Alright, who organised the Be More B4 message on the boards pitch side? 🥲

Love you, even though I’ve never met you!

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.     

Apparently the VAR official is called Bill, and he is elderly, so there is an obvious conflict of interest. Rioters are considering their options.

I’m just relieved Warne has rescinded that midfield dispersal order he had in place for much of the season   

If the police are heavy handed, can we invoke the dispersal order on them? Just asking for a friend.

Yes, the majority of us are older than 6, even though we may act like we are 6!

If it takes 16 years to drink, is it a bottle or a whole vineyard?

If they wanted to keep the pitch for football, then we'd not have hired Paul Warne.

You probably do🤣 but nothing changes the fact we all pay to warch Derby.

We warned Derbyshire Constabulary that the Chief Constable is a Forest fan before the game but they didn’t change him. Our patience has been tested multiple times. 
Derby County fans will now consider their options.

What a poor response.
 
 
 
... some of us have been here all week!  🤣

Those up in the upper stands will see soon enough as to whether they'll be an invasion, As fans will start to congregate at the bottom of the lower stands, My guess is there will be a larger contingent of stewards to "try" and stop any incursion of the pitch.
The South Stand and East Stand Lower will be where the "tidal wave" will come from...if at all
If promoted lets all enjoy the day...dispersal order/pitch invasion or not 😊 

We were promoted the first two seasons I had a season ticket, all seemed very easy. I even remember going to Villa Park where if we'd won we'd have gone top of the league. It's not quite been all downhil since then but I've definitely learnt to enjoy the good bits because there can be a lot of average inbetween.
I think the last time I was on the pitch was after the Southampton game (thanks Iñigo). Had been working in Swansea until mid afternoon, three trains and a taxi from the station got into PPS 10 minutes into the game - had to walk home in a suit that was totally drenched but it didn't matter by then.

Wish mash yoo tokkin baatt?

My wife was stood behind him at the till in the co-op in Allestree and both were geld up by an old dear trying to pay for her shopping with shrapnel, and Clough just reached around her and paid the whole bill for her!
What a guy!

As an employee of the Ministry of Justice, a criminal prosecution could cost me my job. Or it would if I wasn't retired!!!!!

If we do it, who's going to struggle to hold back the tears, with everything that's gone on in the last few years
