Has been nominated and is in a shortlist of three for the Football League 1 player of the year.

Hope he get's it............richly deserved in my opinion.

I am medievalmickey a supporter of Swindon Town.

Why the name? I am ancient and abhor listening to any current news so I find things out by hearsay and general conversation. My son thinks I belong in the Dark Ages.

I was introduced to Walsall Web-Fans Forum, made to feel very welcome and enjoy the friendly banter and true camaraderie. I met notts-joe on that site and am pleased to join yours.

Football is tribal and we want our own team to win every match.  We fans all have this wish but basically love the game and would normally get on together because of this interest.

So, I sat writing a blog because I weren't tired.. I then stumbled onto to Facebook and decided to play a game (Pop Intros) I used to be addicted to when it first went on their, although very few people I knew actually used it and well.. I grew tired of beating most people, I'd play family and only Kate would really win (yes I am shocked - I'm also a dead man!!) but I whilst I played I found my mind wondering, I then had a light-bulb moment or a crazy idea, I was inspired to do this!!

I'm laughing, makes me chuckle! I can't wait to share it with Dan too. (wonder what he made of me giving him a pretend cheque) lol

I've stood many a time in the Kop feeling proud to be shouting on the Pies with such passion while singing your heart out for them!! 

Knowing that you can always count on fellow Notts supporters, I thought I'd ask you if you can help me spread the word about an event Ive got coming up?

I'm a singer/songwriter and have been given the honor of launching my debut single at Meadow Lane   .

It's an official charity single in aid of Cancer Research UK its called 'In their eyes.'

The song is inspired by the legacy which is left behind when a loved one is lost. They still live on through their families, and we still see them in their eyes.

On the night there will be vocal from myself supported by an amazing pianist, a raffle with fantastic prizes inc signed NCFC football!!!! The single will then be officially released to buy on cd and itunes and to celebrate there's a live band which will get you on the dance floor  !! 

All for £5!!!!!! 

Only 1 rule.........black and white dress code   COYP 

Good Friday 29th March doors open at 7pm tickets available in the club shop

Why did you join Pride of Nottingham?

I've been thinking a lot lately, as I spend time analyzing the site. I asked on Facebook how people found us, although the page doesn't really draw or catch peoples attentions enough to get a fair report back. I was, as I always am chuffed with the responses as they gave a good insight and I am always excited when someone share their opinion (it's the whole reason for the page). I'm now planning our content range and things I'd like in place, sadly I don't have all the time to do the things I'd like so for now I will rotate but the balance being right is the most important thing about running a site.

If you wouldn't mind sharing, I'd like you to answer the above question. It will help me, it might also attract the attention of readers who may join or members who are still lurking into taking part.

To summaries your opinions, I can enhance my plan and make sure it fits around the people who matter.

Thanks for your support,

What do you hate about modern football? The lack of respect throughout the game - fans/clubs/players etc and the cost of games is concerning giving the little in return to those loyal supporters. At Notts it isn't all that bad, there's a good day out and the Meadow Lane Sports Bar is a great place to visit prior to games but it doesn't feel the same as it used to be. I also dislike Sky Sports with a passion, too much money and the control they have now is worrying.

Has now scored 3 goals in 3 games for Torquay.

Time for a recall? He's never really had a chance with Notts, could he do a job for us, what do you think?

Was just casually looking through Amazon when I decided to see what search results Notts County would bring. And I found this book:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ultra-Violence-Mark-Anthony-Barry/dp/1478139595/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1363539056&sr=8-1

This is the synopsis:

Has anyone heard of Mark Barry or this book before? It's had quite good reviews.

Being a life long Notts County supporter I am so proud to be launching my official charity single for CRUK 'in their eyes' at meadow lane sports bar!

I am a local singer/song writer and am hoping to raise a load of money for this charity which is very close to my heart.

The evening will consist of jazz vocal from myself a great chance to win prizes inc signed NCFC football new single release then live band all for just £5 per ticket come and join us from 7pm on Good Friday march 29th black and white dress code of course!!!!

Notts have apparently acquired some heat lamps to help the grass grow on the Pavis side of the ground. The lamps were confiscated by police after being used to grow cannabis!

I keep noticing comments on Facebook, a twitter follow also mentioned something regarding Craig Short and Ray trew. He's apologized about sacking him or something, listening to it now.

