    Yes but there’s professional s paid eye watering sums on the other team paid to stop them 🤷🏻‍♂️

    David Clowes rescued our club and appointed a manager who he believed would get us promoted back to the Championship.
    It looks like that bit has been done barring a ridiculous turn of events.
     
    What happens next? Lets leave it to David Clowes to continue to make good decisions, He's doing ok so far.

    I’d argue his Rotherham spells indicate very much that he can get more out of players as his promotion seasons from league one all coincided with “bigger, better resourced” clubs (the likes of Bolton, Portsmouth, Blackburn, Sunderland) being in the league and yet he got plucky ol’ Rotherham up into the championship at their expense. 
    It’s also clear that he’s not then done the business when he gets to the championship, that could be down to his ability as a manager/coach, it could be down to resource.
    We will recruit in the summer, there are a number of players out of contract and loan players who will return to parent clubs. For every “duff signing” some folk will be at pains to point out, he’s also shown he can pick a player with the likes of Adams, Nyambe, Nelson, Ward and Wilson all looking like good additions. 
    He’s earned a crack at the championship with Derby, provided we get there, but as I’ve said many times before…if we’re struggling when we’re in that league and fans turn then he’ll likely be shown the door, so these statements about being bottom 3 or bottom 6 and going down with him as he’s not a top coach almost feel like hollow hyperbole to me.
    He’s the manager for now, he’s probably won promotion, he’ll probably get a crack and if it’s not working he’ll be replaced and maybe they’ll do better.
    How did Watford and Hull get on in the end?

    It might surprise you to know that most of us know we have certain aging players in the autumn of their careers. You don’t need to be a genius to realise that going up a league will mean we need reinforcements and replacements. Are you after another medal for stating the obvious. ?

    Your posts seem to have particular themes .. this is one of them : State the obvious like it is some revelation that the rest of us have never even considered. So condescending. Pssst quite a few of us have been around a while, played the game and watched it at many levels over a lifetime
    Alex Ferguson once said .. The first rule of intelligence is to remember the other guy isn’t stupid.

    Genuinely never got the desire to be on the pitch. Is it cause it's a forbidden fruit? Something you don't usually get? Bit like people with foot fetishes I suppose.

    Why not? The club has a loud enough PA system to get messages across to the fans. Also the LED boards…
    Teams who finish second in League 1 get a ‘promotion trophy’.

    One point needed vs worst team in the league with a Derby legend as manager. And even if we lose, still will probably finish 2nd on goal difference. Basically in the bag. Nothing can wrong.
     
    Right?

    Well you have changed your tune a bit. Seems like you now realise it's possible to bring in some players over the summer.

    I hope we blow automatics and mess up in the playoffs. Or else it's going be a long season hiding behind the sofa, scared of the mighty Hull and this incredible Watford side.

    Presumably so you don't miss Milleniumram's and Brisvegas' pre-game pearls of wisdom, unbridled optimism and, of course, their absolute unparalleled confidence in their opinions being the only ones that matter. I know that's why I keep refreshing anyway!

    I think that, provided we're promoted, we should turn the Carlisle game into a Truth & Reconciliation event where, after the game, any fan who booed the team, sang "Paul Warne, your football is s*it", phoned into RD for a good old moan or screamed into Conor Hourihane's face at Stevenage should have the opportunity to do a lap of dishonour on their knees while receiving the forgiveness of the players, management and their fellow supporters.
    What do you guys think? 😉

    The club should just encourage fans to do it in a respectful way, being respectful to players, coaches, officials, and visiting fans.
    To warn people of criminal proceedings strikes me as mean-spirited.
    The fans have been on the PP pitch before. Southampton and Brighton at home in the play-offs, and during the victory parade after Wembley in 2007, for instance.
    If it’s done in the right spirit, it’s a natural way to celebrate and release those emotions.

    I don’t think there’ll be a pitch invasion at Cambridge.
    You can imagine though that there will be some kind of overspill if we score, especially in front of our own fans. Similar to the scenes at Port Vale.
    If we go into the Carlisle game needing a result and we get one, I am 99% sure there will be a pitch invasion. 
    Is it the right thing to do? Personally I think it depends on how you behave yourself. If people do it respectfully, I think it can be a joyous moment and let’s face it, these moments are few and far between.
    I certainly fondly remember dancing on the pitch in the rain after Southampton at home in the play-offs singing Que Sera Que Sera.

    It could be a good warm up for the following year when Warne masterminds promotion to the PL.

    It was an end of season tradition at the old BBG, sometimes even before the final whistle.🙄
