eccles the ram

I’m so happy for David Clowes. The man is a hero for saving our club and to see everyone standing up for him brought a tear to my eye. It was amazing when he lifted that cup. The Be More B4 also really got me, I hope Daniel’s Dad and sister managed to enjoy the day, although it must have been so emotional.
Massive thank you to Paul Warne and all his staff. He’s not everyone’s cup of tea but he’s worked so hard and fully deserves this.
Wish my dear old Dad could have been there, but I was with my son which is the most beautiful thing. It’s the first time he’s seen us achieve something and he said it’s the best day of his life! 
I bloody love this club.

Big screen as well

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.     

Should be, just as long as we keep the pressure on them, the fans shouldn't blow a gasket. 
Time to make a bolt for the Championship, and seal promotion.

Looked at pictures of our beloved Baseball ground showing another sellout crowd. So many fantastic memories, so many brilliant matches,so many friends made. Today is the day that Pride Park can become the BBG by trying to duplicate THAT atmosphere. I really hope for all Rams fans,past and present,including the much loved B4, we do it in an absolute cauldron of noise. DTID.

Don’t be daft.
 
 
 
 
 
she waited 6 months and got it for a lot less!

Do you think the match will also be reviting?

Absolutely love that. Free seeds.

I'll be on the 9.58 train from Utch, arriving in the Merry Widows at 10.27.
 
I really don't know why but i feel incredibly excited about it. Maybe its because of how the club very nearly died just a short time ago and now, this is the turning point, the future under David Clowes seems secure if we can just do this today.
COME ON YOU GREAT BIG BEAUTIFUL RAMS

This.
So much angst, I am just enjoying the feeling that this is our Club, competing.
Missing Daniel and others who haven't made the journey with us.
Enjoy your day! 🐏⚽️
