Amazing support yet again last night. Both home and away this season the fans that bother to turn up are busting a gut to get behind the lads. And deservedly so with the performances there putting in .Wayne  has certainly got them all playing for our great club . It’s time fog the missing flock to turn out and get behind the lads starting on Monday it’s not over and we’re not down yet 

Fair points but I am sure we could muster a few more to join us . I am no spring chick and agree about night games it’s a trek  for us also especially in winter . certainly not calling out anyone who can’t afford but would love to be there far from it . times have been hard in the past although no covid . 

Can't abide the crap Collymore song, it had a time and a place and that was a long time ago......
The issue with the EFL song, is that it is clear to see that it was MM that was the biggest problem,  I'm not defending the EFL and can't wait for Tracey Crouch to sort them!
I'm not the only 1 that thinks the above and that's my point.
It's just that this song is the only one the whole grd should be willing to get behind, irrespective of age, background and drunkenness 

It's about time some of the no shows got over whatever it is that's stopping them coming to games (unless it's cash or health concerns of course) and support our team but, in truth, it doesn't really matter in respect of atmosphere because we've got the best support in the division right now. 

Taking 2 people to their first ever football game for this one - my nephew and father-in-law 

Hoping to come to this one. My first of the season. Of course Bradley Johnson will score, but I’m hoping we’ll win this one.
If we’re gonna climb out of the hole then we need to beat teams like this at home.

after far too long i'm finally able to make the trip up again, beyond excited for this coyr!

After far too long I'm finally off to a match with my son. All recovered and in (almost) one piece again!
 Tickets all safely downloaded and printed, REALLY looking forward to it! Its been far too long!
 
So...here's hoping the atmosphere in real life is as good as it sounds on the radio and I get to see a win!

Never bet against the rams 
2 0 win 
Lawrence first goal 

Yay, I’m going to this!! After a brain haemorrhage and then lockdown I thought I’d never get to PP again. However, I’ve recovered really well over the summer, especially worked hard to improve physically and my partner is letting my son take me to the match - he’s much more worried than I am!
So, Rams, I’d appreciate a good performance and a win - though whatever happens I’ll feel like a winner just getting there.

Great idea 
could it be worked as a raffle in any way say £10 per ticket with ten names been drawn as winners not sure how moneys could be collected but I would definitely have a couple of goes

Im a pensioner, got a season ticket but cant afford to go away, wish i could. Must be alot of fans that cant afford to go away.

Ok so a little time before the next home match. Given we know that there has been some genuine interest in potential new ownership its fair to say there would be some representation in the ground for home matches going forward.  How about a show of support for the club with something like a minutes applause in the 18th and 84th minutes to honour the year we were founded 1884. Standing ovations would be more potent. I know the atmosphere has been great lately but might just highlight the loyalty of our fan base and prove we are with the club through thick and thin. I know we show support by being there and all show support in many ways but anything extra the Derby Army can do might be good for solidarity and show we are all in it together.  Bit of time to get the message out there but im no expert in how to do that! Someone with media links or maybe the club itself getting involved? If its been mentioned elsewhere apologies I dont post much but just thinking of something different.  We do it to commemorate people passing ar certain times but this is to show we are very much alive and kicking!

Keep politics out of it and this person is very warm and friendly helpful and very clever
great to talk too 

Hi Ramrob. I’m Ipswich born and bred but been a Rams fan since I was 10. 
I also live just outside ipswich and know a dozen or so other Suffolk based Rams. 
It would be great to meet for a drink sometime, I’ll drop you a message soon. 

I am writing this, largely out of frustration, but I feel I need to get it off my chest.
My dad was a season ticket holder for 50-odd years and he died of cancer in September. (I joined him as a season ticket holder from 1987)
He had renewed his ticket for the 2020-21 season before the pandemic hit which was carried over into this season.
In April, when he knew he was too poorly to go again, he wrote to the ticket office advising as such and would therefore prefer a refund to the ticket for 2021-22.
He received a response saying that the club could not provide a refund as the deadline had since passed.
As a result, I wrote to the club in July to see if an amicable solution could be found to transfer his ticket to my friend who would pay the difference from a 65+ ticket to a standard adult one, then paying my dad for the rest of the ticket.
I heard nothing.  I chased again twice and still heard nothing.
In an attempt to try and sort it out before the season ticket deadline (after my dad had recently died and after Derby had gone into administration), I went to the ticket office and was advised the process would be that my friend would have to buy the ticket in full and my dad could get a refund on his seat, due to his death.
I therefore paid for my friend’s seat (which was my dad’s seat) in full for my friend and gave details with regards to getting a refund.
This week, the SLO contacted me to say that it would be possible to upgrade his seat to my friend and to contact the ticket office accordingly, in response to my email sent in July.
When I explained what I had already been told by the ticket office, I received another email advising that due to the administration events, no refund could be given at all.
So, Derby County have taken my dad’s money and my friend’s money for the same seat, have given me conflicting information and are now reneging on returning my Dad’s refund (which would have obviously gone to my mother).
I have requested that I get his season ticket back but for a different seat, as I can either bring someone else, or sell it on to recover some of the cash, but have had no response so far.
I can’t express how poorly I have felt Derby have handled this, (effectively costing me over £300) and it shows how much they valued my dad as a “customer”, when their lack of providing the correct information or acting in a timely manner could have seen this resolved.
Overall, I’m really saddened that this becomes my Dad’s final legacy with the club that he loved.

I do work for an ex MP
i won’t mention any names 
but eggs might be a clue 
I mentioned the mess that we were in and as expected no sympathy so there we are 

What politics ??

The Rooney chant at every game is an absolute embarrassment. The man has a wife, kids, a family. Absolute disgrace our own fans are singing that about our own manager.
And yes, the Billy Sharp thing is equally bad. The problem is these drunk, young, probably drug fuelled idiots saw a viral video of the West Ham fans singing this about Ronaldo and they are that original and funny, thought they'd sing it about 'insert ex Forest player here' at our next game.
They'll sing it again tonight I'm sure as a result of his reaction.
Which btw was absolutely fair enough, i'd have done the same. Again a man with family, wife, kids probably at the game having to listen to that? Grow up kids.

It seems everybody in this forum agrees that the is vile and embarrassing behaviour at Bramall Lane by some Derby fans was unacceptable.
Of course a few won't really, but I highly doubt they will have the guts to say so in here.
A lot of people are growing to dislike us as much as Leeds were disliked in the 70s (and ever since tbf) and other clubs at various times like Millwall, Man U and Hope Valley Under-15s. Although the last one may be more personal tbf.
What Morris has been doing it entirely out of our control, but what those around us do, isn't.
For example, if a particular abusive chants start up, the majority could respond with something counter.
I don't mean Kumbaya, although that may very well work, or Imagine by John Lennon, although that too may work, but something like 'your're knobs and know you are etc'
Not that, clearly, that's lame, but something agreed on.
Plus, if fans en masse started filming the morons on their phones and the word had been put out that they'd be reporting to the club and/or Police it may help.
Obviously, I don't want anybody getting hurt, so be careful. And I'm happy to hold somebody's coat at the back if required.
Back in Cornwall that is.
We have to make these people thoroughly unwelcome because whereas they may not care when they're high or drunk, they will be after and/or before.
What they are doing is often illegal, and in all seriousness, it is up to us to do something about it if it's to change.
I almost want to adopt Millwalls chant of 'Nobody likes us and we don't care' but I'd be lying, I do care and I'd like Derby to be admired and respected rather than despised and mocked.

Knowing Derek all my life he will continue supporting the Rams from where ever he is now a true gentleman 
RIP Derek
