    As far as I know, the two previous games were sold out - capacity is around the 9,500 mark, but does vary slightly, depending on how the South Stand is set up - how many seats have to be netted for segregation etc.  The capacity has been reduced (not of our chosing) to around 9,500 this season, the former away terrace, which was used by home fans for the previous 3 games, looked rather sparsely populated compared to previous season's when there was a "full house" of away fans on it.  

    Even the players have been restricted on tickets for this game, so there certainly aren't unsold ones knocking about.  I think Scunthorpe are bringing around 280, so I'm expecting something around the 9,500 figure again. 

    Capacity did used to be over 11,000 at one point, a fair bit of income lost over the last few games, compared to past seasons - not that we were often at capacity, of course! 

    Also depends how many plastic patio chairs were broken in the previous home games and can’t be fixed by gaffer tape

    Very interesting times now.

    Unsure what can and can't be put on open forums but there were certainly questions prior to Putin about Russian oligarchs, indeed some of their 1990s excesses were a reason why Putin gained power. Putin of 2000 was very different to the current version but I digress, the Russian State in the 1990s..the oligarchs didn't exactly seem a positive force?! 

    Really good book ‘once upon a time in Russia’ covers this period and is a good read. Only 99p for kindle version on Amazon

  3. I can’t claim to understand much of the financial analysis that goes on on this thread, but I had a question

    if anyone (for example MM) pays legal fees or damages that Derby might incur, would that not affect FFP in the same way giving the club £20m to pay or sign players  would?

  4. Listened to the interview, did start to feel Warnock could be ideal to provide cover for Nigel, and White and Jordan fuelled that feeling. Doubt it will happen but if it did could be ideal for all parties

    cover while Nigel recovers

    a local (ish) role for Neil until end of season
