    Yes that would be good. At the last home game I had a look at the photographs of our history on the fence behind the south stand. I was a bit surprised to see that it seemed to miss out the Arthur Cox years, probably my most enjoyable time as a fan.

    A great montage of memories which would be absolutely phenomenal if they were painted onto a timeline that stretched around the concourses of Pride Park; a timeline of memories.

    I was only pulling your leg, in all honesty I was only two at the time so any pain has only been formed from that of my old man’s pain, and of course Alan H, you are correct, those evenings when you could see the steam coming off the players and the mist (what ever it was ?) blowing in from Leys chimneys, the smell of the turf aswell, all very mesmerising and atmospheric, also the way you could hear the players calls to each other, there’s another penno !

    Great point, there was such a choice of pre match boozers, on a summers night it was amazing to walk up to the ground walking past the pubs, the smell of beer and fags, or cigarettes and alcohol as oasis said, the atmosphere around each pub, the chants, the banter, the pushing to the front of the bar and then as one every heading down Cambridge st, nothing what so ever like the walk to Pride Park, at the BBG the atmosphere was built up in those site streets and taken into the ground with you, it was impulsive not fabricated, you only have to watch some of the old 80s game to hear it, the football in the early 80s had gone long ago but the atmosphere was still there, maybe not so electric but none the less still there.

    When Nick De Marco represented us we won the case.
    The EFL then get their own LAP to overturn the decision with no right of appeal.
    Had there been a right of appeal, I have no doubt that we would have won again.
    Corrupt system set up for their to only be one winner.

    I went down to junction 18 but I think it might have been 18A either way I missed them both and came in at junction 19 which was really useful to avoid the city centre traffic. We parked in a council car park just down from the Nova Scotia it was £5 for 5 hours which was less than the £10 most places were charging. We wanted to watch Buxtons FA cup match but both the Nova Scotia and Pump House didn’t have a TV. While looking for a pub with a TV I came across a pub called Mardyke Hotel which was a strange place but the beer was half the price of the other pubs so that was a good thing. I felt quite safe around the ground and people seemed quite friendly. Saw the Santa’s on motorbikes bombing around. 
    As for the game we didn’t turn up first half second half we still didn’t really look like scoring. Do you have any fans that sing? I assume they were in the far left hand corner but not very vocal. 
    I quite liked the ground and if the pitch invader was from Derby he most likely wanted a 3 year ban to keep him away from the ground. 
    A bit of a shout out to your No.  22 Kalas who gave us a clap at the end.

    Yes. The result of negotiations with EFL. We were able for once to make EFL see sense. WR advised that EFL were unfairly blocking a young player’s progress.

    It's not really a suprise we're playing crap. Where is the attacking threat? We don't have a striker on the pitch. Get CKR on. We are playing Knight out of position again. Midfield lacks creativity, someone to play the killer ball. Get Morrison in there. Forsyth just doesn't do the job anymore sadly, he makes basic errors and is a yard off the pace. Just change something because this isn't working.

    Have just seen on Twitter that Birmingham City and Millwall are to remember Arthur in the 6th minute of tomorrow's game, a tribute which is being followed by a number of other clubs fans.
    Would be touching if we as a group of supporters could do the same thing, the reports of his case would make a grown man break down in tears.
    RIP Arthur

    I know we’re down already but it’s disappointing to see the poor performances creeping back in.
    I thought we played some good stuff earlier in the season but we’ve barely created any chances on the road since that draw at Preston.
