We look a far better team when we are not playing.

But I thought Cardiff were so invincible that it simply wasn’t worth playing our first team so we could rest them for defeat at the weekend. Are we saying this wasn’t the case? What a bunch of cockwombles we have running our club.

No refund. Not for me, not the Rams Squad refund for the lad.
We are owed for 19/20 and this year, who knows. I presume this is being carried forward-heard nothing really except that we won’t get any rams squad benefits for this year, which is fair enough, although we didn’t for the year before either. Apparently we are in a queue for a refund. Long queue not moving. Last time ever that I will renew early. 
Interestingly the boy won’t watch Derby on TV anymore and the only players he can name are Waghorn and Lawrence. I can’t say I blame him although how he can remember Tom Lawrence playing is a mystery.
The lack of honesty and transparency really sticks in the throat. They should just come out and say that they can’t afford to pay anyone the money owed to us and they are very sorry for robbing their most loyal customers.
They could then perhaps offer Tom Lawrence as a human sacrifice. Although yet again by not playing today his mythical status and potential for actually scoring a goal increased. So maybe we will have to settle for Waghorn. I was going to suggest his head on a plate but I don’t think we have anyone at the club capable of setting anything ‘on a plate’ up.
Grim times for the club as a whole. I am not overly optimistic for the future on or off the pitch. 
 

It's frustrating, but there's literally no one there due to a combination of takeover stasis and the furlough scheme, although that doesn't stop other clubs in the same boat from being more open.
We do have a CEO of course, but he's only put his head above the parapet to talk up the now failed investment, not a peep from him on anything else, which seems pretty poor from a chief executive, who I'm guessing isn't furloughed himself.
Actually, it's worse than pretty poor, it's downright diabolical, and a dereliction of duty to the fans, or customers as they probably see us.
The longer this information vacuum continues, the worse it looks to us fans.
Loyal fans are owed money and an explanation, yet neither are forthcoming.
I note even Forest have a Q&A up with their chairman on their OS, yet we're being mushroomed.
Not good enough, by a long chalk.
 

Estelle Skornik. Good call.

Such a shame this, used to spend at least 3 days a week at Allestree during the summer holidays playing two rounds a day.
All for £50 a year, which also included Sinfin. First course I beat 100, 90 and 80 on. 
You can pay that a round at some other local courses, £60k a year seems a bargain for a council to invest in the populations fitness.
I've signed too.

Woke up 2 minutes after Ben Stokes was dismissed. Bit disappointing but Root looks imperious. Some super running just before tea as well. So nice to have test cricket available to watch. 

Hi. This isn’t my petition, just making people aware as thought a few on here would be interested in signing and might not be aware of what is going on.
 
DCC aren’t interested in anyone’s opinions sadly. They have already made the decision to close and dismantle the course. The petition maker however feels or believes that if a certain number of signatures are reached then the matter has to be debated/discussed by DCC which could be the last opportunity to save it. DCC seems to have responded by saying that they will only accept signatures with a Derby postcode. The reason for this could be that quite a few have signed from elsewhere due to the matter being raised, discussed and investigated on golfshake - a website. Worth a look as the fella there investigated the design of the course. There is also a video taken on the last day of play which is on YouTube. So it looks like your excellent suggestion was previously acted upon!
I am not a mad keen golfer so don’t know these things. I play on the course maybe once a month and only started again due to my 9 year old becoming interested. It is for him that I want to fight this as Allestree, our local course, is a great place where he can come round with me and see how not to do it and then play a couple of holes himself. We don’t have to worry about not wearing the right clothes and importantly we can afford it.
Thanks for the interest and suggestion. Appreciated 

We always used to go straight from work after a night shift on a Saturday morning, have a few beers and smash a few golf balls around have a great laugh, then go home, shower and go to the game... happy days..
(signed the petition)

Also done...

I recall specifically changing the pre-filled location (Showed Nott***ham and the first half of an NG postcode!  I felt soiled! ?).  I presume this was my laptop making out it knew my location?  ?‍♂️
Anyway, just done it again, this time using work email & postcode (Derby again, obvs).
 
?

Quick update that has been posted on the petition site.
The council are apparently refusing to count any signatures on the petition unless you put your postcode. They will only count signatures from Derby but apparently if you have put Derby as where you live that isn’t quite good enough for them so they are not counting these. Apparently for them to consider debating it they have to have a certain number of people from Derby signing the petition -  but only if you put your postcode.
 
Sounds to me like they are trying everything to avoid discussing this which obviously raises more suspicions but there you go. The whole thing seems to have been done quietly whilst we are all locked away. Poor in my view.
 
I realise saving the money would free up some more cash for further giant rings to be placed randomly in the city centre but something of this nature is so important, especially in a time such as this.
so, I urge you all to re-sign and remember your postcode! And share with your friends (with a Derby postcode).
