I've often heard and read this, but is it actually documented anywhere or is it a bit urban legend? 

Never known of any other stand have to be replaced due to age. 

There must be older stands out there? 

guess it's to do with build quality pre late sixties things were built to last nowadays built to need replacing sooner rather than later (Money) .

you chose the wrong line to quote the next line is

"there's no future for you" should have gone for

"there's no future"

but hey lets hope he saves her and no-one scores on the rebound(just to make it football related)

As Pops mentions above, the loan is from a company called MSD, and supposedly to the tune of £30m. 
MSD have previously loaned money to Southampton & Sunderland. 
The loan has been charged on Companies House to the football club - but surely they can’t inject money to the football club secured against a stadium that the football club do not own. It’s like you lending me money and saying if I don’t pay you back you’ll take my neighbours house (not mine). 
 

In essence, if Morris doesn’t pay MSD back their £30m if they ask for it, then they’ll own the ground. Even though the club don’t own the ground any more!! 
 

It’s a bloody farce. The fact Derby’s CEO sits on the EFL board is surely a conflict of interest in this matter. 
 

I just can’t see how, within FFP rules, this £30m can form part of any calculations, as it’s not ‘football club’ income - it’s technically a loan to Morris himself (as he bought the stadium). 
 

There’s got to be some sort of investigation into this. 

Is it better than yours ?

I guess if 6750, you’d have to sit where you’re told, everyone evenly spaced, a seat gap to each side and in front and behind.

what happens if you want a piss the whole stadium has to move to let you out or are the club going to discriminate against those with weak bladders?

Not sure which Government announcement to look out for in respect of them - the date football stadiums can reopen or when camp sites can reopen. Which category do they fall under?

I think wan kers as long as you you socially distance by 5 inches has been allowed all the way through but if not they should be able to all pull together.

you might be right It looks like its called the CAC stadium.

Just to point out to posters @phantom @James54De

from the bbc

There were six positive tests across three Premier League clubs on Sunday and Monday, as the English top flight prepares to resume in June.

A total of 748 players and staff from 19 clubs were tested. Norwich City did their tests on Tuesday so will be included in Saturday's results.

so 3 premier clubs tested Sunday and Monday six positive Phantom wins.

748 players and staff were tested (no date mentioned but I would guess after Monday) so I guess James54De gets a late equalizer

overall winner using the Lewis/Duckworth method Noone.

Every player will be expected to return to training but I dont expect the club's will force them to return. That said, 6 confirmed cases has to be better than anyone could have expected from the number of clubs tested. It'll surely give players and staff confidence that there is a way forward and that they can push on from this point.

from the bbc

'Clubs were permitted to test up to 40 personnel and some did not use their full allocation, while some samples are still to be processed.'

not really testing is it.

then he should stay at home and not put his baby at risk and the press should make it a non story.

Think they tested today so will be revealed amongst the second set of results this week

 

Watford have 3 confirmed cases, seems Deeney had a point when not wanting to return

has Deeney been in contact with the three cases? not if he has truly been social distancing? if he has a household member even slightly at risk then he is taking the right stance.

I don't know the true answer do you ?

WRONG @phantom THE TESTS WERE COMPLETED FROM 19 CLUBS. 
 

what happened to the twentieth are  they all dead?

just remember we all get facts from different sites we may all be wrong.

the truth is out there but we may never stumble across it.
