darko2k7 Posted 30 September 2011 Posted 30 September 2011 Oh my i'm loving this City hate fest that seems to appear on ever pre-match thread this year . I mean just fact that these people feel compulsion the search for a City forum, go through the process of signing up and then sit there racking their hate filled minds for something they interpret as witty and original just tickles me silly.
Bob Weasel Fox Posted 30 September 2011 Posted 30 September 2011 If they dont bring over 2000 that is absolutely shocking effort if they are owt like last season they will be quiet aswell
whitlock Posted 30 September 2011 Posted 30 September 2011 Got VIP tickets from the missus, 3 course meal before hand with a stadium tour, team sheets, programmes and then padded seats in the west stand for the game! Anyone else done is before? Good reviews?
rico Posted 30 September 2011 Posted 30 September 2011 You are obviously too young to remember Derby throwing a few ££££ about in the early-mid 90`s..... £2.5 on Graig Short and others.? 20 fookin years ago when you were in the same division that we`re in now.... I smell jealousy..... I look forward to your reply..... Pickering, who made his fortune through the founding and running of a free newspaper, and brought majority shareholdings and invested £12m in the form of a loan. Derby went from being financially striken to one of the richest clubs outside the top flight. Derby twice broke its transfer record in the space of a month when in March 1992 they signed Paul Kitson for £1.3m from Leicester City (Phil Gee being one of two players going in the opposite direction) and then Tommy Johnson for Notts County ten days later. Paul Simpson also came in from big money (£800k from Oxford United) as did Marco Gabbiadini (£1.3m from Sunderland) and even Bobby Davison (who had left for Leeds United three years earlier), returned for a spell on loan and reached a century of goals for Derby, only the 7th player and most recent to do so, when he netted in a 2-2 draw with Newcastle United. Despite such attacking prowess, and the setting of a new club record for 12 away wins in a season, Derby could only finish 3rd in the 1991-92 Second Division and missed out on automatic promotion by 2 points. As a result Derby entered the Football League playoffs for the first time since they had been introduced in 1987. Facing off against fellow big spenders Blackburn Rovers, Derby fell at the semi final stage as a 2-1 win at The Baseball Ground wasn't enough to overcome a 4-2 defeat at Ewood Park in the first leg and they crashed out 4-5 on aggregate and missed out on the opportunity to be a part of the inaugural Premier League, instead spending the 1992-93 season in the renamed Division One.Despite the addition of Craig Short for £2.5m from Notts County - a record for a team outside of the top flight and for a defender at any level - the club could only an 8th placed finish in the 1992-93 Division One table, largely as a result of taking three points from their opening 7 fixtures, missing out on the playoffs altogether. Whilst the club did manage a trip to Wembley for the first time in nearly 20 years - reaching the final of the Anglo-Italian Cup, where they lost 1-3 to Cremonese - and recorded a club record 7 consecutive away league wins, starting with a 3-1 win at Cambridge United on 3 October 1992 and ending with a 2-1 defeat at Brentford on Boxing Day, 1992, the season was seen as something of a disappointment considering the amount of money spent and the players available to the club.

Corky Posted 30 September 2011 Posted 30 September 2011 1,200 sold? Fair play. I think Bristol Rovers brought more than double that.

heatherfox Posted 30 September 2011 Posted 30 September 2011 both florist and direby both pi@s me off to be honest. They go on about being 'big cubs' and 'we won this that and the other' well wake up and smell the coffee that was 30 years ago (in the last uckin century FFS)! WTF have you won RECENTLY (last 10 years will do) cack all that's what. Sorry rant over!

I smell jealousy..... I look forward to your reply..... You are dead right. Madness. Lional Pickering DCFC owner lost his personal fortune propping up/developing the club. Trying to financially compete. as I said earlier, that's the old way, the daft way. Clubs from next season will have to trim their wage bill in relation to tunover.
cornish fox Posted 30 September 2011 Posted 30 September 2011 Yeah, as you say far too early to tell. The table hasn't even begun to settle, one win has you pegging down on the leaders and a loss within a hair's breadth of the relegation places. With regards to the support which I failed to mention. It is very poor on the Derby end and it sounds as if its not too hot from your side either. Since we were relegated our away support has been shocking and its something which has clearly been picked up on due to the disparity with our home gates. I'm hoping we can pick up the followers we've lost, we've usually had a solid, respectable away support over the years. I can fully understand your home fans staying away with the ticket prices as they are, our buy-on-the-day ticket sales seem to be majorly down despite our good start, though with the 1000's of job losses in the city we were expecting a hit. I'd imagine people are feeling the pinch in Leicester too. I guess with it being on sky its a great excuse to call this away game off and go to another but thats not excusing the poor numbers. Also for whatever reason, Derby Leicester has lost a lot of its spice in recent years, its been too long (the play-off final) before we've had any real drama or action that is needed to put a spark back into the fixture. In that time, we've obviously had the whole Billy Davies, Nigel Clough, player swaps, on-pitch shenanigans etc. with Forest which obviously intensifies things whilst its all gone mellow and rather stale between Leicester and Derby. I'm not a Derby fan in denial who pretends to think Leicester is a nothing game, beneath it all there is East Midlands pride to play for, rivarlies come and go and hot up and die down but it'd be nice if we can actually have a juicy game between the 2 sides for once, will be the first time in a number of years. Two great posts there. Thanks for coming on the forum

Now its our turn....
Larry_LCFC Posted 30 September 2011 Posted 30 September 2011 Forest, Derby and Cov fans really are the thickest ***** known to man. Dont they realise by taking the time to find our forum, sign up and then tell us how "insignificant" we are to them, they are just showing us how big the game actually is. Playing down a rivalry to me just shows how scared they are of losing it and having the piss ripped out of them.

