Applications are now open, membership is free, you just have to love having a striker that doesn’t end up on his arse every 5 minutes and can piggyback defenders with ease.
Who’s in?

My favourite shirt in my collection, my aim was to get as many shirts starting from my year of birth 1970 ! So this is the pinnacle ! Numero uno in my eyes ! John O’Hares No9 shirt, from 1968 to 1971 he was wearing this or one of these firing Derby up the football league ! 

That would be the best Christmas gift the world has ever seen.

Can’t wait for Christmas, Son.

Probably take a look at the squad and say 'where's Chris Martin'?

All my shirts are 100% original and they are what they say they are. I'm trying to preserve one of every shirt the club has ever worn. Knowing some may not exist anymore doesn't put me off, I'm doing all I can to try and collect one of each so they are still around for generations to come. My collection has now reached over 600 different shirts and sportswear items from the 60s to present. Hope everyone enjoys the photos and if you have any shirts please please get in touch. Great prices paid and the shirts will be preserved, not altered or changed in any way, just kept exactly how I receive them, placed in preservative covers. ??

We are all incredibly touched by your support over the last four weeks in not only getting our campaign off the ground but smashing our target at such a difficult time for everyone ?
Thank you to everyone who assisted, shared and donated. We couldn't have done it without you ??

Steve Bloomer's watching! 

This thread appears to be moving away from what it is intended for into something a little more toxic so from now on i will just provide updates to the values, if anybody wishes to PM me about Remebering Reg or maybe the Rams Heritage Trust then please feel free.
A big thank you to all of the people who contributed anything towards the crowd fund, it was all about the people of Derby raising the fundsfor a lasting memorial to Reg and his work for grass roots football in Derby and the clubs that he set up, it was a bit ambitious but i am very pleased to say that we have managed it and passed our target of £8,000, only a small part of that was raised by auction, the rest by gift.

Craig worked very hard for us behind the scenes he had training and match days and of course family life, he was in contact every day and did the sorting out and arranging payment and then posting off, not to mention giving up one of the few shirts of sentimental value to him, going forward we as a group will be looking at getting players and ex players more involved with the fans, this has been a great success, the club have not announced anything themselves to remember Reg, and we did it for grass roots football, to be honest the response to the crowd fund was very slow and disappointing initially with lots of people questioning our reasoning rather than supporting the cause, it wasnt until Frank got involved, somebody who wasn’t local and had only spent a year in our company, once this virus is out of the way we will be doing a lot of stuff so keep an eye out, we have some big plans for next year being the 75th anniversary of the FA cup team ! Up the rams !

Thanks Ilkley! I'd like to think we could never go through a period like that again but who knows with Derby County to be honest. Looking back, if it wasn't for the fanbase, things would have got very dark.
Yeah George was a bit of a spiky character. In the end I only got around 20 minutes with him and he was pretty quick to shut down any chat on Murdo and the situation there unfortunately. I pursued again with a text but he made it pretty clear there was no chance I'd get anything from him on it. But to be quite honest, there were lots of people from over the years who didn't want to drag over old things. Burley, Gregory, Jeremy Keith. None of them wanted to go over much and of the three, it was only Burley who was happy to pick up the phone.
Don't think there were legal restrictions, just don't think he fancied going over unhappy memories. I think for the most part, the people who couldn't speak because of legal restrictions were quite open in saying it.

Odd to have Leighton James amongst a few players who had left by the time he joined. And Derby were playing in blue while he was here.
Did you make these yourself? ?

Great gesture from Frank responding to our cause, he spent a lot of time with Reg on the day he received his freedom of the city and struck up a relationship with him

I feel dirty. I cheated on RamsTV and went with the NowTV Bonus Stream. One camera. No replays, not even of the goals. Standard resolution. No Owen, no Shane, no Bobby Davison. But, otherwise, it was ok.
I'm going for a shower while I wrestle with my conscience.

Yeah but @Owen87ITK alone is worth that, throw in Bobby Davison and it's sorely tempting.
But, yeah, I'm a tight wad so may try saving some money.
Cheers both

It's not bad, I think if you have Sky Q it's even in HD? Better than when it started, one camera angle there's commo and (I think) even replays. We watched the Huddersfield game via it and it seemed fairly good coverage, but don't remember it being anything awful/special.

Roy McFarlands No5 Le Coq Sportif away shirt from 1979, stunning in its colour and simplicity and visionary in its material composition!

As I desperately try to avoid everything is unfolding on deadine day, thought this may be of some interest to perhaps some of you out there!
The book seems to have gone down incredibly well so far which is fantastic, but I put together a little article on the process behind the book and how over three years it all came to life, just in case anyone fancies a lunch time read!

For anyone who has ordered on Amazon, Waterstones or Smith's, it should certainly be with you by this time next week. But otherwise, it's available at the DCFC Megastore and on their site now as well: https://www.dcfcmegastore.co.uk/item/2865/Books/PrideThe-Inside-Story-of-Derby-County-in-the-21ST-Century-Na.html
Okay, marketing spiel over for the day! If anyone has any feedback on the book as well and if you've already managed to get through it, would love to get your take!
