I think that pitch invasions should only be done at home, and only after the last game of the season.
It's interesting Cambridge has another home match on Tuesday - I've just read they are doing their Player of the Season on the pitch after tomorrow's game.
So that's another reason for us keeping off the pitch, tbf. We wouldn't want our award being spoiled in this way.

He didn’t 😂😂😂

Celebratory punting on the Cam anyone? I'll bring the pimms!

Bayer Leverkusen fans this week after winning the Bundesliga.
I sometimes think we've lost our spirit of football fun in this country.
I won't be on the pitch at Cambridge or Pride Park whatever the results, due to old age, but I will applaud those who want to celebrate.
As for injured footballers, they know the score and the tradition, run like hell for the tunnel!
 

Remember cup vouchers in your season ticket.  They were fun and ensured plenty in for an early doors cup match.  

Excellent statement by Tranmere.

Meanwhile, the EFL tried to impose a Premier-league-mandated points deduction on Leicester. Leicester said, hold on, there's nothing in your rules that allows you to do this, and took out an injunction to stop it. The EFL said, "oh yes of course you're right" and withdrew the deduction.
My conclusion is that the EFL doesn't know its own rules and if we'd had the wherewithal to be able to contest their outrageous behaviour against us, we'd have won as well.

I sincerely hope Warne and the players are aware of this and remember Northampton, where the pitch was very bobbly for a well covered surface. We need to adopt better tactics than we did there.

Hi Duracell, we have a pair of ideal seats for you, we picked the seats because we're close to friends on the opposite side of the aisle.
We're stair 41, row kk, seats 398,399 immediately next to the aisle in the lower east in line with the edge of the centre circle on the south stand side of the half way line. Row kk is about 4 rows down from the entry stairs and the seats are on the right as you walk down to them.
We could meet you at the bottom of stair 41 in the concourse or you can just let me know your seat numbers.

I had a chat with Ebouuuuuuuuu too, who said “I am enjoying it immensely”. 😲

Nice to see young Kaitlyn Roocroft get the International Supporter's award, one I was fortunate enough to get in the 15/16 season.

I had a chat with Sibs. He hasn't given up hope of playing further forward but says he's enjoying wingback and wants to play in the Championship for us. 
I'd say of all the players I spoke to, he's the one who wants to win promotion because he's a Ram through and through. 🐏 
David Clowes possibly an even bigger Ram, though. Spoke with real passion about competing at the top of the Championship. He has real ambition for the Club (as you've heard from elsewhere.)

Straight from the horses/footballers mouths:
Wildsmith was asked about rumours of him leaving Derby. He has not yet been offered a new contract. 
Ebou and his missus are absolutely loving everything about Derby. He said there are several things that need to fall into place about signing but seemed positive. He is the loveliest down to earth person. Didn’t stop smiling all night. If we need to forcefully restrain him to keep him here count me in! He doesn’t mind the Ebou chant sounding like booing. 
Dwight Gayle is recovering well and hoping to be back next week.
Max Bird still very much focused on the next too games, despite moving on. 
Nathaniel Mendez-Laing smells very nice
 
 
 
 

Just posted in another thread, but Eíran Cashin won the Supporters' Clubs Player of the Season award. 
Lovely to chat with you and your dad, @B4’s Sister.

So who wants the gossip…? 

Instead of belittling people who aren't fans of Warne or confident in him in the long term, why not try debating the points they make.
 

I think those 2 results will have knocked the stuffing out of Bolton's run. I think they will drop points again on Saturday.
Peterborough on the other hand... They will believe they have a chance.

Congratulations to Portsmouth who are promoted as Champions after tonight's results, which were:
Portsmouth 3 Barnsley 2 Bolton 2 Shrewsbury 2 Peterborough 4 Fleetwood 1 A fabulous draw by Shrewsbury means we only need 4 points from the final 2 games to guarantee promotion. Goal difference not quite enough to rely on just the 3 points. But if both Bolton and Peterborough drop points on Saturday, victory at Cambridge would see us up.

The other Saturday fixtures are:
Bolton vs Port Vale Bristol Rovers vs Peterborough

Has Evatt thrown in the towel?

You need to look at the League One table again, us and Pompey are the lowest goal scorers in the top 6 teams and when you consider Pompey have had a whopping 13 penalties including tonight's which having watched was another dodgy decision.

Bolton play Port Vale this Saturday. Its a must win for Vale or they're down. Hopefully the biggest club in Staffordshire will get the result they need to stay up. The chance of playing their noisy neighbours from across the dystopian wasteland next season will motivate them even more to stay up!
 
It would be rather nice to wave to the Stokies as we pass them coming down from an Utcheter perspective as well.
 
Bloody hell, could the stars align that much to see the gumps down, Leicester fck up and Derby slip effortlessly into the Championship?
 

You do realise we'll be going into the last game in 2nd by 2 goals and s******* our pants that either Bolton or Peterborough will beat one 3-0 either way as we grimly hang on to a 1-0.  It's the Derby way.
