Hi everybody, I just want you know I and other friends of the Italian Magpies will be in Nottingham next week for the game v Colchester. We are 9 from Italy and 4 italians who live in Uk.
If you are interested we can meet on Saturday. I think in the morning we will have a few beers in some pubs, maybe "Ye Olde Trip To Jerusalem", "The Navi", photo in front of the Robin Hood Statue, lunch at MLB and game in the Kop.
I hope I can share with you all the other details in the next few days.
We are very excited to be once again in the Black and White Nottingham.
If you have Facebook, please join us in the event and share it with your friends! https://www.facebook.com/events/423735814382447/
SEE YOU IN NOTTINGHAM!
Due to the nature, I think it's pretty 'general' so I've posted here.
Media Team on the Official Facebook Page shared this https://vine.co/v/bQivn3rpj7i#
Pretty interesting, although I have seen the room in person awhile back. It's nice to see it's progressing and it does look much nicer than Sol Campbell tried making out, even though some changes/improvements have been made.

Sad to see Kelly leave, a good player with a good attacking flare. He was a decent wing back but Liddle has proven he can fulfill the same role but with better defensive skills. Sad to see him leave but if it frees up a bit more transfer budget....
Onward and Upwards!
One of my favorite player pics I've taken!

Striker John Cofie has been released by Manchester United and is now a free agent. He showed good promise when he was Notts and managed to grab a goal. But is another young striker what we need? I'm unsure. We certainly need an experienced quality striker but could John Cofie add to our fire power?

There's some good players in our youth system, I feel it's good to see us 'developing' them and with the right push, hopefully some can play a bigger role in our first team. Kyle Dixon had a pretty good game last Friday against Walsall, he reminded me Neal Bishop with his calm collected way of playing. He looked up for it, often making up for the odd mistake he made also.
He's confirmed that a professional contracts been offered and I personally hope to see a few others follow in his foot steps.
When was the last time we pushed our youth system like this? Surely it's the early 90's to the late 80's?

I bumped into @jurgenpie in the navi, he mentioned that he would be attending and I had wanted to go but I don't like being out of sorts. I ended up going, it was nice. It's things like this which will do 'family clubs' proud and the cost being £25, two course meal was easily worth it with the amount of fun I had.
Sat on the same table as Gary Liddle's parents, which I couldn't resist showing them my son - wearing his 'Every Liddle Helps'.
You could see the delight on his parents faces, really humble and I am delighted myself. I think Gary's father really liked the praise that PoN did by the T-Shirt, as I know Gary himself does.
Very proud to have my photo taken with him, many thanks to Jurgen again. ![]()
Have you ever attended one and what are your thoughts on the people who won the awards?

It's starting to be a little harder to choose the 'Member of the Month', as we've got a very nice little community. Everyone plays a vital role, I realize I go on about this but I hope it's seen for the right reasons. I struggled at first, I wasn't sure who to give it to and then I encountered some personal problems ending up forgetting to set the nominated member.
Myself and Cheeky greatly appreciate the support of all the members, so praising one member seems awkward for us both.
We've decided that a consistent member deserves the praise, so we have awarded @2piesonmyshirt March's Member of the Month.
Dave's contributions have seen him nominated and considered the past 2 months, narrowly pipped both times. This Month we've noticed he's been the ideal candidate with his regular posting of topics, friendliness and interacting with others. Along side at least 4 other members, however I read everything posted (very nosey says Kate) so I realize the efforts of many. It's nice to praise members in this way, 2pies does a great job.
Please take time to congratulate him,.As a community it is nice to see members acknowledging each other and this is something I am very proud of all our members for doing.
Thank you!

Here's hoping we can end on a high with a third straight win tommorow. Coventry's season was snatched from them and they've been in poor form ever since, pretty confident. If we play like we did last weekend there's no reason why we can't win.
Hope you all have a good day, make the most of it it's the last game for a few months. Where's the season gone eh? Dosen't seem like a few weeks ago we were at Crewe on the opening day.
I'll be off to Arlesey Town for Weymouth's final game of the season. We've got nothing but pride to play for but Arlesey could make the play-offs with a win. It's set up to be a pretty exciting final day in the Southern League with 4 teams fighting for 2 play-off spots.
If Gosport Borough better Barwell's result they'll ****** 5th spot, but if Barwell win they're in. But if both Gosport and Barwell lose and Arlesey beat us, Arlesey will ****** the final play-off spot.
Hemel Hempstead Town are 4th, and a draw will be enough for them to secure a play-off spot. However if they lose two of Barwell, Gospot & Arlesey could make the play-offs. Exciting stuff!

