    What the **** kind of support turns on their team with 10 minutes left in a match against one of the biggest teams in the world. The players look to the stand for support after conceding a goal and all they can see are streams of people leaving. Great way to motivate the team to get back into the game. We could have nicked a goal and then anything could have happened, but no.......

    So please do one and go and play FIFA on easy level if all you want to do is win easy.
    Most of the fans that did leave won't have a season ticket so pretty pointless saying that.
    Why do you think it's right to tell people what to do when you don't even know them?who gives you the right to say what they should and shouldn't be doing?
    The players shouldn't be looking to the crowd they sho

    You could easily just argue that they should park better Anag. I park on London Road which may seem far from the ground but cutting through Deadman's Lane means it takes about ten minutes to walk there and then we face no traffic. It's an absolute nightmare if you park inside the Pride Park area.

    re: Who left in the 84th minute?

    You're right RBF, but for some - not me - with age or mobility related issues I can understand the temptation. To put it into perspective, I sometimes go with a friend who has to make a 65 mile/90 minute journey to a home match. He left one recent match five minutes before me and although I only live 18 miles/30 minutes away he was home by 11.00 pm - five minutes before me. Makes a difference to those with family and work responsibilities.

Sad to see people leave early and I choose not to, but when the outcome appears inevitable i.e. the Brum match, then...they've paid their money...their choice and I don't really blame them.
    Well they could have left on the 87th minute then. Not stream out on mass as the players are resetting for the kickoff. Great motivation for the team to try and get back in it. What if the brum fans had left when they were losing 3-1 on ninety

    Would you care to elaborate on those "hopeless traffic arrangements" and how in Derby they could be better. Surely nowhere has given over to the motor car more then Derby with all those inner-motorways yet you have all this congestion. My daughter was snarled up in Derby the other day and getting nowhere. She then gave up and asked her husband to take over.[/quote]

    So did the traffic miraculously clear when her husband took over or does this say more about your daughters patience/driving ability?

    "Deadmans Lane". Is that for real? If it is then how did it acquire it ?
