Need to meet before the match cos their mams need them home on time for tea. And it’s bath night tonight.

Last sentence is a tad optimistic

Can you name the pub? I used to live in Chesterfield.

It was in Clay Cross some years ago, not there any more

Can Mike Ashley even legally bid on the club?

It's well known he, or at least a company he owns, provided Amanda Stavelely with her loan to buy 10% percent of Newcastle, there's even legal proceedings pending in the matter.

Can he have a stake in two separate clubs at the same time, however arms length?

It's fine, the EFL already know about it. They are planning to revisit it for our 2028/29 season points deduction

The drive back up the M1 with bin dippers on every motorway bridge in Leicestershire was the worst journey ever.

No matter how many pink seats at Middlesbrough,  they'll announce the attendance as about 29,000. They always do.

They forget we know what 29, 000 looks like in a ground that shape.

The commentary on the Man Utd cup match described Boro as a big club with regular 30,000 home attendances. Yet another example of commentators rhetoric bearing no resemblance to fact. I would guess that probably half of the 9000 at Old Trafford haven't been to a home game this season

It doesn't always work. Last Sunday I was at my grandsons junior match, as I have been every weekend for the last 8 years, and ended up in a heated debate with a Stoke fan on the touchline. He had seen me flicking onto Skygo on my phone for the Rams match and had to come and tell me that he didn't like Derby, we were cheats and should be relegated no matter what. Whilst I know I should have ignored him, I had to try and educate him but the gaps in his knowledge were so vast and the gap between his ears was making him so hard of understanding that it took me half the match!  We have got an away game on the outskirts of Rotherham tomorrow, goodness knows what reaction my Rams bobble hat will provoke from the troglodytes up there.

You don't have to be Nostradamus or an ex-Premier league referee to draw those conclusions. 'After analysing controversial footage' should just read ' I watched the match on Sky'. Pure clickbait, nothing more.

Does anyone know the best treatment to get them white? I know it used to cost around £500 but I suspect the price has come down a bit.

Have you tried Domestos?

Good luck - we could use a legal expert on here.

Not another one, we've got at least 200 already!

Sorry, RamsTrust, didn't realise this was all about you.

And RamsTrust wonder why people don't like them. This is about the future of Derby County, not the 'likes' or the credit. We need all the good publicity we can get, it really doesn't matter whose 'idea' it is

Year upon year of mediocrity, a fan base completely disgruntled, a stadium falling apart (there is a great tweet out there about a fan who took his own screwdriver/screws to fix his seat), crap football and no desire on what to achieve in the future.

Yes I want the club run on a sensible ship but do we honestly want this bloke to be the one who does it. Has anyone actually read about how Sports Direct treat their staff up in Chesterfield? If you haven’t - just Google it.

Sorry but Appleby and co over this guy any time of the day.

Oh and whoever posted that one of the positives was selling to a Saudi Prince… made me laugh for sure.

Last time I poked my nose out of my front door, Shirebrook wasn't in Chesterfield

Has anyone checked to see if our friend in the North East is ok with this? Wouldn't want him getting his curls in a twist again.

If there is a God then the incoming player will be someone they were interested in too. ?

Balogun and 32red pick up his 40k a week wages, then sit back and reach for the popcorn

Wasn't it said at the time that we wanted to renew Marriotts contract but were prevented from doing so by EFL sanctions, hence his return to Peterboro? 

I think I've spotted the kernel of a conspiracy theory here. Could someone from the Coronavirus thread do a statistical analysis on the correlation between the need to divulge personal information and keeping cats? A couple of graphs too would be nice

Not sure the little hand-written card you get with your jabs is going to be worth the card it's written on.  Heard or read somewhere it's not acceptable?

 

Also... wifi... PPS... matchday...

Might be worth downloading your on-line pass so you can show it off-line.  I've saved mine (on i-phone) in both "Files" and in my "Apple Wallet" thingy, just in case the internet struggles?

Valid until 13th Jan as it stands, so I've made a memo to update and re-save before then, as I believe the live pass gets updated every few days?  

 

I hasten to add... Please don't read any of the above with the assumption that I know what I'm talking about!  ?

I may be wrong, but I understood the pass was valid for 30 days and updates each time you log into the app
