Steve Bloomer's Washing

He was meant to talk for 3 hours, but left before the job was done to do a Stoke podcast.

I went into the interview determined to dislike him and make him squirm, but the reality is.... he's a very personable guy who openly admitted he maybe should've made different decisions while at the club.

Hey all,

We've got a great new interview out now on the SBW Patreon with Gary Rowett, in which he talks to us about:
- Taking over at Derby from Steve McClaren and his initial assessment of the squad.
- The 17/18 season, the post-Christmas slump, and failing in the playoffs.
- Leaving for Stoke that summer and seeing *those* snakes in the away end at Stoke.
- His thoughts on Will Hughes, Chris Martin... and Ikechi Anya.

You can join the SBW Patreon from as little as £3 a month to watch this 45-minute interview (part 2 coming soon), along with all our other bonus podcasts. You can even watch it for free if you sign up for a 7 day free trial.

It's a good chat, and he's fundamentally a decent guy who gave us 1hr 30 minutes of his time (though it probably helps that he's unemployed).



Cheers!
Chris

Hey all - some international break listening for you....

https://cms.megaphone.fm/organizations/bbb99ed0-497f-11ec-a486-a3792dd1b3d3/podcasts/1461f2ba-1fff-11ee-adf1-17022c4e0ccc/episodes/044ad71e-8591-11ee-91fe-8b1ac3913f65#Share Your Episode_tab

Days after we thought Warne's Rams had turned a corner with their impressive win over Barnsley, Derby embarrass themselves in the FA Cup, losing 3-1 at home to League Two Crewe Alexandra, in our first FA Cup First Round exit in nearly 30 years.
Chris, Cutch and Anton attempt to decipher Derby's ongoing inconsistency, but heap praise on Kane Wilson and James Collins for their recent performances.



Cheers!
Chris

Hey all, we've got a new podcast out:
 
Recorded live from the away end, join Richard Cutcher and Tom Martin for an audio adventure in deepest Cheshire, as Warne's Rams travel to Crewe Alexandra in the first round of the FA Cup. For Derby, a chance to gain confidence, score goals, put in a mood-boosting away performance and get ourselves in the hat for round two.
There's impressive buildings, chicken, six hours on a train, a late comeback, and plenty to ponder as Derby scrape a replay... just. 



Cheers!
Chris

Hey everyone - our new podcast is out now.

Paul Warne manages the mother of all 'must win' victories, as a routine 2-0 triumph over a limited Exeter City side eases the pressure on his job and lessens the toxicity around Pride Park temporarily.
Chris, Richard and Anton deliver an on-the-whistle reaction to Derby's 6th league win of the campaign and hail important goals for Nathaniel Mendez-Laing and Conor Washington, before asking if the latest victory really taught us much about the Rams' on-off promotion chances.
There's also a wider discussion on Paul Warne's future, whether a different manager could produce better results from the same squad and, crucially, whether SBW is 'Warne In',  or 'Warne Out'.

Hey all, we've got a new podcast out now:

https://traffic.megaphone.fm/COMG2419104398.mp3?updated=1697144905

A relatively comfortable 2-1 away win in the Papa John's EFL Trophy makes it seven games unbeaten for Derby County... so why does it feel like our season is still to get going? Chris is joined by Ollie Wright (@derbycountyblog) and debutant Phil Hile to assess the Blackpool win, Cheltenham draw, and Notts County victory, where the 'Sibley Enigma' is raised again - will he ever nail down a long term starting place under Paul Warne?
The panel also talk the return of Didzy, ex-Rams who got bad receptions, and the chaotic decision by Birmingham City to appoint Wayne Rooney as manager.


Cheers!

Chris and the SBW team

Yeah I'd love this - it would be great if those who have received beer mats (and are happy with them) could post an Etsy review, thank you.

I'm reliably informed that Etsy doesn't let you post review for a few days after you've got your item... so maybe a task for this weekend when Derby aren't playing!

Hey everyone

We've recently released two sets of unique Derby County beer mats - and they're now available to buy on the SBW Etsy store.

https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/SteveBloomersWashing





Hope you like them - let me know if you have any questions about them.

They're priced as:
£9.95 for one set
£14.95 for both sets.

Both prices include first class UK delivery.

Cheers!
Chris
 

And remember folks...
Etsy Shop owners rely heavily on favourable reviews for other potential customers to take note of, so if you've any positive comments to make after purchasing, don't just limit them to these pages!
😉👍
 

Arrived just now.
Top quality print, really clear. The mats themselves sturdy.
I know it states in on the etsy listing but thought I'd reiterate that they are double sided (same print both sides, not something 'lesser' on the back)
No sign of needing any extra postage paying.

Thanks for all the great feedback! It's been quite the weekend trying to keep up with these orders.

A *small* issue we might have with the 'Complete' sets. I weighed them at exactly 100g - the exact maximum weight for a 'large letter' in the UK... but when weighing a couple of international ones at the post office, they reckoned it was 104g - so there's a small chance some people may have to make up the postage, if Royal Mail are real jobsworths about it. 

If that does happen to any of you, I'll ofcourse refund any extra postage you have to pay.

Sorry in advance - I'm new to this and learning as I go....!

As a result - from here on in, the 'Complete' collection will now NOT feature the Carbonari beer mat (to make sure it's definitely under 100g).
