    Yes the Rutland still, exists. One of the few remaining pubs left around fratton park. Most have been turned into flats. 
    For those of you who fancy a few pre match beers the away pub is called the good companion. It's only a five minute walk from the away end, and they serve food and also have a car park. 
    To be honest you'd be welcome in any pub around the stadium.

    I always like to visit the assembly rooms, the eagle centre, duckworth square and the pink coconut....
     
    But then I don't think I've actually been out and about in Derby for about 25 years....😉

    All in here i'd imagine, even if it's only the pink coconut sign from a distance .  Probably about the right time frame as well.

    There are 3 frustrations really....
    - our once rock-solid defence with umpty-three consecutive clean sheets seems a thing of distant memory.
    - our manager repeating often made mistakes ie a midfield 2 including Hourihane
    - our misfortune with injuries and because we haven't blooded any academy players how exposed the squad is

    Perhaps you need to set some new, negative, objectives for the Blackpool game and the team/manager might fail all of those as well. 😀

    Upon the dreary canvas of this afternoon’s spectacle, painted with strokes of ineptitude and dashed hopes, one solitary silver lining emerged: the absence of my dear chum, Clarence Threapwood, the 9th Earl of Emsworth, from the lamentable affair. Engaged, fortuitously, in the matrimonial celebrations of a member of the DCFC fan’s forum, he was spared the spectacle of our team’s lamentable performance. Reports of the bride’s radiance and intellect, ample enough for two, provided a faint glimmer of mirth amidst the otherwise dismal proceedings, for surely she possessed wit enough to comprehend the gravity of her matrimonial choice. My only hope is the Groom’s despondency at the result doesn’t derail his wedding night.
    Alas, my afternoon was not blessed with such diversion, and I spent 90 minutes plus ten added praying for my fountain pen to give up the ghost.
    As I endured a woeful display of hoofball from Warne’s bobble hatted charges, bereft of precision, potency, or tenacity, against the hapless Northampton Town, who lack even a Subbuteo set to their name.
    Bradley, in particular, resembled naught but a flailing marionette caught in a tempest, with many an experienced undertaker being deceived by his appearance and starting to embalm on sight. To use the analogy of the sport of shooting Derby ended upon the wrong end of the gun, with a limp wristed display reminiscent of Torquay Utd at their best.
    Sonny’s subsequent banishment from the pitch, though regrettable, may indeed harbour a silver lining, for perhaps absence will lend him time to rediscover his vigour. As we face the looming encounter with Blackpool, the need for three points and a performance befitting professional footballers hangs heavy upon our shoulders, a task of Herculean proportions in our current state of disarray.
