    It's very good that the various supporter groups have sustained their cohesion at this time, as the Supporters Charter Group.
    Being able to meet the Administrators will have conveyed the passion and unity of the fanbase to them.
    The team and the club needs that show of loyalty, and it is a good advert to prospective investors.
    It's also a representative body of fans that can remain in place to meet future new owners of DCFC to establish regular, open communication.

    Woodypecker got a reaction from RoyMac5 in Supporters Trust   
    All that the report conveys is the same EFL stance regarding DCFC that was conveyed in the EFL's meeting in July with the FSA (Football Supporters Association). The EFL meets reps from supporter groups across the divisions, twice a year.
    The meeting notes from that latest one have just been published, read here:
    tps://thefsa.org.uk/news/fan-reps-meet-efl-executives-july-2021/
    Interestingly, the two clubs represented from the Championship were DCFC and Reading FC.
    Credit to Pav from Punjabi Rams for putting the DCFC case. He clearly took on the EFL about the never-ending disciplinary proceedings, EFL attitude against Derby, the unfairness of the Derby <> Wycombe fixture-swap fiasco - but got told that no vendetta was proven, the EFL were transparent, they didn't control the duration of hearings, have to uphold rules, and blahh.
    Pav achieved pretty much the same as what Birch recently dribbled out during the recent Ed Dawes interview and the podcast(s) - and he no doubt felt the same frustrations.
    We will have to see how the DCFC Administrators marshall the facts, and stress the prolonged 'silent' punishments already inflicted by the timescale and EFL actions - like how the EFL unfairly applied their ' professional standing' and later, 'experienced players' squad  size rules to limit DCFC player recruitment/retention this summer - to help mitigate against further multiple penalties.

    Woodypecker got a reaction from Comrade 86 in Steve Gibson trying to liquidate Derby   
    We have to remember that the EFL's conduct in the DCFC disciplinary case has stoked media frenzies and emboldened gobby hypocrites like the Boro and Wycombe chiefs to dip their bread, to make a lot of spurious noise to allege misfortune caused by the 'guilty' party, their aim being to further damage a competitor. 
    * Dragging out the proceedings for over a year and a half, allowing a fellow club (Boro) to engage in actions against DCFC whilst the disciplinary case was in progress (thereby extending the torture for a year, though the actions were thrown out)
    * Drip-feeding negative updates to the media without consultation with Derby (positing 'alternative' Derby/Wycombe fixture lists for a Championship <> League One swap if a 2020/21 points deduction was applied)
    * Stating their 'regret' that their appeal resulted only in a £100,000 fine for DCFC's amortisation technicalities
    * Not reprimanding the Wycombe cowboy for publicly accusing DCFC of systematic cheating
    Now we're in administration, minus 12 points with the prospect of further penalties, most even-minded people would surmise that Derby had copped their just desserts and a reset had been enforced.
