My dad always had apples for half-time - I still do that almost 70 years later. Even when I’m listening to Radio Derby  I have an apple at half-time!

Buxton game on radio Derby and on ramstv . How do we get our game?

Whatever happens now it’s been a hell of a ten quids worth!

Maybe no other bidders are declaring their interest in case they don’t win? Probably wouldn’t do much for their reputation.

That is a lot, I doubt as many would turn up to see me bend over in Lycra 

Don’t underestimate yourself, David!

Firstly thanks everyone who reacted to my post about going - I felt really supported by you.

It was so good to be back after 2years and never expected to get there. So many improvements round the ground - though I do miss taking my life in my hands crossing the road by ToysRus!

I really enjoyed the game even though the end was disappointing. I thought some of the play was excellent though the mistakes for their goals were difficult to take.

 Agree that footbridge is impressive. By the way @cosmici didn’t laugh much when I was the one who tripped up the step and broke my wrist!!

I haven’t been up that late let alone out for so long and I was shattered afterwards but, of course, I couldn’t get to sleep as I was still hyped up.

Feeling a bit fragile this morning but we’ll worth it. Can’t wait to go again some time!

Yay, I’m going to this!! After a brain haemorrhage and then lockdown I thought I’d never get to PP again. However, I’ve recovered really well over the summer, especially worked hard to improve physically and my partner is letting my son take me to the match - he’s much more worried than I am!

So, Rams, I’d appreciate a good performance and a win - though whatever happens I’ll feel like a winner just getting there.

I thought this was a thread on escaping!

I’m always slightly perturbed when @Bwash_Ram posts . It reminds me of my Great Aunt Alice who lived in Borrowash who terrified me as she was very proper and thought she was ‘ bettermost’ as my mother put it!

@angieramid hoped it was you when I first saw an Angie in the RT email! We certainly need your common sense and enthusiasm ??

There would be a few more sold if it were easier to gift a ticket. I’ll wait until Tuesday night and then buy tickets on my son’s and granddaughters’ numbers. Nobody will be in those seats , sadly, but it’s a bit extra for the club.

I have some vague recollection of the stadium being designated a ‘community asset’ so it can only be used to benefit the community?

I had been thinking about this, the only thing I can think of is, if someone genuinely can't afford to go, but wants to, give me a PM in strict confidence and I will pair you with someone who is in a position to gift you a ticket. 

How does that sound?

It's no guarantee, but it is someone off this community, 

 

That sounds ok @sage you are a longtime trusted poster so I would go with any recommendation from you.

I would willingly buy 2adult or 1 adult plus 2 child tickets to gift to someone who can’t afford it. But how do I find that person as I don’t want to give it to someone just taking advantage?

the only family I have left in the area can afford to pay for themselves when circumstances allow them to go!

I just need to state I don’t understand a lot of this but it seemed strange to me that all of this became known on Friday evening. Do all these people work every day or does that give the weekend for something to be sorted out before Monday morning. I think I may just be trying to persuade myself there could be hope!

What a ridiculous post. Everyone knows there are only two M’s in a game of scrabble.

Not if you play super scrabble on line!

Rams 2 - 1 Huddersfield

Sorry if it’s a dumb question but why is it called a panenka?

Sorry to hear you’ve been unwell ma’am. ?

Thank you, kind sir. Still recovering from a brain haemorrhage and now turned 80 means long journeys to Derby by myself are now off the menu,though my son and my stepson insist they’ll get me to PP again. My partner had hoped that having my brains scrambled might have helped me forget about the Rams - but I pointed out that it actually helped!

Born and brought up in Leicestershire. My dad lived in Shardlow til he was 7, then moved to Leics. and was only member of family to support Derby still. Took me to BBG when I was 10 in 1951. Am now 80 and still an avid supporter though after serious illness doubt if I’ll ever get to PP again. Have been to matches with my sons, my grandchildren and a great granddaughter! Think I’ve done my bit in providing future supporters for the Rams!

How are they going to keep count? A gold star on the forehead for each header?

We seem to be making a habit of our goalies becoming 3rd choice bench warmers at ‘big’ clubs.

I’m with Billy Connolly, we should have The Archers theme tune for a national anthem.

I wouldn’t dream of saying to my wife let me have a go at that ironing, washing-up or hoovering, so personally I think it a bloody nerve that women seem to be muscling in on the playing of, and commentating on, football.

 

Death wish?

If Alonso doesn't buy the club, that's me done. I'm off to support Forest and Leeds.

Wouldn’t throwing yourself under a bus be a preferable option?
