    Blackburn probably bought about eight hundred to a thousand, so 21k for a team at the bottom of the division with all that's going on (at DCFC and in the world) is a pretty sterling effort. I agree with the OP, that needs recognising rather than ignoring.

    You can't see much wrong with his positioning, even though he is behind the line when he makes the save?
    No more questions your honour.

    A keeper needs to know where his line is, it's the cardinal rule of the profession. He got to the ball, just behind the line which, obviously, didn't really help him in his overall aim of preventing the ball crossing the line. So the point is not whether or not he was agile to get back across to get the ball - which he was - it was for him to be aware of where his line was - which he wasn't.

    Well for the first one I'd say it would have helped him to stop the ball before it crossed the line, really helps for a keeper to do that.
    And he was super lucky not to have been punished for his pass out. Not his best day at the office.
    And while it might not have been all his decision, that play out from the back thing that they kept trying with Davies, that always ended up with hoof up to expect Sibley to win the aerial challenge, just didn't work, not on each of the times they tried. Learn, change, improve!

    First bit: This is conditional upon the second bit as it can only representative of the wider fan base if you have enough members. The Rams Trust has always been a very small selection of the fan base, so that needs to be addressed to be truly representative. 
    Second bit: I feel the lack of engagement with the fans has been a massive reason why membership numbers have been so low. This forum is by far the biggest group of Derby fans (overlapping with other groups of course) so it's been narrow minded of the Trust to only now come on to the forum to discuss things - even if an arm had to be twisted to get a RT representative on here. From being a member on here, you'd get a much better understanding of the differing views. Just from signing up and talking to fellow fans on this forum the Trust will have increased its membership, myself being one of them.
    Jim, from reading your posts, you're a very busy man... especially with current events. I suggest the Trust have a designated representative on this board who has a bit more spare time. Someone who is happy informing the wider fan base of recent developments and someone who enjoys debating ideas with others. It helps non-members to understand what's going on, they get to know the Trust on a more personal basis, and then are more likely to become members.
    Thanks for finding a bit of time to join the forum and interacting with us. I hope you decide to stay on here long-term and have the odd chat.

    Bit of a bump to the thread. Last throw of the dice I suspect in the attempt to save the golf course. Taking the matter to central government. All reasons and explanations on the website, so I won’t put too much detail here about the lack of democracy, and a new petition which needs names and postcodes otherwise they won’t count them.

    Anyone can join Ramstrust, anyone can stand for any position in Ramstrust - it is anything but a closed shop. And I kind of agree with @sage on this one, it sometimes feels like fans expect to be asked to approve everything they do but it seems there are very few who actually want to do the work needed to write up the statements, engage with the club and fans. If you don't like how Ramstrust, or any other supporter body, operates then join and help it be what you want it to be. If you don't, you've kind of snookered yourself. But the point remains, even if many don't feel it is the case, RT never can claim to be more than the voice of their members. And I don't think the club or anyone who takes a moment to think about it could see it any other way.

    I've recently joined Ramstrust, a very quick and simple process for £2. Suprisingly cheap. I'd suggest everybody should be joining, making their opinion heard. If Ramstrust had 20,000 members then they would be getting a lot more attention from the powers that be!

    The Board is elected by Rams Trust members. Anyone who supports the aims and objectives of Rams Trust can become a member. There is an AGM where elections take place.
    This is fairly standard procedure for a society. Members of the public don't get to elect Board members for any society, charity, company. Their members, shareholders do.

    This is a forum, that means if you have an opinion it is open on a forum. 
    Hence why I am on here and decided to voice it. So as I made that statement (which I am entitled too) which is my thinking at this time and the question by Jim was on the forum, so was answered. So hence me clearing or Airing my thoughts on an open forum. 
    Angie pointed me in the right direction and I have parted with my 200 bright new pennies... so thank you for your concern. From now on I will be able to read the minutes. 
    You have a lovely day.

    We have a case of Schrodinger's Supporters Trust - they are simultaneously silent but also speaking people's behalf at the same time. 
    On this point of them speaking on your behalf, can you or any others show me when they have actually done this? When they have claimed to be the voice of all Derby County fans - including those that are not RT members? Do you have that somewhere because it really might help others understand the need for you to clear your chest so.
    But glad to see you have found a solution to getting access to the minutes of the group, and it seems that all you have to do is find two hundred bright new pennies and join the group. Who'd 'ave thunk?

    How much influence do Rams Trust have/hope to have, Under MM very little to non, New owners could be in situ within a couple of months, They'll have their own board of directors, CEO, Secretary, Chairman/Woman ect ect, What is Rams Trust here for, How many members are there in Rams Trust, What have you been doing for the last 5/6 years, DCFC have been put into Admin where were you, Rams Trust come along every now and then with a brief letter/comment through our pretty poor local newspaper the DET.
    One of your Senior members tweeted a comment about the colour of Italians...how does that sit with yourself.
