Like many by the sounds of it, me and a couple of mates are going to Cambridge without tickets so if anyone can't return any unwanted tickets to the ticket office, I'll happily meet up with you somewhere to buy it or them off of you.

Ok, will do

Yeah, three of us will be there tickets or not, on the waiting list at Derby and for hospitality at Cambridge - sadly not expecting to hear from either so think we'll be in a pub watching it on an iPad as no luck getting tickets in with the Cambridge fans either 🙁

If I was there today I'd definitely go to the Staggeringly Good brewery and I'd recommend it to anyone who likes real ales. I've had a couple of their beers recently and they've been beautiful - it's not far from the ground so it's quite a way from the Dolphin, think it'd be worth the effort though. Sadly it's closed on Tuesday and Wednesday when I'm there.

Clearly it's a slow day for me 😂 After a quick count and including Wembley, I think I've seen Derby play at 120 grounds and bearing in mind I've seen them at 104 club grounds, 105 with Wembley, that's only 15 times I've seen us play away at the new ground of another club which I don't think is that many so I'm sure that there's someone out there who has done more (Mick Derby for definite) and congratulations to them, well done. Maybe that's the type of away ground I should start to target next as on top of the 5 I've not been to, I think there's 14 clubs that now play at grounds I've not seen us play at. 🤔

Now there's a way to pass some time on a quiet day - I might have a count later depending on how the day goes.

I must admit I am jealous of those who went to Crawley as I think it's the only one of my remaining five that I could have previously ticked off - sadly I was on holiday so couldn't go.

Someday I'd love to be able to say that I've seen Derby play at all of the current 92 but assuming we go up this season I think it's unlikely being as it'll be reliant on pre season away friendlies, away cup draws or some team having a meteoric rise (Wrexham maybe?). The other option is being relegated to League 2 for financial irregularities but even though I selfishly joke about it to my mates, I'd rather that not happen. I know I could just go to my remaining 5 to watch a non Derby County match but that doesn't interest me as I want to have seen Derby at them all - that's just me and my ambition though and if others want to do all 92 irrespective of who's playing, that's fine by me and I'll congratulate them if they do it as that'll be one of their ambitions achieved.

Yep I've been to Chesterfield so just hoping for a late charge by Oldham or Southend to take me up to 88 - unlikely I think though.

I've seen Derby play at 87 of the current 92 - the 5 I've not been to are Barrow, Crawley, Harrogate, Sutton and Wrexham. I've also seen us play at 17 grounds outside of the top four divisions. Ideally, I'm hoping that Sutton go down and that the two teams that get promoted from the National League are places I've already been to so then I'd end the season on 88 🤞

Don't you mean he's A turkey 😂

I've not tried that but might give it a go now when I'm next there in a couple of weeks.

I went to Mount Everest a few weeks and loved it, food and staff were excellent and I enjoyed it much more than when I've been to the more expensive restaurants nearby - I'd definitely recommend it to anyone.

Doombar is what not to like - how Coors can be allowed to change the recipe and percentage and take it from a lovely beer to the slop it is now without being made to change its name should be against the trade descriptions act - think I'd rather pay £2 not to have it to be honest - carry on everyone, rant over 😂

Thanks for that, felt sure it must've been a mistake.
