I remember the complaints when we had the Atyeo about the acoustics being terrible, now many complain that they want the Atyeo for its acoustics. What we need to remember is that the ground is designed in a way that the noise projects. In W2 (I have a pile of kids who come with me) the away fans are louder than the S82 guys - but when I was in W7 a few seasons back it was the other way round. I can still hear both though! Noise generation "up top" is patchy, sometimes it gets going for a while, sometimes it doesn't - but even when it does, I bet you don't realise if you're stood in that far corner from us. I guess the most important thing is if the team can hear the support ?

Welcome ? It might be worth you exploring the membership option - it costs £25 but saves you £5 per ticket so if you can make more than 5 matches in the season you should be better off link to city membership page

Not sure they will - it looks like large parts are already sold out (all of the south stand for example)

Probably in my view, after all they have "competitive debut" and "league debut" to look forward to still ?

I would imagine the purchase prices would skyrocket if a serious plan to do this became known about - imagine what the last one could hold out for...

Not Derby related btu when clicking on the EFL statement linked, it was very nice to see a picture of Alex Scott as part of the tile linking to the U19 final

Absolutely - and they are also bound to find the best possible deal for the creditors, even if that is liquidation above the MA offer nothing explicit in that about protecting the heritage of the club, much as many would think it should be in there somewhere.. possibly something in "relevant considerations"?

Corrected for Gaslogic accuracy for you ?

"...and it's a 1 - higher or lower?" "Lower!" ?

Just once, it would be good to see somebody lose higher or lower (not for the kiddie involved of course but I would happily pay for the same prize for him/her just to see it). As others have said, I'm far from the target audience, but the four youngsters I bring with me love it all

Thankfully none of the issues renewing online that a few others seem to have had - five renewed

Just like consulting with a trade union tells you that the workers are underpaid? I'm certainly not saying that they shouldn't have consulted with the SC&T, because I think they should - but we would all have known that the likely response would have been a request for a price freeze

Perhaps they should add Bon Jovi to the list then, as they are halfway there (with 21 points lost) and living on a prayer...

True but it does two things Reduce cashflow - help the "funds to get to end of season" criteria Reduce total debt - reduces the minimum sale price needed to meet the various restrictions (such as minimum 25%), especially since the debt wopuld have been a football creditor

Sorry but the first mis-naming that springs to mind is Duncan Idaho, but then I grew up enjoying the Dune books (along with very many others)

But I'm actually less worried about the 'Boro side of things. Say they have settled on (for example) £1m to be paid by MM to 'Boro. All paid, all settled, the claim goes away. But what if Derby survive (perfectly possible) and their accounts for this year have a £12.9m loss? If Derby had agreed the £1m and paid it, their loss would have been £13.9m and therefore breached their reset P&S limits

I suppose that is my problem - it potentially opens so many loopholes where what is effectively a brown paper envelope can be passed from a private individual to a club and the "official" transaction between two clubs looks far better in terms of FFP than it would have if everything went through the books. I hope that those more knowledgeable than me on such matters can explain why not?

All in the name of Peter Wallis - sorry but I can't remember if he is a person we "know about" in relation to DCFC...

I think the closest equivalent is something like this. You declare bankruptcy. First goes the stuff on the mortgage (secured creditors) then the rest get a % under insolvency laws. The EFL is the golf club or the gym that you owe a few hundred to, who then say "if you don't clear our whole bill you can't come and use our facilities..."

I remember somebody at work choosing his 16th birthday to retire after just over 30 years service...

Isn't there something in EFL rules about using arbitration as a condition of membership?

Much as I hate to say it (not least because of the breaking up of play)- but I would be just about in favour overall of properly-implemented VAR in the Championship. By "properly-implemented" I would include some form of "referee's call" to try to avoid the "toe offside" style decision.

"Unsecured" is correct but not complete. - you then subdivide the unsecured creditors into the other categories. You are only a secured creditor if you hold a charge over assets or the company as a whole. They are top of the queue, followed by the administrators (first preferential - but still unsecured technically), HMRC (second preferential) then legally all the rest, but EFL rules split into football and non-football

A slightly different take I saw on @Davefevs salary cap quote was to allow the PPs to continue for cashflow purposes - but to only allow some of it to count as income for FFP/P&S purposes, enough only to cover pre-existing wages above the specified divisional average

Decent wage - absolutely. Obscene wage.... no way
