May your matchday thread reign be long and prosperous next season!
Personally, I find @Comrade 86's matchday threads a little on the short side. They could do with more pages! 👀

Well done lads. Jokes aside that league can be tough to get out of.
Wish you the best of luck in your relegation fight next season x
Well, that's very kind of you sir, as it's more than we're wishing you in yours, this season! 😉

1/ Has the whistle gone yet? Do we have to go back to finish it off? 🤷♂️
2/ The "Stand up for David Clowes" had me welling up... as did his double lift of the trophy. ("Once more for the cameras please David"!)
3/ "Ok... erm... well... how about you agree to stay off the pitch until after the final whistle then? Deal?". That has to win the safety announcement of the year award! 🤣
4/ Visually, the scenes (on the pitch) afterwards looked stunning. But the atmosphere was lacking. Lots milling around wondering "What the heck do we do now"! Very little in the joyous celebration department was evident from the stands. Just a couple of ripples. Nowt special. I repeat... visually stunning.
5/ Disappointed with the lack of a lap of honour (No surprise there!), but so glad I hung back to the end, and watched (on the big screen) Mr Clowes lift that trophy. What. A. Hero. 🐏
6/ Yeah. After 49 years, it's up there. It's still means summat. I still feel it... which is nice!Now... where's that bottle of Emva Cream... Cheers, fellow Rams. 🍻

Sadly this will be my last match today. My first was in 1956 as a 13year old, My dad used to take me before that but he stopped going when we went down to the third division north. My mate and I would catch the 12 oclock bus from Melbourne and be the first in the ground. We stood in the Normanton end pigeon loft, I think it was 3 shilling. To this day I remember that team. We were champions in 1957 and I ran onto the pitch after the last match against Southport, Ray Straw scored 37 goals that season, The next ten years saw me start work, get married and have two children, I had moved to Derby, and after my family, the Rams were the most important thing in my life I never missed a home game in those ten years even though we were only an average second division side. And then in 1966 after England won the world cup my mate and I decided to have a season ticket, Little did we know what would happen that season, I was at work one day and a Rams supporting work mate told me we had signed a player from Bradford Park Avenue, his name was Kevin Hector I'd never heard of him but he was without doubt the most wonderful footballer to grace the Baseball Ground I had ever seen, and because of this we wanted to see more players like him which led to Tim Ward getting the sack and BC becoming Manager, what followed was ten years of unbelievable success and enjoyment. And then things started to go wrong off and on the pitch and I stopped being a season ticket holder during Peter Taylors time as manager, i still loved The Rams of course and when I turned 65 and retired my old mate from Melbourne and I bought season tickets again. But sadly covid left my best friend of 80 years with a dementia problem and he know no longer knows me. For the last two seasons I have been going alone to the match but its just not the same for me. Therefore I am calling it a day, as I write this I am welling up as I will do this afternoon. Thank you Derby County for every thing I will love you till I die.
Well, that touched a duct!
All the very best to you sir, and here's to you remembering today for many, many more years to come.

Do you think the match will also be reviting?
Should be, just as long as we keep the pressure on them, the fans shouldn't blow a gasket.
Time to make a bolt for the Championship, and seal promotion.🐏

I hate to be pedantic on a day that is meant to be all about enjoyment, spontaneity and emotion, but I've just had a horrible thought...
Will I seriously get in with these, or should I hide them down my pants...

Let him stand. It's been so long since he could stand, jump around and do the bounce without being in pain. He deserves his moment of happiness, and this time although he won't be with the people he loves (not in body, but definitely in mind) he will be celebrating with Brian and Peter, with Steve Bloomer, Reg Harrison...... and he will be just as infectious with them as he was (and still is) with us.
Oh, don't get me wrong, my sit down order was 100% for his own good. I never met the lad, but it was quite clear how bloody clumsy he could be! I worry for him, and it's a bloody big fall from up there! 😲

Looking on up to our spirt in the sky...
May our flanges flutter gently amongst the sighs from above.
May our ballions float heavenwards, and our day end in tears of joy.Today, we stand together. Hand in hand. There will be no absentees. There will be no dear departed.
He's with us... and we're with him.

Anybody get much sleep??? Wide awake at 5:30…
Only gone and "over lay" didn't I. 7am! I only normally sleep that long in a tent! Usually up between 5-6am. Must be the latest I've woken since October! 😲
Still... at least I probably won't nod off at the game today, so that's nice! 👀
End of season celebrations.
