In_The_Dark_Ram got a reaction from SKRam in Care about DCFC - how to email your MP
Aware of other threads, welcome the calls for action and petition - just placing some useful MP contact info in one place that doesn’t get lost within a thread – perhaps admins could compile a pinned/locked ‘DCFC Needs You’ post that gathers together the things supporters can do?
Emails to MPs DO make a difference.
Enter your postcode to find your MP: https://members.parliament.uk/FindYourMP
When you email be polite and include your address with postcode.
Here’s four local MPs – DCFC matters beyond the city:
1. Derby North - amanda.solloway.mp@parliament.uk - Conservative
2. Derby South - margaret.beckett.mp@parliament.uk - Labour
3. South Derbyshire - heather.wheeler.mp@parliament.uk - Conservative
4. Burton - kate.griffiths.mp@parliament.uk - Conservative
What to say? Up to you, be polite, but things like:
· The importance of the club for you, your family and community etc.
· How you feel the fans and city are being punished and EFL seemingly more obstructive than constructive to the future of a founding member of the league.
· Ask what your MP is doing to help save DCFC.
· Ask your MP to raise the issue with the EFL.
· Ask your MP to raise your serious concerns with Nigel Huddlestone MP - Minister for Sport, Tourism, Heritage and Civil Society.
Given the Middleboro FC claim is a big issue, if your MP is Labour perhaps ask them to raise this with the Middlesbrough MP - Andy McDonald
Given the Wycombe FC claim is an issue, if your MP is Conservative perhaps ask them to raise this with the Wycombe MP – Steve Baker
I’m sure others might have ideas, be useful to have a copy and paste email by someone who knows the details better than me.

Written to my MP. Suggest we all do this. The behaviour if the EFL is outrageous. Middlesbrough and Wycombe should be suing them.

In_The_Dark_Ram reacted to The Key Club King in If it goes pop what are you going to do?
Given the size of the city and the support we have, it's a given that there would be a phoenix club and it would be the same people going as those that are going now. Weirdly, part of me really likes the idea of starting again at a low level and the sense of community, pride and defiance that this would bring.
A bit like starting over on Championship Manager 01/02 having spent 20 years guiding Scunthorpe to Champions League glory. Completed it, mate.

Sunderland crowd was 31,033 for their League 1 game on Saturday, amazing support.

You're aware we currently can't pay any of our bills? Mike Ashley leaves Newcastle in a financially stable position.

In_The_Dark_Ram got a reaction from RadioactiveWaste in Derby County Administration (with the slight possibility of Liquidation still there)
Least we’ll get a decent sized half-time cuppa in those mugs

In_The_Dark_Ram reacted to CornwallRam in How many more points required?
Was released in the spring. Decent keeper, good at saves apparently but often static on crosses. Could save the club a fortune on catering though.

I would argue that's cobblers as Covid regulations were effectively ended on 19th July.

In_The_Dark_Ram reacted to dcfcgodd in The ultimate blame
This is the one of the most stupid posts I have seen on this forum. Nearly every fan of every club has this mentality to their team. It’s not the supporters fault that Mel went above his means and bent every rule in the book to chance the dream.

I was in the minority of keeping Nigel Clough. He was building a superb team and would have got us promoted on a ridiculously small budget.

Sorry Wayne, your time is up.
Mac III, IIII, VI I don't care which version we call on, just get it done.
3 games to go, one experienced manager on the payroll, no point him sitting in the stands watching the useless spud-headed Scouser take us down.
