Honestly,I'm anticipating a slow start,as per this season,as the new squad gels under warned and gains it's fitness,then a consistent run from December onwards,leaving us in the playoffs.

Used to open on non match days,we had my son's 21st birthday party there mid week a few years ago.

Once you open the article - If you have an iPhone click ‘Aa’ in your search bar then   ‘Show Reader’ on the top left hand side and it gets rid of all the ads etc.

Dunno if Android have an equivalent.

You just use a browser such as brave,it does it all automatically.

The OP asked a question. People have offered answers.

Get out,it's merely an excuse for the whingers to briefly crawl out of their boxes after being firmly placed in them after promotion.

I swear some people are genuinely upset that warne achieved it with us.

Christ,at last a place for the anti warne brigade to visit and call their own.

You miserable lot.

If you are in a shunt what's to say the batteries have not been compromised.

Do you have links regarding the first part? Just need education on the batteries used in cars. Every one I've used in many devices does not last years with the same power after many recharge cycles. Is it true an ev could be written off even if an accident is "slight" due to the unknown state of batteries?

There's lots of information out there but here's a link to a reasonable article.

Just in respect of the batteries following an accident...basically insurance companies are being ultra cautious and instead of replacing individual cells which have been damaged in an RTC,they are replacing the whole lot which is unnecessary and expensive.There are companies out there that already repair damaged batteries.It will just take time for insurers to catch up.

Also you can't really compare EV batteries to mobile devices batteries,they are completely different.

I was just reading Elton's latest brain-fart though. He's decided that Tesla can somehow harness all the compute power of the Teslas sat on driveways while not being driven, as some sort of grid computing network... to do "stuff"

Aside from this maybe annoying the owners who have charged their car for travel, and not for waking up to find it needs charging again because it's been doing "stuff" all night - this will also surely reduce the battery life long term. Or at least totally invalidate current battery life projection figures

Still - it gets the investors excited and maybe props the share price up a bit longer eh?

I wouldn't bet against him,I know I haven't got a space rocket program!

I've got a Chevrolet Volt - gives me about 35 miles of electric charge and then a petrol engine. Run it locally, largely, and ten years on two points to note:

- Currently tracking at about 96mpg, we use it for long trips but happily use only electric on most runs

- Ten years / 80k miles on I see very little fall off in the range or charging time. It might drop off to nothing one day soon but seen less to nothing worth writing home about to date

Definitely thinking about the BYD Atto for our next car, they get a bit beaten up for having a limited distributor network but if you live near one that becomes a moot point. I'm not too deflected by YouTube clickbait warriors, or about the reports that Tesla Cybertrucks are being withdrawn because the accelerator is sticking on many.

We have a plug in hybrid but will be changing it for a polestar 2 or ioniq 5 later in the year as we found we use the petrol engine side so rarely (and it's so much better to drive and cheaper in EV mode) that we decided to buy a full EV next.

For me it's not the engines but the batteries. After a few years of use the life left is still an unknown and unclear how long would be left before expensive replacements are needed. It's that unknown which puts me off.

Batteries are proving to be outlasting the rest of the car with very few failures being revealed.

Every EV comes with an 8 warranty at the very least but they are expected to last much,much longer than that.

Beating wolves 5 nil back in 2014...some stonking goals and my wife's family are all wolves fans and we're over that day for lunch which made it all the sweeter.

Gets overshadowed by our deforesting of the treetards that season but was on a par for me 

Ok to visit but I wouldn't want to live there....

I've managed to get two tickets for the match today, but they're in the Carlisle end. What's the worst that could happen? At least I could say I was there...

I doubt their fans will care mate,so just do it.

On the train to New St, fully scraved up, should get into Derby at 10:27. Does anyone know if the Brunswick is opening early? If not, we’ll head to the South Stand bar.

Should be bit not sure,going there too

Thanks for the replies, and for the avoidance of doubt, I'm only asking about the charging infrastructure as a problem I want to see solved - rather than being a grumpy old git suggesting that EVs will never work because (shakes fist)

I hate owning a car anyway - petrol or electric. I just want the cheapest option available to me, with the least hassle. Does anyone actually make an EV yet that isn't a willy-waving "big car"? Feels like car design in general has been increasing the size for a long time. When you see "big cars" from the 70s and 80s now, they look tiny in comparison to the massive cars that everyone seems to have these days (what my wife calls "fat bloke cars")

 

 

There's loads out there,mini EV,fiat 500 EV,Mazda mx30,mg4,id3,cupra born....

All great small cars and reaching price parity new but especially 2nd hand with traditional ice cars.

The mg4,which is a superb car,is already cheaper new than a new ford focus or golf but is similar size and with a 7 year warranty against their paltry 3 years.

No brainer if you can charge at home (around 250 miles of range for £5 of electricity on the cheap tariff we have)

My faves in the past month,fallout (superb!),3 body problem (brilliantly done)rebel moon and baby reindeer (disturbing but it draws you in)

Some great stuff out there at the moment,a feast for the eyes.

Can only beat the teams in front of you, but it's league one. Let's not get carried away.

They are playing the top team in the league,we are playing the absolute bottom side.

Haven’t we broken the record for away wins in a season. If so. Incredible. 

We have!

Nerves are getting to the lads and that's bloody understandable.

But,c'mon get a grip and just hold onto the ball and take control.

Id be thinking about bringing waghorn on to just retain some possession further up the pitch.

I’m watching Watford v Hull as it’s on Star+.

We have got plenty of work to do this summer. Both of these move the ball far quicker, far smoother.

You can see why Plymouth and Sheff Wed have struggled this season.

I hope sentiment doesn’t come into it this summer. We will need an upgrade on a good six or seven of our first-team.

Give it rest bris,we know how you feel about how derby play.

Let us just enjoy the rest of the season.

Rams tv for today,in our normal seats in the east stand for Carlisle.

God,please let it be done and dusted today.

Too nervous to wait for kick off,I'm going out for a run to take my mind off it

COYR!!!

Not sure I agree with this really. Of the people I chat to at the match, it's a highly divisive topic and is probably 60-40 in favour. Fans are chanting in support in the match, but that doesn't make it entirely representative of their true feelings. 

I don't recognise this from where I am in the east stand,warne is barely talked now,the discussions are about the opposition and individual players performances,not the gaffer.
