    Nephew's first game

    That sounds right. The pub was the White Lion and there was a newsagents on the corner - Janjuas? And the Paris Cinema where The Empire is now. Grew up nearby and went to St Mary’s where the new mental health centre is now.

    Player Ratings

    Burge - 8. No chance with the penalty. Didn’t concede otherwise and no errors in distribution. Looks more confident and I feel more confident in him. Brown 5 - gave away the penalty and not a great performance defending or attacking. Nothing stood out. Davies and Willis - both an 8. Defended...

    Jordan Shipley - is he good enough for league 1

    He’s not a player who gets you out of your seat but I think he does an important job for the team in terms of shape and solidity etc. When the strikers score or the flair players do get us out of our seats, Shipley is a part of the successful whole. When the chances created for other are missed...

    Blocks 14 to 16

    As a season ticket holder in Block 16, I’m really disappointed I won’t be able to occasionally bring friends and family by buying available seats for them near mine. I do go to watch the football first and foremost, but I love introducing friends to football and taking younger and older members...

    Notts County Second Leg - where does it rank?

    I’ve been asking myself this question. I didn’t make Wembley in 87 sadly. If you’d asked me before last Friday what my favourite game was, I’d probably have gone for the White Hart Lane miracle, the last game at Highfield Road, or the win at Wimbledon in 96. For me the very best games are...

    Nolan

    He is a poor manager now because he sets out his team to play the worst possible football. But he will never be a great manager because he can’t lose with a bit of grace. Be sick with disappointment, annoyed with decisions but say something gracious about your opponent. The capacity to do that...

    FAO Grendel

    I agree we play better with Max in the team. There’s something about him I really like. His effort, his heart, his smile. Players often become cult heroes without being the best player, or without an obvious reason. There is just a connection between the player and the fans and you feel it. Like...

    Get ready with everything sky blue for players coming out. Notts lot have got black and white t shirts on the stand to our right. They have to try and create an atmosphere !

    Observations tonight....

    Isn’t the ball getting stuck in water on the pitch one of the ways they test the conditions? The quarter of the pitch near the scoreboard wasn’t really playable I don’t think. That said, I’d have been disappointed if the game had been postponed so late. Regardless of the conditions, we played...

    Match Thread Coventry City at Crawley Town Match Thread - Saturday 14th Apr

    I’ve been to most away games recently but can’t make this one. Will there any way of watching it? I’ve seen messages the past about a stream via the Facebook group and I am a member of that so can look. Any other easy options? Much appreciated, thanks. We can do this! C’mon City!

    Gary Hoffman on the phone in....

    An asset the Hoffman consortium has that SISU doesn't is the potential to immediately increase and then gradually build the break even figure. Hoffman's appearance on the radio last night is a great example - if that level of communication continued we'd be generally on his side, even if there...

    Tesco parking

    We've received two 'fines' in the last few days - first for the Bradford game, then for Southend. We had one at the start of the season which we produced receipts for but none since. We've always parked at the Ricoh and spent the required amount between us. Since it went up to £50 it's needed a...

    MOTD - from the archives

    Thanks for posting this. I grew up in Mowbray Street, just behind the old Main Stand. I would have been home that day as a toddler probably watching through the front window as the crowds walked past outside. When I was older I would watch the crowd in the West Stand from the corner of the road...

    Wow! How to make a new poster feel welcome on here. Swearing at me and insulting me when you know nothing about me or who I am. This clearly isn't an environment for a respectful exchange of opinions. Maybe all of you on here are used to be insulted and sworn at but I'm not. I'll not be posting...

    I haven't said I was in the NOPM camp, just that this season I find myself moving towards it.
