Apart from when we play at Alfreton!
Was there any 100% proof of that, Alfreton is closer to Mansfield anyway.

Fairly sure there was more than one Derby address listed when it was reported in the paper.

I think you're right, I'm not 100% sure, but I now seem to recall they didn't have a fixture that day?

I think the sensible thing to say is the majority of fans from clubs are decent people, and only a minority of idiots from clubs are trouble.  I wonder how many Port Vale thugs went on the riot here the other year, Mansfield tried to cause a lot of trouble down Grimsby Road the other year as well.

Quoted from GollyGTFC
Derby have been a regular feature on the Price of Football podcast since it started pretty much. They have been a shambles. They weren’t eligible for EFL COVID loans because of the state of their finances and because they haven’t published any accounts with Companies House since about 2018.

Derby claim they are being targeted by the EFL. The truth is of course that the EFL are the clubs. It’s the other 23 Championship clubs that are furious with Derby’s financial issues- selling their stadium at a vastly inflated fee and having their own take on calculating amortisation of players that both cheated the FFP system.

You have a division where virtually every club loses over £500,000 a week and use any trick in the book to pass FFP. When all the others clubs are objecting to Derby’s blatant breaches of the system it shows how brazen Derby have been in ignoring FFP. They went well beyond the legal loopholes used by other clubs. They cheated and nearly got promoted to the Premier League by doing it.

But of course it’s not their fault.

Always makes me laugh when FFP is mentioned as it was put in place to protect the well-being of football when in reality it was to make sure the biggest clubs in football would stay at the top, just like their attempt to form a European super league a few months back.

Yet again the club itself and the fans suffer while the owners, directors and anyone who should be held accountable get away with it.

Derby always seemed to bring a well behaved big crowd whenever we played them even in a freindly, and no cretins running riot like the thugs from Sheffield United/Wednesday.


Presumably, like the Scunny fans, they were pretty happy to go along with years of overspending, and not innocent in their own way.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

I dunno, it looks like Derby had an average of around 26,000 attendances over the last 10-years in the championship, as a fan of a club with that sort of revenue, I would assume to spend abit more than other clubs down the ladder. At the end of the day, it's the people controlling the club that controls the finances, I don't think the fans are to blame.

Ideas above their station and spending beyond their means in a quest to make the Premier League and the Premier League money. Didn't make the Premier League and couldn't pull off sly sponsor/ground ownership tricks similar to Manchester City, nor are they able to lawyer up to the max like City so they find themselves in administration blaming everything but themselves.

I feel bad for Wycombe who really turned things round in the run in last season and would've stayed up if it wasn't for Derby.

My love affair with certain clubs and their bankrupt owners came to an end when Portsmouth cheated their FA Cup win and Cheltenham were relegated because of Notts County's administration!

Thankfully Notts County are now where they should have been years ago!

So much for FFP!

I know they don’t take the decisions, but they must have known what was going on. They must have a voice via the trust. Can’t be moaning about it now if they’ve kept silent for years.

We had/have a trust and we still had 20 years of abject misery at the hands of he who shall no longer be named!
