Or they would desperately like to be there but perhaps have had many midweek games lately, live away from Derby, have jobs and family commitments and are also perhaps cash-strapped at the moment

I don’t know but I very much doubt it. I can’t imagine any agreement with HMRC included a condition that if we returned to the Championship within a certain timescale we’d have to pay more. I really can’t see the taxman wanting to get involved with such things. Our points deduction, and subsequent relegation, wasn’t a requirement of the creditors agreement.
With regard to how DC is feeling about our recent form (which has of course improved recently), how do we know if he’s concerned or not? Maybe he still believes that PW as head coach represents the best chance of us being promoted within a reasonable period of time. A period of time that may or may not align with what we, as supporters, want.

B4's family will be devastated but what amazing tributes reading through this thread in full. I hope it brings them a little comfort

Really enjoyed that. First half more scrappy football but still deserved lead at half time. Second half much better football from us, better passing and squashed them totally with the second goal. Good team performance. Impressive watching Smith really marshalling everyone second half. Crowd lively too. Great afternoon!

Hi all, I'm another long time reader of the forum but have never felt brave enough to join and post, until now. Like many of you I didn't know B4, but recognised him and his dad at away matches. Last season I was sat next to him at Bristol Rovers, and although we exchanged pleasantries, again I wasn't brave enough to say I recognised him from the forum! If I had, I would have said, as a confirmed "happy clapper" myself, how lovely it was to read his always positive posts, and how his absolute love for our club shone through. It's a measure of the man how many of us are saddened at his passing, even though we didn't know him. Heartfelt condolences to all B4's family and friends, and I hope in time all these lovely messages will bring them some  comfort.

What truly terrible news. Just loved his total dedication and positivity. He made me laugh so much with his total non-acceptance of any reason not to be at a match. Hope his family realise how much he was loved in this community by  those who, on the whole had never met him, but felt like they did. RIP B4 xx

A stranger we had yet to meet.
Our paths had never crossed.
And yet, it seems, we knew him well,
A dear friend we have lost.
A heart of gold, a Kindly soul,
A friendly word to each.
A clumsy gaff may oft appear,
But ne’er offence be reached.
A call to arms, a plea for fight,
A positive embrace.
Defiant stance, a pumping fist,
A smile on his face.
Hatred of pink, and all things red,
More strangers for him to meet.
“A sea of black and white” he’d call,
“Let’s all stand at our seat”!
A disregard for marriage,
for relationships of two,
“Never, ever” he would wail,
“That would never do”!
Yet he loved all, and we loved him.
His quirks always forgiven,
His stubbornness frustrated,
But missed, now he’s in Heaven.
The truest Ram, amongst us all,
Now gone for evermore.
For Daniel, for DCFC
Let’s all be more B4

When I heard this sad news last night, I was absolutely gutted, B4 was such a positive man, an optimist in times of mediocrity, a true believer who only faltered once, when we were on the brink 16 months ago. The thought of losing his beloved Rams, filled him with dread.
However, it is only tonight, reading everyone's tributes, with an unashamed tear rolling down my cheek, that the bigger picture emerged. Tales of chats at service stations and concourses, his passion at at games and most tellingly, the private messages of encouragement or empathy when other posters were going through a tough time. Even when he had his own troubles, which would have left most of us exhausted and probably would have prevented all of us attaining his relentless positivity.
The reason behind those chats and messages, as well as good human nature, is we are family. We have something which binds us together, a shared love, a community. We live in a polarised society, where politicians, media and social media seek to expose and amplify any divisions and isolate us. However, we have an attachment, a forum, a club, a badge, a team to rally round and no-one rallied round The Rams more than B4. For those, like B4, who may find life hasn't always been kind or easy, that sense of attachment is even stronger and more important. 
They say you die twice in life, once when you stop breathing and again when people stop remembering you. Daniel, we will remember you, we will remember your rallying cries, your kindness to others and most of all the purity of your faith for the team you love.        

Especially when it revolved around a woman/partner. Gold.

Very sad news.  I never met B4 but you form a picture in your mind.  His positivity was fantastic, his glass wasn’t just half full, it was full to the brim and overflowing.
His positive views about the club, how we would win every game, we could overturn the points deductions, his interesting valuations of players.  The posts that I miss and always made me smile the most were when a poster said they couldn’t get to the game and the solutions he would offer.  Simply brilliant.
Now let’s go and get promotion!!
My condolences to his family and friends.
RIP B4 🐏.
