Bob The Badger

I had a season ticket for 30 years until I moved to the US. I followed Derby home and away and have stood on terraces with a handful of other Rams fans in the days in the old second division when we had nothing like the away support we have now. And home games dipped under 10k. I put on bus trips many times from Matlock and I was as loyal as pretty much anybody on this board.

I now live in western Cornwall, and getting back for games is very difficult. Not least because the number of painkillers I have to take because I get sciatica when driving for more than an hour, is verging on suicidal.

I freely admit I'd not want to put myself through the pain and discomfort of driving 6 or 7 hours each way for a meaningless game, so if that means 'sunshine supporter' to you, so be it. But I'm relaxed in the knowledge that I've put in my time and spent tens of thousands of pounds watching Derby on 70 different league grounds. 

As for why I didn't buy one 4 weeks ago. That was because I had to make a choice of coming up for the Orient game or the last game, and as it was a mate's birthday this last weekend and my wedding anniversary on Saturday, we rolled the dice.

You shouldn't have moved to the US. You shouldn't have moved to Cornwall.
A true fan would live round the back of Frankie & Benny's, then spend every game moaning at the players, going for food at 35 mins, before leaving on the 80 min mark.

You mean more than face value. Their worth is incalculable!
I'm prepared to offer Mrs Badgers favourite Coach handbag and Kate Spade shoes. 
To some that's about a grand. To me it's my nut sack containing my nuts. 
But tbh, I use my nut sack less than she wears those shoes so it's worth it. 

4 episodes into the new season of Blue Lights.
A tad disappointed tbh. It feels more soapy and less edgy than the first series, with too many subplots involving love interests.
I was just thinking, "I wonder which of the female cops they will kill off?" when Mrs. Badger asked me the same question.
Not a spolier as we don't know that, it just feels that way.
Not bad but it's gone from an 8.5 to a 6.5 for me up to now.
 

s***, I'd not thought of that.
If anybody does have a ticket, can I please let you know at halftime of the Carlisle match if I want to come in?

I might be too late to warn you all but if you're thinking of watching Passenger on ITV/ITVX DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME!!!  Started off well enough, but rapidly went down hill and ended with an episode so lacking in answers me & Mrs R have been patiently waiting for episode 7 to appear for a week!!!
Whack on Baby Reindeer on Netflix instead, really dark & disturbing true story, that is laugh out loud funny at points.

I had my account hacked with somebody asking for one. 
Personally, I deserve one for the Cambridge game. I'd never missed a game in 53 years until I got yellow fever a month ago. 

Yes, I was behind by <gasp> flippant.

Like Bob, I moved to the US (for 23 years). Now I am back in the UK, but ill health and distance mean that I have to pick and choose the games I can attend. The last game I saw was vs Port Vale; I have my ticket for the Carlisle game! Btw, the first game I saw was in the old 3rd Division North, at the Baseball Ground, against Grimsby - we lost, 3-1 (they went up as Champions). We won the Division the next season!

You resemble more of a TB kind of guy.

I did it in the Osmaston Upper surrounded by West Ham, and C Stand surrounded by Chelsea. 
I didn't know I was in the away end. And apparently, neither did the stewards or anybody else for that matter.

As the majority of stadiums/arenas there are Live Nation venues it’s easier to rescind the ticket and resell/transfer to an account as LN own Ticketmaster. Can’t really do that here outside of top venues etc.
