    A lot of knock off vapes have all sorts of noxious materials in them. I’d prefer not to take the chance of breathing them in

    DavesaRam got a reaction from Woodypecker in Accrington Stanley (H) Mon 2nd Jan, 3pm KO   
    By insisting that the case be heard at the EFL Tribunal rather than in a court of law, which meant that the case could continue to hang over us. The case was so weak that it would have never made it to  court of law. Parry then refused to define whether the claim was a football or non-football debt, which again could have determined the effect of the claim against us. Instead it hung there preventing any attempt to be brought out of administration. Parry made some of the right noises, but in reality I don't think hen lifted a finger to help us until we had been consigned to relegation, which was his aim all along.

    I hope that Parry is worried that we are going to take legal action against him and/or the EFL for restriction of practice. Once they had pulled the trigger about our accountancy practices, they took months and months before taking the next step, so we were effectively on hold as a club for ages. They broke their own rules and processes, got Gibson to make a spurious claim against us so that he didn't take the EFL to court, then refused to have the claim heard in a proper court of law. The court wouldn't have even entertained the case, then the EFL sat on the fence about whether his claim was a football or non-football claim until the transfer window was over, which meant we lost two key players, effectively consigning us to relegation. And ironically the rule which we were supposed to have broken with the amortisation method we used didn't actually exist in the EFL rule book until February 2022 - years after the "offence" was supposed to have happened.
    The whole case could have been dealt with in a matter of months, instead of the years it dragged on for, during which time we were heavily restricted in how we could operate. There are probably reasons why we can't pursue the claim, but boy wouldn't it blow the EFL into smithereens?

    I took the plunge yesterday and took Miss Wolfie (just turned 10) along for her first match.
    I was concerned she'd be bored because she doesn't ever sit & watch a whole match on TV with me and, to be fair, she was showing signs of losing interest midway through the first half.
    3 goals later and her laughing at the bouncing South stand in a great second half meant that she thoroughly enjoyed it and asked me on the way home when she can go again. It also helped that it gave her something to brag about at school today, with pretty much everyone else in her class being F*rest fans.

    What a place to be in. Couldn't go today, and only listened to RD for the 2nd half. Curiously my non-footballing wife has put FA Cup football on 3 times this weekend, and I have just watched Manchester City v Chelsea. City have been really good, and lead 3 - 0 at half-time, but I said to Veronica "You can watch whatever you want". "What about the football?" she asked. "It doesn't matter" , I replied. IT DOESN'T MATTER!IT isn't Derby County, and it is a world where money, power and privilege count for all. Skill, ability, etc are irrelevant. If we get into that realm, then it will matter because it is Derby County, but right now, I don't care one thing about it.
    BUT: the half-tie punditry includes Alan Shearer, who slammed Chelsea, describing them as embarrassing. Regardless of the score, he said "You need to put a shift in. They (Chelsea) haven't". Then I think back to Paul Warne telling us he wanted our player to "gas out" on the pitch, and that is an important factor to what is going on at Pride Park. It has taken a while but we are seeing the results. Our fitness has now reached the right levels, so giving it our all is now well within our capacity. Along with that, Paul's people skills is building a togetherness we haven't seen, possible since the days of Nigel Clough!
    Paul has changed us from being a bunch of kids and dads who nobody wanted, into a team nobody wants to play! Brilliant!

    Highlight of the day was when PW came over to the south stand afterwards, removed his bobble hat and gave a theatrical, pantomime-style bow. Marvellous.
    On an separate note, lots of people vaping in the SS. It's disgusting having to breathe that in. Any chance you could show some consideration and wait until half/full time and go outside? Thanks.

    I thought the same of Jason Knight at the last match before Christmas where he waved and fist-pumped like crazy, to a degree he doesn't normally do. I was sure he had already got another club. Besides, Curtis always makes a point of making good acknowledgment with the South Standers, like he does with all the other stands. He's a great bloke!

    Yep, ?? and from an entirely self centred POV I thought, good lad, you saw (and experienced) what we the fans saw. 
    it really does bode well, there is an intriguing honesty at the moment. I suppose,having been round the block for 64 years, you can say these things when we are winning and on an upward curve but it does feel right beyond that doesn’t it ?
