I know, but i hadnt got a mobile then and they still havnt got my mobile number  because im still on a landline as well.

They didnt bother with fan ID when i first got my season ticket and when we moved to Pride Park. They have got all  my details other than that, never really felt the need to give it them. Used to contact us by phone years ago, especially if you were late renewing, asking why not renewing🤣

Dear Derby County.
Could you please advise whether there is a planned lap of honour by the club's players, management, and staff following the final whistle of the game v Carlisle.
It's just that, if this isn't planned, I can shoot off straight away, and be home for tea, before you can say "Meh, well that was a pleasant enough afternoon, I guess".
However, should this be planned... and executed unhindered... I would be more than happy to stay behind, with I guess 99% of the fans, and applaud all those involved in giving us a wonderful season to remember, showering them all with gratitude and congratulations in equal measure, before partying later in the evening.
If you could get back to me it would be most appreciated, as I'll need to know what time Muckerette needs to put the half-baked baguettes in the oven.
Yours sincerely,
Nobody important.
 

I have thought this morning a pitch invasion will probably deny Warne from starting the bounce which he said he will only do once we're promoted

So you’re not bothered about the majority of fans who choose not to (or aren’t able to) go on the pitch being able to show their appreciation one last time from the stands? You’re not bothered about the players showing their appreciation to the fans by parading around the pitch with their families? 
 
I don’t have a problem seeing other Derby fans celebrating but I’d quite like the opportunity to applaud the players, and receive their applause in return (yes, I’m convinced they’re aimed specifically at me 😀) one last time before I put my scarf away for the summer. Nothing sad about that. I fact I think it’s a bit sad that some folk don’t care about the majority of their fellow fans or what the players might want. 
 

The minority stumbling and cavorting around the pitch is ("Will be") an inconvenience to the majority.
If you want to go on the pitch fine, but it's sad if you spoil the fun for the majority, and spoil the plans currently being mooted by the club as a whole, the players, the staff, the club hierarchy, and their families.
By staying in the stands, you, me, and all of us will enjoy celebrating... together.

And all the kids waiting in the stands to see their team to walk round the pitch, do they not count?

You give your game away, its just self-indulgent nonsense. As a supporter since since 1960 and having seen the best and worst of times  I have never felt the need or desire to go on the pitch. As has been said, allowing the players a lap of honour allows all fans to show their appreciation

Although I imagine that the club wouldn't admit this publicly, I strongly suspect that when citing Health and Safety, it's not "we" they are thinking about.  The safety of two lots of players, two lots of club officials, and a gang of match officials, on the other hand...
 
Not everyone on the pitch will behave like "an adult"!  Sadly!

I’d rather the players were allowed to come onto the pitch to celebrate but that’s never going to happen if everyone invades the pitch. 
so you run like an idiot onto the pitch. Then what? 

Indeed... and a lot of us who would like to share the celebration with the players and club staff (And particularly a certain Mr Clowes, I'd imagine)... which usually comes in the form of a "Lap of honour"... which have been known to suffer a last minute cancellation in the past, due to too many (unauthorised) folk meandering about on the pitch!
Whatever transpires, I strongly suspect that the old adage about not being able to please everyone will get a passing mention.

I think the idea is that they'll be online/through NowTV/SkyQ and I think it is going to include L1/L2 games.
What will probably happen is that currently at Saturday lunchtime there is a choice of either premier league on TNT or 1 championship game on sky. What'll happen is that you'll be left for a choice of a premier league game on TNT or a choice of a few EFL games on at lunchtime and there will be a few on in the evening. I believe this will be incredibly unpopular. Don't understand why they don't just leave the games on at 3PM and let you watch them on TV. It's evident so many people watch the games through other means at 3PM so why not just show them? I think people go out to the games for a day out and the atmosphere not because they can't watch them on TV.

Especially if it's one of them red notes!

That bold bit is where the problem lies, imo.

I envisage the majority of the attendance (22k+) will scuttle off home having not had the chance to thank/congratulate/celebrate with the people that matter... players and staff.
Shame really... but utterly not unexpected.  

Celebrations, eh? Well, I know how to party!
I'll make a bold step from my armchair to the fridge and get my non-alcoholic beer.
If I totally lose it, I'll clap on my way. Quietly though, so I won't cause any distress to my neighbours.
 

I don't get it. Even when I was younger I didnt ..eg at the Southampton semi. 
What's the point,  you can't see anything and all the players scatter. Just stay near your seats or congregate near the front of the stand and clap the players and staff ie those who have done it. Getting on the pitch seems a weird desire.
Just head into town and civilly get p*ssed with your mates. Seems a bit entitled... 'why can't I run on the pitch and sorta intimidate the opposition'. Generally starts off fairly good natured but has a good chance of going south in some way.
Mainly though, the players can't celebrate properly together or with their families etc because fans want to swamp the pitch.  Do it after the celebratory lap and the players have gone if it matters that much to you.

By the time I have negotiated three flights of stairs, countless doors and stewards to get on the pitch to celebrate it will be August! Sod it! I may try .....or I may not!

My dad, who was a wood machinist in his early working life, made me a seat that slotted into the wall at head height in the old stand before they built the Ley Stand. Bloody Brian Clough bringing success soon buggered that up!

Good luck with offering ten bob!

Would be handy if you could do that at Cambridge tomorrow 

And the four cup vouchers at the back.
