We Are Derby
Rail-track city; birthplace of the industrial revolution
Where inventors span cogs to engineer solutions
-
We're a city that delivers
From Royal Mail PO boxes
To Royal Crown Derby china
Craft and specialism's our definer
We Are Derby
-
Bearers of Joseph Strutt's philanthropy
Erasmus Darwin's philosophy
Where Florence Nightingale hatched plans
To revolutionise the healthcare of England
-
We're engineers with dirty fingernails
Graft and sweat pump through our veins
We're Rolls-Royce engines, Belper nails
Toyota motors, Bombardier trains
We Are Derby
-
A picture painted by Wright
A building designed by Pickford
We're artistic souls and working minds
With a heritage built on cognizance
-
The underdog city of Middle England
Entrepreneurship exemplified
Where independent businesses thrive:
The real-ale capital; a beer festival every night!
-
We Are Derby
-
Where the ram is our symbol
The city its beating heart
We've lived through hard times, persevered
Our people possess the spark
We are Derby County:
Formed in 1884
100 years before I was born
Under Clough and Taylor came the glory days
The heritage they forged; their legacy still remains
-
Where on Shaftesbury Cres, the kids now play
Where houses stand and turf once lay
On the ashes of our Baseball Ground
They laugh and have a kick around
As Stevie Bloomer watches down
The city's pride emanates the ground
 
We Are Derby
-
On that Monday morning
After that Wanchope weekend
Driving all those Man United fans
Completely 'round the bend
-
We're resilience in the flesh
We've never settled
For second best
Just walk these streets
You’ll feel the pride
It’s in our DNA
-
We Are Derby
-
Where the future's bright:
Bright black & White
Whoever the opponent
We’ll take the fight
-
We'll sing the songs; we'll sing them loud
Whatever gets thrown at us!
-
The ambition's here, the time is now
Our loyal supporters will see us proud
With our new blood we can make the push
And forge new history to elevate this club
Back to the top where we belong
The ambition here is bubbling strong
-
We Are Derby: Derby County

I couldn’t agree more mate. There really have been some dark days which we’ve shared and got through together. I think DC will be a good chairman to get us on a level footing and possibly sell us on in the not too distant future imo!
