I will go to 
You tell’em buddy. Will you still be going to games with your dad?

If the club sent me a season ticket renewal tomorrow it would be paid by the end of the day. 

We need away fans as well we cant be bloody scared of this sodding virus.

I sometimes think that the EFL won't cease and desist until they've put every member club out of business. Quite whose interests they actually purport to serve has become a total mystery to me ?‍♂️

Yes it is but its hardly a thriving metropolis in comparison. Leicester population 330k, Derby 250k & having lived in Leicester for a few years, I'd wager still that much of the population there (many of whom can be transient or temporary manual workers) don't follow the team. Compare with the big cities in the country (Leeds, Manchester, Birmingham) which are 1m minimum metropolitan area.
As to Leicester having a wider hinterland - they basically have a load of countryside & market towns to the south & east, not exactly hardcore catchment areas. To the North is Derby & Nottingham & to the west is Birmingham - they're going to struggle to get traction that side. They will undoubtedly have a bigger global footprint than us now but in terms of UK based support, I'd still fancy us to get similar crowds home & away even at our level.
As to your points about it never happening to us or the gap now too big - whilst we have a fluid promotion/relegation system, there will always be opportunities to move up the pyramid. The money gap has always been there but there will only ever be 11 men on a pitch & fresh ideas + complacency/poor management of established clubs will always see change. There are so many examples of clubs dramatically changing status in 5/10 years - we've seen it ourselves between 1966-1972 & 1984-1989. It can happen & it will happen again.

You mean as opposed to Mansour buying City or Abramovic buying Chelsea. Neither were exactly behemoths prior to their current owners taking over, were they?
Now the flip-side; Liverpool were priced at >£2 billion when last under offer and at that price, there's no great potential for ROI, least none that I can see. The only way is down. Would Tepper buy a club as a plaything, o do you suppose he might want to build the club and secure a return on investment?
Let's take emotion out of the equation for a moment; in the good times; we can sell over 30,000 tickets for games. Derby is effectively a one club City; we are a founder member of the football league who have twice topped the pile; we have a large and loyal fan-base and a comparatively rich footballing history.
Furthermore, I'd venture it is the very fact that we are in such a mess that makes us an attractive proposition. I struggle with the fact that so many fans are unable to grasp the notion that you buy stock when it's cheap, not when it's already peaked. Why one shitty season, when we've been challenging for promotion for nigh on 10 years now, is being taken as the only viable metric.
We know there are multiple bidders currently and this without the EFL charges being put to bed. Surely there's a clue there for those who choose to see it? I've very little doubt that a consortium that brings the financial wherewithal of Tepper and the commercial skills and experience of a man like Glick, would be able to steady the ship and put us on back on a road we were already treading until 18 months ago without too much bother. 

New Centre Half ? ......is he German perchance ?

Or Chorlton and the Wheelies.

Hoping for maybe a Welsh club away?  Even amateurs would do.
 
I'm thinking how nice it would be to be watching us play Tywyn away!

Grass

Height, intelligence, pace, experience, bravery, leadership, commitment, quality  and aggression. Other than that, not much. 

Spot on. The gravy train has come to the last stop. Same for most clubs.
it’s gonna be a wake up call for some players probably having to take contracts well below expectation. 
Hated watching some of these over paid prima-donnas these last few years. The days of the likes of Hindmarch, Buckley, Sage, Williams etc. when they we’re putting themselves on the line and literally fighting for the club (in the goalmouth v Stoke). It seemed to mean more.
Gangway D from the terrace

Wazza’s haircut is.
“But there could be hope on the horizon for Derby with Morris in discussions with a US group who have experience in sport”.
I hope it not croquet, although it may up our tempo.

Came out to do or say what? A song and dance routine? Hamlet's soliloquy? (alas poor Bloomer, I knew him well.)
You've been asked several times now, what specifically do you want them to say? or what would you have us supporters do?

I gave up arguing with you a few days ago simply because you just wouldn't say what actions you want us fans to undertake. However, you still persist with your rallying calls that we fans come together and demand answers.
So, as a starting point, please can you list the questions that you want answered.

Erm the point was are you peeved that owner and top management have stopped meeting YOU and keeping YOU in the loop ??‍♂️
pretty much what your doing here telling fans on a forum they should be worried but not prepared give info ?,
I get your angry ,,, the point you miss by miles is that we are where we are NOW and your trying to round up a gang of pitchfork wielding fans to achieve ????

Ok ,, let’s say for instance mel comes out and says he really doesn’t know in this climate that the club is going to be ok and he needs to sell for whatever reasons to whoever comes up with the money ,,,,,,,,,, what do you suggest us fans do and how does said statement serve the club?

So the result is an extra ten people have the answers on the vital stuff that concerns most people but can’t really reveal to the fanbase , pretty much like mel and Stephen now ??‍♂️, we then have the scenario of people saying you would / should be worried if you knew the full picture but I/ we can’t really tell you,
I think it’s great you are concerned for the club , we all are in the main but what your expecting and asking for is totally unrealistic, that coupled with the clear fact that the owner you have the concerns about wants out as quick as he can now anyway ,
im at a total loss as to what your trying to achieve??‍♂️

The premier league spends billions with abandon yet the leagues aspiring to join this ‘elite’ are kept in their place, ensuring a gulf in quality exists between the two. 
 
It’s not Football Fair Play. It’s cronyism protecting the top teams.

Well, a few days ago we had a statement expressing disappointment at the way the season went. Plus we've had Mel saying that he will continue to fund the players wages. How much more we can expect to hear via the official DCFC website is debateable.
