  1. But wasn't the big thing about our takeover that we had to own the ground?

     

    I know I am biased, but it still seems that bar Luton and Lees we have been treated far more harshly.

     

    Not to mention that apart from Blackpool, all Champ clubs can go to hell as far as I am concerned.

    So then - what now ? Apart from sending Stuart Webb into the toilets with the relevant parties 

     

    Kirchner funds us until stuff is sorted.

    Sell what little assets we have (players) not that we will get much for them as buying clubs know we're B*ggered.

    Failing that it's liquidation

    Why was he even 5th? am I missing something?

    Had a great season when he helped s finish 5th, also think he did well in WC qualifying, although the 0-0 in Poland that got us to Italy when he was immense was after the cut off point for votes.

    He was very good that season to be fair to the bloke.

  4. A few related to my Dad, though the first one I was there. 

    One

    Used to live at top end of Woodlands road in Allestree, at me at 9 and my sis at 3 became friends with a family at the end of the road Barbra and Bernard Deeming, lovely people and Bernard was wheelchair bound and had Parkinson's. Well their son David (name often used for AC Hunters ringers,) became my 'mate' who leant me copies of Shoot and stuff and was Simon Coughs besty.

    One time a party at their house and Simon and Nigel came, out so did Brian, my little sis spent most of the night sat on Brians knee whilst he admired, in his words, her 'Shirley Bassey' boots.

    Then it got to about 7/8pm and Nigel and Simon, Nige 10 years older thane me so 19 then, said "were off out dad" Brian looked at them and just said "These good people have invited you into their homes so you will stay here and enjoy yourself.

    Two

    after the league win their was a celebration at Pennine/Midland Hotel? because they were scared of an attack because it was Student Rage Week (Not Quite AL Q back then was it?) the Police sent  couple of DC's to oversee, old man was one of them, there job was just basically to sit in a hotel room and wait if any trouble. Brian met them asked "do you like wine boys?"  and instructed them to take s much as they wanted during the night, and end of evening Brian asked one of them (Think the Sgt.) to drive his Jag? back to the BBG.

    Three

    My fave this, there was a Derbyshire Solicitor who was  great mate of Cloughie who was asked to drive the European Cup home/or for some reason the EC was in Cloughies car boot. This was after a good drink. He predictably crashed and had to go to  house, borrow a phone and ring Brian to tell him he'd crashed his car with the European Cup in it, Brian didn't care just said "stay there, I'll come pick you up before the Police get you" He cared more about his mate than the EC. Just a top bloke.

    Many more stories of him watching Derbyshire Sunday League footy, buying shopping for older people in Quarndon.

    Bloke was an absolute legend
