Van Der Laan winner in ‘96, Oakley Man of the match in ‘07.
Gotta be Hourihane with one final magic swish of his left foot, surely? His legs have gone but he’s still a genius in the final third.

I know we like to reminisce, so here is a new interview with Robin Van der Laan, who scored the goal that last won us automatic promotion. 
It's a real opportunity for one of our current players to step up and earn their own place in DCFC history by doing similar over the next few games. Who would you put your money on scoring the goal that takes us up? 

Cashin 
Adams 
I’d say 

This is bigger news, to be fair.

Thought we'd have taken over the DRI by now....

Tell you what, the Mel Morris era really spoilt us for announcements (good and bad).

Surely if RD wanted access to the greatest number of DCFC players and staff, then they should head to the treatment room, not the training ground?
 

We’ve got a preseason friendly at home versus a team beginning with R. I’m thinking Real Madrid. 

You've just awoken a forgotten memory. What a circus that whole period was. Him, Kirchner and the Fake Sheikh.

Sunni Bradley?

That's shia madness.

DCFC receive a parcel from Texas USA it's coming home...
 
 
 
 

Agree with that, difficult conditions for both players and officials, but all contributed to what was a really watchable game and a fair result.

I'm sure we will win the home games, and the amazing supporters will play their part. Other than that I don't think we will lose any, but could possible draw one or both away games. I do expect Bolton to drop points, probably against Portsmouth. In short, I expect us to finish 2nd. COYR

A colleague said to me "you're up now arent you" this morning - then treated him to a long lesson on the years of Derby disappointment and blowing it at the last moment. Feel he will never mention football to me again 😂
Please Derby 🤞🤞🤞

Thanks pal. Thought your support was tremendous also, stayed with them even when trailing for a lot of the game. 
Agree point was fair & suits both teams. Hopefully see you in Championship next season, that atmosphere was wasted on the 3rd tier.

If we gained promotion, which is by no means a certainty, the first season will be about survival on a sustainable budget. Beyond that further progress will probably require further inward investment, with a possible change of ownership at some point.

Wasn’t Mel going to put a big extension on the East stand at one time ? A Luxury fan-zone would be nice there . Where fans can sit in comfort at a table , eat , drink and have a pre - match chat . DCFC pay almost £1 million a year to rent PP from Clowes , so a bit of income during the Summer would come in handy also .

Pompy are about to experience ‘nearly there’ jitters after so long in the div1/2 wilderness. They realise they are up against Mr ‘done it all before Warne’ who is hitting his stride at the right time, They will be feeling the pressure in front of an expectant capacity crowd. It’s a night all Derby touch turns to gold. The travelling hordes will be heard away in the Channel Islands. Pompy 0 Derby 3 never in doubt!
