What was your first game?
My first trip to England and Derby was the final match at the Baseball Ground in '97.

Describe the most memorable and worst game you've seen and why?
The most memorable was certainly away at Bradford a few years ago which ended 4-4, but we arrived 20 minutes late directly from Norway after a hazardous drive from Stansted. I've enjoyed all the matches I've seen, but it was disappointing to be over there as people started to realize there was no chance of avoiding relegation from the Premiership.
If Derby County was a Celebrity, who would it be and why?
Tim Wheeler of Ash. The world's greatest, but not that much talked about!
Who do you consider as your current local rivals, and why?
Definitely Nottingham Forest. Always have been and always will be.

Who are the best and worst players you have seen?
For the Rams the best single performance is probably Kinkladze in a match against Wimbledon which we won 4-0, but there are so many I could mention here. Mikkel Beck has become somewhat of a joke among Rams fans as he was utterly dreadful.

Which current or former Rotherham player impressed you most?
Can't think of anyone actually.

How did you fare last season?
Very close to relegation and misery all season through.

Since we last met you've hit a good run. anything happened to spur that?
We're not really sure, but we can't seem to lose away from home and that obviously helps!
Can you make Automatic promotion?
The thought has crossed our minds, but I can guarantee you that all Rams fans would be delighted with a play-off place which is more than most of us had hoped for ahead of this season.

How's Junior going on? Played well for us without actually threatening goal much.
Struggling to get into the first team, with players like Rasiak and Smith doing so well.

So what do you think of The Millers?
No particular view one way or the other.

Is your manager barking mad?
He's rather boring I would say, but certainly seems to know his stuff and we're all pleased he's signed a new contract with the club.

Are you happy with your Chairman/Backroom staff?
That's a very complex issue and the fans are divided. The directors have only invested £3 into the club, literally, but we seem to be heading the right way, at least on the pitch.
Which team do you want to beat the most this season and why?
Definitely Nottingham Forest. Some fans said they didn't care how the rest of the season went after we thrashed them 3-0 at home earlier this season. We're looking forward to the away clash which is coming up soon.

What sort of line-up can we expect from you?
Camp; Kenna, Mills, Huddlestone, Makin; Bisgaard, Idiakez, Bolder, Reich; Tudgay, Rasiak.
Predicted score?
I've still not shaken off my disbelief in the team performing well for a long period of time so it would be absolutely typical if we lost away against the worst home team in the league. I'm actually going for a 2-1 home win, although I think most Rams fans will be confident of another three points.

Who's going up?
Ipswich, Sunderland and... Derby!

Who's going down?
The current bottom three seems to be a good bet to be honest.
Pie's - What Flavour?
Never really had one! Not that common over here in Norway. Is that weird?
