So, by request, please find the inaugural MAGnet thread.  This is for fun, to brainstorm and remember fondly (or otherwise!) the players, coaches, managers that link the 2 clubs ahead of our games.

This week, its "that non-league lot from somewhere near Gatwick airport", i think it is quite a tricky start to (hopefully) a regular feature.  My offering - and only thought is Dean Leacock.

There must be more....

I thought that non bench members might like to read the message from Shaun.

Being entertained at Meadow Lane comes at a considerable cost for Notts County fans.

The majority of other clubs in League One offer cheaper match day tickets, with the Magpies' lowest priced at £22.

Only Leyton Orient, Bristol City (both £23) and Yeovil Town (£25) charge more on the gate for their most basic seats, according to the BBC Price of Football survey.

Rochdale, in comparison, have tickets on sale for as little as £15.

The most Notts charge on match day is £24, considerably less than Colchester's £30 – the most expensive in the division.

The prices though, do bump up the cost of a day out watching the Magpies.

Shelling out for a programme (£3), pie (£2.70) and cup of tea (£1.80) on top of the best priced match day ticket comes to £29.50.

That is still only slightly above the average of £28.21, though is the fourth most expensive in the division – Leyton Orient (£30), Bristol City (£31.20) and Yeovil (£33) being placed above them, in keeping with their ticket prices.

Is this the price of trying to create success? Are we just supporting our club? Should the prices be lower? What impact does this have on our fan base?

Thoughts?

Another new member, welcome to @the_dan_1, I hope you enjoy being part of our community, come and tell us a bit about yourself, we are a nosey lot.

Well I am anyway.

As a young lad who grew up watching Mark Stallard play for Notts, this interview was probably the highlight of the day. I am glad that @Joe Jones did the talking, as I would have sounded like a very excited school girl! LOL

Here's our interview with Mark, enjoy folks!

Has everyone seen this England world cup song video? It's got Mark Stallard dressed as a granny doing a bicycle kick

What are you all up to? What have you been doing/done today?

There's no plans, just a slow day at home for me. I plan to update the areas where I haven't had time, finally get everything into position and focus on the player pages being up to scratch. Towards 5pm or so, I am hoping to watch a movie with the little ones and my eldest daughter keeps asking if we can bake. So chances are we will fit that in somewhere.....

What about you?

Notts have reintroduced a reasonable hospitality package for regular fans (not cooperate businesses).

Prices start at £9 for Bench Members and £12 for non-Bench Members.

It's good to us regular fans having some options on match days, I know plenty disappointed about the successful "curry club" being scrapped and the club really have done well here. Yes, some won't be regulars but for a one off it isn't all that bad and the package is pretty decent.

Will you be taking this up? Let's discuss it.

I have just noticed we can have a mood set, plus we can write a status here. Nice features, I have always wondered why some have pictures when posting.

Here's the account of yesterday Legends game for those interested, it's a good read folks!

Brilliant day for fans and for us at Pride of Nottingham! - The biggest gathering of legends in Nottingham since Robin Hood and his Merry Men...

Please discuss the feature inside the actual article.

 

Yesterday myself and @Joe Jones was privileged to be able to interview several key figures who featured or was involved with the Notts vs Forest legends game.

This is what Jason Lee had to say.

I had my second experience of being a pitch side photographer, I really enjoyed it. Well Done to Basford United, Notts and Forest Legends!

Please do leave a comment, like and share. You Pies!

Just arrived at Basford United's ground, looking forward to it. Super Pie didn't want to come, its a shame but hey ho.

4-3 Notts win for me.

Anyone else going?

Due to the International break, this Saturday's fixtures will consist of three league one games, and three league two games.

Saturday's Fixtures:
Bristol City v Chesterfield

Oldham Athletic v Walsall

Sheffield United v Leyton Orient

AFC Wimbledon v Bury

Luton Town v Southend United

Shrewsbury Town v Cheltenham Town

I was watching the England v Estonia game tonight and the ref added 4 extra minutes at the end. At the top of the TV screen the added minutes were shown counting down and it got me thinking why is it that when I go to a Notts match the scoreboard stops at 90 minutes and if minutes are added we are left guessing when the match will finish.

Is there a reason for this? Why can't they leave the clock running does anyone know?

Some of these are classics!

Just heard on Radio Red that the rugby club are leaving Mradow Lane in January and moving to Lady Bay Sports Ground.

That's got to be good news hasn't it?

Pride of Nottinghams - Player of the Month (October 2014)

Roy Carroll!


Would he have gotten your vote? Does he deserve it? Thoughts and Opinions? Please congratulate our No. 1!

------------Information---------------

We'll do this each month and if I get time, I will do the "Man of the Match" after games. Around the 5th of each month a poll will go up, we will count each vote (or comment if members use mobiles) and include the votes from our social pages. Then we'll name the "Pride of Nottingham - Player of the Month".

I would love to see members joining in with voting and commenting, also would be fantastic to see different people starting the poll.

When I've been asked, I say "Walsall". I would like them to be drawn, I am not so bothered about it being at home or away as I like their ground and the two times I have visited have been something to remember. Plus to would be nice to catch up with @sadlad and perhaps get our own back on Walsall for last season.

What about you?

Well Paul Hart was on BBC's Pre MatchTalk, he spoke about his career and interesting mentioned that the appointment was definitely temporarily. He's here to "help" out and it could only be for a few weeks, which he said he will enjoy. I don't know what to make of this, I personally see no point in gaining help from someone unless it's for a considerable length of time. I mean, Mick Halsall does a fantastic job with youngsters himself.

Could this be more to do with Mick Leonard? Either way, I am hopeful he can "help" and possible remain here for at least until the end of the season.

Getting good players through takes time, you can bring in changes which helps but having additional quality is never a bad thing. I saw him overlook training this last Monday and the children was very nervous but also excited.

Here's the interview.

Leave us your thoughts on this...

Here is a pic of our cruise ship, stopped off in Corfu at the moment 90 degrees, phew!

Sorry guys, been AWOL for a while, welcome one and all...

Notts have reduced prices for this clash and there is a poster to download to promote the offer, let's hope we get a good crowd and more importantly a win.

All to often in the past when a good crowd gets down the Lane the team fail to put on a good performance.
