popside ossie end popside

After all this time and effort, truth is I simply can't be arsed to change now... or even dream of changing!  Just plod on.  Hopefully my days will end before Derby's, so I end up a lifer!
After years of being an Ossie-Ender, and then a SE Corner-ite (When South Stand was still away fans), I'm now sat in the dull NE corner, and do you know what... I can't even be arsed to change my seat, so what chance of changing my club!  ?

It must have been hard, working in such a pressure cooker environment. 
How did you let off steam?

Full of Forests finest this time of year. There like the conquistadors taking their sickness out the to the Americas. Anthrax islands safer.   We can't risk any kind of contamination or mutation, we've only got a few players as it is.  The normal symptoms start by referring to yourself as some kind of kingdom or world famous and insisting your the worlds oldest club despite that being boll***s. 
This is quickly followed by an obsession with singing bad 70's songs and -mostly amongst men in there 40's- demanding a responsible adult makes you a placard that a 5 yr old would be embarrassed to have produced, then picks you up at 6 in the morning to drive you to Pride Park when no-ones around so you can hold it up.  Normally dressed in a tatty replica top from the days of Betamax,  and a pair of piss stained jeans borrowed from the lost and found for their day out.
The final stage of the affliction is an obsession with cupping their own players balls after a good performance and rabidly fighting over a cold pie in the concourse.
Skegness is out and if your resident I advise you leave till September.
 

Why cant they have one in the uk or day trips they can train and relax at the same time we need hit the ground running.

During the war

Those ouija boards are not to be messed with they are dangourse.

Now, I'm going off track but this was a seminal moment in my life:
 

Yeah i know they say sport and politics do not mix, sometimes they have to.  Some fans are just too thick, probably don't know it is happening, don't know where Ukraine is. Like you say, depressing at times to see fans who's only thoughts all week are football pub football pub football pub Mcd's Mcd's Mcd's

Welcome to the club Chelsea

Lol some of the 'women' were as bad as the fellas.  Group of us in car that night, kept in for an age, not sorry to be honest, like a war zone where we were parked, they fought with police for ages. . . . . . . . . we didnt stop for a jar ANYWHERE. Defo most intimidating place to go when they have a big game

If you think scenes will be like outside that night. . . . . . . . you were not there!!  Boro and Derby today,  pussycats compared to Millwalls knuckledraggers that night

I was.  Great fun wasn't it.  Coach drivers turning all the lights off and doing 40 in pedestrian areas to avoid old ladies throwing stones.  A lot of older boys were out of retirement that evening or it could have been much worse.  We actually held our own quite well that evening.

I'm really losing patience with a lot of the discourse around finance in football. Talking heads like Neville will blather on all day and night about regulations, tv money etc... but no one ever thinks to suggest that maybe, just maybe, footballers shouldn't be paid a normal year's salary in a month. Football clubs will continue to lose money year after year. Owners will continue to gamble. Fans will continue to worship players for "working hard". Fans will moan about the price of tickets, but also moan if their teams don't sign big name players.

I still maintain their away support would be one of the best, if not the best, in the country.

I think you are too young to make that statement....
In the 1980's they couldn't get anywhere near selling out OT for games because they hadn't won owt for many a year,  I think it was 1989 when we won 2-1, Goddard and Saunders, that there were about 35k in OT, at least 7k were Derby, the capacity was close to 50k due to terracing

Correct. It’s a couple of blokes in London making guesses and creating all the other 'lists' the Times does as well. In 1990 they estimated Robert Maxwell's fortune at £1.2 billion. Less than a year later he was dead and one of the largest debtors in history. 
Only Mel and his accountant will truly know how much he is worth. The Sunday Times rich list certainly won’t.

Good to see "Notts Forest" in the relegation zone ? 

One vivid recollection of that period as a 10 year old, was the woman who used to sell programs from the front window of a terraced house (walking towards the Normanton End). She had the loudest voice I've ever heard - "PROGRAMS"

Yep, mate who is a Leeds fan from there had one done at Skeggy  'Derbyshire Whits'   PLANK
