Just stumbled across the whole game on YouTube, not sure how many else have found it on there but it was a great watch. I only found clicked on it as it was the game played closest to the day I was born.
What struck me while watching it were the comments from the late, great Brian Clough. During pre-match he talks about how being at Derby were the happiest days of his managerial career, and after the game he talked about sitting with the Spurs fans and that they had enjoyed a great game of football "despite the fact that I'm a Derby man" -- all said why manager of Forest..! Also quite topical as Maxwell had at the time turned down a bid of £3 million for us (only about £6.5 mil today).
I'm sure a few have seen this, but now the nights are drawing in and Strictly's back on the box it's a good getaway game.

Being from Snottingham your aunty probably has got a pair of baalocks.

Thats the point isnt it
we are Derby County…. We literally have a whole county to ourselves hence when the times are good 40k plus don their scarves and rock up at wembley 
 

Are you aware that Chad, Littleover, & Alvaston are included in the Derby city  population figures? They’re all within the city boundary…..

Exactly this. We were comfortably the highest gate last night by at least 5,000. To be touching 19,000 for a Wednesday night against Reading was fantastic, especially given circumstances.

If we carry on fighting as they have done for the last 5 or 6 matches in particular, coupled with the administrators who are expert negotiaters we can hope. It is better to travel in hope , with our team's efforts, than to stay at home, give up and not support them. We the 12th men (or persons) are playing our part as well

Forever hopeful that we can scrap our way out of this.
1- we’ve eroded the -12 points already
2- we are hard to beat and well organised (it appears)
3- several other teams could well be compounded with some level of points deductions too
4- we have the best midfielder outside the Premier league due to return to our ranks by January ????
5- king CKR is due back in to the squad
6- if we get new owners before January then just maybe we can make a few additions ????
7- our fans are standing up to be counted and as a whole we are unified against everyone else (good old siege mentality) ??????
 
8- we have FORTRESS Pride Park
9- we have something to fight for
10- WE ARE DCFC NOW LETS HAVE IT ??????
if we do manage to pull this off then someone should make a film about it.

We had the second highest gate of the midweek games, 600 behind Boro who were playing Sheff U. If the away teams had been reversed with us playing Blades we would have had over 20k. Though the gate looks disappointing, put into context it was actually very good.

I am leaving work early from the land of the Gumps (Strelley) so that I can get a few hours in the Alex. Haven't been to a game in a while so really looking forward to it. I think it's already been said by Lawrence up front for me -- got a feeling it's going to be one of his nights tonight.

I genuinely believe we will get new owners, that many of the woes of daft salaries and unsustainable finances will, to a certain extent be reset. I also know we will go down, but I’ll be shouting for the team at every home game. We can ride that, they still play football worth watching in league 1 and we can come back. 
My huge huge fear is a second major deduction … so we end up in league one, on minus points with quality players leaving, the guts ripped out of us and the smell of death hanging over us. why would they stay, why would anyone want to join ? The after shocks would just go on. 

For those asking who we lease Moor Farm from, I've pasted this from the charge details on Companies House.

It is in Erewash and I believe I saw something the other day saying we leased the land off the Locko Estate (somebody might confirm that?).
