  1. The modifier you're missing out on is the emotional component for a lot of people. I go to Derby games because I like watching football and I have an emotional connection to the club. I don't expect to be entertained, because it's not guaranteed.
  2. I can't see anything to confirm numbers, but it would appear so: https://soccerhint.com/sky-bet-league-1-prize-money-the-analysis/ Figures from last year, winners got £600k, runner up got £500k, with the average across all teams to £230k.
  3. There was a brief rumour about his interest when we were in admin, IIRC?
  4. It's not that there's anything outrageous about this statement, there isn't. Of course, he's right, but it's also blindingly obvious; loans going back and contracts expiring - we'll need those signings regardless of the league we find ourselves in. It's that it consistently happens in the wake of a win, which makes it look like Bris is content to urinate on everyone's chips and bring the mood down. All people want to do is enjoy the good feeling 3 points bring, and be excited about promotion. Let us worry about next season after (hopefully) basking in the glow of a first promotion in 17 years. I'm going to enjoy it and praise the good job Warne has done this season. Record points tally, record away wins in a season... it is about time the club and fans had some good times.
  5. Great to see Clowes supporting too - hoping the one club approach does wonders for developing the women's too. Fantastic achievement, up the Ewes!
  6. If we're promoted at PP, it'll happen. I hope it doesn't happen at Cambridge though, should we have results go our way there. They said the same thing just before the Brighton play-off semi. I may or may not have been on the pitch that day.
  7. I know this isn't *precisely* what colourblind people see, and it varies depending on the type of colourblindness, but these pictures do provide a window into what some people so afflicted see. Must be horrendous when you can barely pick out the difference between the Derby and Blackpool players at a glance.
  8. https://www.efl.com/news/2024/april/19/efl-statement--fa-cup-replays/ EFL going all out. Fair play.
  9. Fantastic pics. Out of curiosity, where does one procure ones film? I have a Pentax ME Super from the early 80s that I'd love to revive.
  10. You could level that at a number of the first team regulars - or Max Bird who definitely won't be playing for us next season.
  11. I'm sure Max will want a promotion on his CV to cap his time at his boyhood club. To suggest he won't be committed to this shows no respect to him. I just wouldn't risk him for this game, save for some minutes at the end.
  12. It was purely for emotional reasons - yes, on logic, why bother? It was a momentary weakness. Won't happen again.
  13. One of my favourite goals, in one of my favourite games. I was right behind it too. What could have been...
  14. Would love for him to get a 5min cameo against Carlisle. Such a shame to see a good talent hampered by injuries.
  15. Congrats to all the Pompy fans in peace. Definitely can't say it wasn't deserved. Us next.
  16. Slight deviation from topic since it's about Collins, but nice to see the locals are still bitter about 'snowgate' 🤣
  17. Look weird without the errea badges, like knockoffs
  18. They don't check you going in, I did similar when I went on a one off for hospitality. I just said I'd prepaid and the hivis man accepted it. They go around, probably during the game, checking reg plates as they'd normally do any other day, as they have done when I've been at the arena for the gym.
  19. Too many coincidences here. PUMA spelt out in newspaper headlines? A day after the announcement of the Umbro deal finishing? If this means we're getting something inspired by this kit, I'm gonna explode.
  20. Not surprised Warne didn't get a nod, when a good proportion of Derby fans don't think he's up to much...
  21. I went to see Catfish and the Bottlemen a few years back, not long after it had opened. The layout limits it, and the sound quality was toss. Maybe it's improved since, but all it seems to be used for is spoken stuff (comedy, panto, etc)
