For comparison, the other attendances last night: 

22k on a weeknight, for a game that's live on Sky, is a good attendance.

That tells you a lot though doesn’t it,  that we don’t know the details of his claim?
The truth here is not difficult to discern. Gibson and Morris detest each other. The reasons are lost in the mists of time and who cares? 
 
But we, Derby, are now in the position where - but for these claims - our club would have been sold in January. 
 
You say that Gibson has no desire to see Derby fold. You’re missing the point. The point is, his vendetta against Morris has pushed our sale back, he has trashed Rooney’s transfer window and he has put us at serious risk of liquidation. Our club is collateral damage in his nasty, squalid scrap and that is not acceptable to us. And I believe Gibbo also calculates that if he damages us, MM will be forced to pay for the repair, and he likes that. We see what has gone on and it is not acceptable to us.   
 
All is revealed in Gibson’s open letters - cleverly drafted by his PR and legal team. They are disingenuous, misleading and largely irrelevant to whatever the claim might be. And with each letter, the goalposts move, now it’s FFp, now it’s the stadium. (Don’t worry, we know Morris’ letter is not much better.) There is nothing confidential in his claim, so why has it not been articulated in the public arena? We know the answer. 
 
Even Couhig (whose behaviour is possibly even more revolting than Gibson’s) has had the sense to realise that to threaten a claim in these circumstances and without fully articulating it is beyond the pale. 
 
The outcome here will most likely be that MM will put in place arrangements to indemnify the club, that those arrangements will remain in place for several years at significant cost to Morris and that the claims will never be brought. (Mission accomplished for Gibbo, the worst kind of playground bully.)  And that Couhig will slither away to begin another attempt to exploit some legal system or other. 
 
Our owner has done a few shameful things in recent years. Nothing on the scale of what yours is currently up to 
 
 

From what I remember, they basically said 'Boro couldn't join in the appeal, or effectively start their own disciplinary hearing. But if they wanted to try and claim damages from any breaches we were found of guilty of, they weren't blocked from trying that. But I can't square that with 'Boro trying to complain about the stadium again. The only case that might have even the chance of being allowed to proceed, let alone be successful, is damages for the amortisation breach IMO.

You'll never guess which club's 2017 accounts this comes from:

Because literally nobody trusts the EFL's arbitration process.

And more importantly, do we get to randomly recalculate other clubs accounts to look for breaches?  If half of what Mel Morris claimed was true in his statement, there's millions to be made in there.