Bish has been a fantastic captain for this club and I am sorry to hear that he has decided to stand down from the role. He came on as a substitute yesterday and Leacock offered him the armband and he waved his hand to indicate Dean could keep it. I hope this doesn't mean he won't be with us next season. He does seem to have been unhappy this year with managerial changes and taking comments by a few so called fans to heart. He has always given 100% on the pitch and there has been some memorable moments including scoring a fab goal against Man City and he also likes to use his backside but they all count! Thanks for being an inspirational captain.

So now the curtains have been drawn on this season, what do you guys make of how Notts got on?
Who was your best player, your highlight, your lowlight, the turning points of the season, your hopes and fears for next season?

I use BT for phone, TV and broadband.
I have just tried to find out when my BT contract ends, I went to the "contact us" page on the website and whilst I was looking a live chat box appeared and a representative asked me if they could help, so I said I was looking for my contract end date and she gave me the date and asked me why I was asking. I said I was looking at other options so she said she might be able to get me a better deal if I wanted.
She came up with a better deal giving me BT infinity free of charge, unlimited TV, weekends and evenings free calls for only £30 a month plus line rental on a 12 month contract, saving £14.45 per month - result.
I would urge anyone who's contract is coming to an end with BT, Sky, Virgin Media etc., to contact them and tell them they are thinking of leaving, 99% of the time you will get a better deal.

Huge crowds lined the streets of Mansfield today as the bus wa*kers (if you've seen the Inbetweeners, you'll get it) celebrated winning theBlue Square Premier!
![]()
I can't lie, I was quietly hoping they'd throw it away but 'swallows pride' fair play to them, they've been on a great run and they probably deserved it. I don't know many Mansfield fans, most of those I do know aren't the most pleasent people although I am happy for our good friend Mr Dan Westwell who is one of the nicer people you could wish to meet ![]()
Now enough of the niceiness towards one of our local rivals! ![]()

Have to say well done County in this final played at Bescot Stadium. You were very well supported (easily half of the crowd were from Notts) and made yourselves heard with terrific backing. The 4-2 scoreline to Saddlers don't give a true reflection of the closeness of the game. With Walsall 2-1 up and awarded a penalty it was looking a bit ominus for County but a terrific penalty save then a goal scored at the other end forced the game into extra time. I thought the referee had an absolute stinker and gave some very strange decisions. Sitting amongst the County fans, I fully sympathise with how the ref did at times to be biased towards Walsall. Some of your bookings were harsh and when your man walked for two yellows I thought you would struggle but no the ten men did you proud at it wasn't till the last couple of minutes when Walsall went 4-2 up that the final looked over. Best part of the night for me was meeting Joe, the fine leader of this excelent site. It was an absolute pleasure to meet and chat with you mate and to meet Jake-what a great kid he is and a credit to you and Kate. A nice little picture taken by Jakey himself...

Liverpool risking reputation with reaction to Luis Suárez bite controversy
Although the reaction from Anfield was swift and serious, Liverpool's determination to retain their prize asset at all costs undermines their condemnation of his actions
Full Article
This is just odd, the guy is very talented but he's a loose wagon. Clearly feels he can get away with his antics! He should be punished more seriously, he should be banned for 3-5 games as his attitude continues.

Paolo' story of the Italian Magpies day at the Meadow Lane:
The morning starts with a train journey that, due to changes and delays, takes longer than it should, adding tiredness on my sleepy eyes as coming from a night shift. I can barely keep my eyes open. Few minutes before entering Nottingham station my mobile rings. It's Andy calling me to arrange the meeting place and all the tiredness disappear in an instant! At the pub we met with the other Italian Magpies (and other Notts fans) and the first one I instantly recognise (I never met any of them before but only kept contacts on Facebook) is Giorgio, that standing tall outside the pub reminds me of a kind of a "gate keeper" ..YOU SHALL ENTER ONLY IF YOU'RE TRULY WORTHY OF THE BLACK AND WHITE COLOURS, STRANGER!..
immediately I met all the IM and click with all of them, for different reasons but the main link is the love for Notts that binds us all into one. It seems corny, I know, but that's so very true. Walking to Meadow Lane was another chance for me and my son to share few words with other fans and I so regret I did not have more time to spend in
Nottingham and indeed with this great bunch of people but unfortunately I had to catch an early train straight after the match..but that's the end of the story..as going back to what I was writing earlier, after walking to Meadow Lane we met the wonderful Aileen Trew who was so extremely kind, especially with my son, giving gifts for all my three children and saying how much she appreciated the video that was done for her birthday. It was so touching to see such an important person at Notts to be so down to earth and so kind. Then we went through the stadium's gates and I was expecting just to go to our seats but..they planned for us to go through the tunnel that leads the player onto the field! And inside we were! Our names read out by the speaker..
Notts fans clapping..players just next to us..unbelieavable. That day and that evening I struggled to fall asleep because, even if I was dead tired, I was still buzzing from the wonderful, magical, FANTASTIC experience. I have been in the uk for 13 years but only in Nottingham, only at Meadow Lane, only April 13th 2013, I finally felt at home. Many clubs call themselves "family club" but Notts Couty really is family and feels like family.
COME ON YOU PIES! Now and Forever!

