I think Lee Morris finest hour was scoring against the red dogs for Yeovil in the playoffs ?

It’s quite simple, just get promoted 

Not everyone was in the DLF or intentionally looking for trouble! I mentioned Bradford simply because it was a very scary experience being on the receiving end of chunks of concrete raining down with no cover, not glorifying in throwing them back. Football in the 70s and 80s was in a very different place and situations like this on away days were almost unavoidable. If you wanted to follow your team home and away every week you knew what to expect, knew the risks and took your chance. The only safe option was to stay at home and for many of us this was simply not an option, the adrenaline rush was part of the day

No it was lager? the thing is I was talking to him and my wife didn’t know who he was and just assumed he was another Derby fan, when he offered to buy us a drink she politely refused , then when Mel was at the bar I told her she had just refused a drink from a multi millionaire and she changed her mind .
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

I was there that day , went down on the train with my mate. We had a few drinks in the pub and it was all good natured with the hammers fans and then a good result for Derby but as you said it was afterwards that it all kicked off. As we came down the steps we were met with a hail of bottles and bricks thrown at us. In the carnage that ensued I got split up from my mate ( no mobiles then)and had to catch the tube back to the station on my own crammed in with loads of WH fans trying not to make eye contact with anyone so I didn’t have to speak and give my accent away. It was such a relief to find him at the station and get back on train home. Good day out though ?
 

Don't stand at the bar naked then.

Just got back to the hotel in York and asked them to put the game on in the bar. Seems a long time ago I started this thread and startled a few people ?

No just auditioning 

Compared to Villa, Bournemouth, Leicester, QPR, Wolves and co, yes we bloody have! In case you're unaware, the only charge upheld against the club thus far relates to our use of ERV amortisation versus straight line, a crime so heinous that it is not even cited in the EFL's own regs and even then, only in reference to the manner in said policy was described in our accounts. I'd venture that's pretty feckin irregular, though doubtless you can provide ample evidence to show otherwise?
As things stand, we've endured nearly 24 months of on-off embargos and the EFL are still apparently seeking a significant points deduction as the cherry on the cake (and all this in defiance of the findings of two IDC panels) yet by your reckoning, the piss-taking is exclusively the province of Mel and the club! How the feck does that work then?
Astounds me that so many so-called fans are quite happy to get the pitchforks out for Morris whilst copping a massive blind one to the fact that we have a collective of port-slurping, old school tie bankers with no clue what they are doing, lining their pockets as they sell out the very member clubs whose interests they purport to serve.

Did you check you bar tab afterwards to make sure he didn't put it on your room 

He's a generous bloke, £1.2m for a robotic surgeon to Derby Hospital that helps the city, saved lives and pumped millions into the football club.
People can dissect his running of the club and they will, but honestly having talked to him on many occasions, he's a decent guy that does care.
I would receive calls just to check up how I was doing during my bad days with anxiety. Was hard to read that he was going through his own health issues.
I'll get hammered for this post but I'm gutted for the guy with how this is ending. Always will.
Won't ever feel comfortable reading people laying into him as a man, but accept that others haven't been as lucky I have to have been able to see that side of him.

To be fair there was that many on there I wouldn’t have noticed. We were in the Marriott Royal after we had transferred from the Swansea Marriott where the players had stayed, I expected the players would be staying at the Bristol Marriott as they did the previous year when Lampard was in charge. We were sat in the bar a couple of hours before the game and Mel walked in on his own and sat at the table next to us. This was pretty much at the start of our troubles with the Efl and I asked him if there was any update and his words were there are pages and pages of paperwork to go through. I don’t expect either of us expected it to go on this long, then I thought he bought us a drink but Tyler has put a doubt in my mind 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

What did the husband spot in the picture, I really need to know and I really need to know now

How can the same news cause such differing opinions. We have literally got people saying we’re bang to rights take our medicine and move on to those who believe we’ve done nothing wrong and should not accept any punishment whatsoever.
What we have is people making up their own minds based on a hunch. We have no facts here but the speculation is polarising opinion.
The Club must come out with something tangible to explain everything from ticket sales to transfer embargo.
The Club’s reputation amongst fans is in the bin and only the Club can change that.
Do something about it DCFC!

1 Confirmation that they have met the sanction imposed by the IDC. IE Fine paid and revised accounts submitted
2 Whether a timescale for response from the EFL has been agreed, if so approx dates.
3 Are any steps being taken to resolve other current EFL sanctions ie HMRC and transfer instalments OR are these reliant on takeover completion.
 
Some reasonable and possible bits of info

Half fan?

it will all come out in the wash,,,in the meantime i shall enjoy the good football we are playing
