  1. Many countries/cities have cheap transit systems to get folk to work quickly and efficiently. There are many examples to look up but its also common sense really when you think about it. One example, My factory really struggles to recruit because you cannot get to Uttoxeter by bus or train for shift start and finish times. Working 9-5 is fine but all production line jobs are 6-2, 2-10 or 7-7 shifts and impossible without a car. A lot of applicants don't have their own transport. Cheap and efficient transit systems, running at times to suit shift workers would benefit both employers and workers, giving the latter more options.
  2. Cold War Steve is probably the best thing on X. Sums it up brilliantly......
  3. Never liked Cambridge since they beat us 3-0 in 1980 (We'll be back in 81 T shirts etc). I'm glad we trashed the place , let the cows out from the field next to the car park and generally behaved like complete bamfords. Also loads of spies and pisspoor politicians went to Cambridge. And its in the middle of nowhere and full of nonces (probably). Boo.
  4. All public transport should be run for the benefit of, well, the public. Its proven that cheap (or free) public transport is a benefit for the economy as a whole. It goes against the profit driven thinking but people who travel tend to spend money on their way and when they get there. On race days at Uttoxeter they never put an extra coach on the train service. Its bonkers. There's often fights on the platforms after a race meeting because people can't squeeze on the trains to Derby or Stoke/Crewe. If train companies had to make a profit from customers they'd put an extra coach or two on for a couple of hours before or after each meeting. They obviously get government handouts for their shareholders without having to provide a service to satisfy their customers.
  5. We should never have to pay for broadband, What a rip off. The global corporations who make billions out of the internet could easily afford to not charge us, We buy stuff from them. They make their money out of us using Facebook, Twitter, Google, Amazon, and all the other mega corps that control and own the internet. Its no different then having to pay to go to a street market for the pleasure of buying summat from a stall.
  6. Its all about belief now. Hopefully older lads who've done it before like Mendez-Laing, Bradley, Nelson, Hourihane, Fozzy and Waggy can calm the younger lads, help them concentrate to cut out individual errors. Its rare teams score worldies against us, its nearly always because we've given the ball away cheaply. I hope those lot are telling the boys how they'll feel to be part of taking this club up and boost their confidence. As a life long fan, all i want to see is total commitment to the cause, from both players and fans. We need B4 to give a team talk.
  7. Very hostile atmosphere, Vulcan St Popside was absolutely packed solid, dangerously so tbh. Norman Whiteside scored a great goal but we deserved a draw on the day. Even Mick Brolly did well at times! Shenanigans of the highest order took place after the game with gentlemen from Lancashire and Derbyshire exchanging pleasantries on the mile stroll to the station.
  8. Nothing to talk about Eddie. Teenage stone islanders hand bags by all accounts. Me and you would have chased them from Douglas Street to Midland Road even at our age.
  9. Thought Bradley was immense today. Won every header and made a great clearance off the line. Smith and Sibley were superb off the bench. We're going to need them all in the run in.
  10. Its late and time for bed but i have had the feelgood factor all evening. Had a few drinks in Uttoxeter tonight and had chats with Stoke, Villa, Wolves and others who all believe Derby are going up. Even a lonely gump said the same but he probably thought he had to! We're on our way, on our way......................
  11. @May Contain Nuts Please read @Archied s opening post above. You can find other threads not so positive but the OP has specifically asked for posters to be positive about todays win. Its not really hard to find somewhere else to moan is it?
  12. I always go to work on a Monday with a sore throat after supporting the Rams. I never said your not a proper supporter if you don't sing. I do feel you don't have a right to complain about singing if you don't join in yourself though. Anyway, up the Rams. lets cheer them om to promotion.
  13. Some of us never stopped singing all game, eventually the rest joined in.
  14. I'm not sure some of us realise how important the home support can be in seasons like this. We're not going to play like Man City so we have to get behind the players from the off. Poor control, bad pass, a slip or mistake........roar them on rather than moan. Encourage every player, all the time, It will be the difference between staying in this god awful division and going up,
  15. Absolutely gutted for the lad. Gave his all for us every game even when it wasn't going for him.
  16. Today felt like a promotion to me. We are going to do it, its not pretty but with the addition of Ebou in midfield we've got that bit of bite we needed. We matched a very physical team who are well drilled in the dark arts, we battled and kept trying to play despite several of their players constantly in the refs ear and the fat controller giving it large to the 4th official all game. Tough game and a massive 3 points. Fckn love Derby, Fckin love Derby..........Thought the South Stand got behind the lads today just as they needed it. That 10 minutes or so of noise kept the lads going and saw off any chance of them getting on top. We can do this, us and the team i mean. The fans made a difference i thought, some great noise during that second half. COYR.
  17. Jake will be back playing before that bloody web page opens.
  18. As you get into Derby Your hearts will start to fade you'll get yoiur effin heads kicked in as you walk on Derwent parade might need a bit of work.....
  19. Haha, stout looking chap in a blue shifrt/jumper.....stood up giving it some, we could clearly see him from the South stand!
  20. Missus wanted a Ring thing. I've managed to avoid it so far. The nosy old bugger next door tells us who knocked on and at what time.
  21. I agree Tamworth, i've voted for Collo because i'm a Derby fan and he's scored some good goals for us and worked his socks off. I haven't got a clue about the others! Should be picked by an independent panel who watch more than one team.
