  1. Watch the Dropout on the BBC to see how easily the Corporate World can be hood winked by chancers.
  2. Be at the players’ entry for around 12:15…they arrive between then and 13:15. 13:15 is about the time the opposing team arrive and park the bus.
  3. Ahh…the Old Bell Hotel is the actual birthplace of Derby County FC…back in Sept 1883 Derbyshire CC Club held their meetings there… Cricket Treasurer: “We’re forked gentlemen…Racecourse people want to alter the back-straight so we’ve got to move the cricket pavilion. It’ll cost £2000 …and as thee knows we’re already £2000 Guineas in the red at the bank…” <gasps all around> William Morley <checks his pocket watch…it’s 20:24> “The answer is quite simple gentlemen …Let’s start a football team…Notts County charge 1d entry & regularly pull in crowds of over 800…”.

  5. Today’s kids miss out of all that juvenile high jinx in favour of Tik-Tok & discussing their mental health breakdowns online with total strangers 😲.
  6. If you like history/architecture may I suggest that you have a look at the houses that make up Railway Terrace adjacent to the Brunswick Inn just along from Derby Railway Station. They were built by Stevenson and designed by Francis Thompson in 1840’s; the whole chebang only survived the wrecking ball with 20 minutes to spare - the Council wanted to flatten the whole lot and build a flyover - but were saved by Derby Civic Society taking out listed status and turned up to stop the demolition with literally 20 minutes before it was due to start. In fact Derby Station and the Midland Hotel opposite were also Stevenson and Thompson creations. Derby Station is a tri-junct where 3 mainlines meet. It made Derby the centre of the railway world; and notably the original plan was for Notts to be the centre but those Nimbies turned it down feeling it would besmirch their fair city - 🤷‍♂️ I know. Anyway, enjoy your time. I’ve had 2 great away days in Blackpool in the last 2 seasons so hope you do too - apart from the result of course. https://www.brunswickderby.co.uk/history/

  8. We’re on our wayyyyy, we’re on our way…
  9. I suspect you’ll be bouncing all night! 😉
  10. Edward was wearing black Adidas Kaiser 5’s that day; Jake Buxton said to Edward in the dressing room pre-match “Thems proper boots yeuth”. I still have them.
  11. My son Edward was mascot that day. Living in West Bridgford & surrounded by Red Dogs at school, Derby County had the foresight to offer the job to Edward…He fully milked the bragging rights accordingly at school on the Monday morning. 😉
  12. Ok @Comrade 86 I’ll sort it. Thanks for your help @angieram.

  16. Excellent train-spotting Sir! What’s in your flask?
  17. Just how hard do you believe his tackle to be 🤷‍♂️
  18. Superb Nick. Scraves, Flanges & Ballions, let’s make sea of black & white in the spirit of @B4ev6is @B4’s Sister.
  19. Until last night I thought him a defensive barndoor but he’s clearly on a wavelength with Dwight and so also a rangey passer with 2 exquisite passes to set up goal-scoring openings. Would definitely cut it at Championship level and hope he comes permanently for next season. He clearly loves it here and that counts for a lot. Get him signed.
