Where we are is existing when we may have gone altogether. Where we are heading is upward in a sustainable way. I want my Grandson to be able to take his Grandchildren to games in our new Superstadium in 2074

Erm, shouldn't this be in the 'Other Sport' forum?......

When I came to Derby in 1967.I lived about 5 doors down with 4 other RR apprentices. The Landlady was the Mrs Sayer who owned the corner shop in the picture. Lovely lady.

Welcome Jake. A slight warning: Brits have a well developed sense of irony and sarcasm in their humour which I know from long experience often completely passes Americans by and can be read as an insult.
So never take as malice that more easily explained by cultural divergence. It's just banter!

Not at all. It was just a thought that you may not have considered ,but obviously have.
A mate had an old Caravan he used to sleep in when on-site away from home. It burnt down one day, but the insurance refused to pay out because of the way he had covered it.

Various places as been years since I went to Donnington so wandered about between races.

Went to the Bennet's Superbikes Sunday. First time at a live meeting.
Expecting quite a bit of excitement after seeing TV highlights. What a bore!
Every race just became a procession apart from a junior race which was a bit closer, but where some youngster nearly got killed on the last corner. 
More fun watching the planes land eating my £5 Ice cream.
 

Put them on. Go sit in a hot bath for an hour, They shrink to fit perfectly. 'course your bits are all Denim blue by then. Ah the sixties!

Spent hours looking for the difference to the official logo then I realised that is the joke.  DOH!

Without parroting the "we only had 5 players just before the season started" mantra over and over again, the truth is at least 5 teams in our league, were at a far more advanced stage of team development than us - and it showed.

We got off to a slow start because of it, we had a squad relatively thin in numbers, which told on occasions - and that, ultimately was the difference between a play-off spot, or better - and not.

We could argue PW wasn't good enough, terrible key refereeing decisions in games, but ultimately lack of consistency cost us.

I'd argue, at the start of the season, the average expectation of our final position would be somewhere between 10th and 4th - and we pretty much performed as expected. Yes, we had a few star recruits like McGoldrick and Hourihane, in their twilight years, but you need strength throughout.

Recruiting late, and basically being stuck with those players with little or no wiggle room throughout the season, was no substitute for teams that were better planned and more organised than us.

You don't get out this division quickly, unless you are relegated from the Championship with a heavyweight squad that you can afford to maintain whilst you're down here.

Like most teams in League 1, we have to learn the "long division" route is the only sustainable route back up. We didn't have it, others did.

Close but no cigar. But realistically not that surprising. 'Twas always thus in this division. Having 30,000+ crowds doesn't guarantee anything unless you get the basics right. We didn't have the time to nail all those basics.

I'm as gutted as everybody else we missed out today, but foundations need to be built to progress upwards.

DTID.

They've spent virtually nothing on transfers though. Yes the wages are probably a bit higher than other teams in that league, but they aren't exactly drowning the club with money. If the level of investment stays as it is they'd be able to do that indefinitely
And if you are going to question how deep Reynolds pockets are we'll have to do the same with Clowes. Reynolds doesn't just make his money from movies - he's sold a number of company stakes for very good money in the past. 
EDIT: Just had a quick look and turns out they have only paid one transfer fee in the entire time they have been there. They've also increased the revenue to record levels. Still made a loss of £2mill, but its not exactly massive is it. Not sure why you are all so upset about a club that nearly ceased to exist having a very modest amount of investment plugged into it.

When its cold Centigrade but when its hotter I still prefer Fahrenheit. 60 Warm , 70 comfortable, 80 Hot, 90 Very hot , 100 Get more beer in. Cant get my head around the Centigrade versions.
