£6 for a pint of fizzy Burton well water! 

I’m a SBW kind of guy, myself. Very polished, good craic and seem like a top bunch of lads. 
 
Not to take away from any of the others, of course!

Only just seen this as I got locked out of my account when I forgot my password. 🙈

All this feedback is really kind - I've passed it onto the lads and we really appreciate it. 

Genuinely makes a difference to us, especially in our 7th season, having covered 2 failed playoff campaigns, a relegation and an administration.

We'll get to pod about a promotion.... one day.  🤞

Christ, there is no bait that Derby County fans on the internet will not rise to.

I’d very much like us to be unearthing gems too. I’ve said a couple of times I was excited by the prospect of Lee Bonis, not because I’d seen the lad play, more that it had the potential to be us finding a rough diamond, polishing him up (matron, ooo-err etc) and then either selling him on at a massive profit or seeing him lead us through the leagues. 
My point is, there’s still time for something like that to happen, and if it doesn’t transpire it won’t be the end of the world. We’re steadily rebuilding the club with solid if unspectacular signings, I’m alright with it, others aren’t and that’s fair too.

Number 6 is a very mis-informed point. His Rotherham sides that have been previously promoted have frequently pumped teams 3,4 and 5 and been the highest scoring teams in the league.
There is a bit of a myth in football nowadays that pretty and exciting football is passing around the back and having a million touches before the ball goes into the net. I would much rather watch my side get the ball forward quickly, be more direct and play more aggressive football. I would enjoy my Saturday evening pints after watching us score lots of goals in that manner whether people find this 'attractive' or not.
I think a lot of fans are mis-diagnosing last season as Warneball when we quite frankly, didn't have the tools to do it and he said on a number on occasions that he wasn't happy with how we were playing and it isn't what we wants to see from his side.
Judge him from this season and quote me if you want. We will get promoted this year and we will score lots of goals.

Can’t please everyone, clearly 😬
This has been really well received on the whole, and is already their fastest selling away kit in history. 

What a difference a year makes eh? Up until the end of June, we were not only faced with the potential collapse of Derby County but worse still, there was nothing that we as fans could do about it. We were totally dependant on a benevolent millionaire deciding to overpay for us & miraculously after months of desperation & with time running out, we found one - sat in our very own North Stand.
I think its fair to say we could never hope to be that lucky again & David Clowes is quite right when he says measures have to put in place to stop Derby going to the wire like that again. Today was a massive step in that direction & it again shows the calibre of the man that he is putting the long-term future of the club before any personal self-interest.
Obviously there is a fair amount of detail in the proposals & the structure may raise eyebrows but the main headlines really are a) a fan veto over the sale of Pride Park & b) access to regular financial information. Those two elements alone would have stopped the previous regime going as far down the road as they did & allied with the imminent introduction of an independent regulator, gives this Shadow Board real teeth in the future. Remember, this isn't about holding David Clowes to account - its about his successors as club owners, the future Mel Morris & the future three Amigos. We never know how owners can turn out - safe to say no-one in 2015 would have predicted 2021/22.
I totally echo @angieram comments - there are a number of posters on here who would be brilliant as elected members to the Shadow Board. Leave aside any personal distaste for other groups on the Shadow Board, this is your opportunity to help with the future stewardship of this great football club - something that would have been unthinkable 15 months ago.
I urge anyone remoted interested in the future strategic direction of the club to send constructive feedback to DCFC before the deadline 👍🐏

Wouldn't it be fantastic if it was red numbers! Seriously.

Saint David Clowes bringing back the good times?!
 
🤤 

I like this, rather than taking an unfinished loanee from somewhere and developing them for someone else, we could maybe be developing our own player instead. Would be happy with one or two similar players on the bench/around the squad.

It’s nice to see a Tory actually go to jail for fraud, in all fairness. 

Yes, 0-5 members or all members.

Tha what I particularly like about this identity. It’s about the past, present and future. And the things that are always consistent. 
ie I don’t like Barnsley’s identity. Barnsley is winning. You can’t be winning all the time. We know, better than most, that there are investable ups and downs on the pitch over time. 
But there are certain things off the pitch that stay constant throughout.
derby county’s history will never go away.  No one can take away our founding status, our two league titles, our 100+ years of memories and moments. Even if we’re loosing, no one can take away the clubs connection with the community. The future may not be success in Europe, who can say, it’s certainly not something we should build an identity around. The future is the youth system, the women’s team, and the community surrounding the club. The pink embodies that.
it’s daft to build your identity on something as fickle as results, or a playing style. Like building a house on sand. But these 6 colours represent 6 pillars that we can build a strong club on and always maintain our identity.
the colours aren’t that important, it’s the identity they embody that matters. 
everyone talks about the Derby way, like the Stoke way, or the Man Utd way, etc. and thinks it’s a playing style. But playing styles depend on your manager and playing staff. They change with time. These pillars of identity are timeless. 

I can't tell you how happy it makes me to finally have a decent, principled man like David Clowes at the helm, rather than some parasitic venture capitalist consortium, a human-rights abusing nation state or a deluded egomaniac millionaire.
No promise of on-the-pitch success could ever convince me to give up what we currently have for any of the latter.
I can't remember the last time I genuinely felt this, but it feels good to be a Ram.

Love this. 
These things are common in branding and marketing for products and businesses. It’s really fascinating to see it for Derby, too.
It really does show Clowes is starting this club from the beginning again. It’s great.
