Born in Yeovil to parents who were born and raised in Yeovil as were their parents before them...... 
Father moved us up to Chellaston in 1965 (age 2) through work whereupon my Yeovil born and bred mother was so overcome with the emotion of the place she packed her bags and left for Aus with some random pick up and we haven't heard from her since. 
Father meanwhile met a girl at Rolls Royce whose father was part of the boot room staff at DCFC at the baseball ground. They were married in 1970 and moved us all to Belper. The folks are still there. 
Got a few tours of the dressing room in the early 70s. Stepmothers dad sadly died young in 1973 but our links to dcfc grew out of that relationship. 
I haven't lived there since the mid 1980s and we've been in South Hampshire since 91. But still get to games where I can and drag junior along as well. 
 

Would love to see the young lads play an absolute blinder today, especially Cashin.
Imagine if (part of) the solution to our CB problem was under our noses the whole time ?

Not Derbyshire, not Englandshire, south of France and somehow ended up in Derby.  I go by a simple rule whereever i end up, i go and watch the local team. Stafford Rangers, Leek Town, Port Vale (never lived in Burslem  but there was a cracking Balti nearby) and now the Rams. Never been accused of being a glory hunter. Having seen my country win the WC and Euros, seen Messi play and score, seen Iniesta, i just have one wish on the football bucket list, see the Rams win the FA cup, not bothered about PL, just the FA cup.

Ha!  I was born in Derby today in 1959!! Happy Birthday @ziggyram59 ??

London born and bred.  Was a mass murderer in a previous life and now have to support Derby in this life as penance. ?

Born in County Durham today in 1959, moved to Nottingham in 1961 as my Dad was a miner had a neighbour who originally came from Ilkeston who took me to my first Derby match in 1971 under the great Clough and Taylor team and was hooked straight away, I was lucky to see 2 championship winning teams and European night's in the 70's. Then saw the decline in the 80's whilst Forest won the League and European Cup under Clough and Taylor. But even though I've lived in Nottingham since 1961 I could only ever support Derby. Come On You Rams. 

i was born in Reykjavík, i have never been to Derby, what am i doing here?

Born in Mundubbera Queensland, dad was born in Derby but his mother abandoned him aged 2, and his brother while their father was fighting in WW2. They were put into a orphanage but when that was bombed they were sent to an orphanage outside of Melbourne. They were told they had no family in the UK. First heard of DCFC when they won the title in 75 and dad said that was where he was born. First went over to the UK in 2006 to start looking for relatives in Derby but as it was usually summer never got to a game. We moved over and worked out of London in 2014 and went to a Fulham  away game and got hooked with the atmosphere. Craziest time was flying over for 6 days for the Villa final.

I’m a Londoner now living in Kent. 
All my family were Arsenal even though Millwall was more local and my hero was Charlie George and have a pic of me wearing an Arsenal shirt on my 7th birthday 
I had pics all over my wall of Charlie and in the playground before school I was always Charlie in my head in the game
The game would usually be the latest big game so Derby were quite often selected in the playground and I remember it once being Derby v Real Madrid and Charlie had now moved and once again I was playing as CG so my allegiance to Arsenal wained and I became a Ram 
I saved my paper round money and went to my first game at 15 on my own via train and that was it ….hooked ….
since then go to most games home and away sometimes by car sometimes by rail but always loud and supportive 
ps I often wonder what would’ve happened if Charlie never made the move to the Rams 
I certainly wouldn’t have clocked up the thousands of miles I’ve done but love this club and hope for better times as recently have found myself quite down about how and where we are heading COYR

I was born and bred in East Ham, East London. I should be a West Ham fan, like most of my mates and, indeed, I grew up watching the ‘ammers at the Boleyn ground.
However, my grandad had other ideas for me.
Hailing from Burton and from a family of Derby fans, he was old school, had the Derby tie, Derby tea cup, he grew my roots in the Rams and when they came to West Ham, I knew where my loyalties lay.
So, other than a dozen or so visits to the ground, I know nothing about Derby as a city; I grew up in London, migrated to Sydney and then moved back to the U.K., where in now live in Torbados, Devon.
So, I’m not from Derby, but I bleed Derby! ?

