Good shout, unfinished business maybe. Not sure re John Bloor and family and their interest in football ? Thread needed after the final game.
I think it's unlikely that John Bloor would amass several hundred million and then at the age of 80 start chucking it at a football club but you never know.
One of the next generation of Kirklands might want on to the board.

Gadsby?
Only one I can think of 🤔😂
Clowes developments have just teamed up with Wavensmere Homes to develop Friar Gate Goods Yard (£75 million) and Wavensmere are developing the old DRI site (£175 million) so they are heavily invested in Derby. Could be putting two and two together to get five but I'd guess it's more likely than Gadsby.

Yep memory loss
The Dev is more of a restaurant, We moved in there when the Rifleman shut, But getting a table was a pain, So used outside...in winter 🥶
Then moved onto the Railway on Kings St
They've done a very good job of the decor, And yes...only snacks...ie cheese board, Bowls of chips n the like
Glad to hear the Rifleman's is open again. Used to go in there several times a week when I worked at t'Mill - they had a very good pint of Pedigree but that was almost twenty years ago.

I can recommend the fish and chips in both establishments, along with Doombar at less than £2 a pint
Whats not to like
Careful now, too many comments like that and @Eddie will be setting his trappist monks on you.

Was thinking about trying Mount Everest so I'm interested in what you're saying on that.
Anoki is hugely overpriced for what you get imo. Lots of better Indian restaurants out there.
It's a while since I've been to Mount Everest but I've always had a good meal there. The Nepalese dishes are very good though you can get a Madras or Korma etc. if you want.

Not on match day (Away fans not allowed) but a trip to the Neptune is recommended. 3 Indian restaurants close to each other. Anoki on London Road which is excellent but expensive. Round the corner on Midland Road you have two, the Viceroy which is cheapish, good but comes in 3rd place. Middling for price and very good food you have Shalimar Gold. Wagamama in the Derbion (mall) is good.
I went to Anoki last weekend and they're really pushing a limited menu for March which I didn't think was good value. I think the Viceroy is on a par with Anoki but I'd also mention Mount Everest on London Road for a good Nepalese and Gurkha beer.
The Pepperpot restaurant has just opened on London Road https://www.pepperpotderby.co.uk/

Just finished watching "The Dropout" on BBC IPlayer.
Fascinating story (I already knew about having watched a documentary about it some where) and an entertaining series.
I really enjoyed The Dropout, saw it on Disney a few months back.
I also enjoyed WeCrashed on Apple and Dopesick on Disney. Both are similar stories of delusional/dangerous company leaders.
You can get 3 months of Apple TV+ by signing up to Currys Perks email and you can get 3 months of Disney with Tesco clubcard points.

If you're staying near to the ground and want somewhere close to eat I'd recommend Niccos if you like curry www.niccorestaurant.com/ or Seven www.sevenrestaurant.co.uk/ otherwise.
These might be worth a visit:

Does Robins still live in Allestree?

At what point does a people begin to take responsibility for the state of it's nation. You can't impose peace, social responsibility, law and order etc from outside, or can you?
Very difficult. I fear that the commissioners sent into N********m City Council have a thankless task.

I’d imagine Tickner plays, and Donald will be in with a shout.
I was at Colwyn Bay for Donald's 234. If he can bat like that this season I'll be very happy.
Of course Whiteley is available for Red Ball cricket, not sure if he's played any recently but it would be nice if he could hit the runs that get us promoted again.

...has announced her retirement from competitive cycling.
I thought she deserved her own thread as one of Britain's greatest Olympians and greatest cyclists of either sex, but also as the epitome of a grounded, modest superstar. She and her husband Jason are no 'Posh and Becks' just great examples of how to deal with sporting success and all that comes with it.
I remember seeing Laura Trott as she was at Derby Velodrome in 2015 in a pre-Rio Olympics event. I wasn't that familiar with the different races then but she really did stand out and that's at an event with Wiggins, Cavendish, Clancy et al. That event sold out the Velodrome for all three days - it's a shame they haven't had anything like it since.
Of course Jason Kenny will be at Pride Park on Sunday as he's running the Derby 10k for charity.

