I think you give people too much credit, it might be obvious to you but im sure some people must be capable of getting lost in their own back garden. With the diminishing amount of common sense in our population i could see it being utter carnage without these hero car park marshalls pointing them in the right direction.

I have two reasons for going to watch Derby, firstly im a Derby fan but secondly its the time i get to spend with my Dad, hes been making noises about not renewing anyway, he doesnt like whats involved with getting away as its so busy, so its crossed my mind that ill take him to some non league games just to spend that time and have a beer after like we used to. I guess id do that if the club folded, i cant imagine just switching to another club, i guess that might build up over time
I think you are right there would be a Derby County of some description, no doubt would be a wild ride watching them from non league, i am quite envious of clubs like afc wimbledon, when they got in to the league it must have been such a fantastic moment for their fans.

at least b4 could get in the dressing like he always wanted 

Hopefully if we ever do become a fan owned group, that group of fans can find their way to agree on matters better than we do on this forum. ?

Just honesty and transparency. Its really not that hard. There will be time for apologies but for now we should just be wanting to know what the hell is going on! 

Nothing less than an apology followed by a public flogging will do ?

As long as its not a game against non league AFC Derby

My nephew played for Cleethorpes town, went to Wembley to watch them in the 2017 FA vase final against South Shields with Julio Arca playing for them. If Derby wasn’t playing on the Saturday I would go and watch them home or away with the Clee ultras, proper supporters. ( they really are a thing)

Had my jab at the arena today.
Say what you want about how we've handled the pandemic overall, but our vaccination program has been superbly organised.
Couldn't walk 5 steps without a marshall pointing me in the right direction and I was in and out in a flash.

that is the question,  why?

Made a lot of money for breast cancer charity mate. That’s a good thing.

as do I, while ultimately its not worked and he has to take responsibility for that,  I don't believe he has ever made a decision that he didn't think were in the best interests of the club.
this is my biggest concern right now that his hand is forced and we end up with a 3 amigos situation,  who clearly made decisions the were in their own interests,  not the clubs.

Yep, as a fan its easy for me to have a non finance based decision making process, im sure if i had been Mel i would have done the same.

There is certainly plenty of options. A guy i worked with was a die hard forest fan but he moved to Northwich in Cheshire and started going to watch them and really got into it, it didnt stop him being a forest fan, i dont think it means you are being 'unfaithful' if thats the right word lol.
I am actually considering going to watch Cleethorpes Town when they play around here, if i dont get a season ticket again, they will have a few fixtures that would be reasonably local to us round here, for no other reason than i used to work with their current manager so i look out for their results anyway.

Quoted both posts because I think you're both correct. Lawrence was the "problem". Writing off £5 million (DCFC book value ?) was simply out of the question. I personally think that the right decision was taken, and even though we may end up paying his wages in full, any saving would have come in more than useful.

I am sure they feel very conflicted!  
AFC Wimbledon’s rise was fantastic - but are they the same club which won that FA Cup etc?  It doesn’t REALLY matter - or does it? Hard to say!

Love this! ? 
I recently moved to Abingdon and have considered taking in some of the delights of non-League football round here. I was shocked to discover recently that Abingdon Town FC were established in 1870! 

Democracy based voting, might be less whinging from the stands if they had a say...or more ha.

Ultimately if he had any class whatsoever, he would have walked away.
He was the club captain, and jumped into a car pissed up, knowing the young, inexperienced drivers were also three sheets to the wind. To try and claw back money at such a time for club, when you're in financial trouble, shows he doesn't really care. 
The issue is you sacked him but not Bennett and Lawrence - who ultimately were the real culprits. All three should have gone. 

To add to that,
I was going to say .. wasn’t it well documented a few years ago that we were debt free and only owed the mortgage on the stadium
