Lol. Can we stop this talk of phoenix clubs, you only have to look at Ipswich and Sunderland to see how easy it is to climb back up the ladder ?  Lets fight to keep the club we already have! #COYR

Take him mate
Look dont let this stop you going to see lads play.

You don’t say? 
A new thread for this? 

Not even your 2017/8 accounts ??

Post just arrived with my ticket 

Truly Lovely response mate … thankyou
 

A great post, I love the sentiment. I feel the same.
I initiated my son into the fold when he was about 5 or 6.  About the time he started to actually wanted to kick a ball about. 
He was quite lucky at as the first few seasons he saw some great football at PP.    Highs and lows followed, Wembley(s) or being at Old Trafford for the cup win etc. 
But for me it’s been about spending time with him, and share the highs and lows.  Especially now he’s old enough to go with his mates and bar a couple  away matches he still goes with me.
I would lie down and rest a happy man if he thought the same way as you do in your second paragraph.  I hope he will look back and remember those times and not these.  Having said that the future for him as a Derby fan might be full of promise and European domination, who knows? As Jimmy quite rightly said 
It’s a funny old game

Im trying not to think about a phonenix team i just dont know how i feel about it 
i support Derby county because of my dad, i live and breath Derby county because of him most of my happiest memories are with him and Derby county
Hes no longer with us, i dont really have any other ties to the area other than i lived there for two years.. truth be told i think it would be a bit too painful to start again under another guise.
itll be hard enough and still is .
iv got plenty of mates who are county fans so may just go with them for the social side and just be a football fan refugee (aint foong to watch the red dogs)
Tbh following this club has taken it out of me , i dont think i have the mental strength left to start another journey 

Song for @Derby blood
Saw Nick Cave & Warren Ellis last night in Aberdeen, full of passion, emotion and hurt. Brilliant.

Due to circumstances beyond his control my good friend @Derby blood is unable to forfill his match thread duty and asked me to fill in. He also asked me to say his comments about Mel were down to emotion and his love for Derby County.
Anyways…
The mighty Rams take on Sheffield United at Bramell Lane on Saturday 25th. 3pm kick off.  
After everything that’s gone on we still managed to outplay a highly respected Stoke side.  The players were fantastic and the support was amazing.  If we as fans can take that to Sheffield and the players show the same class, we shouldn’t be afraid of anyone in this league. Off the pitch is for another thread.
So let’s outplay and outsing the blades on Saturday. As the ultimate measure of a team is not where we stand in moments of comfort, but where we stand in times of challenge.
COYR!!!

Good on yer for taking on the thread challenge. 
 
bring back Derby blood I say. Nowt wrong with a bit of honesty. He’s been calling out Mel for a longtime. I normally more of a reader than a contributor but I always follow these threads.
