    Hello friends,

    I hope this thread finds you all well on this warm Sunday afternoon.

    As a club, we were strong supporters of the "Save Derby County" campaign as we strongly believe no fan base or community should have to face losing their football team and we were overjoyed when our friends at Clowes UK came to the rescue. Clowes UK sponsor Matlock Town including our away strip so it's fantastic to all be part of the same football family.

    To celebrate the continued links, The Proctor Cars Stadium will be hosting Derby County on Friday 29th July with a 7:45pm kick off. It promises to be a fantastic evening of celebrations as the Gladiators will wear our Clowes UK away strip for the first time ever, the Clowes UK Cup will be up for grabs and they will be in attendance and we get to celebrate together the saving and hopefully thriving existence of the club you all love.

    Tickets are available now via the following link - https://matlocktownfc.ktckts.com/event/mtl2223hpre3/matlock-town-v-derby-county-u-21s

    We are hoping for 2300 sell out which we believe can be made possible by two fantastic fan bases. We were encouraged by Rams fans on Twitter to add a donation ticket option for those who want to help us out but are unable to attend for one reason or another.

    As a community based non league team which doesn’t have a wealthy owner we rely solely on our community to fund the club whether through gate receipts, sponsorship or donations. Any donations would be greatly appreciated. 

    Thank you to all who took the time to read this post and we hope to see you this coming Friday.

    I have a soft spot for Matlock Town. I grew up in Matlock and went to a lot of matches back in the day.

    I bought a couple of the donation tickets the other day when I saw the link to them on Twitter.

    Good luck for the coming season ?

    So, we're starting to look back at Mel's tenure, the last few seasons and almost going out of business.

    I have to say that the threat of Derby County, the club that has been such a big part of my life, being liquidated was mentally and emotionally debilitating.

    Sure there are far more serious things happening in the world but I personally found it really tough to deal with.

    Nevertheless, thanks to many people - especially David Clowes, of course, but also Rooney, Team Derby, everyone at the club, and the supporters (more of them in a moment) the Rams have survived and can start to look forward again.

    So now, knowing that the worst is over, we can start to look back and pick out the truly good things that came out of the past year.

    The supporters.

    Unbelievable. Fantastic. Superb. Remarkable.

    There are no words that do justice to the pride I feel to count myself as a Derby fan.

    I'm so sorry that my circumstances meant that I wasn't able to be on the walk, at Moor Farm on relegation night or at Blackpool but my physical absence doesn't make any of those events any less than real stand out moments.

    The petitions, the lobbying, the campaigns, the support from other clubs' genuine supporters was outstanding.

    The togetherness though, between fans, players and club.... I've never seen anything like that before and I doubt we ever will experience anything quite like that again. Beautiful.

    Knowing that Derby County has come through it all and survived, I believe we can now look back and say "that was a great season".

    Thank you.

    COYR ?

    Super post ???

    Happily I didn’t get double charged, just the one debit on one credit card so all good but curiously no acknowledgment from the ticket office even though it’s showing on my CC. Does anyone know if the ticket office sends a “yeah we got it mate your st card will be activated” etc etc ? 
     

    Nervous and excited

    Somewhere Off Burton Road ?

    I got an email straight away confirming  the purchase. Check in junk though, cos mine sometimes end up in there. 
    Also, if you log back into your account,  you should see the tickets you purchased sitting there.
