Two strange things today that you just know in your gut are meant ,,,, I rarely look at the video screen , I don’t know why I looked but I did and there it was ,,,, be more B4 and a short while later I looked over again and I saw a solitary ballon floating high above the stand above the video screen ,, don’t give a poop if anybody thinks I’m a soppy old bugger or it’s just coincidental,,, but when you know you know ,,, thanks for being around us all B4 ❤️

On the train back to London reading this thread and getting weird looks because it's so emotional. And I'm so sorry he's not here to share it with us and say "I told you". He kept the faith when many of us doubted. Be more B4! 🐏🐏🐏🐏

Thank you B4 such a great day to be a Rams fan. 
 
Didn’t see the message on the screens but my grandson turned to me and said ‘what does be more B4’ mean. I explained to him and he was sad to hear the story but loved the sentiment. Today it felt like we were all a bit more B4 👏👏👏👏

I only found out it was happening about 30 seconds before. Lovely touch from the club. 

As a side note, some lovely words from @Owen87ITK too, to go along with that displayed message. Well done that man. A deserved and fitting tribute. 👏 

Respect

Good luck for this afternoon, I hope you get it over the line for a number of reasons, and the odds are in your favour.
I hope you don't mind an outsider saying this, and I'm sure you all know this, but regardless of any euphoria or disappointment tomorrow, you'll all still be proud supporters - as b4 was, and is. As someone who read on here for a while before I registered/posted and saw lots of his comments when you were in a bad place;  I stand by the fact that whoever we support, we could all do well by being a bit more like him, when it comes to our clubs.

Good to talk.

B4 April 2023, If ever we needed a rallying call, different game but the sentiment remains exactly the same!
 
Well calling all derby fans to get really really really behind the lads we need get behind the lads lets have wall of noise and have sea of black and white let's have scafs flags and balloons let's cheer lads on into the play offs. The louder we are the better lads play. Let  burton players shake with fear and let them think what on earth have we got our selfs into here.

If we go up, surely recruitment would have to be considered a success as we will have completed a key objective? Being overly critical of recruitment seems harsh when no club gets every move right.
Warne, Thomas and the club have made mistakes, there’s no denying that. The signings of John Jules and Embleton were always a huge risk and never looked likely to pay off, for example.
But on the whole, they have got plenty right. Adams, Wilson and Nelson have become important first team players and each of them is playing a key role in a promotion push. Gayle and Nyambe have shown their class and surely would have contributed more if not for injuries.
Even signings that have clearly not lived up to expectations have still contributed across the season to a winning team. Ward, Bradley, Waghorn, Washington and Elder have all played a role and contributed to the team earning important results at one time or another.
There are even signings that have disappointed so far - CBT and Fornah - who may benefit from a clean slate in pre season with the hope of there being more to come.

He would be adamant (not the Prince Charming version) that the Rams are going up. He wouldn’t hear anything to the contrary. He would also look like the a DCFC Michelin man with numerous layers of scraves and flanges. I will be taking one of his scraves with me tomorrow. 
Typing this has made me a bit sad. I would often buy Dan DCFC hats, scraves, hoodies etc for Christmas so he would be warm at matches. His favourite hat I gave him had a leather DCFC badge on the front. My dad told me he couldn’t find it before a match one day and was so upset he thought he had lost. It turned up at home a couple of days later. These memories tug at the heart strings. 
 

B4 not made the shortlist for fan of the year, I would imagine they have stipulated the winner must be available to collect the award but just a guess. Feel like the club have got this wrong but with his own thread he is 100% a dcfcfans legend!

Longer than he got - a lot longer.
The way he was sacked by Sam Rush was nothing short of disgusting, and still leaves a nasty taste in the mouth. Clough had basically kept Derby afloat for about 4 years, balancing the books and operating on a shoestring budget (a string which grew shorter each year) thanks to the almost complete absence of any meaningful investment by GSE, and he left Derby in a far more secure position than when he first took over. The fact that Steve McClaren then took over the reins and took the team forward on the pitch only goes so far in justifying Clough's sacking - and hindsight being 20:20, it's equally arguable that the whole financial mess which culminated in Administration and subsequent relegation would never had happened if Clough had not had his legs sawn from under him following the 1:0 defeat at the City Ground.

B4 our hyper-optimist, wish he could have been with us now for the last leg.
But ,hopefully, this weekend we will get the promotion he would have wanted.
Waving a scrave and lifting my flange in his honour when we make it.
COYR!

What towels does he use?

Thank you for the gracious comments.  I'm a bit *ahem* tired and emotional - it's been a relatively long wait for us to get back in to the second tier.  I'm rooting for you to get over the line and other results this evening appear to have been in your favour.  Good luck and raising a glass to B4.

Ffs , back to this again Rams fans
