EFL LEAGUE ONE - MATCHDAY 1
Derby County v Oxford United
Pride Park Stadium
30th July 2022 - 15:00
We're going to win this one. Quote me, screenshot me, @ me.

What are you on about ??

Never, ever, doubt yourself Mucker. You don't need any help whatsoever.
 
Still got the sombreros?

Well now. That’s just gonna make folk wonder what the hell I’m on about. 
In fact, I’d go as far as to say you’ve now made me look like an imbecile!
 
No, no… there’s no need for you to respond! ?

They've only just got promoted!  Why on earth would he want them to drop straight back to the Championship? ?‍♂️ 

Thanks for the supporting words, there are a few of us and we could easily do a museum if the club facilitated it, once everything is in place on the pitch and the club begins to function again will have a sit down with Mr Clowes and hopefully make some progress ?

Ok, Ok, I've changed it. Park yer OCD !

Great gesture, from a true Rams legend.
However, being top scorer in the "1961-72 season" must have taken it's toll!  I bet he's still out of puff even now!  ?

However many good natured people "invade" the pitch after a promotion, title win, or play off qualification, I'd wager there are more in the stands (and/or on the terraces, where applicable) hoping that the players catch their breath, then return to join in the celebrations/receive the adulation of the crowd/thank the fans for their loyal support/wave their goodbyes after retiring from a 20 year playing career, with devotion in their hearts, and tears in their eyes... etc ... etc!

Has gotta be better than...
  + Oh...  erm... Well, maybe they'll pop up into the directors box, if we're lucky!  
 
 
I literally don't care how many people tell me how "fantastic" it was being on the pitch in the rain after the Southampton game.  "Pfft", I say unto them!
Seeing the glorious sun glisten off that trophy as our whiter-than-white-topped heroes proudly paraded around the full perimeter of the pitch... thanking us... celebrating WITH us... waving to us... and holding that silver beauty aloft for each and every one of us to catch more than a fleeting glimpse... was not only my first ever post match experience*, but something I will cherish for eternity, taking the memory to my grave... No doubt with my heart still proudly pumping!  ?
 
*Yeah... OK... I did kinda expect that every week, to be fair!   ?
 
 
 
 
 
PS:
OK, we were away... but how many on here claim that night at Elland Rd to be right up there as their best ever footy night?  That's because the players had the opportunity to join in the celebrations.  Teamwork!  Players, fans (and Mel! ?) in perfect harmony!

 
 
 

Looked like the girls know how to party..... 
 
..... Scatter!

Come on now don’t be sexist. So is Graeme Souness.

The worst period of attending matches, were when the fences were up. We dont want to go back to them again, so any banning measures are ok with me.  Fans who want to run onto the pitch will have to think twice before doing it. Everybody is responsible for their own behavior at the end of the day.

No mate.  Anyone can own a corner flag, regardless of nationality.

Just settled down to watch my first ever women's footy... and saw a cracking goal within the first 2mins of me tuning in!  ⚽
Is it always this exciting?
 

Something needs to be done, so a yes from me.
Pyrotechnics have no place in crowds of folk with little opportunity for a short, sharp escape route.
Individual pitch invaders are tedious at best, embarrassing by their very nature, and a threat to those trying to carry out their job on the pitch.  I would add to that though, that they need to put a stop to ALL pitch invasions.  Last day celebrations? Play off wins?  Relegation avoidance? Yep, those too!
The authorities cannot... and should not... afford to pick and choose who to report, who to punish, and when to turn a blind eye.
I'm all for a cracking atmosphere.  I'm all for passion.  Crikey, I've even been known to be a tad boisterous myself, on the occasional weekend!
But we have to draw lines, and we have to stay on the right side of them.
But if they're gonna talk the talk, they need to be seen to be walking the walk!
I repeat... It's a yes from me.

i don't pretend to have all the answers of how to best improve fan behavior, a problem with deeper roots in societal structure, but i know what i don't like.
A personal monkey cage for each fan would solve many problems with fan behavior, except perhaps spitting and poo chucking.

With respect my friend, is there any possibility you may change your stance once a player gets stabbed... or do you need to wait until that happens, as (understandably) you can't see into the future?
Let's just find a way to keep 'em off, eh?  The "KEEP OFF THE GRASS" sign doesn't seem to be achieving much!
Better to be seen to be trying, than not trying at all?  No?

I remember it well. I used to get Stephensons Rocket to St Pancras after being up chimneys all Satdee morning.
