Poynton ram

And no damage to the City Ground, @TomBustler1884 raised this in the Boro tickets thread, but worth mentioning again.
The last thing we need is a bill to cover damages inside their stadium as you took your frustrations out on the toilets and pink seats.
We don't need any negative press to come from this game, none whatsoever, go do us proud over there and come back with the 3 points. 

I rally like this post in the petition comments:
 

If Mike comes in and saves my football club, enabling my son and his children and their children to carry on the tradition of following this famous old club, then I’ll happily chant his name, get behind him and be forever grateful to him, regardless of who thinks what about him. 
Bring it on big Mike 

No.
He's still leading us through the most difficult and horrendous season of our club's existence with a dignified calmness and getting superb performances from our squad of old men and kids.
We'll still be singing, "He goes by the name of Wayne Rooney", loud and proud for a bit longer yet.,
?

The sadness of this is slowly sinking in today. It's been a few years since I saw a group of Derby players who made me so proud to see them.
We've had better teams, and more successful teams, of course. Don't think any of them have performed so admirably despite increasing hopelessness.
I just hope it continues for the rest of the season. I've conceded that we're going down, but I don't want us to be totally abject and pointless. I want us to go down kicking and screaming and giving absolutely everyone a game. Starting with Bournemouth
The dedication our players have shown is the one thing that brings me back to the games in spite of all this. As a season ticket holder I hope they continue to give us a reason to keep coming back each week.

And let's not forget Cap Bombers - bad boy like this from the newsagent with a roll of caps. All for 20p.

Obviously that horse has bolted but why didn't the club sell the naming rights to generate some much needed income? No idea what could have been generated but surely there would have been some takers or was it simply a case of MM not wanting to sell until the club reached the Prem?

Anybody else see him on Sky Sports this morning talking about the game last night ? Very complimentary about Rooney and the style he is bringing to the team and his brave selection choices. Not entirely sure what his role of Technical Director involves though

Matt Carbon in the 3.0 win over Arsenal at PP. Think he played as first choice was injured. Brilliant

Anyone see footage of crowd trouble at Macclesfield yesterday? Robbie Savage acting as peace maker. Disgraceful scenes at a NWCL local Derby

Lost me……..so which accounts have been filed?

Apologies if this has already been covered but is there not anything in Rooneys contract that allows the club to terminate it with no compensation due to underperformance? If not then that is very poor negotiating as surely most contracts have that built in and certainly should have been the case for a rookie like WR? I thought MM was a shrewd businessman, clearly not

What about Edwina Currie? I know she is not an mp anymore but lives in Derbyshire, regularly on Radio5 Live and always has plenty to say. Let's get her on the case

Top quality toon- always ask for it when Clint Boon is djing in South in Manchester - he seems to like it as much as me. Saw em in Colne in 1991 with about 50 other people, massively underrated band
