I was in Sri Lanka, on business, for the play-off final against West Bromwich Albion. I just couldn't get home and I went to virtually every hotel in Colombo to see if they were broadcasting the game and all they could show was either cricket or tennis!! Both my daughters were at Wembley and they were texting me every 15 minutes which had me texting and telephoning them back which cost me a fortune. My consolidation that day was it was one of the coldest and wettest May day in London and I was alongside a bar terrace overlooking the Indian Ocean. Wherever we are all in the world today lets cheer on the Rams from afar as the team gets us over the line to the Championship. COYR's

Bob the Badger - Do you really think I'm having a go at the likes of yourself, then you are mistaken. I'm now in my 70's, having first stepped inside the Baseball Ground in 1962, as well as retaining my season ticket when I worked in the Middle East for 20+ years!! Oh yes, that was difficult getting back to Derby and I missed many games. You know as well as I do, there are so called "fans" who try to convince you that they've "never missed a game", but be unable to name a player; manager or any outstanding games which we could all recall instantly. Look at the scramble and arguments which arose when we last played at Wembley and "fans" were trying to get tickets for the play-off game. You mark my words, if we end up in the Wembley play-off final again, then it'll be exactly the same arguments.

We also won a Division 1 title with one of the lowest ever points total (2 points for win), and did you moan that season that the league was dreadful?

If "fans" wanted a ticket for the last match of the season, why didn't they buy them 4 weeks ago when there were a sufficient number still available? Are these "fans" touts or just "sunshine supporters"? To all the fans now wanting tickets, here's a message, either buy a season ticket and you'll never miss a game, or a Wembley ticket, or you choose your game well in advance and purchase a ticket when they come online.

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.

If Rams are away and I'm not able to go, then I watch Belper Town or Mickleover FC, or sometimes if both of those teams are away then I'll wander down to Eyes Meadow, Duffield to watch a local team.

I believe the official ground capacity is 32,500, however, with swathes seats being covered over for segregation purposes I doubt if the maximum will ever be more than 31,500. The highest Pride Park attendances have been approx. 34,000 for the England vs Mexico international and the Rams vs Rangers testimonial games which had very little, if any, segregation.

It's not Barker's call. It's the match day sponsors who choose the MotM, and after the game the player, in this case Ward, comes into the Toyota hospitality suite to be interviewed by McFarland, Davies & Wilson, then have photographs with the sponsors. I know because I was there.

I'm not sure the crowd noticed on Saturday as Stevenage had a player, at every corner, standing next to Wildsmith and either baulked his movement towards the ball or was pulling his shirt as he tried to jump for the ball. This is a similar tactic that Arsenal having been doing this season in the Premier and has been highlighted a couple of times on MotD, especially in their win against Liverpool recently.

Would two 'Blue' cards = one 'Yellow' or a 'Red' Card. And what happens if a player already has a 'Yellow' card and the next foul the player commits is only deemed as a 'Blue'?

Having followed Derby County for 60+ years, bad language on the terraces has always been prevalent, however, I can't recall 10,000+ fans singing and chanting vile and abusive comments about ex-players, the EFL or club directors. In no way am I a prude, having spent my younger days as an apprentice in a Derby factory where some of the women could and would give as good as the men, and twice as scary, but quite honestly, in my mind, the language of the terraces has become abhorrent.

If we play as well as we did last Saturday, we'll win tonight 4-0, irrespective of what team we put out, which may include three under-21 players.

Yes, I was there as well in the Boys End/Corner, having, like yourself, walked from Breadsall Hill Top, aged 13, at 4 o'clock in the previous Sunday morning, to get a ticket. It was January 1966 and if I remember correctly Man Utd went 3-0 up and Derby brought it back to 3-2 just before half-time.In the 2nd half, if I'm remembering this right, Denis Law scored with a back heel at the near post, at the Normanton End goal, and he said something to Reg Mathews, Derby's 'keeper, who went for him. I'm not sure if he connected or not!! However, this wasn't my first cup game, which was in February 1963 when Derby played Peterborough, following about 15 cancellations due to the 3 months of snow and ice we endured in the winter of !962-63. No central-heating them days, just extra blankets on the bed and the need scrape the ice off the windows on the inside of the house, however, that's another story in a time of long ago!!!

Not only do you have to register for ITVX, which is free, however you also have an Smart TV which is no older than 2012 ?

Following the final whistle of this game there was a mass invasion of the pitch by the Wolves fans which was met by the Derby fans on the pitch with the police trying to keep them apart - I know, because I was amongst it.
