This may not age well. ?

I'll be dragging myself away from this
 
For this. So no and no
 

Unfortunately you've got the right end
 

Markeaton Park has changed

It's all about working from home nowadays ?‍♂️

I wanna see people walking to the ends of the earth to be there today.
I wanna hear about folk smashing up their piggy banks, for their literal last penny, to donate to the cause of DCFC.
I wanna read about real fans, jumping over the moon in order to attend today's game.
I wanna see soldiers of the Rams Army yomping barefoot across the Sahara, just to cheer on our heroes in Black & White.
... Or at the very least, amble along the 30min/1.9mile route from down by the cricket ground, past Costco, and straight to the NE Corner, and cash in their freebie season ticket barcode thing... like me!
Hey, that's still commitment, right?  ?

Isn't it about time you moved to Gibraltar? You wouldn't have to purchase flights every other week then?

Great result for us last night, both Bournmouth and the baggies drop points.........I will start a relegation watch thread when I see what Cov and the dogs do.

Before this thread gets into a contest about who is the better fan ….
This season we really do need to fully adopt the siege mentality as supporters and players together. Millwall like to do it, the difference is that everyone does hate us at the moment (including most of ourselves).
 
So during the game let’s forget about the way our club is being decimated and focus on appealing vociferously for every decision - including ones we know shouldn’t really go in our favour- back the players even if we go behind and let the EFL know exactly how we feel. It’s us against the world - make Pride Park as hostile as it can be for visiting teams, you never know, it might make the difference.
 

Summer always sees lower crowds - its peak holiday time and many will be away especially those like us ahead of both sets of exam results unusually next week, some will be committed to playing cricket for a couple of weeks yet (how dare half fans do something with their time) and surely this year the pingdemic/covid cases/caution will affect numbers a little or a lot. Also unfortunately some will just have got into the habit of doing something else they enjoy more on a Saturday.  Many also cant afford it each week especially if wanting to attend with kids. It is a very expensive day.
However, some of you please stop the superiority if you are lucky enough to be able to go each week. And yes I mean lucky. Many cant do that ever or at certain times of their lives. Doesnt mean "these plastic half fans" dont refresh their phone every 2 seconds waiting for news, get butterflies leading up to the game, feel jittery for every second of every game and be depressed/grumpy when we lose.  season tickets wont work for us this year but we will be there whenever we can home and away and we are not less fans because of it

Must be a certain type of bloke thing (not sure that’s a positive though!!!) because I thought exactly same as @richinspain???

Nice to get a relatively positive article for a change. 
I know what Tom has been through, having lost both my parents as a teenager; glad I didn't have to mourn and live though my mistakes in the public gaze.
I so want him to succeed as captain and help Derby to better times. 
Good luck, Tom.

I read @iRam's post and thought three goals and attacking football. 
God only knows what you thought but you need to get out more! ?
