Oh, well done sir!
As soon as I realised the player wasn't Adam Bolder, I just gave up, to be fair!  ?

I think the game is available through ramstv today for £10 if that helps in anyway

Jock on the Croc or Fozzy on the Aussie? 

Thounds delithious!
 

As a local lad to Stockport I have to say the gesture Phil has made playing for SCFC and donating his wages to the local community is brilliant ! Of course he has no money worries from his playing career but he didn’t need to do this. Top marks and a big up to Phil Bardsley 

Based on the seats  we had at Anfield, you could choose to sit or stand, but I guess the design might be different elsewhere.  Also the away section at Liverpool was sold as seats, so maybe they have to be locked to be strictly safe standing, but I could be wrong also!

Would be 39 today ? wasn’t too bad until his mum wished him a happy birthday on Facebook. Never forgotten mate ?

All 3 kids are getting their first kits For christmas, I was made to be a derby fan so will they! 
 
Clara continues to smash everything in her path, hospital free for over a year and quite remarkably exceeding her age group despite everything ? 
up the rams ?

I think its clear that safe standing is the way forward, so at Derby the south stand should be safe standing, and advertised as such. The away corner could then be split half standing, half sitting. Then enforce the rules, persistent standers are warned, then removed. Simple.
The current situation where persistent standing is stopping people attending an away game, is surely just a matter of observing/enforcing the rules, and a level of courtesy to others. I agree, the clubs doing nothing is really no longer an option.
 

Subbing out to a world leading massive international far-reaching company that "operates from its base in the UK’s sporting stronghold of Manchester" that provides "online, retail and end-to-end event solutions for over 30 partners across various sports", and who also "has relationships with globally recognised English Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga and Ligue 1 clubs, along with representation across all major US Sports Leagues, Golf, Rugby, F1, esports and Tennis" isn't all it's cracked up to be!
Hopefully Mr Clowes will acknowledge this in due time* and perhaps look to put the club shop back in the hands of the club, ran & managed by DCFC employees.
Currently, Derby County fans, as individuals, are far too small and insignificant for a company such as the mighty Fanatics Mega-Co to give two hoots about.
 
 
 
*I fully appreciate Mr Clowes almost certainly has more pressing matters to prioritise and attend to first, but there's no getting away from the fact that the club shop, the majority of the merchandise within it, the stock levels, and certainly the on-line arm of "The Shop", is a full on bucket of dog-poo, and many of us shy away from actually spending money in there, despite us having the financial means to, and as much as we'd like to!  

In my defence, I was referring to the (any) all-seater stadium, as a whole.  (Clearly we don't have 16,000+ standers in a sell out at Pride Park). 
However, ignoring that aspect, and assuming you are referring specifically to away sections, and specifically Derby away sections, can either of us claim to know how many are standing voluntarily, and how many are simply standing due to other's standing, and blocking their view should they remain seated?  I certainly can't, but that was the point I was trying... and clearly failing... to get across.
It is literally the domino effect in reverse, due to the design of the seating areas.
But I'm fully aware that, yes, the majority of our away fans currently do stand.  That wasn't my point, and I should have made that clearer.
Without further info/data/statistics (Exit Poll!), I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree.
I'm not even advocating the current rules.  My opinion on that matters not.  The rules are in place, have been in place for years, and it seems annually, clubs have become more and more lenient towards those that break these rules... and more and more posters on here are occasionally now speaking out against the standers.
So they should... in my opinion.

I agree with what you’re saying re the long term solutions, but for the here and now, clubs can simply announce that they are clamping down, and activating the rules that are already in place. They could even offer an unofficial compromise whereas for the first game, standers are merely warned. Next game, they go out. 
yes, it will take time to come up with long term solutions, to effectively suit all… or the majority.
But at the moment, the majority are losing out, as the minority are being allowed to ignore current rules/legislation. 
I repeat, that is wrong!
 

I'm trying really, really hard not to doubt you mate.  And I am most certainly reluctant to accuse you of deliberate falsehoods, so I'm more than happy to accept what you say.
However, I just find it fascinating, that merely by standing up from a seated position, and losing balance, someone can fall over nine rows of seats, to the tenth row below.
No pushing, no surging, no shoving, no shenanigans, no intoxication.  No clear aisles, but actually over the rows of seats.
And not just once, as you refer to these experiences in the plural.  You are blessed, to have witnessed such scenes.  
 
I beg you mate... please, please, please take your phone next time, and video it.  At the very least, you could make £250 of that Jeremy Hill fella, or whatever his name is.

Give me Kumbaya any day of the week over songs about Stan Collymore’s choice of headwear.

Yes. But I draw the line at people taking mars bars into Pride Park, which is a flagrant breach of the rules. We need to root out those yobs!

Used to know! ? ? ?

Mine is the phrase "living my best life".  Someone at work has it as there go to phrase 3 times a day for the last 2 years as they go on and on about doing something else. This will happen soon.
 

Well I won’t be buying Sainsbury’s single donuts for a long time. Nor will I try any virtue signalling again in a hurry.
