She was also credited with opening the 1st ale house in Derby, It turned out to be a right high spirited place on a Saturday night, The site was around the top end of St Peters street/Osmaston road...just where the Neptune is now 😁
Her Story

A good and fair blog, mate.
Derby is steeped in history, from the small Roman settlement of Derventio at what is now Chester Green, through the little known 10th century Battle of Derby, when Queen Æthelflæd of Mercia defeated the Vikings and captured Derby, to the Enlightenment and birth of the industrial revolution, development of the railways and being a centre of engineering excellence.
A brief tour of the Museum of Making at the Old Silk Mill followed by a walk round the Cathedral Quarter to Derby Museum to see the paintings of Joseph Wright will give you a good background picture. Just try to ignore the many planning and development disasters facilitated by generations of abysmal local town planners and City councils which have destroyed what was once a gem of a Georgian market town.
As a sensible solo visiting supporter, no pub should be out of bounds, but if you're into Real Ale in particular, the Flower Pot, Silk Mill, Exeter and Dolphin have both the history and the beer. Nearer the stadium and station are the Brunswick, Alexandra Hotel and Smithfield which are among the best ale pubs in the country.

Have to say that with a train strike that was some impressive away support from those that went...👍

Seen a few state that it was 3 points but a hard watch , not really how I saw it , I enjoyed it , hard fought win away against an out of form team who actually have some decent players who can hurt you ,it swung about with both teams having periods of looking on top and a piece of quality won it , the fans sounded fantastic on rtv ,
rinse and repeat , simple fact is we just need to go out and get as many wins as we can , that’s warnes job and he is doing pretty decent at it ,
max bird was beating his hand on the badge and was as good as I’ve seen him ( wasn’t sure how loan back would pan out ) , perhaps though knowing/feeling it was time for a new challenge he did it in a way that helped the club also ,,, as people have stated ,why not wait till season end and maximise his choices and money scenario, he has signed with a new club but brought in much needed money to derby and stayed on loan to obviously ( clear from yesterday) give his all to leave this club promoted and in a better place , perhaps the club wanted/ needed him to move now if not signing on for another contract , he has my support for the rest of the season for which he is very much one of us and my best wishes for the rest of his career

Well done to the boys. Sounded like a hard fought win. Well done to all those Rams fans too who battled just as hard to just get to the game. Safe journey home. 

A nice thing to do donating his PFA player of the year trophy.
He was some player🐏🐏🐏🐏🐏
 
 

Those making observations about Warne’s style of football and Bird could well be right, maybe he’ll tell us all in a book one day.
A thought that’s occurred to me is maybe he’s just decided it’s time to move on in the summer. He’s been at the club for years, and a lot of those years have been turbulent times, he stood by the club when others walked away or forced their way out, maybe he’s just ready for something else but wants to help towards promotion before he goes.  

Honestly cannot be arsed to get into this debate with anyone today but if that’s what you think the Derby Way was or that what Max Bird’s game is then you probably watch a different version of football to me

Some great memories in here. Can anyone spot themselves?

I've just remembered a thought that I had going into injury time tonight, I looked up into that inky black sky and said "come on B4 give us a hand", you didn't let us down, mate.🐏

Walk along Tissington trail near Parsley Hay. Completely litter free apart from every few yards little black or green bags of Doggy poo. On return walk of about a mile and half I counted 18. Who do they think is going to collect it all. Getting dog owners a bad name.

Popped up on my YouTube feed, Clough talking about our first season back in the top flight, hadn't seen this before.
Enjoy

B4 April 2023……………………If ever we needed a rallying call.
 
Well calling all derby fans to get really really really behind the lads we need get behind the lads lets have wall of noise and have sea of black and white let's have scafs flags and balloons let's cheer lads on into the play offs. The louder we are the better lads play. Let  burton players shake with fear and let them think what on earth have we got our selfs into here.

Congratulations to Paul and his team and very well-deserved. 
I always think a Management team's job is a frustrating one, because if you win it's in spite of you, when you lose it's all your fault.
Enjoy the moment, get your heads down and carry on the good work. 

So I’ve not been on the forum for ages. I didn’t know B4 other than on here. I’m an ex season ticket holder and have moved away from Derby although I pay my subs and listen online.
However B4 was a legend on here, a great positive influence and in his own unique and wonderful way represented us as Derby fans so well. I am sad to read of his passing but heartened to read the outpouring of love for this legend. 
RIP B4 thanks for being you.

It's disgraceful that these problems were evident over 20 years ago and nobody at the PO or government at the time either noticed and/or was prepared to act upon it. 
What can't be defended is the lack of action since the problems have come to light in the appeal courts. The people responsible for this have put  these sub postmasters through hell and will end up costing us taxpayers hundreds of millions of pounds, custodial sentences and loss of pensions should be the least of their punishments.
Whilst, I applaud the ITV for bringing this injustice to the fore, I feel that questions must be asked of them, regarding the exclusion of the head of the post office, prior to Paula Fennells. He was Adam Crozier and when he left his post at the post office, he went to become the head of ......................................................ITV.

Also bear in mind that the phantom 'losses' which were repaid by some of those accused went in the Post Office's profit figures!

Couldn't agree more.  People's lives have been destroyed off the back of this. Lost their job, house, family, friends. Some sadly have even gone to their graves being incorrectly labelled as a criminal. Someone really needs to be held to account.  Incompetence and cover up on a massive scale.  What's even more sad, despite some convictions being quashed, it's taken ITV making this drama for further action to be taken, including even more people coming forward as victims.  I do wonder how many more were affected above the 100s we're already aware of.  Shameful. 

I thought I'd start a new thread as it was starting to get discussed in the watchable telly thread.
I haven't watched the ITV drama yet but I will.
I was aware of the story, but not especially as it happened when we were living in the US and I had no clue it ran into hundreds of people with each one being told nobody else had other issues.
This is looking like the biggest scandal/cover-up of our time with a lot of people complicit. I hope the duckers who ok'ed this at the highest level get sent down.
 

We once had a poll which included a Mr Charismatic!
I won this in 2012 and the title has not been contested since!
In recent years Daniel would have won it by a Cornish mile!
His charisma shone through the posts and topics he put on this site.
He will always be loved and respected as he epitome of a true fan!

Excellent stuff from Bird for 2 goals today

Bird amazing there 

Not sure I agree on the temperament front entirely in the context of his time with us, I thought he displayed a level of cool-headedness in a dire situation that was quite admirable. He could quite easily have binned us off entirely and it wouldn't have harmed his reputation at the time at all, just chalk it up to us being a basket case, but he didn't.

Only 20 apps and he'll have made more appearances than any other player for 36 years! 17 away from being in the all time top 20.
