The ECB hard on for "getting rid of the small counties. After all, we don't need them"

I can visualise them at a 'brainstorming' session all sat round a table in some exclusive London pad.

Clueless, much like most UK leaders/managers in every sense of the word.

What brought about 'The 100' apart from some wise-guy marketing merchant? I really don't get it one bit?

When I collected my Morecambe and Lincoln tickets, I told them about all the problems we've had every game with the ticketing system. He seemed very surprised, as if no one else was reporting this.

Took my details but I'm not expecting to hear back from anyone.

Keep reporting it as we've got to make a noise if we want it changing! 

That's like when you take your new car back when it goes wrong, only for the service manager to say 'It's the first time we've had that problem'. A quick Google search then shows everyone else with a FoGMVW MkIII Fiestra has the same problem.

I prefer watching and supporting Derby County FC.

They will, over the years, appear in different levels of the football pyramid. Health and wealth allowing, I will be there to support my team whatever division they happen to be in.

Last season was a great example of how football is more than league positions and stats. The atmosphere was unreal, the togetherness of players and fans under horrendous circumstances have left me with great memories. The euphoria of last minute winners, the never say die attitude of all of us, on and off the pitch, Wayne Rooney's leadership, an absolutely brilliant season as regards being at the games witnessing first hand the unbelievable emotions.

The march from the Market Square to the Ground and the last minute winner by Bielek v Birmingham, days like that are up there with watching Archie, Roy Mac, Toddy and Zak being part of the best team in the land all those years ago for sheer emotion and love of our great club.

Blackpool when we were already relegated, what a weekend, superb, Derby fans at their very best.

So, to answer your question, both. The fans were absolutely brilliant in the prem 15 years ago and probably even better last season. Looks like the same this season as well.

Watching football live, at the match, is not about what anyone else thinks, its about your own experiences on the day.

I'm loving it, COYR ?

Pedant mode on:

Bielik equalised, it ended-up 2-2.

Funny you should say this, I’m in the east stand normally but sat to the side of the police bit lat night, the seats seemed closer together?

I can’t believe they are, but it felt very different.

Have you put on some weight over the bank holiday?

They're so thick they'll be claiming that as a moral victory.

They already are, no joke. Priceless. ?

Think they should open up the South Stand as well to allow the standyuppers to go in there, and the sittydowners to stay in the East Stand. I know it means a few more stewards but would make it much easier.

Just total enforcement of the 'no standing' rule, and rail seats in the SS, job sorted.

Liverpool away will be on TV which is expected and just shy of 6k tickets available max price of £18

Do you have confirmation it will be televised?

Except when they play Derby. Our defeat to them at home about 2017 time (think it was 3-1?) broke a streak of something like 60 of their FA Cup games that were on TV in a row.

Was a Friday night and clashed with Eastenders

It’s a cheap alternative which we have lots or reserve, a few mini tremors maybe but can’t think of anything else that could help NOW

It’s like burning your floorboards to keep warm.

Just now, TexasRam said:

Earth tremors ? they’ve been doing it in South Texas for years and zero issues……

Aye, all those mini earthquakes are in peoples imagination, as the body responsible for reporting them says so. Nothing to see here, move along.

Nothing has so far with it in other countries has it ????

is a solution we have right now to help with the energy cost issues. Green or nuclear energy is the way forward but it won’t resolve the issue today. Fracking is a available now, we are pretty arrogant and ignorant to just walk away from it. 
 

if we don’t do something NOW disaster is around the corner and I don’t just mean your household bills, companies and businesses all over the UK will close impacting the problem. But hey let’s ignore a source of energy we have under our own feet, 

Well this lot in Westminster are allowing uncontrolled pumping of raw sewage into watercourses, so I guess a few more unspecified chemicals entering the water system won’t make much difference?

Best idea would be to divert the £350,000,000 a week destined for the NHS into subsidising peoples energy bills……………

100% we need to start fracking, cheap accessible energy under our feet. Absolutely no decent argument against it

Never leave early too much often happens from 85 onwards. Plus I like to applaud the players off win or lose. On that note a word for Stearman such a wholehearted player and whilst he can lack a little finesse rarely puts a foot wrong. He always comes round to applaud the fans at the end ??? I thought he was excellent again yesterday.

Alright Rich

Wasn’t there yesterday but I admit to leaving Shrewsbury early as I knew we wouldn’t score*. ?
 

*that’s a fib, it was to catch the last train.

Last para sums that up. Went all dizzy when we equalised. What an end. Just debating whether to go down a1 home instead of m1 to feel smug

Go the full hog and use the A6.

This draw alone shows why we should always take cup games seriously.

Cocu was well out of order when we went to the kennel in this cup.

I don’t know if it still applies but a few years ago at Man Utd season ticket holders had to commit to buying tickets for every game, including champions league and domestic cup games, so they couldn’t charge less for the away fans.

I was my understanding that at the time that there was an agreement in place amongst Premiership clubs not to charge more than £30 to away fans for league games? So they took the liberty to rip us off.

I've always hated Utd anyway. FFS we even let them take McClaren without compensation, how stupid was that?

Assuming this rule was in place the last time we went to OT, who at Derby agreed to them fleecing us? I always knew that MM bloke was a wrong'un.

But it’s profiteering in its worst form. They know there are generations of Derby fans who’d give their right arm to go and see us at a ‘big’ Prem ground.

For what its worth, despite Old Trafford being almost local to me, I refused to pay the stupid cost last time and watched it on TV.
