The unbelievable support bit is having volunteers there to put them out in their own time and having enough fans there on matchdays to wave them!!

The 1884 group pulls out all the stops again, great display, well done.

Well said. Massive thanks to the 1884 Group and all the volunteers. You are a credit to yourselves and this mighty fine club of ours. Take a bow my friends. Tinpot club did u say Fattywaz? Your joke of a club will never match us on or off the pitch. 

Wow...what a display that was just before kick off...superb effort.

A big well done to all those that prepared the stadium for the game v Forest. I just hope those that carried armfuls of flags home remember to bring them back!!!!

Much worse than just direct debits, are direct debits that you can't set the date for.
What use is a direct debit coming out of my account on the 15th of each month, Derby City Council???????????

How is a hipster beard different from a normal beard just so I know!

Despite now having one of those daft hipster efforts, I've only been clean shaven twice in 12 years.  Once for Movember a few years ago, and once when I shaved before a girl I met on holiday came to stay as she didn't like stubble rash...

The last time I was clean shaven was 2008, and even that was only for a few weeks so my beard definitely predates the hipsters!

First takeaway from brand new bar and bottleshop Suds & Soda, on Friar Gate.
Opened (officially) last night and was packed.

 

This thread just goes to show how common it is to have dark times in your life, and how little it is in the public domain.
I struggled whilst at University, not really understanding who I was, questioning my value to those around me. That culminated on my 20th birthday when I left my friends at the time, went home and spent some time self-harming. Luckily I didn't do much damage, but for someone who was very happy and confident before going to University, was quite a shock to me, let alone friends and family.
For me, I felt like I needed to make a change and take control back of my life which involved moving to Warsaw to teach English and be somewhere that needed me to rely on myself. Not saying that's the best option for everyone, but it worked for me. 
Fast forward 12 years and my birthday at the end of May will see me 6 years married, a dog, mortgage, job I love, friends around me and having the confidence to stand up and perform a wedding ceremony for my friends myself. (I'm not a priest by the way!). That's all on top of a great year doing 1884 Group stuff and putting myself out there for ridicule.
It's funny how life works, and I wouldn't want anybody to think I was trying to compare a low point in my life to the struggles others face, some of which are very difficult to read, but I hope I can give a shred of comfort that life can get better if you give it a chance to do so.

I like the idea of getting the co-ordinates of the iPro Stadium. A bit more subtle.

I find that, in the same way that toast always lands butter side down, I will always open a pack of tablets at the end where all the paperwork is.

Ikea.

Ikea.

Having to listen to the boring details of someone else's job on a train from which there is no escape. Just keep your voice down ffs.
