    That bold bit is where the problem lies, imo.

    I envisage the majority of the attendance (22k+) will scuttle off home having not had the chance to thank/congratulate/celebrate with the people that matter... players and staff.
    Shame really... but utterly not unexpected.

    By the sound of it, Alf's going to give it both BARRELS if we get promoted.

    I don't watch a huge number of TV ads - normally record stuff and then fast-forward through the ads...
    Radio ads however are a whole level of annoyance higher:
    "Do you have more than £8000 in unsecured debts? get an IVA (Individual Voluntary Arrangement) with us - warning this MAY affect your credit rating" - no, it'll screw your credit rating forever....
    "Sell your unwanted Gold, Silver, platinum & palladium - post it to us and we'll pay you next day" - I'm sure you will, but the chances of getting a fair price are pretty damn remote....and how many folk will ask them to return their items?
    "If you've been the victim of a scammer, the system has failed you" - no it hasn't, you've been a knobby and sent money to someone dodgy despite the system warning you to check if they're kosher.....
    "If you owned a diesel car between...." - ARGHHHHHHHHHHH

    I'm in favour of pitch invasions, ever since that wonderful day as a 10 year old boy at the Baseball ground, high fiving Ron Willems and having a cuddle with Chris Powell!
    I talk about that day every single time I see a pitch invasion elsewhere. I think about it now and then for no reason. 
    It's a top 5 moment in my entire life and I like to think there are youngsters at Pride park who in 28 years time be looking back on the Carlise match in the same way I do that Crystal Palace match.
    It doens't have to be ruined by thuggery, it can be magical

    They dont give a 💩about fans who actually go to games and want to support club with a season ticket.  If you work normal full-time working week and travel couple of hours to games any mon- fri evening matches are challenging not just trying to switch hours but extra traffic, higher train fares etc. Same for those on shift patterns sorted in advance of sky cut-off to rearrange matches when they cant change shifts later.
    Still undecided re renewing next year entirely due to this deal nothing else. Its a lot of money if you just cant go to a lot of matches

    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.

    Hi everyone,
    My Dad, a life-long Derby fan and season ticket holder, recently suffered from a stroke which left the right side of his body paralysed. Up until it struck, he had made the 200-mile round trip from Aylsebury to Derby 
    His progress has been remarkable since - he can how walk short distances and has gained a lot of mobility. 
    I would love to take him to the final game of the season with Carlisle to see out the journey. I would be devastated for him if, having supported us through thick and thin all his life right up until the stroke, he missed out on us winning promotion. This is where some of you could potentially help.
    Our season tickets are about as difficult as it could be for someone with mobility issues: East Stand Upper, on the half-way line, half-way between stair wells. I'm just not sure I can safely get him up there with a capacity crowd.
    I am only asking having tried to arrange disabled viewing with the club, who cannot help as the game is sold out. Does anyone sit in a lower block, close to a stairwell, who would be willing to swap seats just for this game? I'm only asking as this is a final plea!

    Id imagine they’ll soon announce both the last Derby and Bolton games both on sky as a race for automatic promotion? They can’t show a premier league match as the afternoon 12:30 match is normally on BT/TNT whatever it’s called nowadays. I’m assuming anyway??

    Yes, Leeds were playing well enough, but it was a completely different style of football. A style that Clough didn't like and wouldn't have been proud to play as a manager, even if it had continued to bring success. I think there's definitely some truth in Clough wanting to destroy Revie's team, as he could be incredibly petty at times. It only makes me like him more as it's exactly what I'd do to Leeds if given the opportunity. It was a bad match up in general though. The Leeds players were also a petty and small minded bunch who worshipped the ground Revie walked on. They would've undermined any new manager, even if that manager wasn't as abrasive and confrontational as Clough. Also, it's usually harder to win things when you are no longer paying your opponents to lose.

    I agree. I think Smith was hugely influential throughout the game. Adams breaks play up, the enforcer, Tommo never lets anyone breath but it was Smith as the fulcrum. Quick to pass, not too many touches, sees the ball that unglues things and sets us going forward. I can’t comment on away games but every time I see him at PP he does it right and makes us look more polished as a unit.

    So you think we are more of a technical side under Warne than a physical one?
    At League One level we simply have better players than the rest. Yet largely we still don’t dominate possession and play through teams.
    That’s not a bad thing. Warne will get us promoted this season, no doubts, and he deserves credit for that.
    But claiming his style of play is more technical than physical is just laughable.

    The thing that Warne has really achieved is a colossal improvement in both our attacking and defending set pieces. 
    Obviously the stats show the effectiveness off the attacking corners and free kicks - I believe we've scored more than any other of the 92 clubs.
    However, I reckon the improvement in the defending from corners has been even better. For so many years, I've sat in the West Stand watching us defend set pieces with my hands over my eyes in terror. They had the same effect as Doctor Who had on six year old me. Now I'm relaxed enough to carry on a conversation. I expect us not to concede. 
    I actually think that improvement is a significant reason why automatic promotion is in our hands with two games to go.

    One half of Joe and Twiggy that used to be on radio Trent, constantly sucking up to the red dogs and putting us down. Then he went to radio Derby and all of a sudden it’s I’m a Derbyshire lad through and through, does my head in, and he supports Everton.😂