You would think someone would test it before going live.
I do have a bit of sympathy as you're never going to test enough to cover all browsers, versions and ad ons etc.
I've just done a bit more testing and my Firefox beta version (123) doesn't work but version 115 tried from our server in Dublin works fine.

I get that on Firefox but not Chrome. It's been like that since they changed the design a week or two back.

The Holdovers
Quite a simple plot, a teacher, a cook and a student remain on campus at a boarding school over Christmas.
Mix of humour and heartbreak, with excellent acting from all 3 main actors (the hiring process for Dominic Sessa is a good read) who had great chemistry throughout. The cinematography was brilliant as well. Superb.
Will Hughes/10
Saw this at the Odeon on Monday evening, very good and far more entertaining than whatever it was I did last night.

Should’ve put a bet on. There’s 3 certainties in life - death, taxes, and Derby throwing away leads
I put £4 on Charlton to win just after we scored.
Cashed out with a £70 profit.
I'm not happy about the result but at least I've got an extra £70.

I see a drop in season tickets next season if we stay down. I love that we are second but down to players and a poor league but not once have I been to a home game and enjoyed the game.
I vaugely enjoyed Barnsley at home but apart from that it's mostly dreck. You'd have to be in Cowes Cuckoo Land to think that people will pay an extra £60 to watch the same Warneball excrement next year.

The Radio Derby Rams Archive still exists
https://www.bbc.co.uk/derby/rams/derby_county_audio.shtml
Unfortunately since the last time I tried it the audio files seem to have been removed. Be nice if Radio Derby could update this but I doubt that would be a priority for them.

And you are free to think what you like, but unless you counted every person in the crowd I’ll go by what club execs told me, and which formed the basis for discussion in a work environment, I imagine they have a far better idea than you. Why would they lie?
There were times at the Baseball Ground when Keith Loring would decide what the attendance was. I think for the Crystal Palace promotion game the reported attendance was several hundred less than the numbers through the turnstiles as the actual number was more than the official capacity.

A third didn't attend though? I know it was a Tuesday night but that sounds like a staggeringly high number and is almost too insane to believe.
Thinking about our block in the West lower which is all season tickets and mostly people that have been going for 10+ years I'd say that for a game against mid to lower end of the table opposition on a cold Tuesday night somewhere between 20% and 30% wouldn't bother.

Sorry, don't have a link...
Word in da hood is that there is to be an upcoming closure of the shared footpath/cycle path (Route 6), as it exits/enters the NE corner of Alvo Park heading for PPS (and onwards to City Centre, of course)... specifically that tiny little bit that dips under the railway bridge that has had scaffolding on it for months and months!
Apparently to be closed from 21:00hrs Sat 2nd March to 17:00hrs Friday 26th April.
Not checked our fixtures, but I'd imagine this will have some effect for those parking over that way and walking (or cycling) in on matchdays?
No idea whether official/marked detours will be signed?The non-committal to the shooting of any messengers during these difficult times would be most appreciated.

Details of the detour here https://derbycyclinggroup.org.uk/site/2024/02/riverside-path-diversion/
You can detour round the top of the City Point estate following the route left for the canal should it ever reopen.

We were promoted the first two seasons I had a season ticket, all seemed very easy. I even remember going to Villa Park where if we'd won we'd have gone top of the league. It's not quite been all downhil since then but I've definitely learnt to enjoy the good bits because there can be a lot of average inbetween.
I think the last time I was on the pitch was after the Southampton game (thanks Iñigo). Had been working in Swansea until mid afternoon, three trains and a taxi from the station got into PPS 10 minutes into the game - had to walk home in a suit that was totally drenched but it didn't matter by then.
