why do people have to be disrepectful in their chants, banter and having a go at a player is one thing but going beyond that is out of order. 
He is a good player Sharp no need for the nasty stuff. 
Thought we played well yesterday
 

It was vile actually, we were surrounded by people singing it all through the first half. We spotted some seats empty and moved at half time. There’s only so much I can take having the “c” word screamed in my ears for nigh on 45 mins, I’m not a Billy Sharp fan   but I’m not surprised by his reaction giving that the chant was insinuating underage and non consenting sex followed by “you’re a “c”, totally beyond football banter in my opinion.

His radio Derby interview was on as we got back in the car after the match, all going well until he managed to drop an eff bomb in! It was quite funny though, he was describing the performance today and said something like “we effing deserved it”! Thankfully it’s the only clanger he’s dropped  all season, long may it continue, I really like him, keep up the good work Kelle!

Really sad to hear this, I was lucky enough to see him live a couple of times, laughed all night. One of the greats.

I don’t use an app, I just had my tickets emailed to me, it was advised on the email to put brightness up, so good advice, I usually do have it on full brightness anyway so I can see it without my specs! 

I’m also a bit of a technophobe, I don’t own a printer so I got the phone tickets, I had 4 tickets on my phone and as we were in the queue to get in a steward told us to just go to the open gates and show our phone to the steward there. I showed him the four bar codes, no scanning and he just said “yeah that’s fine” and we went in. I could have shown him different tickets and we would have got in I think! 
That’s why I think the attendance was lower than it actually was, I’ve no proof but I thought it looked more like 17-18,000. There were loads of people not having their phones scanned so I think your brother in law will be fine in just showing his phone. 

Let me try this again, I was forwarded your post and just online replying to say thanks, and I appreciate the concern. Posted and the topic was merged and my post lost as I submitted it. Cheers mods.
I have an apology and what exactly has happened post which will follow the report from the meeting, I don't not can't want to go into detail now. 
What I would say is, this is not the clubs fault, anyone using it as a stick to beat the club with are doing so without the full facts, which is unfair and not helping myself personally as I try to fix the situation and get the information out to you.
I, David, has handled the situation poorly, been naive and been busy working my hardest to get back to you all with what you want.I would like to think that over the years we have built up some mutual respect, if you don't want to believe me that's fine, but please just stop until you have read what I put out.
You must also all understand that the club staff are ridiculously busy right now working long hours on other important issues, whilst I feel somewhat in limbo, I'm more happy that we have an extra 2 defenders in the squad than missing out as they need to read through my emails.
As for tomorrow, I am excited more than you will ever know, football is back, Derby are back, fans in the stadium, perfect.
I'm just gutted I can't be there, but I'm doing the next best thing, taking a flight out of here so I can watch on RamsTV with a. few beers that are chilling in the fridge.
Those that are going, regardless of your thoughts on the ownership, club, put all that to one side and get behind the team, we have a young team that doesn't deserve to play under a negative atmosphere. 
Drop any protests, Mel chants, anti EFL or anti and sarcastic Rooney chants, focus on positive support for the team, this is when they need us the most, the atmosphere is all on us nobody else, if we crush those lads with booing and all that baalocks, we will have to shoulder some of the responsibility.
I'm sorry for the lack of communication, I just didn't have anything to add and felt it would be best to stay offline. But please, regardless of what you think of me, the club, just read the above and take it from a fan that loves this club and wouldn't be saying any of this if I didn't mean it.
?
 

I’ve spoken to David, he’s done his report, sent it to the club to check it’s ok with them.
The clubs not managed to get it signed off yet. One can only assume that they have other pressing matters, players contracts etc if you read what Mr Nixon has said.
I’m assured that there is some further detail to what’s already been released by the Punjabi Rams and Jim Wheeler on Radio Derby.
I was worried that everyone was waiting with baited breath only for the exact info to be in David’s report that was already out there anyway.
Please try and see it from his side, he’s piggy in the middle, and wants to make sure everything is ok with what’s in his report.
As far as I’m aware, due to David having to leave just before the end to catch the last train he missed an agreement to let Jim Wheeler do a piece to RD this morning.
But, that’s not what we go to the charter meetings for. We go to ask questions and to report to our members, not be a face to a joint statement. 

David never put our name to a recent open letter to the club, and will never do so.
So please be patient, the timescale is out his hands, and he’s getting grief left right and centre on Social Media. In my opinion non of the other groups who were there are.  But that comes with us being the biggest group of Derby County supporters on the internet.
He’s losing his hair, what he has got doesn’t want turning grey.
 

No, sorry, that doesn’t wash.
Rams squad membership was £35. Yes the ticket was part of that which is great but that is how you build a fan base. All the other stuff that was supposed to be included, such as birthday / Christmas cards, were never received either but there you go.
You can’t sell something and then change your mind a year later without telling anyone. If they had said, ‘from the year 22/23 season we are stopping these season tickets’ then absolutely fair enough - their prerogative - taking my £550 and keeping it, based on me believing that I was carrying forward mine and my son’s tickets, then changing their mind without telling us, including an email received from them last week, when I asked them to clarify, stinks, whatever the price. Manners, transparency, honesty and common courtesy cost nothing. 

Bielik-Wilshere-Morrison will be the best midfield trio in the league. It'll only be a thing for all of six minutes, but what a six minutes it'll be.

If the pictures we have seen are from Saturday night I have no sympathy for Rooney getting himself into that situation, in this day and age you should know better with people just loving their social media attention seeking behaviour so more fool him. There is also the upset it will cause with his family and I hope they absolutely take him to task. However if he has  called the police as it’s been reported that the photos were taken without his knowledge then he has a right to be angry about it. If a high profile woman had found herself in the same situation and reported it I’m pretty sure that she would be taken very seriously and any men involved in “playing pranks” would have been arrested by now and made to answer, rightly so. I’m not trying to condone or justify his behaviour, as I said he really should know better.

If 4000 supporters donate the price of one match ticket £25 we would raise the 100k. I would gladly do it. Think it would say a lot and raise a lot of positive publicity if paid with an open letter to the press stating our disgust at the way the efl are behaving. Any money raised over the target sum to be donated to breast and prostrate cancer research. I would gladly pay.
