    I know it's Nixon (I take everything he says with a pinch of salt)... but he put an article out about 15mins ago claiming we're picking him and a chance of no points deduction next season.

    Because we will take it this season? From the Sun article

    "But the deal may also see Derby docked a further 15 points THIS season that would guarantee relegation.

    The size of the offers to the creditors will be below the 25p in the pound demanded by the EFL. But to speed the takeover through it will mean a total of 36 points off their total.

    But the good news is that means Derby will start next season in League One without having to cope with a massive penalty."

    Don't lose sight of fact we are a football club

    I might add some other points later but firstly I'll take you back to 11th December 1982, Fulham away. We had a poor team but were on a high as Peter Taylor had recently return binging Archie Gemmill back, and having just signed Bobby Davison. I can't actually remember much about the game, we lost, Bobby made his debut from the bench. I went on a junior rams coach, a couple of things stick in my memory. We arrived early and wasn't allowed off the coach. Someone spotted a huge dog turn on the street, a game developed where we shouted at the passing Fulham fans as they passed to make them look up at us rather than down at the turn. There was a stream of oohs as the Fulham fans nearly stepped in the turn, until one did to a huge goal like celebration.

    On the way back it was the FA cup draw, everyone was shushed as the balls were drawn Derby came out of the hat first, a home draw. Then came Forest, the atmosphere on the coach became electric, Derby v Forest. Although the kids were excited at our age the gravity of the draw passed us by a bit. It wasn't until I saw the back page of the paper next day I realised it was nationaly significant draw. We then pullen in to a services where a Derby coach had broken down, they were trying to get everyone home by sneaking a few onto each passing Derby coach. We picked up some lads (from Ripley?) who told us tales of 80's style football action and lead the singing on the way home.

    I have a dilema about Blackburn, my Mrs's says it's a stupid idea to go and I used to meet up with my dad who doesn't do away games any more so I'd be on my own. On the other hand I want a night match and unlike home games I can get a train home. Go on tell me it's a good idea.
