Purely down to economics - we can both go to that and park the car for the price of one of us going to watch DCFC today. Half (century) fan.

Ruud Aralliss Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Usually arise about 10.00 then pace up and down the front room looking at the clock till about 12.00. My lad will roll out of bed 10 mins before we leave as my pacing becomes a canter of nerves! Only respite is re-reading match day thread. Leave about 13.30 quick medicinal tramp juice at the ground Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThePrisoner Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Leave about half 1 by foot, nice leisurely walk down the river and arrive at 2. A quick pint in concourse then watch them all sky the balls into the south stand during warm up. Can’t wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DesertRam Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Get back from work about 10pm Friday evening, get a coffee, straight on the computer. Look at NewsNow Derby County, what's happening with injuries etc. have we bought anyone yet. Can feel the tension starting to rise,listen to the match press conference. GR looking confident. Everyone's saying that Wolves are the dark horses, spent millions, beat Boro - the bookies favs. We need to get more than 1 point from the first 2 matches, that's it, we have to win! 11.30 pm now, and the game starts in 7.5 hours. Get into bed, try not to wake the dragon. Wake up, its 1.45 am need to pee, wake up again, 3.30, have another pee, christ! Unable to go back to sleep, 3 hours to kick off. Sod it, that's close enough. Go for a swim. The water temp is 88"c, more like a bath, exactly the same as outside temp, 88 and its pitch black except for the stars. Get a coffee, back on the computer, re-read stuff from earlier. 5.45am better wake the Mrs, she's working today and has to leave at 6.45. Put rattle within reach - in case we score. That's it, listen to build up on Radio Derby - I can now watch the match live, thank's to MM. So everything different now - 200% better, turning it on now.
