Wsm-ram

So many thoughts and emotions at the moment.
I went into Derby to watch the huge, noisy, smoky crowd as they wended their way through the town. Flags galore and a positive, good-natured feel to the occasion. I was excited but dreadfully apprehensive about the final score. The energy from the crowd just had to lift the team and carry them over the line... surely? What could possibly go wrong?🤔
I listened to the match on Radio Derby. Once we had scored 2 goals I started to relax and enjoy the game a bit more.
When our lovely Max Bird went off I felt so proud of him, so sad to see him leave us and worried in case he was about to regret his decision to leave.
It wasn't one of our greatest games but it was bound to be a nervy game. Our opposition had nothing to play for and we had everything. Perhaps the players knew that if we won, their holidays in the sun had begun!
So sad that B4 wasn't with us physically to celebrate this wonderful party but I really hope that he is celebrating somewhere. I loved the 'Be More B4' displays round the ground. It reminded us of what a smashing guy he was.
I loved all the scenes of the players after the match, being carried on shoulders, celebrating with families. Their relief was palpable and so well deserved. Well done to them all for achieving this promotion and well done to every single member of staff connected with the club.
I felt proud of Paul Warne for what he has achieved. He is a nice guy and I like him. Whether or not he can take us all the way, I am grateful for what he has done so far, for his passion for the club and for his care of the players. I felt very happy for him today. He has brought a good ethos to our club which I'm sure was part of David Clowes plan.
After everything we have been through over the last 2 years, the sadness, the uncertainty, the anger, we have achieved promotion and tonight Derby fans will go to bed feeling very drunk, ecstatic, full of positivity for next season or may be apprehensive. I think our club is in good hands and I am so grateful for David Clowes for getting us to this place. He loves this club and I am so grateful and reassured that he will not take any risks with this club which he loves as much as we do.
Sleep well tonight, fellow rams. Like I said, it has been a day of so many emotions, but tonight is joyous and a time for some fizzy!! X
 
 
 
 

Pompey fan here -- many congratulations on your promotion! Very will deserved imho, classy club, classy fans. Best of luck next season and look forward to locking horns with you next time round.

There's likely a lot of emotions for Max, not least wishing he could share the moment with his Dad.

Wow!
I make it 6,104 days since we last stepped onto a pitch as a newly promoted team. That's a fair old whack. The wait is over my fellow ovine botherers. We've gone through the last 10 games averaging 2.3 PPG and top of the form table and to my mind, it was never in doubt.
One for the fans after all the grinding misery of the last 3 years, one for our dearly departed, but never to be forgotten B4, one for Clowes who wagered a sizeable portion of the Clowes family net worth to save this wonderful club and one for Warne and his merry band of men.

B4 ON TOUR

Feels like we can finally move on from all that trauma of the points deduction, the finances, the ruin 
Back up and back to normal! 🐏 

I’m so ecstatic right now what an atmosphere! what a season folks! I bet B4 is beaming up there ❤️🐏

Covid times, -21pts, relegation, threat of liquidation, it's been a rough time to be a Ram, thanks to the players, backroom staff and Warnie, Sir David Clowes we are on the rise. Come on you big beautiful rams ❤️

For my dad, for B4 - for everyone that supported a team not fashionable - this is for you. This is what belonging can do.
super Derby, super rams 🐏❤️

I did wonder, as the camera panned to him sat on the bench, looking at 31'000 fans who love him - does he regret his decision to leave?

Watching at home, and I dunno why but at the end, with the crowd on the pitch..they panned over to Igor in the stands and he was filming it on his phone with this inscrutable look on his face. It just totally got me...😭

Bit nervy first half but another solid display. Shed a little tear on the final whistle. So good when things go to plan. Well done everyone 😊🍾🍻🥂🏆

Well, as afternoons go, that was rather lovely.

Well done to Paul Warne and the team. Warne was brought in to get us out of League 1 and he has done so in his first full season, with our best ever points total, the best defence in the league, best goal difference in the league, a really great achievement!!

Cashin with a can of dark fruits in his hand…. @DarkFruitsRam7 that your doing?! 🤣 

Clowes in tears. What a guy

After the battering he’s been on the end of it was great to see Adams chase back the whole length of the pitch there.
Lads a class act!

Adams still 100% in the 90th minute. Gotta love that guy 👍🐏🐏🐏

And so it continues….

Really honest interview again after the game, especially the bit about having no chance if we dropped into the play-offs which is true.
I think you can get a sense of how big a rebuild is ahead next season too.
 

Congrats and thanks Paul warne , everything I want in a derby manager, class act,
some want football played in a certain way and have no interest in anything other than that ,even if it took us 10 years to get out of this league , that’s they’re choice and it’s ok with me ,
me ? I want seasons like this one , days like yesterday and owners , managers , players I can respect and feel one with in shared good and not so good times , 
I reckon both me and warnie are going to be walking our dogs today with a big smile and spending time with family knowing the value of both yesterday and today ,,,, hats off to Paul warne ,,, a proper football bloke and a proper person 🐏😀👏👏👏👏👏🙏

I wanted him gone after the Stevenage game. Never have I been so thoroughly delighted to be proven so wrong. He was tasked with a singular objective, get us up, and he's done it. Scenes like those today.....they're the stuff of Derby folklore. 

There some days that become unforgettable memories - today was one of them.
Thank you, Paul Warne, for doing a great job. Long may you continue to do so.
