It's unfortunate that several attempts to allow politically based discussions have failed during the time the Pride of Nottingham has existed. Therefore, it is banned immediately from today.
In line with the majority of online forums, I have decided to remove the political forum.
This might upset some people. However, there is never an easy decision, and I can honestly say I have tried in many ways to make it work without issues. But such is the nature of passion; it is impossible.
The only exception is cartoons, as these can be funny. But any attempts to discuss politics in writing will be removed by the moderation team.
I do not want to discourage active participants, but the site and community are better off keeping things non-politically aligned. There are plenty of subjects to discuss which won't become heated, so I encourage members to support this decision.
In addition to the changes, I will limit the site's access for guests. Forum posts will have a limit, as with articles, but most visitors will be able to read articles, features, and news without an issue until this content is viewed more than ten times. This counter will include all the articles. I would advise those who are not members to consider joining and becoming a part of the community.
Some forums will also be made strictly members-only. In time, I will make some features unavailable to newcomers. Such as the ability to edit content, privileges will be gained by active participation of the community. This will fall in line with badges and awards to be used as incentives for involvement. Our community grows with your support, which is always appreciated.
Best wishes,
Chris
I agree @CliftonMagpie the club shouldn’t offer a contract purely on sentimental grounds, there is no loyalty in football and as you say players are quick to go elsewhere if a better offer comes along.
Contracts should be given purely on the players contribution to the club now and in the future not on past achievements.
I still hope he’s welcome to train and use our facilities to help his comeback. However, I don’t believe we should offer him a one-year deal. Would Woking do it? I doubt it. I wish Adam Chicksen all the best, and I hope his injury doesn’t lead to financial problems. Many players have other sources of income, and hopefully Chicks does too.
pleased to see adam chicksen listed as a notts player here on pon, unlike the club itself. clearly hes on the way out, and its such a shame because he could fit our system quite well if stuart maynard could get the best out of him. i do agree he has flashes of brilliance and struggles, i think its confidence but i dont think we owe him anything. i also would not expect woking to sign him permanently knowing he has the injury.
its unfortunate for chicksen, but i do wish him well and until his contract expires he is a notts player.
