  1. Russell Martin was there.
  2. One thing that stuck with me many years ago when I was a child, was an old guy saying that when anyone in authority tells you that their doing something to help, it's the total opposite. All this DNA spray stuff - Someone somewhere will be making a lot of money. Follow the trail and it all leads to the kind of troughs that the 'average Joe' isn't getting anywhere near. Tough old fashioned policing that deals with idiots hell bent on causing trouble doesn't make the money though...
  3. Mounted horses, six foot tall coppers with size 12 feet and truncheons used to do the job.
  4. Borson worked at Man City between 2002-2007. Seven years at Investec and also had roles of Chief Executive Officer (Redbus Media Group) to Corporate Development & Investment Director (Clerkenwell Ventures plc). He’s also chief executive of Watchstone Group, who’s majority shareholders are linked with asset management.
  5. Last year through work, I met Des Walker at one of those “An evening with” events in Nottingham. Safe to say, Desmond couldn’t stand Di Canio one bit. Loved Brighty and Carlton though..
  6. I won’t be able to attend the Derby County and Hull games so taking up the offer won’t be any good to me, but its a fantastic idea for those who can, and especially with Christmas around the corner. I’ll go to the Preston and Blackburn matches though, and now knowing that the cost for both will be the exact same, it allows us to budget for those.
  7. I don’t mind paying £30 on the Kop for the Preston game. Yes I’d love it to be cheaper, but looking down the road from me, League Two Notts County charge £24 for a similar view on their Kop. Im not doing the pigs game, £40 each for me and the wife along with another £15 for my ten year old is a bit too much for us at the current time, and with it being on TV, it at least allows me to watch the game, albeit not being the same as being there. I don’t blame the club for it, as clearly the demand is there to do it. I must say that allowing members to attend the derby for £30 on the Kop is a smart move.
  8. He was living in Papplewick the last I heard. Seen him in the bookies in Hucknall a couple of times. He’s a shareholder at UK Meds and owns a shed load of properties.
  9. Frank Simek He was American.
  10. I remember watching a night game on Sky and still managing to hear his voice.
  11. For a couple of weeks in May 79 and 80 he probably supported Forest.
  12. You had two crowds of 30k plus and 29k on the final game of the season. Hardly world beating is it.. You went into administration on September 22nd. The first home game following that news was against Reading, when less than 19k bothered to turn up. Derby exited administration on July 1st 2022, therefore that list contains all home games played within that period.
  13. Albeit with a strong team for that level, in 22/23 a 15 point deduction would have seen up drop from third to fourth. 70 points over 46 games and 15 point deduction would most likely see us safe.
  14. I noticed that last night on the Kop. Its been over two years since I sat on there for a night match and it definitely seemed a lot brighter whilst the game was on.
  15. He’s having a better game now he’s come off.