Does anyone remember this scoreboard. There used to be a man in there with lots of numbers and you had to look in the programme to see which matches A, B, C etc were. At half time he put numbers in the corresponding windows to show the scores up and down the country.
He always used to tease us when putting up the Fword score, if he had a 3 in his hand he would go to put in one side or the other and then back again, so we didn't know whether they had scored 3 or had 3 scored against them. Obviously if they were losing a big cheer would go up or groan if winning.
Always used to make me laugh.

I had to go down town today, so I took advantage of being there and had a nice walk to Meadow Lane. We've got our tickets sorted, so this will defiantly be Ellie's first visit to an away game (despite now telling me she isn't going). I think the fact Kate won't be coming, it makes her a little nervous but if Jake can be fine around new people I know Ellie can.
Not only is Jake excited, I am. I think this will be the game to give the players a good sending off, which I'm sure Coventry will also be but hopefully if Doncaster gain promotion we'll see them become inspired.
With the football from the previous game (Colchester) I think there's much more to be positive about, the fact the majority of fans wanted to see youngsters included and we have seen it work, hopefully Doncaster can be another game where we can see some of our other players establish themselves as League One players, don't get me wrong the odd game doesn't make a player but it's the ultimate boost. Nangle will be full of confidence and I hope we cheer them all on, even the players who some feel haven't been giving 100%.
The game will very much go down to control and determination in my opinion, I think they'll come at us and try to hit us hard. Possible, aiming to make vulnerable weaker but this is where the experience and team work can have it's own impact.
I think we'll see a 2-2 draw, I just have this feeling we'll take the lead and hold them at 2-1 until the final minutes but it could go anyway really.
COYP!!

The 31-year-old has emerged as one of the top schemers in League One and now his situation is being closely monitored.
Bishop joined County from Barnet in 2009 and has been an ever-present since, starting over 150 league games.
Now Sky Sports understands that the likes of Barnsley, Blackpool, Milton Keynes Dons and Sheffield United are all keeping tabs on him.
A spokesman for McHale Sports, who look after Bishop, confirmed: "There is some interest in Neal.
"It is something that we will be looking at in the summer."

The Grim Reaper came for me last night, and I beat him off with a vacuum cleaner. Talk about Dyson with death.
A mate of mine recently admitted to being addicted to brake fluid. When I quizzed him on it he reckoned he could stop any time...
I went to the cemetery yesterday to lay some flowers on a grave. As I was standing there I noticed 4 grave diggers walking about with a coffin, 3 hours later and they're still walking about with it. I thought to myself,
they've lost the plot!!
My daughter asked me for a pet spider for her birthday, so I went to our local pet shop and they were £70!!! Blow this, I thought, I can get one cheaper off the web.
I start a new job in Seoul next week. I thought it was a good Korea move.
I was driving this morning when I saw an AA van parked up. The driver was sobbing uncontrollably and looked very miserable. I thought to myself that guy's heading for a breakdown.
My neighbour knocked on my door at 2:30am this morning, can you believe that, 2:30am?! Luckily for him I was still up playing my Bagpipes.
I woke up last night to find the ghost of Gloria Gaynor standing at the foot of my bed. At first I was afraid... then I was petrified.
The wife was counting all the 1p's and 2p's out on the kitchen table when she suddenly got very angry and started shouting and crying for no reason. I thought to myself, "She's going through the change."
Bought some 'rocket salad' yesterday but it went off before I could eat it!
A teddy bear is working on a building site. He goes for a tea break and when he returns he notices his pick has been stolen. The bear is angry and reports the theft to the foreman. The foreman grins at the bear and says "Oh, I forgot to tell you, today's the day the teddy bears have their pick nicked."
Just got back from my mate's funeral. He died after being hit on the head with a tennis ball. It was a lovely service.