Match Talk

Thoughts?

first thing is i wonder what the attendance will be? i think it will be pretty low and the game most likely scrappy. could win the game but i'm not sure we will tbh

hope the players think about how they impact matches.

you pies!

In the chairmans notes in the programme Ray Trew has restated his commitment to the club in the future. No doubt his notes will be published on this site later on by Joe.

This is good news the alternative doesn't bear thinking about.

He's back at Leicester. Tweeted this:

"Wanna say a big thanks to the Notts County fans for making me feel welcome. Shame it didn't work out but that's football."

Hopefully this won't turn into an ugly game, I'm a little concerned regarding what happened the last time we played them and the resulting conflict. I hope both sets of players respect each other and focus playing the game, it's certainly one on our day we could win. I didn't see them struggling to this degree, so there's obvious roots to explore in order to beat them. I hope Chris chooses a side that's more stronger on paper, I have nothing against the likes of Blyth but he didn't send out a message and I would of preferred to see Zoko or Arquin up front myself.

Hamza, I don't really have a concern with but the formation was also a little odd.

I would of thought Chris would of changed things, gone away from Curle's tactics and set his own stamp on the side but we seem to be rotating between Curle's tactics.

1-1 (if we're bright eyed then we could easily win - as could they)

Opinions? @2piesonmyshirt @anonypie @BenBlyth @Italian Magpies @Joe Jones @joecrow @jurgenpie @liampie @magpiejue @MuddyPatchPie @tonyhateley @UniPie @upthepies @vicki @weymouthPIE

I don't know! Some players will moan about anything, the ref wants this bloke to take a corner but he's moaning because of a bit of water.

Having put a few what some might consider negative posts on I thought I would put on a more positive post.

Are you a lifeline member? Do you buy a 50-50 ticket at the match? These are important revenues of income for the club and can pay dividends as I have found.

A couple of years ago I was surprised to receive a phone call from my wife whilst I was at work, fearing the worst (because she never phoned me at work) I asked her what was wrong and she said nothing was wrong in fact quite the opposite, the postman had just been and we had received a check for £1,000 from Notts County. I never check the lifeline numbers so was really pleasantly suprised when I won the top prize. We had a nice holiday that year.

Similarly I always buy a 50-50 ticket and have had two wins in recent years. The first time I was with my son so I shared it with him we had about £280 each, the second time I was on my own but it was a night match so not so much but did go home with just over £300.

I also once won a raffle at the lifeline gala dinner and won an executive box for a match of my choice, so me and 7 friends and family got to watch a match in style all for the price of a raffle ticket.

So you can support the club in all sorts of ways and benefit at the same time. Anyone else been lucky?

We got to the ground very early, normally the shops would be somewhere to time waste but I can appreciate a nice little rest now, the children also needed to calm down a little. (not that they did) When we arrived at Meadow Lane we was the first few people around and went straight into an empty sports bar, then about 20 minutes into it Ralph and some cameramen with media passes came in and a few minutes later they left to my delight!

Then they returned and my worst fear was confirmed, recording! I was half tempted to put my PoN T-Shirt on but decided to opt out of it.

Anyone know why they was filming?

I was saddened to seeing the players being booed during the game, at half time and at full time against Preston.

OK, I was as frustrated as anyone at the level of performance and had a moan to the person next to me and even come on here and moan about it but to boo the players especially during the game is in my opinion counter productive. They know they are having a bad game and don't choose to go out there and deliberately lose to wind the fans up. So let's give them a break and try and support them through the bad patches, encouragement works far better than booing. If fans really feel the need to boo then I wish they would do it after the final whistle.

With Julian Kelly looking doubtful, Cofie unlikely and Dean Leacock suspended (10 Yellow cards), Notts will face a difficult trip to Crawley with only 3 points separating the two sides. 

I was talking to a chap at the match on Saturday and he said that when Curle and his two assistants were sacked it was purely a money saving exercise as Notts are in financial difficulties. According to him we were never going to appoint another manager and CK was always going to get the job because he was cheap. He also pointed to the transfer of Hughes and the failure to sign a suitable replacement as another example which backed up his theory.

I do hope this isn't true as I couldn't bear another term in administration with all the worries that brings.

Any thoughts?

Game's on now! Hope it's a good one!
