So, I have wanted to try to attend more games. (I've done this) I wanted to take the step a little further and from the kindness shown by 2piesonmyshirt driving myself + Jake all the way to Hartlepool and back, it made me taste what the 'away day' is like. I really wanted to feel like I did that day, to sum up so easily doesn't justify it but it was simply amazing.

Kim kindly offered to allow me and Jake to tag along to the game against Swindon.

Both myself and him were excited, we later found out WeymouthPie would be attending and it became so much more important. (met and finally said hello to some very nice people) I love how bright and engaging Jake responded to the trip, however the whole day will be one of them we both will remember. As you can tell I feel very sentimental, as a father who wants the best for his children (as most do) I get so much joy from seeing him happy.

Performances might leave fans asking questions but this was very kind by all involved, I am very PROUD. (hard not to be)

Joe mentioned this to me, i thought we should discuss it. nice to read the statement but leaves me with a few questions.

what do you think?

Local newspapers in Sheffield are reporting that Sheffield United have parted company with Danny Wilson following last night's 2-0 loss at home to Crawley Town. That defeat left United six points adrift of second placed Bournemouth although they still have two games in hand, so automatic promotion is still achievable but I think it's fair to say they're nowhere near the side they were last season. Could be said that when Ched Evans went to jail, their ruthlessness went.

Think the timing is ludicrous though. If they were going to do it, do it at the end of the season. I really dont see what difference sacking him at this time of the season will make.

Wonder who they'll get as a replacement. Neil Warnock to return to his boyhood club? Appleton?

Good luck to our Italian Friends tonight.

Martin Allen's Gillingham have gained promotion from League 2 and will be playing Notts next season, it will be great to see him back at the Lane and I'm sure he'll get a good reception.

I'm really pleased for him after he was (in my opinion) unfairly ousted from his position at Notts.

Will be making the hour or so journey to Dean Court for my final Notts game of the season tommorow. Have to say, realistically I'm expecting us to lose and not really cuase Bournemouth too many problems, but hoping to have a laugh, have a bit of a sing-song and generally just have an enjoyable day out. Determined to make the most of my last Notts game of the season

Then again you never know in football do you? Remember Notts County v Bury last season? Bury had nothing to play for, Notts had everything to gain but Bury came and turned us over 4-2. The tables are turned tommorow and we'll be playing the role of Bury if you like. Who knows?

I just hope we go for it. We're not going to get relegated but we're not going to win anything so what's the harm in just going for it? Not only is there no point in us going there for a point, but it's not entertaining and we'll probably get a beating if we do it. Against Brentford we proved we could cause one of the promotion challengers problems for the last 20 minutes and had chances to take a draw.

Anyone else coming down? Come say hello if you see me

Another manager goes

How about him becoming Director of Football at Notts Ray?

I asked on FB which got so many responses, I hadn't expected it but made my day when I noticed that people kept adding the people they thought/like most. Why consider adding yours?

Jimmy (no doubt) but if I went by people I've seen/met. Michale Johnson, Lee Hughes.

So many players prior I wished I had witness them grace the field, although any list I did make does have the potential to go on. (which I do enough)

Who would your top 3 be?

I know a lot of you were at the match on Saturday and Tony is enjoying a pint somewhere.So what have I been doing,well nothing much.Basically the weather put paid to any plans and I've just been pottering about trying to keep warm.I must say,though, I don't miss getting up at 5am to go to work.I was hoping to get in the garden and tidy up the winter debris before the end of March.Looking at the forecast there doesn't seem much chance of that.Anyone done anything interesting?

I spoke to a couple of friends at yesterdays Fan Forum, I didn't have a pen or my mobile with me so I could not double check the site address as I have mine bookmarked. Can we invite people to the site? It came up in conversation after a couple of comments were made. I'm surprised that neither had heard of the site before I mentioned it. Also Joe, I will ask family members back in Nottingham to help spread the word.

