Black and White
What’s black and white and read all over?
Derby County football news.
What’s black and white and heard all over?
Loyal supporters’ views.
The beating heart of Derby city pulses through its club.
The family it weaves together creates a social hub.
From Baseball Ground to Pride Park.
The fans hold fast in light or dark.
Eleven players in the team.
Thousands watch and dare to dream.
However the season began. 
There is always hope for the Ram.
Derby will fight to the end.
Its  beloved club to defend.
The skill and passion on the field.
 True supporters who will not yield.
What’s black and white and felt all over?
Derby pride and loyalty.
So let’s get behind our club and keep them safe.
For without them there is no city.

Before I sign off the night and listen to the missus woes from work, just going to say this, don’t be angry at the EFL’s statement tonight, it’s a positive one for us and it clearly states their position which allows us to move forward with a high court judgment.
Whilst we might disagree on the side they fell into, it wasn’t totally unexpected and we’ve been desperate for them to come down off the fence for a while now, this is better than to continue stalling. 
Quantuma have what they need now, the EFL’s position and proof of funds to see us through the next couple of months, time for court. 

WHEN we get out of this mess, we get out of it a much stronger club and fan base. 
I've never felt so close to this club right now that I have done for the past 40 years - Something special will happen to us, I can just feel it. 
When great things happen to a football club, everything needs to tick and click and I think the last 4 months has made everybody more determined to see Derby County Football Club back where we want to be.
Like many have already said, looking up Pride Park Way yesterday is something that will live with us for the rest of our lives - we'll never drive up that road again without thinking about what we're going through and what DCFC means to us all. 
It felt like I was with 10000 mates and knowing I was going to see 20000 more. 

Feeling rather overwhelmed today as I am sure we all are..
Yesterday wasn't about the last minute equaliser, as much as it should have been, it was about the City coming together. 
A huge thank you to Ryan (chief organiser) and all the Marshalls that assisted on the day. A big thank you as well to Albatross Taxis who offered everyone 20% off for the march and also supplied me with a minibus for the day to get the flags from Pride Park to the march. Nice to see local businesses come together (they are owed money by the club as well) So many came together to make it a success.
We will never know the true number but when we arrived into town at 0945 I got a huge sense that this was going to be massive, just so many dotted about. As many have said Derby police saying just under 10k, that is nothing short of amazing. The view as I looked back over the railway bridge was something else and the drone that took the video, it was neverending.
Many highlights for me, the mayor lowering his hat to start the bounce and leading the march up the Morledge. Pauline Latham starting the bounce and all the local councillors and MP's marching, together.
When the march arrived at Pride Park the number of photographers was something else, not fans, proper photographers, it was flash flash flash..
I will never forget this for the rest of my life.
Be proud of our city and football club.
 
 

Left Bonn (Germany) at 11:30 last night. Train from there to Frankfurt, flight from Frankfurt to Stansted, three trains later and just about to get through the door.
If you could all keep the noise down tomorrow, that would be much appreciated, as I'll be pretty tired. Cheers.
