    I think it all sounds like witchcraft. What’s wrong with gathering the family round the Bakelite wireless?

    It does work via some browsers on smart TVs but not others. Just depends on how good the browser is and how modern the smart TV is.
     
    To counter @Tyler Durden I was able to Airplay the game tonight to my Apple TV box with no problems so could be option for next time.

    I’m sure I read on the website it doesn’t work on Smart TV’s.  Only via the App on a mobile device or browser on a laptop.  I’m on the laptop and hooked up to the TV with a HDMI cable ?.

    Devices
    Due to the EFL broadcasting rights, you will not be able to watch RamsTV through a television, other than using a HDMI Cable. All other means are strictly forbidden under this ruling. This includes any airplay devices such as AppleTV and Chromecast.

    Strangely, now we've been saved by St. David of Clowes, I'm really pleased, in the bigger picture, that we are now in Division 1.
    Back to old school football. Back to being a big fish in a small pond. 
    We tried, under Mel to turn up at the casino that was the Championship with a big F off stack of chips to intimidate other players at the table. Spent fast and loose - and lost.
    We needed a total reset and we got one. I can't lie, it's hurt. Being threatened with extinction was a very real prospect.
    Now we've cleared the football cache and cookies, we're back to a fresh start.
    I'm still haunted by the memory of all that money we wazzed up the wall. Even the least of the excesses was Anya. £4m and and £20k a week over 4 years, ergo £8m over 4 years. There were 4 or 5 others that cost £10m+ in transfer fees and salaries over 4 year contracts.
    £60m minimum wazzed up the wall on 5 or 6 players, not to mention our merry go round of managers that resulted in the amount of debt that threatened our very existence. Covid didn't help, but the aforementioned was the real problem.
    Certain individuals that had Mel's ear and were administrators at our club were also abusing their parallel self-interests as agents to sell us pup after pup.
    Now we're back to football reality. It's amazing what team we've managed to piece together on frees and modest wages.
    Loving our new reality. We can attract decent players at this level, where if we spend within our means, which is significantly above most of our competitors, we can perform well at this level. 
    If we continue in this manner, we can grow organically.
    What's not to love? A fantastic academy that should finance our rebirth. 30,000+ crowds, that again should finance our rebirth and perversely the EFL reining us back to a financial plan that we absolutely NEEDED. Didn't want, but definitely needed.
    Oh and being rescued by the 'quiet man of football' - DC.
    What a time to be alive! I'm falling back in love with football again.
    The only way is up...

    As long as a sponsor fits with the colour scheme I'm usually alright with it. Bombardier was a good one, simple black text. Just Eat was a bad one, a big red square slapped in the middle of the shirt? Nah, not for me.

    darren22 reacted to IslandExile in The positive....   
    So, we're starting to look back at Mel's tenure, the last few seasons and almost going out of business.
    I have to say that the threat of Derby County, the club that has been such a big part of my life, being liquidated was mentally and emotionally debilitating.
    Sure there are far more serious things happening in the world but I personally found it really tough to deal with.
    Nevertheless, thanks to many people - especially David Clowes, of course, but also Rooney, Team Derby, everyone at the club, and the supporters (more of them in a moment) the Rams have survived and can start to look forward again.
    So now, knowing that the worst is over, we can start to look back and pick out the truly good things that came out of the past year.
    The supporters.
    Unbelievable. Fantastic. Superb. Remarkable.
    There are no words that do justice to the pride I feel to count myself as a Derby fan.
    I'm so sorry that my circumstances meant that I wasn't able to be on the walk, at Moor Farm on relegation night or at Blackpool but my physical absence doesn't make any of those events any less than real stand out moments.
    The petitions, the lobbying, the campaigns, the support from other clubs' genuine supporters was outstanding.
    The togetherness though, between fans, players and club.... I've never seen anything like that before and I doubt we ever will experience anything quite like that again. Beautiful.
    Knowing that Derby County has come through it all and survived, I believe we can now look back and say "that was a great season".
    Thank you.
    COYR ?

    I don't want them to go under. I would never wish any club to go under. But beyond that, whatever happens to them might not be completely undeserved. I'd have sympathy and show my support for a lot of clubs if they found themselves in the position we did. Birmingham City would not be one of them.

    So...
    I went to the shop shortly after the announcement to grab some 'celebration juice' for tonight and met a guy in a Derby shirt holding a 4 pack of Bud and asked him if he was celebrating as well.
    'Celebrating what?'
    'Takeovers done mate'
    'Seriously?'
    'Yeah, just been announced'
    He then puts the 4 cans back on the shelf and picks up a box of 24 ?
    If you're on the forum mate, have a great evening!!!

    I very much suspect that had CK's money come through, the administrators would still be finding these "small numbers of outstanding issues".
    This is either the most complicated takeover in the history of the world ever or the administrators really aren't very good at their jobs.
    Mmmmmm..... ?

    I've seen glaciers move quicker than this contract signing.
    Please make it end! Everyone's nerves are shot to threads.
    When we get remarks such as, "we thank the supporters for their continued patience". It makes my blood boil! There is no patience left... It's all gone.... It's like the dead parrot sketch.... It's bereft of life, it's ceased to be months ago..... Fecking get on with it you bunch of overpaid useless fecktards!

    For me I don't think of other fans, I have no interest of other fans, Those that sang "we're gonna party when Derby die" are about as thick as they come.
    Not a droplet of a tear will I spill if one of those people who savaged us on social media, Sung about us dying, Or stole money from us with outlandish charges of foul play...go Bust!

    Angie afraid i wish for some of these toxic clubs to suffer, the press also have been toxic over this period of time.
    Will Mel send the EFL a writ when this is all over and he has nothing to do with the club, certainly hope so, will be good to see Parry and fit for purpose Ridsdale along with the rest squirm and have to answer the questions which we all have been asking, this cannot be swept under the carpet.

    I'd add Birmingham for their fans' behaviour at PPS last season.
    Massive problems of their own, protesting about their owner etc yet still (en-masse) sing the song about us dying, then at the end of the game start throwing things (including a metal e-cig which could have caused serious damage) at us.
    Absolute scum. Peaky blinder wannabe t****.
