Thanks for the kind words, gang.
My understanding is that we’ll carry on as we are next season, but there will be no more UK streams due to the new TV deal.
That’s subject to change, of course. I’m sure we will look at what we do and how we do it as the dust settles, so we’ll have to see.
But it’s been a great ride, eh?

Hope my stats are correct but I thought I’d look at the average attendance for the mighty Rams promotion from L1 compared to the L1 promotion season from that team where they made frilly pants.
DCFC 20/23 - 27,278
Trees - 07/08 - 19,956
As the great man said Nottingham never has been and never will be a footballing City !
COYR !
 

Full of energy, but does little creatively or defensively. Barely good enough for League One, let alone the Championship.
Sorry - just my opinion.
 

Not at 34 and a division above. No time for sentiment this summer. 

Sadly this will be my last match today. My first was in 1956 as a 13year old, My dad used to take me before that but he stopped going when we went down to the third division north. My mate and I would catch the 12 oclock bus from Melbourne and be the first in the ground. We stood in the Normanton end pigeon loft, I think it was 3 shilling. To this day I remember that team. We were champions in 1957 and I ran onto the pitch after the last match against Southport, Ray Straw scored 37 goals that season, The next ten years saw me start work, get married and have two children, I had moved to Derby, and after my family, the Rams were the most important thing in my life I never missed a home game in those ten years even though we were only an average second division side. And then in 1966 after England won the world cup my mate and I decided to have a season ticket, Little did we know what would happen that season, I was at work one day and a Rams supporting work mate told me we had signed a player from Bradford Park Avenue, his name was Kevin Hector I'd never heard of him but he was without doubt the most wonderful footballer to grace the Baseball Ground I had ever seen, and because of this we wanted to see more players like him which led to Tim Ward getting the sack and BC becoming Manager, what followed was ten years of unbelievable success and enjoyment. And then things started to go wrong off and on the pitch and I stopped being a season ticket holder during Peter Taylors time as manager, i still loved The Rams of course and when I turned 65 and retired my old mate from Melbourne and I bought season tickets again. But sadly covid left my best friend of 80 years with a dementia problem and he know no longer knows me. For the last two seasons I have been going alone to the match but its just not the same for me. Therefore I am calling it a day, as I write this I am welling up as I will do this afternoon. Thank you Derby County for every thing I will love you till I die.

So you can get fined for not playing a strong team in the EFL cup vs the likes of Sheffield Utd u21s when you are unable to still qualify from group, but you can play a joke team in League One meaning another team can go down?

Harrison Burrows contract is up at Peterborough at the end of the season. Would take him in a heartbeat, superb LWB.

A definite no for me. Not been good enough all year for me, being made of glass hasn’t helped either. 

Watching on ifollow, Bolton look absolutely dog s****. Shrewsbury deserve the lead 

You are right they do. That pass straight out of play just now! 

And that, in a nutshell, is precisely why he has to go.

Warne couldn't have done much last night, however think he's thrown Collins in way too soon to be starting - looks nowhere near fit enough.
NML is another who Warne hasn't got the b******* to rest for a game he looked off it for a good 6 or more weeks and yet is being run to the ground.
Then bringing on lightweights like Thompson, who offers absolutely nothing, ditto Hourihane whose Jacob Butterfield mark II with the Barnsley hype from a decade ago and yet nowadays does little in a tinpot league like this.
Kept hearing RD saying how strong the bench is, it really isn't! Not in 2024 - very few options I'd consider game changes.
Gayle is the one we need back ASAP 
 

Not a doom merchant but the game management is shocking, play with no urgency or tempo. Terrible substitutions and tactical decisions. It has been the same all season. I remember Warne saying he loves a good throw in yet we must be the worst in the league at them  
We’re second in the league but on the whole a forgettable season with very few highlights. How many promotion worthy performances have we put in???
So so so disappointing. To say we have a team who know what it takes to get out the league and fail to take advantage against teams like Northampton and Wycombe is inexcusable. 

Absolute f****** disgrace,
even if we somehow get promoted I want that bobblehatted Bamford gone.

A point isn't awful? Now it's out of our hands and we are playing catching up with Bolton,  they have a game in hand and can go above with that game , pathetic 

Dwight Gayle in this side we'd be minimum 0-2 up. 😪

Isn't anywhere near as cringe as "its in ya DNA youth"