Doncaster move closer to automatic promotion, as do Bournemouth after what sounds like a somewhat controversial refereeing display against Notts..Yeovil move to 3rd after beating the Shrews, though I think Shrews should be OK. Although Walsall could only manage a draw at home against Sheffield Utd it does leave them handily placed on equal points with Tranmere..Swindon ,having games in hand are even better placed at 6th and they will also be disappointed that Walsall didn't win.

      Elsewhere,Gillingham will be at Meadow Lane next season after securing promotion and Mansfield's 4 away at Barrow has done their hopes of a return to the Football League no harm.

      In the Championship Blackburn slip into the relegation area  and my lot missed another penalty(that's 3 misses in the last games) losing at home to Ipswich right at the death.

Today Joe's daughter,my grand daughter,Ellie is 5.Have a good day,Ellie.

She sat on my knee v Bury singing 'the wheelbarrow song'

I'm trying very hard to incorporate a little more time into the social streams, it's a good way with connecting with people and I enjoy every aspect but times very limiting at times. (I'm sure members relate)

Here's a game I've posted on our FB page and Twitter account. (slightly changing the image)

Can any of our members name who this is, as we play 'Guess Who?'.

I don't like saying this but I was speechless, I mean, I found myself sitting on a table eagerly listening to what was being said but this place has opened my eye's even wider than before. I honestly feel although some valid/good questions did get asked, many sadly failed to reach a point. I've given myself a tough task about writing about it (though I am struggling here).

The video link didn't work, massive failure and a disappointment to the evening for myself.

It made me wonder if any practice sessions actually happened, but we move on of course. Yet Mr Trew's opinions would have been a highlight, I liked Chris and he put himself across very well.

I expected it to be far worse, fireworks infact but then again I should have expected that 'comments' wouldn't have been raised. I feel the board should be wondering what they've missed out on because for me it wasn't all that constructive. I don't know anything new that I didn't know prior to attending.

God ,I hope fans realize how vital it is for us to get back to supporting the club we know and love. I worry, I shouldn't but I do.

Your thoughts?

Congratulations to the youth team in beating Shrewsbury 2-1 today, to reach the Midland Youth Cup final. You Young Pies!

I've just been looking at the members on this forum and I am the 5th top poster, WHOO HOO, look out liampie, super ram, cheeky-K8 and Notts-Joe, I coming up on the rails.

I think I have the third most "likes" for my posts too so I must be doing something right.

So come on your lot below me, get posting and catch me if you can.

I'm not a fan of Ricky, this is pretty funny though. Thoughts? What would you pass onto the future generations?

It looks like Pilkington will remain in goal, yet I would not be surprised to see Bart instead. Just read the O/S, not a fan of their site without sounding negative.
 

Chris Kiwomya: "It’s another hard game against another side in the top six or seven and we have to get the recovery in and go out and play some attacking football." (Magpie Player)

 

Gary Johnson: "You've got to be wary of the team that's got nothing to gain or nothing to lose. You've definitely got to be up for it, because if you go a goal up they sometimes think it doesn't matter and if you go a goal down they'll be like Barcelona and we've got to be ready for that." (Glovers Player) 

 
I had hope to read the match preview here, although I will make do with the official one. I see Yeovil being a real threat, they know how to put a team out within a budget and have some handy players. I see this one being a draw at the best, I will hope that we can win but without any real upfront threat I just don't see it.

On a three year deal.

Is that when the fixed price season ticket expires?

Once again the results have not been what members wanted.Notts losing and hopes of a playoff place all but gone now.Other teams drawing and prolonging the agony.The upset of the day was probably Coventry beating table toppers Donny.This result will make Doncaster all the more determined when they play Swindon on Monday And Coventry will be boosted  for their visit to Walsall.Shrews have a difficult match against Crawley.A few members will have an eye on Notts result  with Yeovil being your opposition.

         The Rams are away at the old enemy Leeds managed by Neil Warnock.Leeds conceded 3  after having a player sent off and Rams scored 3 against lowly Bristol City.

        Things may be a bit clearer after these games.Good luck all.
