Hope Wildsmith is staying. Why would McGee leave Forest Green to come and not play?

Doesn't like rabbit food.

This isn't meant as a disparaging remark, I genuinely dont know the answer, how long has Rams Trust been around and what are its main achievements?

No idea and no idea. I just know that Hilary will be brilliant at what she needs to be brilliant at, and wont try to be anything she's not supposed to be.

No disrespect to Jim??? whoever he was but Ramstrust have just lost Colin Addison and appointed Arthur Cox.

I've known Hilary a long time. I know whats she's about. If you're not a member then you should be.

She's Top dollar

I think this is disingenuous about Mel who is also a fan, I felt he was quite private (but that might be debated), had the best intentions of the club at heart and likely bled black and white (or hopefully blue and white with red numbers). He mainly failed because he was incredibly unluckly and was battling a rigged system. He also made some poor choices, but for much of the time I admired his personal sacrifice in the Arthurian quest to establish Derby as a Premier League club. If I recall, the guy is at least £120m poorer as a result.

Not read beyond this post. I'll try to catch up tomorrow. 

Mel wasn't a fan. Mel knew nothing about the history of the club barring things you couldn't miss as a teenager growing up in Derby whilst Sir Brian was lording it.

Mel was a fraud as a fan, driven by ego, just wanting to be on the scene as a premier league chairman.

( Some of my post is undoubtedly fact, the rest is just my opinion) 

Fill in the gaps.

Interesting that a lot of folks seem to want to diss Rams Trust.  I can only assume that you're from the hard of understanding side of things.

They have never had a more intelligent chair in all their existence. She isn't interested in promoting herself, she's there for us, Rams fans.  Whoever you were talking about the lefties. You're a fool. 

Hilary will take this further than any one can imagine.

You should all be thankful that she's taken this on. 

RamsTrust has never been so strong now she's there.

He was signed to compete on an equal footing with Wildsmith. Unfortunately for him, his immediate injury gave Joe the time to make the place his own. 

Massive use of hindsight there. 

I can't remember the last time I most fully agreed with you Rich, but you've nailed it there. Why are people on here so stupid. TAF seems quite apt. 

Are we talking about the same Dennis Cross? The hooligan? The guy that helped us watch football from benind the cages? Are we actually celebrating his life? The Thug. His type put the game back years. I always preferred to watch the football if truth be known. |You know, being a football fan and all that

Never mind the ex rams, it's just brilliant. Stand outs for me are Crossley, Jeff Winter, Geoff Horsfield and ex ref Kevin Lynch. 

They're all good but the afore mentioned had me laughing out loud and lead to a few odd looks on the bus.

They all need checking out in my humble

He was at Eyes Meadow coaching this morning. Don't know if he was Duffield or the opposition. My guess is it would be U13s as he coached the same age as one of my boys a few years ago who is now that age group.

Beat me to the punch, the mighty Saul Deeney.

 

was about to say I thought he was at other non league clubs, swear he wad at Hucknall town?

Currently at Ilkeston 

Theres a fair bit of rubbish being spoken at the moment. Lots of tactical geniuses around. 

I wonder if any of them had considered that 6 weeks on from being rescued by David Clowes and only 4 games in, we're actually doing quite well.

We were never going to hit the ground running and rip teams apart. We need a a foundation first, a very clear default position before we can even think about anything else.

This is very clearly being instilled at the moment. We can then expand our game as the 13 (THIRTEEN) new players get used to the system that LR wants to employ.

I would quite happily settle for 15 pts from the first 10 games and said so before a ball had been kicked. That's a decent base to build from. 

There are 126 points to play for. I expect we'll win more of those points than we'll miss out on. 

Common sense is needed whilst the system is being implemented.

I've never had a problem with RamsTV.. that's for youth and first team games ever since they started streaming.

Rams TV not working is pretty much the only constant in my life for the past few years. I can stream absolutely everything that's a stream but Rams TV lets me down at least 1 in 4. 

I've tried Amazon, You Tube, Sky Go ITV hub, iPlayer and Netflix tonight to check it's not my tinterweb and all were perfect.

Just Rams TV that's not working.???

Working ok for me?

I'm really pleased for you. 

I'd love to be able to comment but once again the only thing not working is Rams TV. I can stream anything I want except what i actually want to.

We don't need a third keeper but we do need a RB & striker 

And your point is?

Not read any of the thread.  Had a ridiculous day. 

But anyways it seems a ludicrous move  from his point of view. 

Brum are s****. Better players at Derby than Brum.

His call. He's wrong tho!

Really? You're taking those websites seriously? Nothing further needs to be said.

Kemars on 26k at Rangers, Lawrence was on 27k at Derby.

A loan signing, can see that as possible.

Concerns raised by Rangers fans about Kemars injury record, so they are happy to see him leave.

You've seen both clubs accounts then? You know that's their wage? Are you able to confirm those figures? I seem to be smelling a little bit of pooh old chap.

I've been on the road all day so couldn't reply. Just got in and catching up.

Yes Sir. You are correct. i got a heads up but couldn't say too much

It's not an either or scenario surely. If you can't afford the up front cost of a season ticket, then why not go on a match by match basis?

Absolutely, but it doesn't guarantee we all get to sit together. My eldest is in the South Stand, I won't be able to get him the same seat every week so I'll buy his season ticket. The rest of us sit with family and friends, that might now not be possible.

Not possible to get a credit card to pay outright then pay them off monthly like a direct debit?

No. Unfortunately not. The beauty of the old direct debit system was that it didn't discriminate against those with a less than perfect financial past. 

With no Direct Debit available that's me and my 3 boys out. I've not got £1300 lying around. 

Looks like I'll be watching @Owen87ITKthis year.
