    To be honest having been to the ground and watch them play. Quite clearly prioritised players over ground improvements. There is no connecting changing rooms, you have to work over another pitch to get to the main pitch which is a glorified 4G court. There is no turnstile. There is barely any terracing 

    Everything asked was going to be in place, the extension was given.  Just seems a ridiculous OTT reaction.  Of course I am only going off their statement and their might be more to it.

    I recommend the following podcast about effects of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) on Shane Christie (and his friend Billy Guyton) whose diagnoses only became clear after their deaths (apparently this condition cannot be diagnosed before death). It is largely told by his ex-partner Holly Parkes. A 50 minute listen but I do recommend

    I see the Guardian had also published an article about this:

    [t is thought that Steve Thompson's early onset dementia is the effect of CTE -Wikipedia]

    I remember reading over 90% of NFL players have it in some form....its one of the reasons soccer has become so popular there.  Although with recent findings on heading the ball and cte I wonder how safe it is.

    I think Derby will scrape the play offs 

    they probably have the easiest last fixture and have the best GD. 

    Imagine derby, forest and cov in the prem and us in league 1.

    It'd be all over the BBC Sport's Football page if they manage to get promotion..

    Last season you said the wrexham wheels would come off, they got promoted, this season you said they'd get relegated...but i think you might be right with your prediction of their possible promotion being on the bbc sport website.:D
