Hoppo

Nord airways flight set to depart. 

Ive gone for Waghorns at Peterborough, lovely team goal and great finish.

A bit like Rooney when he played for us!!

Derby-born, Hampshire-raised Pompey fan here, still feeling a bit groggy after our promotion celebrations last night but hoping the Rams will be joining us in the Championship next season.
We came to Derby quite regularly to see my family when I was young and were fortunate to go to the Baseball Ground many times in the late 1960s and 1970s in the Clough and Mackay years.
I was on the Popside in 1975 against Carlisle when the second title was celebrated, there when Roger Davies got sent off against Juventus in the European Cup semi-final, at the 4-4 drew with Man United on Boxing Day 1970.
But the most vivid memories are of the home wins over Liverpool and, particularly the Easter Saturday 2-0 win over Leeds in that 1971-72 season. Men with Pack’Em In boards urging people to move forward to let more into the ground, a guy who walked around the ground with a bell before the match to gee up the crowd and another with dozens of rosettes inside his coat doing the same. “Programmes, get your programmes”, Hot Love blasting out over the PA system at the end of games, incessant shouts of “Derby, Derby” urging the team on. 

Against Leeds Alan Durban came over to our section of the paddock beneath the main stand to take a throw in, grinning all over his face with a two goal lead and not long to go. Everyone around us screamed at him to take the smile off his face and concentrate; the game wasn’t won yet.
Hector, Hinton, O’Hare, the magnificent McFarland and Todd (jumpers for goalposts). My first game was a 4-0 win over QPR in Feb 1968, seen from the seats in the upper Normanton End, my second a 3-2 victory over Middlesbrough on Boxing Day 1968. I stood on a milk crate at the front of the middle tier of the Osmaston End.
One traumatic memory is the sight of Bob Wilson standing there in just his jock strap after ripping his shorts playing for Arsenal at the Baseball Ground. After that Easter Saturday victory over Leeds in 1972 I seem to remember watching Derby lose at home to Newcastle on the Easter Monday and thinking they had thrown it away.
But then came that win over Liverpool and Leeds tripping up. My Dad, who grew up reciting the names of the 1946 Cup winning team, had new heroes. And so did we, until living our lives in another part of the country meant going much more regularly to Fratton Park (or The Dell in my brother’s case, sadly).
But we still look out for Derby. We took my Dad to the Charlton game at Pride Park last season and I’ve been to see Pompey this season and before.
Wishing you every success and the hope that you all will have similar fond memories of Pride Park.
 
 

2nd
Well done Pompey champions
ill take 2nd
one win now Rams let’s let the travelling army celebrate it on Saturday eh?! 
then back to Derby for a mega celebration in town Saturday night 🍻⚽️🐏🍻🎶👏

4 points needed now.
Barring a significant turnaround in goal difference, just 3.

You’re going to get pelters for this, ignore the haters.
Be yourself, never change.
You are carrying this team to promotion, same again Saturday please.
If I could vote you for the Jackie Stamps trophy, I would. 🐏

Honest question. Is Bradley crap or is he actually world class? I have no idea.

This may be premature, and feel free to blame it all on me if things go wrong but...
I'm cracking open a beer.

Id have been in a heap on the halfway line gasping for breath! 😂

Looked. Nobody there 

Why am I seeing ppl give CBT a load of sh*t on X etc. after his last few performances. No one here for us has played well. Get behind the lad instead of destroying him.

Live footage from their stand behind the goal.

Lovely run and cross from Cash

Good thing there's a text explanation for this one Wolfie!😂

I hope they're blowing out their arse after 30 mins to be honest.  

Chris Martin to do us a favour today? That'd be absolutely lovely.

Temperament, aggression, dependable ………….Costacurtis Nelson for me!

I would have come on last night but I'd had a few 'settlers' before the game and followed up with a couple of glasses of wine when I get in to decompress  - so was less capable of typing than usual.
Proper game of football last night - not sure whether the conditions were a leveller or just added to the spectacle - but suspect both sides were happy with the draw, whilst wondering what might have been.
I thought you were set up really well (credit to both Warne and the players for executing) - you looked better than any of the other top sides who we've hosted this season.  I genuinely hope we both make it up via the automatics.
Take care of yourselves, Rams.  Hopefully see you all next season in the league above.

It’s a sign that we’ll be playing Leicester next season! 

Bloomin good point that away from home. Would have taken that before kick off.

I’d take the Pompey win. Put as much space as possible between us and the playoffs. Just want to get out of this league.
