Look goals will come and now got two home games coming up and both beatable sides.

We’re at Cov next Saturday youth. 

Anyway, he’d be moving up market. 
Remind me, is it Derby County who have been English League Champions twice since Newcastle United have, or was it the other way round?

Better the devil you know. Sports Direct are a Derbyshire based company. He could buy us for a fraction of what he just banked for Toon. 

Three HGVs involved. Possible fatality(s).

With the whole world (well, the Championship, and Leeds) apparently against us, what we do need is a siege mentality. Get home supporters at grounds we visit in awe of our support. Don’t give them an excuse to hate us any more with vile, puerile chants. 

If I was there I would have said something. Wasn’t anyone telling them to shut up?

Getting insults from opposition fans if you are a professional footballer goes with the job description, but making reference to a players family is off bounds. However there are other songs which highlight misdemeanours of a player which I think are just part of the culture of terrace songs a good example here is Newcastle fans singing about Adam Johnson, is this wrong or should a proven felon not be reminded of his crimes ? 

 

I think the Millwall fans were way out of order singing about Phillpott, but the so were our fans singing ing about the death of Doughty.

The songs from the terrace make laugh but they also make me cringe, but without them the atmosphere would be very sterile

c. 33,500 (capacity) less away seats and netting/segregation?  Is 3,500 enough for that?

Or is the 33,500 already allowing for the netted/unused areas (as opposed to the total number of seats?

Anyone one how many fans it takes to fill the away end, since they moved into the corner?

Thinking again, I reckon you may be a tad high, and me a bigger tad too low.
I'm going for 29k available for home fans, and won't budge from that, until someone shows me a graph or a signed statement or summat!  ?

?

There have never been 33,500 seats available. It was reduced when away fans were moved to the corner. The gaps to the left and right of them are wider than need be IMO, but hey ho. 
it’s now less than 32,000 capacity, including just over 3,000 for away fans max.

edit. There has been c33,500 in the ground, twice, for England v Mexico and Ted McMinn’s testimonial. There was no segregation for those games to speak of. 

You don’t say? 
A new thread for this?

As uncle Mel seems to have wrapped bubble wrap around pride park that’s one asset we can’t really use at the moment so what can we use or get rid of to generate money?

close or sell off moor farm ?

shut down club shop go to online bit like ASOS?

 Sell off players  ?

Stop funding or close academy at the expense of losing category status 

no mascots 

increase price of match day food and programmes 

shut down backyard  - reduce staff ir transfer staff to the yard 

set up a partnership with the arena for match day parking 

Temporarily close of part of underused stand if we average 20-21,000 at the games = reduced need to hire stewards 

 

any other ideas ? 

Programmes? They’ve stopped selling them. I should know. I did it for 21 years. 

The whole situation is pathetic. So I presume we were better off when Stephen Pearce was on the board, but now with Forest and Boro board members there, we’re screwed. 
 

Sounds like a Mexican standoff to me.

9 points or more, quite likely sinks us. It would mean needing around 56 points, which perhaps controversially I think all things being even we are potentially capable of. The issue is it will be a big lead weight around our neck affecting moral and the ability to bring anyone in.

6 points would be tough and a big effort to overcome. 

3 points we can likely stomach and still survive especially if it means we are free to operate in the transfer window (might end up being better for us than an embargo all season).

Are you forgetting we’ve won two in twenty two? Draws won’t keep us up. Neither will the inability to score, you know, GOALS.

Milan now 2-1 up at HT 

someone explain why keepers who do this are not penalised for hand ball.

We lost as a result of Karmic forces. Birmingham City employ a soothsayer called Don Rivel, whose job is to detect negative energies that are directed at the club and fans. Like us at the Baseball Ground, St Andrews has long been cursed. Don had a spiral from the East and acted accordingly. Zen relayed to him the news that Derby County fans were describing Brummies as Yam Yams. Don, in turn passed this information on to the Blues players pre match. Furious at the regionally inaccurate description, the team came out all guns blazing and put the hapless Rams to sword, like lambs to the slaughter. 

Apart from the fact Yams Yams are Black Country, not Birmingham, I am shocked that any group of players would be ‘shocked’ that rival fans had cast aspersions.

Are we getting new cards or are we going to have to keep on printing tickets?

if we are getting cards, any idea when? (Probably been asked and ansewered somewhere...)

They haven’t said when they are posting cards out. Clearly it will be in good time before Stoke (h).

As regards printing tickets you can use your phone. They’re just not advertising it.

Yeah, it is frustrating that no tickets are on sale at all especially with the print at home situation. I'm not the most organised person so I have to try and actively plan anything I do and getting stuff sorted last minute really irks me.  For away games it is especially a problem as the planning becomes much more of a problem and for the Hull game it was an actual nightmare getting the tickets sorted. I think what I find more weird is that the club are just throwing money down the drain... logically the longer tickets are on sale and the better promoted the games are the more they'll manage to sell. 

In actual fact you can gain entry with your phone. My son did it v Forest. They’re just not encouraging it, probably due to people struggling or bringing an IPad instead of a phone. 

Am I right in thinking there has been no commemoration of the club’s one and only FA Cup win 75 years ago?
I was given this by a friend last week.

Hey up all, finally completed my video from my visit to Pride Park yesterday so nice to visit Derby again. After a long spell, despite the match probably not being that vintage it was still a very good atmosphere. Hope Derby can certainly turn there fortunes round and fingers crossed a takeover can happen sooner than later. Also 22,900 nah not convinced with that I think there was more than 25,000 at least. Enjoy the video below, hopefully see you soon at Pride Park or away.

 

 Definitely more than 25,000 there.

Still 8000 tickets available. Looks like we'll have a gate of 25,000 tomorrow

Not even that. The capacity is nearer 31,000 now, not 33,000. Unnecessarily wide separating sections. 
 

No way was that crowd 16,000. Boro brought 3,000 for a start.

He was superb again today..took the elbow to the face..patched up..carried on..must be a superb role model for the youngsters out on the pitch with him..his positioning is just class, he will have lost a fair bit of pace but it goes unnoticed..

I think he’s still pretty spritely. Even in his early thirties he was clocked as being the fastest player in the Prem. 

We can’t even afford to pay someone to count the crowd. ?

Get real. It was a great ball in. At pace. The scorer is 6’5” and is running forward to jump. Correctly placed and executed, there is nothing anyone could do about it. 

What about Jim Smith?
