It's probably fair enough. However, I think it's natural to feel more enthusiastic during a promotion race or when battling the drop, crowds rise at those times for a reason. It would be nice if everyone kept attending come what may, but that's not the world we live in. You've also got more casual fans who have an affinity for Notts but are more likely to come when they're being entertained. It takes all sorts! As for bandwagon fans, many people who are now die-hard fans started off as bandwagoners. Not so very long ago, the average age of supporters at Meadow Lane was very high - probably because of the large number of pipe-smoking old boys who had started coming when Tommy Lawton signed and had gone on to become loyal and lifelong fans. No doubt the odd Notts fan in the 1940s grumbled about the bandwagon jumpers who just wanted to see Lawton play, but those of them who were still coming in the 90s definitely earned their stripes!

It's a decent haul, but is it even a professional club? They're currently sitting second bottom of the Cypriot first division. It's a shame really, with the right breaks he could have played on a bigger stage.

Depends. Maybe I'll relegate everyone but me

Curious. Now I'm tempted to check out the recording @Chris

Thanks for playing everyone!

Just a general point from me. Last season I was calling for Crowley to play deeper as I thought he was ideal to cover for the missing Palmer. However, this season Palmer is back and we've got a lot more choice in that position. Right now we need him further forward as we've been so pedestrian and predictable the last few weeks. I hope SM draws the right conclusions.

I'm always sceptical when there's talk of a big club having a "crisis". However, the longer this goes on, the weirder it feels. And on top of it all, Pep Guardiola is clearly at his wits' end and his statements and behaviour are becoming ever more bizarre. He doesn't seem to know how to stop the slide. It's Sheridan-esque. They'll pick up eventually, but they'll be a long way adrift by then. Liverpool have a great chance to bag the title this season.

Off to the naughty step you go @Piethagoram!

Middlesbrough 2-0 Millwall (joker) Stoke City 1-1 Cardiff City Charlton Athletic 2-1 Mansfield Town Rotherham United 2-1 Northampton Town AFC Wimbledon 1-1 Doncaster Rovers Grimsby Town 1-3 Crewe Alexandra Altrincham 0-1 Sutton United Southend United 1-2 Hartlepool United

Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for another prediction league round - hopefully more than four games will go ahead this week! They all kick off at 3pm, and remember your joker! Middlesbrough v Millwall Stoke City v Cardiff City Charlton Athletic v Mansfield Town Rotherham United v Northampton Town AFC Wimbledon v Doncaster Rovers Grimsby Town v Crewe Alexandra Altrincham v Sutton United Southend United v Hartlepool United

The results: Luton Town 1-1 Swansea City Cambridge United 4-1 Shrewsbury Town Gillingham 1-0 Salford City Harrogate Town 0-3 AFC Wimbledon All other games: sadly POSTPONED --- Despite the weather really doing a number on this round, every one of you scored at least a point from our four remaining fixtures! The top scorers were @4everapie, @Chris and @william1984 with six each - congrats! --- This is our table overall. @Robbie moves a point clear of @ARLukomski after another strong round. There are only two points between the top three, but anyone in the top nine could be right up with them with a big-scoring round. I will inspect my crystal ball closely as I'm starting to fall adrift. --- That's yer lot for another week. The next proper football (I'm not counting this Europa nonsense) is on Saturday, so expect to see the next fixtures on Wednesday. Have a good week!

Our Christmas tree remains resolutely in its box. I organised most of my presents a couple of weeks ago, but I've still got no idea to get Mrs Sausage. If we want something, we usually just buy it. We've got plenty of booze and sparkly things already. In other news, I'm going to be crazily busy at work for the next two weeks. Roll on the 21st!

Greenwashing FC. FGR already have a perfectly good ground that they don't fill. When you've got a choice between building something and using what you've got, the most environmentally friendly policy is to stay put, even if it's one of those terribly unfashionable concrete stadiums. But I suppose they wouldn't get any press attention that way. Second, this is an out-of-town stadium at the side of the motorway, miles from anywhere. It will only be possible to reach it by car. So forget the rolling hills in the artist's impression - this place will be surrounded by car parks, just like any other soulless new build.

I agree @liampie,not all of them played together at Notts (and Effiong and Mackail-Smith were only here briefly) but all bar Alan Judge played alongside Michael Doyle! To be fair though, Effiong has played for nearly everyone now and this is his third spell at Woking (he was there before he was with us). It'll be fascinating to see how they get on at least.

The only decision the club could have made. They look small on the picture, but if one of them falls on you you'll know about it. Football-wise it doesn't come at a bad time either. A week off would do the team good, and one or two players may be back from injury by the time the rearranged fixture is played. And Colchester are on a decent run right now and may have fancied it on Saturday.

Selling him on the eve of the season didn't put out the most positive of messages, but with Grant - a long-term target - coming in I was inclined to give the club the benefit of the doubt. Now Nemane is contributing with his assists elsewhere while Jones and Grant are on the treatment table, it's safe to say this transaction hasn't gone well for us so far.

@Piethagoram he's saying "I didn't mean you" - they stopped playing because he whistled!

Check for postponements - you've got until 3pm if you want to change your joker!

We're nearly halfway now and it's close! @ARLukomski moves joint top with @Robbie, with @super_ram slipping a point behind. @william1984 is in triple figures and @Fan of Big Tone is almost in mid-table... --- The next round is on Saturday, so the fixtures are online now! Thanks for playing and good luck in the next round!

Christmas stuff already @Robbie? It's only just December! Our ornaments are staying firmly in their box for at least another two weeks. And Christmas songs? I've got to echo @Fan of Big Tone: However, I did go to the local Christmas market at the weekend, where I had my first mulled wine of the season. That's allowed, because I say it is. Enjoy your VIP experience @Chris, and don't forget to tell us how the other half live!

These matches kick off at 7.45pm on Tuesday. As the late, great Delia Smith* would say: @4everapie, @allardyces tash, @Blake, @cheeky~k8, @CliftonMagpie, @DonnyNotts, @Harry Buckley, @JIMBO, @Joshua, @JustLikeJuve, @magpiejue, @NottsLoyal, @NottsTastic, @OoooooTommy, @The Heff, @TheSkipper, @thommo, @upthepies * she's not dead, it just sounded cool.

I thought you were congratulating him on having the same user name for a year @Robbie he's a bit of a jinx that one... Seriously though, well done - we'll teach you the secret handshake in due course.
