    One of my favourite goals, in one of my favourite games. I was right behind it too.
    What could have been...

    There was a brief rumour about his interest when we were in admin, IIRC?

    It's a way down my list of priorities for going.
    I just said, I don't expect to be entertained. Mostly because, especially this season, there's always a team doing their damndest to stop that.
    Yes, sport is entertainment, but only really for a neutral. In my opinion.

    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.

    Great to see Clowes supporting too - hoping the one club approach does wonders for developing the women's too.
    Fantastic achievement, up the Ewes!

    I agree with everything you've put here, and absolutely, I hope to be entertained - and, I may be stating the obvious, but if given the choice, it ranks thus:
    Win and play well
    Win and play not so well
    Lose and play well
    What I take issue with is people's stupid expectations. We had the same under Mac when we were playing well AND winning. To pinch a phrase from Alpha a long time back, we weren't winning-y enough.
    I take issue with the ones that don't accept that we have those things tying a bit of a hand behind Warne's back.

    For me, watching sports such as cricket, golf and yes (for my sins), some football on SKY I class as entertainment. However, I go to watch Derby County because they are a passion in my life and give me a feeling of inclusion, no matter the level we happen to be playing at. Do I prefer for us to be playing exciting, attacking football - of course, who doesn't - but after a poor performance do I think to myself was I entertained? Never! Frustration and a certain level of annoyance definitely but those feelings fade as we get closer to the next match and we go again.

    And that's fine, by the way! I'm not saying it's not. It's just your own personal philosophy. For me its high up the list.
    So the bit in bold is essentially where I'm disagreeing with you and with others. You might not expect to be, but surely you hope to be?
    I've got plenty of sympathy for Warne re: all the reasons that we've played the way we have. Budget, injuries, quality of the players, the nature of the division, etc etc.
    But surely we have to eventually strive for better?
    I would imagine that if you asked Paul Warne himself he would even say that he would like us to be playing better football than this.
    He deserves to be given the opportunity to do that, and I hope the club back him to do so, but you can understand why some supporters don't have much faith that Warne can deliver better football than this based on a) his time with Rotherham and b) his time so far with us!!

    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.

    I believe the club have been drip releasing seats, especially the ones closest to the away support in the East stand.
    It'll also be that all the hospitality has sold out, I expect?
