Hello Michael,I am overwhelmed to see that you are who I thought you might be.What are the chances after all these years.Chris sent me the PM that you replied to him and I hope you don't mind sharing my response with all the members here on PoN. You told Chris you would be interested to learn how I knew your dad.Well here goes,perhaps their will be a few names you remember your dad mentioning.I started working for Simon,May in September 1963 in the quaintly named counting house with Chief Clerk,Frank Powdrill,basiclally as a gopher-go for this ,go for that..More on Mr Powdrill later.I transferred to 'S' Export dispatch the following spring.I should have reported for work on the Monday morning but due to toothache I was at the dentist instead.When I turned up for work later that day(minus the offending tooth) I dont think your dad was initially too impressed with the reason I gave for my lateness.My workmates along with your dad were,Eddie(can't remember his surname) ,along with 3 women packers,Kathleen Woodward,Irene Pearson & Joan Edwards.On the same floor was the 'S' department Home trade with Frank Holmes and his packer Ernest Rowe.You may remember Malcolm Baker, who always pestered your dad if he found out you were having a break from Newcastle because he requested you go play Hockey ,I believe for West Bridgford. When Eddie left I became your dad's assistant .I could hardly miss the fact your dad was a Notts fan and when he found out I was a Rams fan we found a shared interest in football.We used to exchange match reports on the morning after games.We also shared the same sense of humour with Monty Python especially..In fact there was a time when Bram(as your dad was affectionately known)was off work ill for a lengthy period.On his return he presented me with a Monty Python book for covering for him whilst he was off work.Something I didn't expect but shows what your dad was like..Incidently I became a member of the Littlewoods pools syndicate that he ran.He told me a lot of stories about Notts and football in general.This, along with my father in laws support of Notts ,is why Notts are my second team and why I'm here on Pride of Nottingham.Bram told me he used to meet up with his sisters and they'd attend games together.I remember wishing him luck for his last match and the shock we all had the next morning when we all learned of his passing.I was taken to the funeral by Bill Robinson and with many other Simon,May personell.I missed him very much after working with him for so long as he treated me so well and as a friend. On a lighter note I mentioned Frank Powdrill earlier.Well after being made redundant at Simon,May's I was employed by a Dairy as Stores Manager,I was taking a a break late in the afternoon and went to the canteen for a drink and sat at a table where there was a discarded Nottingham Post.This would be around 2004,about 40 years after I started at Simon,May's.I picked the paper up and there was an article about Mr Powdrill.Notts had made a presentation to him ,I believe it was on his 100th birthday and as a longtime County fan.There's another coincidence. Well there we are Michael,I hope this was of some interest to you and don't be a stranger.Barry(super_ram)

@liampie John Eustace feels that he hasn't had the backing from the Blackburn board that he hoped for.Although the Blackburn board sanctioned 6 signings during the recent transfer window John Eustace feels their quality isn't up to the quality he was hoping for.He asked the board for an assurance as to his future which he didn't get.I must admit though that I was surprised with the turn of events.I wonder if a major financial backer is lurking in the background at Derby.

Similar to yesterdays post,overcast here and sporadic drilling or banging noises from next door.Reasonably pleased with Rams appointing John Eustace.Time will tell.

A very dull,overcast day here in Aspley.I got the usual wake up call at 8.24 this morning although I was already awake.Drill noise for a few minutes ,then hammering. but mainly bearable after that.I'm sure it;s done deliberately to annoy me .Silly pillock. Still awaiting official announcement of new Rams manager/coach.I hope John Eustace has some answers.How does my team play away from home so well against a very good in form team(Our disallowed goal should have stood), then play at home like strangers who have just discovered a football?Answers on a postcard please asap or apply DCFC c/o Pride Park ,Derby. I wrote this yesterday but forgot to submit,was distracted by something(it's an age thing)

I was annoyed when Paul Warne was sacked .Mostly due to the number of injuries he had to contend with during the disastrous losing run of games.I thought Matt Hamshaw would be a good choice after he took up the reins away against Norwich, with players returning from injury and new signings available,and could have won with a much improved display.My reasoning being that he was already at the club,knew the players and set up,and no compensation to a rival club would have to be paid.After the home match against Oxford I realised the job wasn't that easy. Derby were very poor and though Matt Hamshaw made all the subs I would expect there was still no improvement.Yes,I could give reasons for the poor display.Players perhaps not fully fit after injuries others coming in and needing time to gel. Whatever the reason Matt didn't have the answer.I wish John Eustace well and hope that he DOES have the answer.
