    NewquayRam got a reaction from Deej in Fans not from Derbyshire...   
    I was born in Northampton and lived just me and my mum. I fell in love with football but she had no interest at all. My uncle supported Derby and in 1988 when I was 9 he offered to take me to a Derby match and see if I liked it. Southampton away 0-0. I was hooked. Not long after he got me a season ticket.
    A few years later they moved north so I was stuck not going, he would pick me up on the way to away matches like Luton and Watford etc and I appreciated it but it wasn’t enough. As soon as I was old enough to go on the train I had a season ticket again.
    When I was 30 we moved to Newquay and I cancelled my season ticket thinking it was too far to drive. A couple of seasons later I decided 600 mile round trip is not too far. I now have a season ticket again and my 9 year old is as much a Derby fan as I ever was.

    Watching since 1970 we have had a few good ones , Gladys , Bruce , Charlie , Gerry Daly even an honourable mention for Mark Pembridge but the best and never missed for the Rams was Ron Willems . Top corner either right or left right in the diagonal every time. Never thought he would miss

    NewquayRam reacted to LazloW in What do you prefer as a Forum Reader?   
    I prefer posters who are balanced. When there is something to criticise, they criticise; when there is something to praise, they praise. In the main I prefer positivity to negativity, but if there is justifiable criticism then I prefer reasoned argument to ranting and vitriolic hyperbole. 
    Whatever the stance on ‘wrist slasher’ Vs ‘happy clapper’ I think it is an undeniable truth that there are some posters who find a cloud for every silver lining and who will leave no stone unturned to find a way to have a dig at Mel/the club/certain players. Equally, there are some who get so upset at any criticism that reason can also go out of the window and we descend into the aforementioned happy clapper vs wrist slasher debate.  Super and uncritical positivity in spite of all evidence to the contrary can be just as off putting as the opposite (though easier to ignore in my case).
    For myself, I’m probably a glass half full kind of guy and have undoubtedly gotten into arguments on here with people I consider to be overly negative (though less so in recent years as I have grown up and realise you can’t win an internet argument so there’s no point). I also haven’t posted much recently because there isn’t a lot to be positive about and I’m certainly not going to try to persuade people otherwise (though I still occasionally try to put a less negative spin on some things).
    So, in conclusion, I prefer a forum without entrenched views, where people can observe what is happening, comment on it, change their minds as the context changes and do so in peace and harmony. Oh and I like puns too. Yes, must have puns.

    I’ve been confined to my bed for two days with COVID.
    Winning our first game of any description since April obviously caused great distress and left me vulnerable.

    Not sure I can get too sanctimonious about Rooney's so-called behaviour, given that at least one of the female participants seems to have deliberately targeted him, in order to further her "career" as an Instagram influencer. 
    I just think he's a bit silly to be relaxing in public after a long hard day at work. Probably been up since 5 am, had little to eat and a drink too many. Not entirely sure what else he has done wrong, tbh. As for those girls, as @David said "Ugh"!

    Sounds like you need to link the two accounts so you can order both tickets at once and then assign owners. I think we did that online when we first set our accounts up so it must be fairly easy.

    That’s incredibly annoying and quite frankly takes the piss. I specifically emailed the ticket office about this. I bought my season ticket and sons rams squad / season ticket (as in previous years) back in Feb 20, long before COVID was a thing in this country. I emailed the ticket office and they said that the ‘free’ season ticket still applied. Is that no longer the case then? So when did they change their mind? This week? Last week? Today?Why was this never explained? The communication is an absolute joke.
