But a pre-contract isn't a contract or he would be with them and not the Rams.

Not a quote about BC, but not longer after he arrived in Derby he played in a charity game at RR recreation ground. I live about 200 yards from there so popped down. Anyway, it was a typical charity game, no one trying to hard, until BC's team got a corner. The right winger (as he would be called then) wacked over a really hard,high ball, the other players just stood and watched. Not BC. He had started running as the corner was hit and I have never seen anyone jump that high to head a ball. It hit the crossbar and shot about 30 feet in the air before dropping behind the goal. The main thing though was the sound as he headed it. It was a loud crack, like a well hit cricket ball. There were other ex players on the pitch but only one was trying to win.

I do admire the fans groups but wonder how they think they represent the rank and file of supporters. Recently somewhere I red that bawt have a committee of 13 "founder members" not elected but founder members but they post that should Morris, the stadium owner, be involved they would decide what to do next. Not in my name they will not and I suspect not in thousands of others. Why do they think that they speak for anybody but themselves when they have not even bothered to ask others?

I can remember Chelsea getting gates of 10,000 or so and being one of the worst clubs in London. We were a much bigger club than them, and most others in the country for a number of years. At least I was there for the trophies and 35,000 average attendances. Being a sad old bar steward comes in handy sometimes.
