‘American Pancakes’ as a starter on the menu today. Can only mean one thing… 

The idea of still being able to 'staff up' to 23 players of 'professional standing' is supposedly "to maintain the integrity of the competition."
How the hell is us potentially starting the season with one 20 year old centre back, who's never actually played a first team game, and no other centre backs on the books, maintaining the integrity of the competition?
Duck off EFL.

Warm up match before today’s game. Charity game at Gresley Rovers. ?

Or... Nixon has plucked a number out of his arse crack 

Equally plausible. Probably more so.

Well to Derby players go and take the game to man utd try and to play attacking football this is your chance to throw marker and message to rest of the league that we are not going no wear and message to efl and that banker gibson that tried his Damnist  to destroy but guess what we are Derby county and we are fighters and we shall stick togather and what ever numbers I am calling all Derby fans to make as much noise as possible.

Bloody Burton used to keep stealing Gresley's best players of them... Tony Marsden & Christian Moore for two and I'm sure there were others that I can't recall the names of.
Gresley Rovers was never the same after Frank Northwood era for me, though I did enjoy the glory year under Paul Futcher where they would have been promoted for the Conference but for the standard of the Moat Ground. Unbelievable to think what they achieved now, glad I saw it though, proper football.

Thanks for the clarification Ken.

I think of him more as a young Bucko

Pretty much that era, grew up roaming the streets of Swad, Gresley, Burton during the late 80s lol.
I went to the Gresley Rovers vs Guisley, Burton Albion vs Kidderminster and Derby vs Cremonese finals at Wembley all around that time - although I vaguely remember coming back from Uni for at least one of them.  Pity none of them ended up winning.  Infact the only time Derby have won at Wembley in my lifetime, I couldn't go lol - every other time I've have been, they have lost.  I'm not going to the next one...
Anyway, yeah I remember the match well, great day out and a thrilling football match.  Amazing what little Gresley Rovers achieved around that time.  I recall watching them play Burton Albion over Christmas one year as well at the old Eton Park.  Funny how both teams have progressed since then - although tbf Gresley were only ever a tiny, tiny club compared to Burton.

What era of Gresley are you? I used to go as a kid with my Dad in the late 80s and early 90s. Went to the FA Vase final (and the replay) in 1991..  greatest Wembley final ever, 0-3 down, 4-3 up and drew 4-4 ?

Both the DET & BBC Derby have confirmed we're in talks with American consortiums...how much more concrete do you need without the club making another statement which they can be beaten with if it falls through again

Absolutely!
Note the lack of press coverage of this too compared to the usual tripe that they put out about us.

I would agree until you see the number of games that Sky were screening (especially midweek) or another outlet showing abroad, so precluding Rams TV coverage.
