This lad is the rock around which Derby County can build a team for the next decade. We just need to keep hold of him.

Where does the information come from that away members cannot buy online at 10am Saturday? It does not indicate that on the Shrewsbury away tickets on the club website.

On the club website under Latest News there is page headed "Away Tickets Now On Sale" for the Shrewsbury game. Just below the On Sale Dates is a section headed "Off Sale Dates" which states tickets will go off sale ONLINE at 1pm today.

Pretty poor really as if they were on sale online in the morning people could order them and pick them up before/after the game tomorrow.

Also the 48 hour windows really need reducing to 24 hours, which is ample time for folks to sort out their tickets and gives more time for the tickets to be posted out.

Best pre-match beer from the weekend, Brew By Numbers 19/Gose Solero 6.5%.

Probably the most expensive pint that my lad has ever bought me ?

Juventus "1973 - Mai dimenticato, mai perdonato!"

How did Forest get on today, asking for a friend?

Charlton 3 Derby 2. Rams twice come from behind to level but ultimately succumb to an 85th minute scrambled Charlton winner as the lack of pre-season shows in tired legs and reactions. Long disappointed journey home from SW London.

Got the last one I needed (for my lad) this morning, really looking forward to it. London aways are always a good day out. Now just need to do some pub/beer research.

Derby 0-1 Oxford. Lots of possession for the Rams but create few real chances, give away a silly goal just after half-time trying to play out from the back and losing possession, then don't have enough to be able to force an equaliser. 

No longer playing, and sadly no longer with us, however if we could sign Rob Hindmarch (RIP) for next season or a player of his ilk League One would hold no fear for us........

10 days in Prague, 63 new beers, 25 new breweries plus numerous past beers and past breweries, 1 beer festival (Karlstejn) and 1 impromptu brewery tour (Cobolis). Time to come home for a rest ???????????? Standout beer of the trip Rodinny Pivovar Vik Wildberry Sorbet 13⁰ 4.9%. Award winning (3rd place at XXXI. International Beer Festival Golden Beer Seal 2021) Berliner Weiss style beer, full of strawberry, blackberry and raspberry flavours which come together nicely to balance the acidic sourness. Probably the easiest drinking sour that I've ever come across.

Play home games on the Racecourse. Everyone brings a deckchair to get around the all seater rules and a packed lunch to make up for the lack of catering facilities. Easily 30,000 capacity, job done ?

So conflicting comments... Please could someone confirm...

Were Hector, Gemmill, Boulton and Webster there?

The announcer at half time announced Colin and Ron, but no King or Archie. I really hope Kevin was there.

Essentially £150 to rip off - about 5 hours for 1 man, I guess charged for the day. £150 to clean up and dispose of the waste - a couple of men spent about an hour scooping it up.

£300 for two men who spent about 12 hours preparing, applying the render, cleaning up.

Labour all round seems acceptable.

The issue appears to be the materials cost, almost doubling from £600 when quoted to £1000.

I used to work for a rendering sub-contractor in a previous life and £1,000 for materials seems steep, although it depends on how big an area is involved.

What type of render is it and did you have a non-standard colour? one of the fancy German brands, Sto or Weber? or possibly a UK equivalent (which are considerably cheaper). Ask the Builder to show you the original invoice for the materials, if he declines then he’s probably overcharging you.

I wonder how many of their fans will be waiting to welcome the team back at Forest’s training ground tonight? Wilford Lane was eerily quiet when I just went past on the bus home from town ?

Off to Ferocious Dog’s AGM at Rock City today, 8 bands on from 2 till 10pm.

Popped in to Rough Trade, Nottingham, this morning and managed to get Pete Townshend’s Deep End Face the Face and Levellers Zeitgeist picture disc both of which were the last copies in the shop. @Kinder Plenty of Sunshine on Leith still in stock.

Rams 0 Fulham 1 (goal the result of an error whilst playing out from the back)

Off to see Half Man Half Biscuit at Rock City this evening. It’s been a while since I’ve seen Birkenhead’s finest.

A really good first half performance, however when mental and physical resilience from the players was required in the second half it just wasn't there.

I’ve been dreaming of the time when we could sign a free agent ?

Free agents? free agents? Luxury, when I was a lad all the club could afford was players who would "pay to to play" for Derby..........

9k Boro fans at Old Trafford singing about having a party when Derby County dies… I shouldn’t be shocked I suppose 

Most of that 9k will be "Commodore fans", once, twice, three times a season.........

The wrong end of the A52, 13 miles.

Enjoying a couple of pre-match beers in one of my locals near the ground and the atmosphere is pretty subdued. Despite the bravado of some of the one eyes on LTLF deep down their fans are probably as nervous as we are about this game.
