    Maverick got a reaction from De22Ram in South Stand...surely its time for proper stand names!   
    As Derby are re born...surely it's time we named the South Stand and the rest of them for that matter.  Not a fan of a sponsored stand as they come and go...apart from the Toyota West stand.  We could go back to an old stand name from the BBG, a Legend or something completely new and fresh?
    I'll start the ball rolling.....
    South Stand - 1884
    North Stand - Railway End
    East Stand - Popside
    West Stand - Toyota (Steve Bloomer Upper & Lower) Stand

    Thank you for that. My wife will now complain endlessly about the wine that is splattered down my shirt. Please give me your address so I can send you the stain removal costs 🤪

    Maverick got a reaction from Rammy03 in Lots of players out of contract in Summer   
    It tells us that we nearly went out of business last year, DC saved us at the eleventh hour and we could only sign players on a 2 year contract maximum with a salary cap to play in League 1.  Restrictions may have eased but we are not yet operating at the full League 1 version of FFP - which is Revenue based and I believe would allow for 60% of turnover to be spent on wages.  Then you will see a bigger budget and we can flex our muscles.  However, I do not expect DC ever to splash the cash under his watch.

    Alright Rams, Guiseley (who?) fan here in peace.
    I came to the Oxford game on Saturday with my mate (Wolves fan). 
    It was our first trip to Pride Park between us and usually we pick a random game every so often. So we ended up at your place.
    We had a great time, your stadium is fantastic. Plenty of eateries around the ground too. The fans we were sat near were passionate and it was infectious. We were in the North Stand which was family orientated but it was nice to see so many youngsters getting behind the team.
    The atmosphere was great, the bounce by the south stand was something I won't forget. Capped with a great goal to get the win aswell. 
    Only downside being, we parked at the industrial park past the south stand and we didn't move for about an hour after the final whistle. But that didn't spoil a great day out. 
    All the best for the season, will be looking out for your results and will likely come back later in the season too.

    Maverick got a reaction from Carnero in Liam Rosenior   
    Or....leave him on his current contract, see how it goes and then make it permanent with a new contract when the season is well under way and we can judge over a decent amount of games.  Rather than - here's a new 3 year deal now and then sack him after 10 games without a win and have to pay him off ( like some of our previous appointments over the years).  Most of the new signings were identified when Rooney was still here - so I would imagine that they would not of signed if Rooney and then Rosenior go before a ball is kicked.

    Maverick got a reaction from Inverurie Ram in Away Memberships   
    Away tickets - open to everyone on a first come first served basis.  If that means queing up around PP ticket office or waiting online at 8.59am...then so be it.  Previous away games attended is not really the best metric to apply a priority, neither is paying for a membership to allow you to have priority - you could say both are a form of discrimination.  There maybe an argument for season ticket holders to get first refusal - but again would affect the ability to go from a large number of fans living outside of Derbyshire.  E.g. if you were a rams fan living across the road from Exeter's ground for example.  As a previous poster stated - many clubs will have small away ends and if we sold upwards of 1500+ memberships - you could still miss out and pay £40 for the privilege.  Looks like a no win scenario and I expect to see many rams fans in the home end throughout the season - something I know Sunderland fans did regularly.