I mean just fact that these people feel compulsion the search for a City forum, go through the process of signing up and then sit there racking their hate filled minds for something they interpret as witty and original just tickles me silly. I just asked a serious question about your precarious financial situation if you don't get promoted this year. I haven't had a propper answer yet?
The Truth Posted 30 September 2011 Posted 30 September 2011 So.... stones and glass houses ? Now its our turn.... But what will you do if you don't go up? You will have players on wages that aren't sustainable. I'm interested in your thoughts?
heatherfox Posted 30 September 2011 Posted 30 September 2011 I just asked a serious question about your precarious financial situation if you don't get promoted this year. I haven't had a propper answer yet? I'll give you a PROPER answer - the owners will sign a HUGE sponsorship deal thus increasing the turnover of the club - simples!
The Truth Posted 30 September 2011 Posted 30 September 2011 I'll give you a PROPER answer - the owners will sign a HUGE sponsorship deal thus increasing the turnover of the club - simples! I don't think that is within the FFP rules.
Corky Posted 30 September 2011 Posted 30 September 2011 I just asked a serious question about your precarious financial situation if you don't get promoted this year. I haven't had a propper answer yet? Probably because no-one can give you a "propper" answer as we don't know every detail of our club accounts and the fact the season hasn't finished yet.
heatherfox Posted 30 September 2011 Posted 30 September 2011 I don't think that is within the FFP rules. and you're familiar with the legal details of the new rules and our owner, with their multi-billion dollar company, are some naive people who have overlooked this - glad you're here to put us straight.!
yorkie1999 Posted 30 September 2011 Posted 30 September 2011 Don't understand why people keep going on about we're in the shit if we don't make the premiership next season due to the ffp rules com ing in that are related to turnover within the club. Surely turnover is about how much comes in compared to how much goes out. If our shirt sponser seems it fit to sponser us to the tune of 50 odd million a year because they see it as great value for money because of the name advertising they get in their own country then this is 50 odd million that our club is in profit. Same as the stadium sponser, another 50 odd million into the kity. Maybe this is why all our home games are being televised in thailand next season. Now if i were a club who was relying on some dodgy deal with a phone company , i'd be seriously worried
Simmo86 Posted 30 September 2011 Posted 30 September 2011 That's because £30.00 a ticket for a televised game is too much. Leicester have never been a particulrly big game for Derby anyway. I would say somewhere between Leeds and Birmingham but miles behind the tree huggers. No great shakes really this match. You lot seem to be a bit excited though. Who actually do you recognise as your big local "derby" game? We brought 3000 to the sheep dip last season at £32 a pop and it was televised! Whether you care about Leicester or not, to take 1200 fans to a game 30 minutes away when joint top of the league is a piss poor effort!

davieG Posted 30 September 2011 Posted 30 September 2011 Taken from Foxblogger There can be few Leicester goals which have been more beautifully constructed than Andy King's winner at Pride Park last season. The build up was incisive, the final pass outstanding, the silencing of the Rams delicious. Leicester haven't reached those heights since (indeed, they would win just five more games all season) but perhaps this weekend, in front of a Saturday tea time audience, the Foxes will click as beautifully as they did last February. Last season's meeting at the King Power Stadium had a similar meaning for Derby. It's easy to forget that the Rams arrived that November afternoon fourth in the table on the back of seven wins from nine matches. After a 2-0 defeat, Derby went on to win just five league matches for the remainder of the season. Can Leicester break Derby again? Well there are a few factors pulling in their favour. Leicester have kept three successive clean sheets and are unbeaten in six. After Saturday's game, the Foxes will have played five of the current top six. There can be no argument that Sven's men are standing up to the toughest tests in the Championship at the moment. Derby meanwhile might owe their lofty league position to a relatively gentle fixture list. Nigel Clough's side have played only one team outside the bottom ten, and whilst it's true you can only beat what is put in from of you, it's also the case that four of Derby's six league wins this season have been by just a single goal. For Leicester, breaking down what has thus far proven to be a resilient Derby defence might rely on the fitness of David Nugent. The Foxes have scored a goal every 66 minutes with the former Pompey striker on the pitch, but only once every 121 minutes without him present. With just two goals for Leicester in their last four league matches and with the visitors only finding the net four times themselves on the road this season, this could be another tight match.
Kitchandro Posted 30 September 2011 Posted 30 September 2011 The thing that both annoys me and makes me laugh about Derby and Forest, if they were such big clubs, and that flukey period where they both won stuff was so significant now, why do they have such average (well, in Derby's case shit) support?
BrummieFOX Posted 30 September 2011 Posted 30 September 2011 We brought 3000 to the sheep dip last season at £32 a pop and it was televised! Whether you care about Leicester or not, to take 1200 fans to a game 30 minutes away when joint top of the league is a piss poor effort! Yep. We took 1,400 to Rotherham on a Tuesday in the Carling Cup.
