I’ve not been on here for a while but after @Chris and @liampie reached out I thought long and hard and here I am. I’m sorry to Chris and Liam that I didn’t respond positively, I’ve not been in a particularly good place of late.

With the new season approaching and back in the league I’m looking forward to chatting football with you all and renewing my banter with my old sparring partner @super_ram, how are you my old mate?

    @Fan of Big Tone, you have nothing to be sorry for. It's all in the past and each of us bear our own crosses. I felt incredibly thankful that you posted your message, on my mum's memorial. It came out of the blue, gave us some comfort. I'm glad you are back, I've been joking about re-signing old members, in an attempt to pull together. You would be like Tommy Lawton signing for Notts, you've been missed my friend.

    It’s been a while since we last saw each other on here @Fan of Big Tone. Whatever happened before is in the past. I’m just glad that you’re back. As an original member, you’ve been missed on the site. Welcome back!

    It takes a great deal of bravery to return, admit your mistakes and offer an apology. I may not be fully aware of the situation, but I recall you, @Fan of Big Tone. You always seemed to be someone who was deeply passionate about Notts and the Pride of Nottingham. Your opinions were a pleasure to read and judging by the response, you are being welcomed back with open arms! Please don't hesitate to engage in discussions on the site. Welcome back!

    In the grand scheme of things, life is too short to worry about these sorts of things. @Fan of Big Tone, nobody wanted you to leave. It was saddening to see that happen. It was all largely a miscommunication, but I know that you meant well. You have nothing to apologise for and I’m glad that you’re back. I’m pleased for @super_ram as he clearly enjoys your friendship and it’s great that the two of you can catch up. By the way, your message after Granny Pie passed away was a very touching and unexpected comment. I know it meant a lot to Chris and I’m sure it did to Super as well.

    No the campervan was sold just before the pandemic, we timed it just right.

    Steve Bloomer???? ???? You cheeky bugger, he’s more your age group. ????

    @Fan of Big Tone up front, @super_ram at the back. All this re-signings such as @Turkey_Twizzler, @Canadian and the PON forum XI is starting to take shape. I swear I am missing someone, anywho. Keep laughing!

    My dad,your grandad Tom,used to tell me when I was young that I made a good rightback .......if I was right back in the changing room

    It’s great to see you picking up right where you left off, @Fan of Big Tone. It’s like an 80s band reuniting for a comeback tour and ,we’re all ready to rock out to your thoughts on Notts subjects. In the meantime, keep on rockin’ and rollin’!

    @Fan of Big Tone, it’s fantastic to see you back. The Pride of Nottingham is always better when we have fans like you who are good at expressing their views. Just comment on what you enjoy and before long it will be like you never left.
