Daisy (not really my aunt but my Grandfathers Sister).

On the train we met and spoke to a conductor called "Martin".

He really took a shine to our children, especially @super_pie which I will add really helped cheer him up. Martin told Jake some jokes, he asked some questions between doing his job. He seemed very interested and pleased to see a family of "Notts County" fans traveling to Leicester.

Now one of the questions he asked went like.... "Notts County receive a special and very expensive gift each year without delay, do you know what it is?"

He then told Jake the story about Juventus and the famous "Black & White Shirt".

The answer to the question was each year Juventus donate a signed shirt by every player so that Notts can auction it off for charity. Now, I do recall hearing about this but I thought it was a one off. Just very interesting to see the story told and having met someone very kind like Martin.

Is this true? Anyone heard it? Thoughts and Opinions?

@Italian Magpies @erindoors - Can you shed any light on this? I am really interested in this. We're hoping to track Martin down and keep in contact.
 

This Saturday's Fixtures:

Leeds United v Wolves

Middlesbrough v Watford

Preston North End v Fleetwood Town

Swindon Town v Colchester United

Plymouth Argyle v Cheltenham Town

Shrewsbury Town v Portsmouth

Exciting news! Not sure if anybody has seen this yet, but former Notts County defender Guy Branston is now involved in a website that provides a platform for players to showcase their talents – www.allaboutballerz.com

Fantastic to see a former professional providing a resource for grassroots and professional players; he’s also welcoming new investors should anybody involved in the game wish to get behind the project – email [email protected]

Who was your man of the match? Please vote and leave your thoughts.

As it says really.

I'm not Scottish so have no pre-formed opinion here. 

On face value I hope they do leave the UK. It will make Whitehall sit up and take note!

Round two... Ding, ding!

This one will not be the same as the last time we played them, the new manager effect will need to be factored in and again they have some very talented players. I do believe our form should see us through this game though, we just need to sort the defence out.

If we can avoid the shaky start, I can see us getting a couple against them.

0-2 Notts win.

Thoughts? Will you be going? Let us know.. #discuss

Hi everyone.

I am currently doing a university project to design safe standing for football grounds. As part of this I need to find out how popular safe standing would be and what people associate with it.
I have created a short survey which I was hoping you could all fill out to help me. (8 multiple choice questions)

https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/Safe_standing

Before you start the survey I would like to apologise as I have messed up a bit on question 7 and 8, they are supposed to be multiple choice but it only allows one answer. For question 7 if you would have chosen multiple answers please tick "other" and type in the numbers of the answers you would have chosen. for number 8 please choose where you would most like to see a safe standing section.

Thank you
William Tuck

With Jordan Cranston rightly being given an 18 month extension and Shaun Harrad looking likely that he'll get the same sort of deal surely we should be giving big Roy another 18 months before someone else does!!

Just stuck my head on the other site, and saw this

http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/news-and-comment/simon-hart-shaun-derry-drew-on-his-bad-experiences-with-qpr-to-crack-the-whip-and-save-notts-county-9815056.html

We've signed the young lad Michael Petrasso who we was heavily linked with last season. It's another "emergency" deal which will last for three months, good move by the club!

Thoughts?

Welcome to @Cllaire 10 and @Piety.I hope you enjoy our site.
