Gate 29,421
I'm suffering a hit & miss internet connection [thanks Virgin Media] thus typing this now, while the sun smiles.
Perhaps it's just me, but I feel that we're overdue a decisive victory and Monday night is going to deliver it.
Has the boy wonder made the rooky mistake of committing his team to play too many games with a thread bare squad?
They put in a gutless performance against the Lions and Frank is going to struggle to motivate his Chelsea loanees.
We have won the same number of point's as the sheep over the past five games, not withstanding the two points that the Bagster's robbed from us.
Our injury ravaged defence seems to be finding some cohesion at last and Ryan Yates is the star find of MON's reign so far. I would like to see him paired with Carvalho in midfield, but perhaps Monday is too soon for that.
Bring on the sheep roast.

They might as well knock the whole dump down and start again.

Tell me honestly that you wouldn’t want to replicate the atmosphere from Monday’s match at PP?...

I'm sure if in the mid 90s there was the opportunity to update the Baseball Ground into a modern stadium fit for first class football the Derby fans, hand on heart, would have preferred that to the Pride park that they have now.

No the Baseball Ground was not very good to get to and parking was difficult near the ground. And yes it was a old fashioned dump like your ground, but we loved it all the same.
Give me PP any day.

The atmosphere was pretty good when we beat you 5-0.

Difference was the Forest fans backed their team to the bitter end that day whereas the Derby fans at the CG on Monday seem to accept their fate fairly glumly.

Baseball Ground had a decent atmosphere. Got dragged there a few times as a kid by my older bro. Saw a match against Norwich, who were top of the old first division. They won 1-0 and Mark Wright headbuttd one of their players and was red carded. He ran from 20 yards away to do it too!
I remember the old Ramstop station where they used to drop us away fans off. It was a bit tight in there after the match.

My bro used to stand at the front of the Popside level with the 18 yard line at the Vulcan End of the ground. I remember going against Newcastle and their fans were dead rowdy. Pretty scary walking back to the train station after the match.

I used to stand there Will, maybe we are old friends.

Well if you saw a couple of teenagers banging on the advertising boards at the front when Saunders scores against Man Utd in about 1989 quite probably! 👍🏼

Will, I used to live in Long Eaton until 1973, so often used to go either Forest or Derby for the price of a platform ticket (allegedly), and even saw Athletico Madrid train on the park in Long Eaton, prior to playing Derby in one of the European matches. Both grounds had awesome atmospheres on big game nights, especially midweek. Today’s modern all seater stadiums seldom rival those days, though the CG on Monday, I was in the upper Trent End, was the best for a long time. Seeing the plans for our proposed new stadium makes me think the Greeks aren’t likely to bail any time soon, and that interesting times are just around the corner.

I will even confess to watching Roger Davis score all 5 goals in a Derby 5-0 win v Luton, ironically I was talking to some Luton fans on the way to the ground about their player Joe Payne scoring 10 goals in a match. Davis could have equalled it that day.
