    Fantastic posts. @Archied really got me thinking. Football fandom is a very social thing. I try not to miss a single game, but celebrating goals and victories or suffering losses on my own just isn't the same. Fortunately a couple of friends texted me last week to say that they were coming to my home next  Saturday to watch the game with me and help me celebrate. At first I thought "well, ok", but now I'm really excited about it. Having friends with me (I'll also be thinking about my dad who left us two years ago) will make it so much sweeter. @B4’s Sister, I'm sure you and your family will shed a few tears at the final whistle knowing how your brother would be feeling. Let it all out, he deserves it.
    And please, please, please Derby, don't 🦆 it up.

    It was half jokey comment but with a little truth in there 😀 ,, we are derby county in a very different football landscape from the glory days I watched when young , for me warne is a breath of fresh air and been really good for our club , if some like his football and stop going it’s sad but hey ho , rather 22 thousand in pp right behind the club , manager and team , we pee all over some prem clubs in terms of money through the turnstiles, it’s all about big investment and tv money now🤷‍♂️

    @DarkFruitsRam7  As someone old enough to have witnessed 2 League Division 1 Championships, a victory over the 'ammers at Wembley, I can see you've managed the "tired and weary" bit. I've not always been enamoured by the style but we look like we've had sufficient good results, in a results based business, to have earned the step back up to the SBC. I've "accepted" the style as it's PWs tried and trusted method of escaping this League. It's a recipe that looks like it's going to work. Our 3rd ever stint at the 3rd level and looking like it'll be our 3rd 2nd season promotion.
    To all you young uns that haven't experienced the absolute brilliance of the sweet smell of success, I say, breathe it in, hold it in, commit every jump, every shout, every tingle of the spine, every hug from fans, most of whom you don't know to undeletable memory banks. I can still remember where I was when we won in '72. In the Swan Hotel, Burton listening to the L**ds commo on a transistor radio. There when we won it at '75 at Maine Road. Most other successes were enjoyed remotely as I moved abroad in '84. 
    Whatever your age, savour each and every moment. Next Saturday promises to be one of the best days of your life.
     
    COME ON EWE RAMS!!

    My Dad is in his 80s, so he’s seen the League titles, European run etc etc. He was alive when we won the FA Cup! But he’s so tense/excited at the moment that he can’t sleep!

    I missed the late 70’s glory years and starting supporting The Rams in the 70s so the mid to late 80s and late 90s are my glory years.  But if we get over the line next week it feels like this one would mean more.  I put that down partly to being a little bit older (not necessarily wiser!!) and the amazing turn round in 2 years.  2 years ago, we were a week away from going bust.  Now we’re a week away from a potential return to the championship 🤞.
    If it happens @DarkFruitsRam7, enjoy and saviour every moment.

    The problem with offering opponents the opportunity to take a draw is that football is full of cheats, and nobody can be trusted. 
    No disrespect to Carlisle specifically, or indeed their much respected manager, but they'd probably nick a winner in the dying moments, then point and laugh at us!
    Kill em off early I say.  Win, win, and thrice win!

    David Clowes rescued our club and appointed a manager who he believed would get us promoted back to the Championship.
    It looks like that bit has been done barring a ridiculous turn of events.
     
    What happens next? Lets leave it to David Clowes to continue to make good decisions, He's doing ok so far.

    My dad, who was a wood machinist in his early working life, made me a seat that slotted into the wall at head height in the old stand before they built the Ley Stand. Bloody Brian Clough bringing success soon buggered that up!
