    If the tickets are actually unreserved in a sold out away end, this is a nightmare!

    Tickets available for the last two home games.
    Blackpool 275.
    Leyton Orient 2,754.
    A few tickets keep being added for the Blackpool game but these must be about the last few now.
    Carlisle sold out.

    I've already renewed my ST because no matter what division they may play in, and yes, I moan and have a go at the players from time-to-time, I've always supported my club - Derby County F.C.
    Yes, I can afford to have a ST and I understand others cannot pay out such a sum, especially with other commitments and cost of living issues, however, it doesn't matter if you only go and watch 5 or 10 matches a season, you are still a Rams fan as far as I'm concerned and whatever support you give the club, it matters.
    Championship or League 1 again, always support your club.

    I said his win ratio was better, that Robins wasn't actually a "young manager" and pointed out that his notable success had come with a club enjoying much larger gate revenues and an uninterrupted 7 year stint in which to continually develop and evolve his team where transfers out were used positively in that process. Warne, by comparison, usually lost some of his best players after promotion, often on Bosmans, and the team was never strengthened for the task ahead.
    Put it this way, 10 years into his managerial career, Mark Robins would never have appeared on a list of fans' picks for DCFC manager.

    Can you imagine the absolute meltdown amongst the fanbase if Morris had basically come out and said he didn't like/trust/whatever Kirchner and wasn't going to deal with him?  The same with the EFL and Quantuma really.  Kirchner passed the basic tests he was required to pass, and had all the hallmarks of a reputable businessman - it wasn't like he was that random Sheikh who may or may not be related to the Man City lot, or that Spanish guy who seemingly had very little beyond an Instagram profile (which was probably faked anyway), or any of the other chancers who cropped up over the years.  He owned a legit business, had major financing from reputable companies and was actively involved in sports sponsorships.
    If any of MM/the EFL/Quantuma etc had come out and said they weren't dealing with Kirchner, then Kirchner would have been all over Radio Derby/social media etc saying he was trying to save Derby and whoever was stopping him doing it.  It would have been chaos.

    I didn't necessarily say you should ignore it. I'm just saying the similarities if we were to get promoted this season, are remarkable and perhaps of more value rather than how Warne did at Rotherham considering the differences in club size and the likely differences in ambition and backing between Coventry/Derby and Rotherham. Maybe Warne will keep us in the Championship and quite successfully🤷‍♂️ It wouldn't be the first time a manager has failed at one club but then gone on to be successful at another (and vice versa). I also highly doubt than anyone (you included) doing a comparison with Robbins really needed reminding of his track record. Otherwise, why make the comparison in the first place.

    I really enjoyed The Dropout, saw it on Disney a few months back.
    I also enjoyed WeCrashed on Apple and Dopesick on Disney. Both are similar stories of delusional/dangerous company leaders.
    You can get 3 months of Apple TV+ by signing up to Currys Perks email and you can get 3 months of Disney with Tesco clubcard points.

    I think that's what Jimtastic means. If he doesn't play again this season, and he's only played 6 times for us, he reckons that will be £40k per appearance.
    This assumes his wages for the 5? months we have signed him for will be £240k in total. I've no idea about any of that, though.

    Robbins took over at Coventry in March 2017.
    It took him 2 seasons to get them promoted out of league one and in his first year in the Championship Coventry finished 16th (12th the following season).
    If you insist on doing a comparison then it's probably better to see how we do next season (assuming we get promoted this year) as the managers trajectories with their current clubs will be a bit more comparable: Similar sized clubs, both clubs recovering from financial difficulties, both clubs promoted from league one after two seasons (hopefully).

    Wow. Better quality football seen in a game between two highly ranked international teams than in a game between two league one teams. A truly startling revelation.

    Worrying about potential suspensions for players next season in a league we’re yet to be in is fairly low down my agenda in truth Old Ben.
    If there are no imminent suspensions (other than Bradley) THIS season I’ll take it as a win given the current injury crisis.

    Have we now got to the stage where we’re worried about potential, hypothetical suspensions for the accumulation of yellow cards next season, which may coincide with important fixtures against unknown teams in a division we may not even be in?

    If anyone has responsibility there from outside, it's France.
    On your wider point, fixing other countries' problems hasn't gone too well for us in the recent past, so I'm not convinced there's a solution that could be imposed from the outside, but others may have a better idea of such possibilities.
