Need to man up.
Just one espresso in, and I've already shed tears this morning.
Gonna be a wreck by 2:30.

Bloody football, eh!

 

3 more espressos in now... manning up as I type...

#Warne Up

I hate to be pedantic on a day that is meant to be all about enjoyment, spontaneity and emotion, but I've just had a horrible thought...

Will I seriously get in with these, or should I hide them down my pants...

Let him stand. It's been so long since he could stand, jump around and do the bounce without being in pain. He deserves his moment of happiness, and this time although he won't be with the people he loves (not in body, but definitely in mind) he will be celebrating with Brian and Peter, with Steve Bloomer, Reg Harrison...... and he will be just as infectious with them as he was (and still is) with us.

Oh, don't get me wrong, my sit down order was 100% for his own good.  I never met the lad, but it was quite clear how bloody clumsy he could be!  I worry for him, and it's a bloody big fall from up there!  😲

Well, we're here buddy.

Enjoy it.  Savour it.  Share it.
... and don't fall off that feckin' cloud!  Sit thasen down!

Luv yer.

Beautiful that.
I'll not see it today, but I'll make a point some time soon to take a diversion to get a good look at it.
Looks fantastic!  

... and then I woke up, and realised it was just a nightmare!  Phew!  

Looking on up to our spirt in the sky...

May our flanges flutter gently amongst the sighs from above.
May our ballions float heavenwards, and our day end in tears of joy.

Today, we stand together.  Hand in hand.  There will be no absentees.  There will be no dear departed.

He's with us... and we're with him.

Anybody get much sleep??? Wide awake at 5:30…

Only gone and "over lay" didn't I.  7am!  I only normally sleep that long in a tent!  Usually up between 5-6am.  Must be the latest I've woken since October!  😲
Still... at least I probably won't nod off at the game today, so that's nice!  👀

I donated mine to a couple of young lads on the way out.
No way was I walking home looking like that!  🤣

I think some of you need to pop over to the Derby County flags thread... some latest pics appear to show posts and netting twixt seats and pitch, and it doesn't look like it's there to keep the birds off! 👀

Could Mr Clowes have pulled a fast one?  🤷‍♂️

Sounds like it’ll just be me and @Mucker1884 left in the stands at full time. I’ll give you a wave. 

@Kathcairns is also putting up a determined stance, to be fair.

... But I reckon she'll crack.  She'll probably be on there before the final whistle, if we go 3 up!  😉😁

Alvaston Park , Meadow Lane , Alvaston , Derby , DE248QQ , entrance is off London Rd , free and a nice walk round the lake brings you out behind JJB and the away coaches

I'd Imagine a full 30min trek (at best!) from The Racecourse to Alvo park within an hour of a sell out kick off at PP?  🤷‍♂️

Perhaps @Mucker1884 could organise something 😎

Not a chance mate.  After the roaring success of my last effort, I'm going out on a high!  😁

Some fun sponges on here today!

 

What a poor response.

... some of us have been here all week!  🤣

I’m not sure it’s that spontaneous given some people are already declaring their intent.

Good point well made sir.

Reeks of a mobocracy to me!  There's probably a meeting going on right now... underneath Friargate somewhere, I'd wager... along with the other rats!

Can someone please confirm when we play? It's not the first time that I've seen Sunday!

I spotted that too.

I took it (pure guess) to mean all bets stand at that time, as opposed to it relating directly to the match/kick off time.

The league positions aren't gonna change between final whistle on Saturday to Sunday noon.

PS:  Yes... kick off is 12:30 Saturday... BST!  👍

The way I see it, why rush to do it on the first day or two when there might well be teething problems and why leave it until the last day or two when you might forget, encounter technical problems or have another unexpected commitment that means you might not have time?

Oh, I hear you buddy.  And all fair points.  👍
Like I say, my day one renewal (this year) came about purely due to circumstances, and had there been any first day teething problems, I'd have just took a step back until it was sorted.

TBH, I don't think I ever renewed online until covid.  I was always a big advocate for sorting it face to face in the ticket office before then, and wasn't particularly comfortable doing it on line.  Same with individual match tickets (for family glory hunters, or for the odd away games/play offs for myself), but that's an easy option for me, as I pass it at least 10 times a week anyway... actually make that effectively at least 5 times, as I don't think they're open when I pass at 06:50 every morning!  😁

Unless there are exceptional circumstances, I never understand why some people renew on the first day or wait until the final day.

I've always left it to the last week or so in the past (not specifically the last day though!) ... but this year, I did it on day one... for no other reason than I got reminded on here, and was sat around twiddling my thumbs in front of the PC at work.

I can't imagine there's "A bad time to renew", is there?  🤷‍♂️

Mel Morris used to own my house. 

Please tell me you didn't pay £80,000,000 for it! 😲

Yes, of course, some cannot come onto the pitch. Ideally, the club gives us 10 minutes to bask in the warmth or rain and then is strict in getting us off the hallowed turf so they can come on and do the lap of honour in front of everyone. 

Will this include police dogs off the leash, and half a dozen batons?
Can I change my vote?

Just now, DarkFruitsRam7 said:

Do you nip abroad for RamsTV?

No.  I've only watched live RamsTV when Mel lobbed it in as a freebie during covid.

... But to help you out though, I have been done for breach of the peace (aka football hooliganism) many years ago (1981? v Watford) and have racked up 9 speeding points, albeit not all at the same time, so I'm clearly no saint. Why, I even have a French speeding fine on record... and even an eviction from a Sheffield football stadium, due to my half time behaviour in their toilets (True story, bro!)

I've even had a WPC approach me at the back of the away terrace at Stamford Bridge to ask me to refrain from exposing my genitalia out of the bottom of my shorts... but that's such a long and boring story and not at all embarrassing*, so I won't bore you all with the details!

Would you prefer I backed out of the debate, now my past misdemeanours have been publicly aired and shamed me for eternity?  Or can I crack on wumming this thread, as it's my all time favourite to date!  🤷‍♂️

*Not embarrassing for me, but it clearly was for the WPC, who had obviously drew the short straw, as her 3 male colleagues looked on in raptures!  Poor lass!

Like I said I’m genuinely not fussed either way, but at no point did I look at the leverkusen or Pompey fans and think, “they’re all breaking the law and defying the clubs wishes”

Well, that goes without saying.  I assumed nothing else.  👍