Born and raised on the West Sussex coast, but my Grandparents were, from Codnor Loscoe, my Grandad walked to the Kent coalfields in the 1930s to find work, and never went back! He used to talk about Derbyshire and let me read a magazine he used to get which I think was called 'ey up me duck', was a Rams fan from about 1976 first saw them at the Goldstone ground, approx 1979! Maybe it's my fault, they've done duck all since I've been a fan!!! Sorry! ??

Always had you down as a Wether. 

Olympic sports that aren't Olympic sports. 
The Olympics needs to be the premier event in that sport for it to be included. Sailing, BMX, badminton, rowing, swimming, athletics, shooting, hockey, gymnastics etc.. All good.
People crowd funding for their one chance to shine, amazing dedication..wow. 
Tennis? Football? Nah.. 
But in particular.. Golf!!!?? Jesus wept! Boring as hell to watch anyway ...but seriously...watching it now and it's so clearly out of context with the games. Four days worth of multi-millionaires poncing round in an event they don't give two hoots about. 

I once read a short piece that summed up my experience of the difference between introverts (like me) and extroverts:
Introverts find being around people exhausting and need alone time to mentally recharge, where as it's the opposite for extroverts.

Oh, she knows.

August the 1st 2020 I weighed 16 stone 7 & 1/2 lbs. This morning I weighed 14 stone & 1/2 a lb. Hit my target of a 2 & a 1/2 stone weight loss.
Now I know others have done even better, Eddie & Sage spring to mind but it’s a big deal for me to go from a borderline diabetics reading to a normal one. I’m well chuffed. 

Someone has nicked my seat even though I have it as a season ticket holder. Why couldn’t the club let STH retain their seats?  I spent well over £500 for it. It’s a stupid decision by the club.
If all seats are up for grabs it should include the directors box seats as well. See how they like sitting elsewhere. 

Last nights Beef Wellington. Wicked. 
 

I don't get the hate?
Joined us for free, is probably leaving for free, a shot to nothing that didn't work out.
He's a kid, I wish him well.

I think Union is much bigger overall in the UK, even if it's only really wales where it's the everyman sport, and some weird parts of the borders, but where Rugby league is played, it is everyhting to those towns (e.g. Whitehaven and Workington, St Helens, Wigan and so on) - but the rugby league has always been rooted in the working class - it became professional because the people playing it couldn't really aford to lose the satureday's wage (or that's what I'm told). For my totally non-expert view of the games, league is much quicker more fluid sport, union has more all round challenges, but can be very dull and grinding, especially when it's not being played with international skill.
Lions? It's a tradition I suppose and seems to be big deal for those involved, and I suppose it's kind of  a bgger deal than the individual unions organising their own summer overseas tours.
And yes, I'm not sure where/who you hung around with in london, but football is pretty universal across the uk, but then facebook and childhood obeasity appear to more popular tha playing with a soccaball.

Completely different sports. I remember when I lived in West Cumbria I was taken aback by the live of rugby league (and the ever vital quest to prove its them who are the jam eaters)
It's fair to say Welsh rugby union isn't posh, but certainly English and Scottish rugby union is a certain demographic.
As a veteran of the "fatties wimps and weirdos" group in PE I never really took to rugby...
 

Rugby league is the working mans sport. Rugby Union is for private school boys that can’t tackle. I’ve been involved in rugby league all my life and I don’t get Union, really 2 completely different games. We’ve bought in Australian  rep forwards in Union to league and they’ve been lucky to play to 3rd grade standard.

After years of work and research here it is !
The Derby County shirt worn in the inaugural season of 1884 by the pioneers of our club, Cambridge Blue, Amber and Chocolate Brown the first colours of the Rams, it was thought that the early colours were blue but it was a shade of blue called Cambridge Blue which is actually more of a green. The badge was the badge of the Derbyshire FA that a player was permitted to wear if they had been selected to represent the Derbyshire FA.
we have had two made by a local tailor after we sourced the correct colours and the materials, the embroidery was done separately, even down to mother of Pearl buttons, it is to add further integrity to the book but moreover to show where the club evolved from, the team that wore these colours set the precedent for all those that have followed, the shirts will be on display at our Rams Heritage roadshows later in the year.
brought to life after 137 years by Phil Lowe & Jason Shardlow.

Is it to much to ask fans to pull together a bit more at the moment the club needs us most? Some comments at the moment are pretty awful tbh. 

You mean the group of elites that have benefit the most from the pandemic and are in no real rush to see it end?
