    This is absolutely brilliant, hopefully his family will get the opportunity to see this and consider using it at his farewell. Fantastic job mate.

    We could all learn something from B4. The B4 thread or room of positivity would be a fitting tribute. Not as much as Derby winning the treble this season though, which in the spirit of B4 I am now fully convinced we will do.

    Happy to report that both my wife and big sister arrived home safe and unharmed from their voluntary stint on the Poppy Stall in Derbion on Tuesday!
    What is the world coming to?
    Alleged attacks on a 78 year old volunteer in Edinburgh.
    Poppy sellers "feeling nervous" being surrounded by mobs of "Protesters" at Charring Cross.
    The Rochdale Cenotaph being daubed with "Political Graffiti".
    The sanctity of The London Cenotaph at high risk for this coming weekend.
    I get some don't agree with what The Poppy symbolises and represents.  I get that.  Each to their own.  But to actively go out of their way to threaten Poppy Sellers (All of whom are volunteers, and many of whom are "elderly") and/or wearers, is the scummiest of the scum in my book. 
    I'll be adding extra pride to my stance at 11am at The NMA on Sunday, after doing similar at The Camp Bastion Wall Memorial, as we mark our remembrance and respect to one known fallen hero in particular, on our son's behalf (as he's away clearing landmines in Ukraine, so can't attend in person). 
    I'll be arriving earlier than usual for the match tomorrow, to join in the (assumed?) pre-KO remembrance.
    And I'll be wearing my nice new shiny 2023 lapel poppy alongside a few older ones over the coming days... f*** em, I say!

    Geriatram reacted to Mucker1884 in How do we get investment into the club   
    Wow!
    I’d say it was way too early in his tenure to come out with those sort of statements!
    First off, there’s the whole stepping in to literally save the club from extinction. Then the EFL spending restrictions/mutually agreed business plans. 
    Heck, in reality, it’s even (technically) too early to state that employing PW was a mistake, as he has neither succeeded or failed to achieve his target(s) thus far!
    No idea what other “not good decisions” you may be referring to?  🤷‍♂️
    … And your last statement infers DC has already been proven to have been a bad owner!
    I repeat… “Wow”!  😲

    Please dont try and speak on behalf of the fans.
    I'm sure there are many, like me, who do give more than 2 f**** about things other than just what happens on the pitch because we realise without David Clowes we would have no pitch to give 2 f**** about.
    As for hating the manager, grow up.

    I was at Saturday's game and to my mind it was a decent performance just lacking an end product and I said this at the time....it was far better than we had been playing recently and was a building block for tonight's game.

    Geriatram reacted to Day in Post Cambridge Warne Out Poll   
    Is it not time to put an end to these post match in or out polls, if you're going to swing either way based on a single result? I'm not sure what to say.
    There was a famous vote a few years ago, many didn't get the result they wanted and wanted to vote again until they got the result they wanted.
    This kinda stinks of that now.

    I remember the chant going round the ground, clough clough we've had enough, that wasn't Nigel it was Brian. And thinking about it I would estimate in my 68years of watching and loving the Rams I have seen them play over 2000 times, and Saturday certainly wasn't the worst I've seen by a long way.

    Morning thoughts - we travel from Cambs because we are Derby mad. We dont expect us to be world beaters esp where we're at just now but is it too much to ask for glimmers of where we want to be heading and a few shots on target? Excited on the journey to Derby after the gap but just felt so flat on way back. 
    True we have several injuries (luck or not?) and I am trying to be patient as really do think managers should be given more time and we need to build back steadily but all I thought yesterday on way back is we could have had a lovely late summer's day at the beach instead. Would say the style of football is losing me but you could see at times last season what PW was trying to do and it worked for a while but now it isnt a style as such as throwing people on to see what happens. I think PW has lost some confidence in himself as have the players and we are not playing as he wants as @Archied mentioned above. Still hope he can turn it around but looking less likely with each game.

    Carl will have a much better idea , if he's been several times. We went once, and were very central , in the seating, just behind the standing section. Raised enough for a perfect view. If I was going again, I'd book the same block. I don't think it could possibly be as good if you were around towards the sides. We're too old and decrepit to bother with standing, especially after traipsing round London for the day.
    Found the whole thing very impressive. Though it's an odd feeling , when you realise exactly what it is you're watching! Sound quality is awesome.

    For what worth, I think you are wrong. @Red_Dawnis not a guest, he has been a forum member for a great many years, creating and receiving some memorable posts which has made this thread an enjoyable read. You are basically advocating a thread where we have 100% opposition to Notts. What would be the point of that? I might as well stand outside my house and shout at a rose bush.
    Carry on Dawnie I say; this thread would be all the poorer without you, as it has been since Tigger was ejected.

    Geriatram reacted to CBRammette in The Paul Warne Poll   
    At no point did he say we had the best budget for league 1. He never said what we had in terms of £. We have no idea what proportion has been spent on wages rather than fees. How do you know how the budget was set and why? How do you know what costs are still coming out as part of the rebuild from administration? What teams publish detailed budgets to fans? Mr Clowes does not have to explain anything. 

    You ask how far we have fallen down - well not as much as we could have done following MM's ownership of the club and how he left us. Did you think we would just rock up in League 1 and all teams would truly be terrified of us and roll over rather than all want to win against us, the big fish? If its that easy to get out strange it took the likes our neighbours, Sunderland, Ipswich so long to regroup and do it.
    Strange you only voted until the end of the season given your thoughts on Warne, Budget and our saviour. I voted "not even questioning" the final option by the way before I am accused of being anti Warne realising its not quite so easy to get out considering our position from admin
