    Shaftesbury st got a reaction from Grimbeard in Our own song (yes this again)   
    What about Elvis Presley’s - can’t help falling in love with you.
    Very apt at the minute for those that still sticking it out:
     
    Verse 1]
    Wise men say only fools rush in
    But I can't help falling in love with you
    Shall I stay? Would it be a sin
    If I can't help falling in love with you?

    [Chorus]
    Like a river flows
    Surely to the sea
    Darling, so it goes
    Some things are meant to be

    [Verse 2]
    Take my hand, take my whole life, too
    For I can't help falling in love with you

    We have been too nice but i’m convinced under this new Manager we aren’t going to be for too much longer.
    Just seen his Rams TV interview with a bobble hat on ( got to be a song in that )think he’s crackers and clearly has some charisma, what we need right now.

    Shaftesbury st got a reaction from Derby4Me in IS IT TIME FOR ANOTHER MARCH?   
    I think a march is pointless now the season is over, Quantuma aren’t even in the city and never have been.
     
    What I think is a good move is to dirty their company name, get it trending because their future business depends on getting this through too, they fail and who’s going to touch them again?? 
     
    So any tech nerds out there get it trending

    Shaftesbury st got a reaction from kash_a_ram_a_ding_dong in Time is now to let efl know our anger at them   
    When are Fans going to wake up and stop with this “ one of our own “ nonsense?. This is all on MM for his running of the club, his egotistical behaviour towards EFL….you poke the bear and you get mauled.
     
    I am pretty sure because of the evading of accounts being submitted that this could be a reason for the withholding of the £8.3 million others had. 
     
    Mel to blame and we will be league one next year so for a couple of years have a chance to build at last, it will be three seasons before we are back where we are now with an embargo. If we can get our heads round that we will have a chance to be semi decent again on and off the pitch.

    No it’s down a completely incompetent administration at the club. Why can others fill their stadiums and we must up half of what we normally get ? 
     
    It’s a shower of S……I got an email Sunday asking me to get my Boro ticket, luckily I had already got it.

    Shaftesbury st reacted to Gaspode in Have some supporters lost interest?   
    Good luck with the attempt at getting a refund - when it became apparent that they'd made such a pig's backside of sorting out tickets for the first game I emailed them asking how I should go about requesting a refund of my ST money (that they've clung onto for the past 18 months) - I'm still waiting for a response....
    Back in the dark days of the early to mid 80s (High Court, etc) I used to follow the team around the country; I've had a season ticket for the past 36 years; sat in the same seat at PP since the day it opened - and yet it seems that there's no-one in the club that gives a stuff about the people that make the club what it is.....combine that with the other crap that now surrounds professinal football in general and I'm right on the edge of walking away for good. It certainly seems that Derby County don't care about me - not sure why I should continue to care about them.....

    Shaftesbury st got a reaction from 1977 Ram Raider in Have some supporters lost interest?   
    I declined a ST refund and continued to pay my direct debit all the way through but still haven’t been this season.
    The club only has its self to blame, I will be going Saturday but if I am honest not really that bothered.
    Why do I feel like this? A number of reasons I guess which I would imagine are fairly standard across the board.
    I’ve kept my money in the club but don’t feel valued still, the communication has been poor. Ringing in to ask questions was dreadful, literally getting cut off so far down the line, that actually makes you feel like the clubs going bust in itself.
    I do know a few people inside the club, they say it’s a mess and has been for some time, whilst they don’t know major details or inside news they also feel undervalued.
    MM’s battle with the EFL has ruined us, he’s let his emotions get in the way of business and now we are paying for it.
    For the previous talk of the club being at the heart of the community it certainly feels very broken right now. 
     
    Managerial decisions have cost us badly, Cocu being the worst for me, it was THE time to forget promotion and get a man in to build. Get players from lower levels and really be cost effective with lowered expectations and just be honest with the fans.
    I may request a refund in all honesty as my desire has gone, we pay our money and we expect a well run club in return. Even the accounting situation as it stands makes me feel more pain is coming and then I can see very dark days returning as people will walk away. 
     
    If you are a fan who wants to carry on and go each week good for you, I may join you I may not but for those that don’t is does not mean they don’t love the badge any less, the relationship just needs a bit more time to repair before we go back.

    Shaftesbury st got a reaction from Taribo in Captain Tom Lawrence   
    Football has changed drastically over a very short period, the money involved and the clamour for ownership of certain clubs for financial gain is overwhelming.
    I get decisions taken by non football people but I don’t get decisions by those who know nothing else. We could say well they have loved this surely they know best. But we could also back that up with a life of football will leave you with no other grasp on reality, let’s face it “ all of ours reality “.
    So this decision to appoint Lawrence is beyond me, Rooney you have got this wrong. He’s never displayed leadership on the field, sulky, head down, at times disinterested in tracking back or even getting forward on some occasions. 
     
    The drink drive incident is still fresh in everyone’s memories, so I see no positives in this announcement. I actually think it’s a smack in the faces for fans, no respect for us in a way, I accept some may argue that’s nonsense.
    With what the club has gone through, the whole Country as well but particularly with our failed takeovers and lack of information from the club I see no real care or respect for us the supporters from within.
    Todays game is £10 to watch on RamsTV, now I e been giving the club my money each month right through the pandemic, still not had a penny back and they ask me to pay to watch it. A lovely chance to show their appreciation……lost.
    Still no takeover, i accept they are being quiet due to past failings but please don’t forget us, you can sell walk away but we can’t do that. 
     
    Don’t forget the fans, this club is going to need us more than ever in what is going to be a potentially worse season than last unless drastic investment arises.
    Personally and the point of this post, we need a Graham Shinnie as Captain on the pitch and maybe even a Shinnie type ownership…..a safe pair of hands that you can trust, not a troubled young man with potential that he consistently fails to show.

    Brentford operate on a totally different model to us, well publicised statistical policy on recruitment. Whilst this has proved financially successful it hasn’t got them promotion ( yet ) but I’ve no doubt it will. 
    The policy also means they will always sell one major asset each season, we haven’t always done that and have tended to hold on to players running down their value.

    Your analysis is pretty hard to argue with, Brentford are run so much better than ourselves in many ways.
