Yep memory loss The Dev is more of a restaurant, We moved in there when the Rifleman shut, But getting a table was a pain, So used outside...in winter 🥶 Then moved onto the Railway on Kings St They've done a very good job of the decor, And yes...only snacks...ie cheese board, Bowls of chips n the like Reggie Greenwood and Crewton 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My next door neighbours on Cherry tree avenue were called Roper. Phil I seem to remember. Could be a relative maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MackworthRamIsGod Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 3 hours ago, old tray boy said: The Club have issued a statement regarding the possibility of criminal proceedings to any fans who encroach onto the pitch after final game .Should we gain promotion and get out of this awful League 1 after all of the ups and downs over the last few years l would have thought a simple gesture of letting the long suffering supporters celebrate and applaud the players is perfectly acceptable .Pompey fans assembled on the pitch last week after promotion was gained and created a fantastic spectacle.Why are Rams fans denied the opportunity after all it was common practice even in the great Clough era.The Club cites H&S worries and seems to forget that we are adults and do not need wrapping in cotton wool thank you very much.As a Club we have had little to celebrate in recent years ,Powers that be chill and let the supporters celebrate and thank the players in the time honoured way. I'm happy to risk criminal proceedings. A slight tone deaf statement given all the crap the fans have endured. Would be fitting for the kids to celebrate on the pitch. We might help flatten down the grass too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Chester40, sage, Carnero and 4 others 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ain't nobody gonna be seeing any form of a trophy being lifted at Pride Park Stadium within the next 12 months at the very least... unless we get our hands back on the BCT next season! Why not? The club has a loud enough PA system to get messages across to the fans. Also the LED boards… Teams who finish second in League 1 get a ‘promotion trophy’.

A/ They also have a website, X Accounts, and access to media to advise BEFOREHAND, not to do it in the first place, and yet there are enough hints on the internet to suggest it's highly likely to be ignored.

A promotion is long overdue 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.
