Derby fans saying it’s £2m+

They said that about Knighty to be fair. It will be 'undisclosed' as usual. £1-1.5M?

Last time I was down the Gate working and asked what was going on? Was told it was going to the courts. So could be years away yet. That was the jist I got.....

Isn't that the arena etc that are going to court?

I still don't understand why Manning doesn't play Nahki with Tommy. I know it's not necessarily the way he wants the team to play but it's obvious Tommy is missing  his partner.

Taking the extra player from where? I don't necessarily disagree but 1 more up top leaves 1 less somewhere else.

On McCrorie, considering he's been out for so long and IS rusty, I really like what I see.

I don’t mind a Friday . Frees up Saturday to do a game on Saturday, handy pennies for the holiday fund !

Isn't that weird. I rushed like hell for Friday, really enjoyed it but hated Saturday. 3 hours of shopping with Mrs Junkie, cost me a fortune!

His brother was the better footballer.

Rob? I went to secondary school with him (St Brendans), good rugby player too.

Went to St Augustines in Downend before St B's IIRC.

Lovely bloke.

Knighty, makes thing happen, love the fella.

What happens when Sykes is fit?

Just had a quick read of the Forest forum and I don't think they're too impressed with our camera position.....

'There's people in Swindon closer to the pitch than the camera'!

Made me chuckle that.

They like our kit too btw.

Good first half lads, enjoyed that.

That was bloody close from where I'm sat! 

We can't keep this pace up for 90 minutes can we?

Hudson Odoi worries me, he was some player at Chelsea.

Is this the same Mangala that was at Man City? Let's hope he's still crao if it is.

Didn’t know Stuart Attwell was pre-programmed with a 2 second delay!

Premier league isn't he? Needs VAR to make any decisions. His lino's are no help either.

Naughty Cam but I'm not seeing anything to fear here.

Me and the boy unable to attend tonight. He is currently in hospital after a big operation. He did make me laugh though, when he came round he was chatting nonsense as expected, and he blurted out the gas lost dad. 

Come on City 

I'm sure I speak for everyone in wishing your lad a speedy and full recovery RA75.

No, signed, amusing video completed, ready to play tomorrow.

 

Unlucky da shit.

I'm sure we will manage Miah.  

Has this actually gone through or is their fax knackered again? No lowballing or anything?

Would just about sum up our luck with injuries wouldn’t it!!! 

He can't play on Friday anyway.

Whatever loan we received, they wanted the same amount, if my recall is correct 

Thanks Arden, I knew there was a reason they vetoed it and you are spot on.

You have a good memory!

Many Thanks Ska Junkie. It's one thing I did not know about the events of 82. 

Why did it need the agreement of Rovers to make it happen?

So the council could be seen to be fair to both clubs / transparent I guess CSR.

Bearing in mind I was only 2 in 1982. Rovers blocking a council loan is a new one on me. I do vaguely recall someone saying Rovers tried to buy Ashton Gate at the time. Is some more background information anyone can give me?

The council were going to give city a 'bale out' Loan, the terms of which I can't remember as I was only 15 myself. They needed agreement from the scum who vetoed it leaving us to die and them, due to having no competition, free to take over Ashton Gate for pretty much nothing.

I stand to corrected by our more senior members but that's how I remember it.

Well yes and it's pretty much what my post said, it doesn't matter who you support, c****s are c***s. I was pointing out however, that despite all the accusations thrown at Rovers regarding 1982, some of your own fans own behaviour was despicable. 

With all possible respect Miah, these aren't 'accusations', they actually happened.

Dark, dark times for us tbh. I went to school not knowing if my club would still be in business when I came out that day.

Yes, some of our fans went too far but, I would hope, if the boot was on the other foot, we wouldn't do everything we could to kill you off and try to profit from it.
