First year I've got three saeson tickets in my immediate family. We didn't go to Bouremouth as my wife was self isolating gtom COVID. I tested myself and all the kids and we're all negative but I did not want to risk passing it onto the more mature around me.
COVID is a reason why people are not going.
We'll be at the next home game, got Bristol away tickets and hopefully getting Cardiff.

Well ran? Leicester have lost £90m in the last two years. How can they be well ran?
When the owner decides he no longer wants to keep paying that to keep the club running (because it will happen at some point), as ours now has, are they still well ran?

What happens if no one wants to buy the club like the situation we found ourselves in? How long do they keep servicing the debt for?
The reality is that most football teams are not well ran. I did not think we were all that bad until Morris decided to pull the plug - I just thought we were going through a reset period within FFP and Morris would fund another go at promotion in a couple of years when we have FFP leeway. I was convinced second time round with a local chairman and supporter, and lessons learned, we would do it. We'd have a couple of years watching experienced players but also the new young core coming though - Knight, Buchanan, Bird, Stretton, Ebosele etc...
What do we expect the next owner to do? If they have a crack at promotion and lose a load of money what will they do?
If they run us sustainably we simply won't get out of the division.

I don’t see why Rooney should be concerned about managing in league 1 as league 1/2 is where he should have started his managerial career…

You do know how good our defensive stats are don't you? You're sounding very odd. If we could score goals we'd be cruising!

Andre Wisdom

Outside the Premier League, yes. Yes it does. Those days are here, right now and we're living in that world. 
Not sure which planet you are living on though ?

It has to be Shinnie. Great to see him get the goal second half and go bananas but if we had another option he would have been pulled off at half time because he was dreadful first half. He needs to improve.

Looks like I'm back in the game for this one having missed the deadline. Expensive trip though, my 11 and 9 year old want to come!
Over 3000 away support should make some great memories. I would love a Curtis Davies late winner from a set piece.

Derby official website £30 cash only 

I don't think there is any doubt that Morris and Pearce used the amortisation policy to give us an advantage at during 'a period of time.'
From what I understand we were punished accordingly:
'Alongside a financial penalty of £100,000, the Club received a reprimand as to its future conduct and was ordered to submit revised and restated accounts for the years ended 30 June 2016, 30 June 2017, and 30 June 2018 to the EFL by Wednesday 18 August 2021.'
So until we find out exactly what those accounts tell us we do not know what rules we have broken.
If it turns out we have broken the rules and are given an additional points fine you can see why other teams in the EFL would be annoyed we were not punished last year.
In reality we really should have been punished the year before though if we are found to have broken the rules.
To me the process has been so badly managed by the EFL that there should be some kind of explanation to all of the EFL members why it has taken so long and why it has still not been resolved since they got the accounts in August.

Sorry for your loss. Having lost both of my parents relatively recently prior to covid and my father in law to covid I would be absolutely livid if I was you.
I genuinely hope and believe you will be seen right by the club though.
Keep us posted on how you get on. I'll show my support for you however I can if needed. I'm sure there are a few fellow Rams out there that will do the same.

Question is what type of owner do the fans want?
If we are run sustainably we will be mid table championship team when we recover from the current mess.
Or an owner that splashes the cash once every three years with losses but stays in FFP - we could be in this situation again.
An Owner that completly bankrolls the club and blows all the rules to get to the PL - we could be in this situation again.
I thought we had the perfect owner willing to spend to the FFP limit but fund teh club - how wrong I was.

What's changed with Mr Morris? We've been losing £39m over three years by design under him to sail as close to ffp as possible. That's over £1m a month. Why pull the the plug now?

Not sure if this is in the right place but I wanted to make Derby fans aware of the recommended guidelines - including wearing a mask. The TVs in the stadium advise wearing a mask but the vast majority of people do not. I can see us not being allowed in soon and mask wearing may help prevent that, but more importantly may prevent us losing more family/friends to the virus.

I've generally worn a mask on the concourse, in toilets etc, and will continue to do so, because it's really no big thing and, unless there's a valid medical or psychological reason, people who refuse to wear one where it's requested or advised are big fannies and unforgivably selfish. 

I think we are in a relegation battle before any penalty.  We will have to find an additional, in effect, worthless wins to get back to where we are now.  Every win is essential to us, we can't score goals consistently enough to consider that we can cope with this points penalty

Minor point but surely it’s hearsay until we see an official statement from the club and/or EFL not before see the accounts ad try to work it out for ourselves.

Great point tonight. Seemed like tremendous support from our away support watching on TV. Maybe that's what got us over the line.

Masks are not compulsory but are advised to help stop the virus spreading.
