    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.

    I thought I read somewhere that the city council would not allow the land to be redeveloped for any other purpose?

    Re the Barnsley claim, here's an excellent quote from the Reading Forum which sums up an endearing and admirable faith in the EFL being a competent and even-handed moderator and custodian of the game.
    "Would imagine this is a bit of a fishing trip - don't see how this can be possible if we've been working with EFL on the business plan. They must've signed everything off."
    You'd like to think so eh ?
    I think this one sums up the consequences of the EFL's woeful handling of our situation'
    "This is what the Championship will turn into for the next few years now. Just clubs throwing cases to the EFL due to this, that and the other.

    Also, wasn't this a business model that was mutually agreed between both the club and the EFL? I don't really see where Barnsley's argument comes from other than, "they've got better facilities than what we have, let's put a claim in".

    Many clubs have been and are operating with business models that are not compatible with P&S rules, so we can't be the only ones they should be complaining about. Bristol City, Stoke and Middlesbrough should also be on that list as well."
    And these two from the Barnsley guys:
    "EFL have set a precedent by forcing Derby's admins to reach an agreement with Boro and Wycombe."
    "Is this is what it has come to that we have to just try and grass teams up to EFL to stay up."

    The EFL can reap what they sow from backing the Boro and Wycombe claims.

    It was printed at Northcliffe House on Albert Street.
    As several others have previously mentioned, it came out between 5.30 pm and 6.00 pm, which was about the time I arrived back in Derby after the match to pick up the 'Green 'Un', then boarding the No.59 from Tenant Street up to Breadsall Hill Top Estate.
    If the paper wasn't out, then I'd wait and then catch the Scarborough Rise bus, which I think went from the Bus Station(?).
    I remember the day Derby gained promotion in 1969 and a woman on the bus asked how had they got on, and I just showed the front page to her, which said - PROMOTION, which had took 16 years from to get back to the top division.

    Thanks but the bloody gales up here have knocked the electric out again so that's kyboshed everything. Would have been first time I had seen them live since 1999. Gutted.

    I’d rather see Derby play in the conference than give into these two bankers 
    The EFL are asking for trouble on the 12th Feb but it’s Derby that will get fined.
