He is not having a dig at us, he is having a dig at Mad Mel.....and rightly so, he needs digging out.

Based on what? 
Normal revenue, taking into account for league disparity, has us 18th best in the county.
All time top division record puts us 16th.
All-time average league position puts us 13th best.
PL era only ('92 onwards) average position puts us 21st.
It's only when you look at specific decades when we drop to a mid-Championship position.
2010s - 27th
2000s - 24th
1990s - 19th
1980s - 29th
Earlier than that, and it's only the 60s and 50s where we drop to mid-table 2nd division side. In fact, those are the only 2 decades we drop outside of being top 20 in the country.

A mystery British interest you say..... ?

 

Lots of warehousing work available at Alloga

Main sites are near J28 M1 but the new site is in Derby, near the tip on the Panattoni retail park (Derby 370)
They need pickers and FLT drivers.

I think PL1 and PL2 is more sensible. Too many good sized clubs for one division so having a wealthy 2nd tier would help there.
League 1 and League 2 should stay with the EFL
 
Or just sort out the parachute payments, then we're all good.
 

"Fans have been back in grounds for nearly a year now" 
You used this "fact", and the club's subscription service, to suggest that the club's loss of revenue was short-lived when, in reality, its income has been significantly diminished since the first lockdown and hasn't recovered to its pre-pandemic level even now. 
We'll see in due course how other clubs have been affected, but I'll be amazed if most of the non-parachute payment clubs aren't carrying far more debt than they were 18 months ago, be that "soft" debt or the more problematic kind.

That’s a shame, I was going to get the drinks in.
Your turn next time mate.

1-1  Baldock (no, really)

again, i question the truth of anything those administrators say. if there were so many credible parties interested why an earth would you post an email address to twitter.
 
massively worrying

Made it! Loved it !

Yes you are - no doubt she's too exhausted from all that housework to remember that also! Joking by the way before I get attacked. Hope you both get there in time

It seems everybody in this forum agrees that the is vile and embarrassing behaviour at Bramall Lane by some Derby fans was unacceptable.
Of course a few won't really, but I highly doubt they will have the guts to say so in here.
A lot of people are growing to dislike us as much as Leeds were disliked in the 70s (and ever since tbf) and other clubs at various times like Millwall, Man U and Hope Valley Under-15s. Although the last one may be more personal tbf.
What Morris has been doing it entirely out of our control, but what those around us do, isn't.
For example, if a particular abusive chants start up, the majority could respond with something counter.
I don't mean Kumbaya, although that may very well work, or Imagine by John Lennon, although that too may work, but something like 'your're knobs and know you are etc'
Not that, clearly, that's lame, but something agreed on.
Plus, if fans en masse started filming the morons on their phones and the word had been put out that they'd be reporting to the club and/or Police it may help.
Obviously, I don't want anybody getting hurt, so be careful. And I'm happy to hold somebody's coat at the back if required.
Back in Cornwall that is.
We have to make these people thoroughly unwelcome because whereas they may not care when they're high or drunk, they will be after and/or before.
What they are doing is often illegal, and in all seriousness, it is up to us to do something about it if it's to change.
I almost want to adopt Millwalls chant of 'Nobody likes us and we don't care' but I'd be lying, I do care and I'd like Derby to be admired and respected rather than despised and mocked.

Hope you reach the station in thyme.  

Why would you prefer that when all the evidence points to it not working?

Got my 2 this morning.
Couldn't get the 2 I wanted though because it wouldn't let me choose 2 in a row of 3.
What nonsense is this?

My question would be is that on "drugs" or do you mean "legal drugs" or do you mean "illegal drugs"? Caffeine is a huge stimulant. Should that be banned? Alcohol is much the most toxic drug people can use and abuse, with the possible exception of heroin depending on how you measure toxicity. Cannabis is only super-strength "skunk" nowadays because of prohibition. When America had prohibition for alcohol, were there exquisite gins and lovely craft beers or were people forced to drink super-strength moonshine? Laced with other toxins as there was no regulation?
People should be allowed the choice if whether they drink coffee, smoke a cigarette, do a line of coke, have a double vodka and tonic or eat a hash cake. It's bonkers and irrational that two of those things are illegal when you compare them with the others. Personal choice, personal responsibility.
Of course I get that people have individual bad stories surrounding illegal drugs, but I would argue this is a lot to do with the organized criminality that surrounds them and the way this destroys lives. It would be a million times better for people to partake in a safe environment, knowing exactly what they are taking.

If you pick and choose when you’re open minded then you’re not really open minded. 

It'll be an auto thing from the past.  They always try to ensure they are not lumbered with a mass of single seats spread all over, as single seats are generally harder to sell (As most folk like to sit with at least one other friend/relative).
 
I agree with @Bald Eagle's Barmy Army though.  Under the current circumstances, they need to cancel this auto response (assuming it is auto?), and sell whatever they can!  They can worry about single seats as and when we near a sell-out!  

I am both older and a  woman and rate Steve McClaren,  gave us great football, genuine guy.
Thought he was harshly treated by the Derby fans over the Newcastle saga.
Got best win percentage of any recent manager and his team played the most attractive football I have seen since the 70s. 

His last stint was when he took over from Nigel Pearson when we were the lowest scorers in England and Scotland. 
The Reading loss was the season after we set several club records. Yeah the season ended badly but still was in the Play Offs until the last day. 
I'm assuming you're saying Nigel was a terrible manager then if he had a great team and couldn't get us to win more than we lost in a season? 
He didn't leave to go to Newcastle. He said he was going to stay and then was sacked. Then went to Newcastle. 
Unlike some other managers who did jump ship at the first chance. Or a manager that knew he was jumping ship at the first chance but didn't have the decency to tell us before Pre Season and all our players were flying to America.
