Lionel Messi decides to sign for Derby, he goes into the changing room to find all his team mates looking a bit glum.

"What's up?" He asks. "Well, we're having trouble getting motivated for this game. We know it's important but it's only Huddersfield. They're poo and we can't be bothered".

Messi looks at them and says "Well I reckon I can beat them by myself, you lads go down the pub." So Messi goes out to play Huddersfield by himself and the rest of the Derby team go off for a few beers.

After a few pints they wonder how the game is going, so they get the landlord to put the TV on. A big cheer goes up as the screen shows "Derby 1 (Messi 10 minutes) – Huddersfield 0 He is beating Huddersfield all by himself! Anyway, a few more beers later and the game is forgotten until someone remembers "It must be full time now, let's see how he got on" They put the TV on. "Result Derby 1 (Messi 10 minutes) – Huddersfield 1 (Holmes 89 minutes).

They can't believe it, he has single handed got a draw against Huddersfield! They rush back to the Stadium to congratulate him. They find him in the dressing room, still in his gear, sat with his head in his hands. He refuses to look at them. "I've let you down I've let you down" "Don't be stupid Lionel, you got a draw against Huddersfield all by yourself. And they only scored at the very very end!" Messi says "No, No, I have, I've let you down!. I got sent off after 12 minutes!"

Ridiculous..but amusing ?

I actually think considering all that’s happening to Derby that’s putting people off, the economic impact of the pandemic on some people, the fact some people won’t want to be in big crowds, and people like myself who are away cause it’s august (I myself know 5 others who would be going today but are on holiday or elsewhere) …. Considering all that, I think over 20k is good going. 

[dcfcreece1601]

Nearly every other team that is going through all that you mentioned other than the behind the scenes drama have sold out , so no excuse really ?‍♂️ I'm going and will be cheering them on no matter the score

I won't lie, a mate sent it me with Swansea and Cardiff as the two teams, but it made me chuckle.

Tell you what, all things considered, it wouldn’t surprise me if 20 thousand is one of the better attendances today. Luton Preston QPR and Blackburn are all at home today and I’ll be surprised if any of them top it. Maybe Sheffield United might but that’ll be about it.

If Derby get an attendance of @20k, then that will be brilliant in the circumstances, with many supporters not knowing what position the club is in, Re: finances (HMRC & FFP), player transfers, possible points deductions, takeover.

I personally know of five people who are not going today, for one reason or another, and another three who are not renewing their season tickets, if and when, they become available.

I can remember a first-game of the season attendance at the BBG was @15,000, which was looked upon as very good.

Some fans have nothing else to do but moan.

COYR's, let's get off to a flyer with some goals, a win and 3 points on the board.

Considering the circumstances, that's not bad. If we start winning a few games, we sign players and season tickets become available, I expect us to return to our usual attendance of at least 25,000

Got to say, lots of empty seats last night, holidays have an impact on season ticket holders, I did think Bournemouth had a capacity of 12k and there was 11k ish there last night

Considering the ticket office is actually not open, it is not horrendous. There are 4 staff running the whole behind the scenes set up atm too.

Mel will be flipping burgers and Roger Davies pulling pints on the concourse soon.

Give the boys a cheer for me please. I've got a ticket but can't now make it (my twin sister is also having to cancel going to Wembley to see Leicester) as our 87 year old mum has been taken seriously ill.

Attending the Babbington Arms before the game hoping for couple of Falstaff beers then onto the match. Just glad to have the opportunity to attend a game COYR.
