    For me it's a show of support for a fellow football fan, no matter how young he was. 
    No doubt he would have gone on to attend football games had things been different.
    You are right, we clap a lot of people, hold minutes silences for many, give symbolic gestures for political movements, it does get a bit much...but
    I can't think of anyone who needs a round of applause, or a show of some sort of love as an innocent 5 year old boy who genuinely thought no one loved him.
    Forget football, I'd watch my club go to the wall if it brought him back.

    He is as much of our history as Clough and Taylor but for the opposite reasons, the ying to their Yang yes we had an ageing team but he blew it to pieces and got it so spectacularly wrong in every way.

    Brilliant pictures, all of them, but did you have to slip in the reminder of Tommy Docherty?

    The difference now is that it's the Administrators and his man Kircher briefing him as opposed to Mel avoiding him.

    When times are hard, don't get too down because things will get better again.
    When things are good, don't get carried away, because times won't remain so good forever.

    Wayne Rooney has inside knowledge and he says the club won't be liquidated.
    Even if it is, a new club will rise up again.
    Don't worry @B4ev6is, there will always be a Derby County.

    Time for another trip down memory lane, there is a lot of uncertainty around at the moment with the same old diatribe being repeated verbatim on all the social media sites so how about we post some of our favourite images of the old place, no need to wallow in glorification but we could do with a collection of photos, memories and pictures to remember those days gone by , Stevie Bloomer, FA Cup ties, penalty spots repainted, seats flying through the air like frisbees, big norm and Frannie Lee, juventus, Real Madrid, fans around the pitch v Fulham, Shaftesbury Ave, Cambridge St, The Baseball Hotel, Champions of England, Todd and McFarland, King Kev, Charlie, Wanchope, Clough and Taylor, Docherty, Arthur, The Bald Eagle, Van der Laan at the back post, Popside, Ossie End, C Stand, The Paddocks, Man United in the 79s man United in the 80s, Leeds, Chelsea, Dave Mackay, Champions of England again, bomb damage in the war
    Embracing the past is not the same as being stuck in the past and at a time when the future is so uncertain what’s the harm !
    For those of us that went to the BBG it’s not the sort of place you forget.
    im thinking next year of recording some memories and uploading them to a virtual museum type website as pat of a Rams Heritage project, so thought would be good to test it out.

    Bolton fan in peace and sincerely hoping you survive. Just a comment regarding HMRC from our experience. HMRC tried to have us wound up by issuing a winding-up order on a number of occasions, first occasion was £600k bill and that was resolved in court by our ex-owner (we think) writing a cheque. The second occasion was just before we went into Admin with a bill of ~£1.2m. We went to court a number of times as the search for a new owner was continuing (prior to Admin - which I think protects you from Winding up orders) eventually we went into Admin, as it was clear we couldn't clear that debt.
    When the deal completed, as I understand it, pretty much our first cheque from the new owners, was to HMRC to settle the outstanding.
    The situation was same with Bury, over much smaller amounts. HMRC issued a number of winding up orders.
    It felt to us like HMRC were just dying to wind up a few football clubs, and in our case, there was no "dealing" with them, other than to find a way to pay and buying time through the Admin route.
     
    Good luck with your fight - it's always the fans that suffer.
