Steve Buckley’s Dog

We always used to go straight from work after a night shift on a Saturday morning, have a few beers and smash a few golf balls around have a great laugh, then go home, shower and go to the game... happy days..
(signed the petition)

Also done...

I recall specifically changing the pre-filled location (Showed Nott***ham and the first half of an NG postcode!  I felt soiled! ?).  I presume this was my laptop making out it knew my location?  ?‍♂️
Anyway, just done it again, this time using work email & postcode (Derby again, obvs).
 
?

Quick update that has been posted on the petition site.
The council are apparently refusing to count any signatures on the petition unless you put your postcode. They will only count signatures from Derby but apparently if you have put Derby as where you live that isn’t quite good enough for them so they are not counting these. Apparently for them to consider debating it they have to have a certain number of people from Derby signing the petition -  but only if you put your postcode.
 
Sounds to me like they are trying everything to avoid discussing this which obviously raises more suspicions but there you go. The whole thing seems to have been done quietly whilst we are all locked away. Poor in my view.
 
I realise saving the money would free up some more cash for further giant rings to be placed randomly in the city centre but something of this nature is so important, especially in a time such as this.
so, I urge you all to re-sign and remember your postcode! And share with your friends (with a Derby postcode).

I find it a little difficult to believe that he hasn’t got an agent. The murky world of academy football and under the table offers to children and their families starts well before the age of 16. Transfer values are attached and agents ‘advise’, even those whose chances of making it are slim. Internal politics and favourites exist whilst offers are made to circumnavigate rules about distances from training grounds. Money talks. It is all about commodities and risk for bigger clubs, like Man City for example. What to do for the best must be extremely hard for the children and their families. 
 

Already signed...?

Signed, used to play there with my Dad. Couldn't believe it was a Municipal Course especially after savouring the delights of Sinfin and kids running off with your golf balls only to try and sell them back to you a few holes later. 

Thanks all, it is a beautiful course. Played twice with my lad in the last few days of it being open, including into near darkness on New Years Eve. Didn’t think about anything else, didn’t even worry about my wayward shots-just enjoyed the beautiful course and being with my lad and thought about the many afternoons I had spent with my dad and his mates when I was growing up. 
 
Feel free to pass the details on to your friends. The more the merrier, it gives a faint glimmer of hope in these thoroughly miserable times. And I agree, these ‘mind spaces’ are going to be so so important going forwards. Doing all of this through COVID as well seems a little too convenient to me.
Anyway, thanks to all those who have signed.

I haven't found the time to drag my clubs out for probably 3 years now, but when I did, and due to my skill levels(!), the likes of Sinfin and Allestree were right up there as the most likely destination.
Consider me another signature added.  ?
 

Signed that.
All things cost money but these open spaces for a bit of mind space will be essential going forward.
 

I love this course. Played many times with an older friend who passed away last year. Signed

Me and the wife have signed it 

I've signed. I played there quite a few times many years ago when I first started "playing". Considering it was a municipal course it was excellent. It also appeared in a golf magazine as one of the 20 best municipal courses in Britain.

I think I might have misinterpreted that in a Brookside/Trevor Jordache kind of way.
 

Just got back from a lovely walk and seen this incident. What a terrible decision from the goalkeeper and referee. Agree with Lineker. Isn’t this what VAR is mean to prevent? Exactly the kind of decision we would get given against us. I look forward to Dyche’s gruff and perplexed voice later on.

Totally agree. I think we have two better left backs on our books than him.
Always liable to get done on the back post and his concentration in these situations is poor. I think Buchanan struggles a bit in these situations also but am confident that he will learn and he is a good few years younger.
I know a Sheff Utd fan and he is less than impressed. Still, he got his move so good luck to him.
 

Currently working on future Booker Prize winner, Stern John: My Pride Park Years.
Not actually interviewed him, just 300 pages of what he probably thought.

If you can get Warren Barton, Claude Davis, Eddie Lewis and Stern John to sign it then I’m in. 

Not a chance. I am truly after the cream here so want Dean Holdsworth as well now, surely, along with Hector and possibly Bloomer, the greatest centre forward to have ever played for us. Magical memories. I hope he gets his own chapter in your book.
