As a chesterfield based Ram, I know a few who would take offence at the "no other club" comment! They got over 7k at home in the National League yesterday. There is a lot of good feeling about Derby at the moment from Spireites but I feel for Derby to be universally popular throughout the county, we need to actually take an interest in what's happening outside of our bubble. This is something I feel really strongly about and I don't think we've always lived up to our obligations as the county's big club in the past.

Would Mel Morris pass the Owners & Directors Test?

* Yes – he has only been involved in 1 football club insolvency. The ruling is 2 failures to fail the test.
 
The fact that the EFL have confirmed that someone can ruin two football clubs to become unfit to be an owner is beyond staggering but there's just nothing to be surprised about any more is there?

By the way, can we please not boo Marriott? A) He will score if we do and B) He gave us one of our greatest moments in our recent history with that goal against Leeds. 
It may not have worked for him here, but for that goal I'll always be grateful to him. 

It's not about the money, it's about showing our appreciation for a player's loyalty. 
All these years and Fozzy has never had his own song, never been the hero. He's just Mr Dependable. 
I think it would be well deserved.

Well you think you can mess with our club and get away with it guess again we Derby county minus 21 we are staying up and mel is coming for you there will be sea of black and white in the riverside like cocu said you mess with one of us you mess with all of us and we are going to win you guys mark my words.
We are staying up we are staying up
Efl teffied Derby on fire.

People need to get off their arses. I can understand work commitments etc but for the people that don’t go to matches and moan about the efl, Gibson etc it’s a joke! I can understand people not being about to afford to go but that’s why we need to set up some funding month by month to pay for tickets for people that can’t afford it. I’ve seen more talk about/promotion about the Middlesbrough beam back than the next game which is in two days time and is very winnable! 

Swing whatever they want, just so long as it’s not us in the middle getting spit-roasted…

This is going to enrage some folks... the exact same folk my thoughts below ARE NOT AIMED AT... but will affect them, nonetheless...
 
The best thing DCFC can do right now is make an official announcement that no Derby fans are to travel and attend the Boro game.  Full refunds.  All tickets returned to Boro.  Supporters clubs coaches cancelled.
Without that, there will be trouble.  The club WILL get a bad rep.  The club WILL get a fine for not controlling there fans.
As has been said, the timing of this Boro game couldn't be worse, and even a minority of our fans reacting in a negative manner will literally be "The last thing we need right now".
 
Apologies to the more respectable and trustworthy fans amongst us, but that's my thoughts!  ? ?
 
 

If we all share and watch, will this get in the charts? 

Sorry to start a new thread but I feel very strongly about this. The two parasitic clubs should not get a penny off us. They should be taken to the high court and taken apart and if possible forced to pay damages.
Now, I have no faith in our administrators whatsoever to actually do this. There doesn’t seem to be an appetite from anyone to actually save our football club and see that justice is done.
I would  be more than willing to pay a sum to go towards Nick De Marco or suitable friend to take this to court on the clubs behalf. If we lose football is dead anyway. If we win we seek costs and get our money back or donate it to local charities if that isn’t possible. 
This needs actioning now. This needs someone - @RamsfanJim or BAWT to talk to the administrators tomorrow at the latest to clarify what they are going to do and if they aren’t willing to fight tell them we are.
I have had enough of this. Can someone who has contacts please contact the relevant people and get the wheels in motion. This parasitical, vindictive vendetta should not be allowed to stand.
 I am sure plenty on here will agree with me.

Wayne Rooney, every time you think he cannot go up any higher in our estimations he goes and absolutely smashes it. I’ve said it so many times but there is genuinely no one else I’d rather have at the club. The man oozes class and commitment. 
 
What a bloke. I bloody love him.

Yep it’s good, just that two are nights and that makes it more difficult for folks( travel, school night, shifts) ..hope that some of those coming on Sat for first time/ first time for a while can make it to other games during Feb.
This season has been mentally challenging for I guess most supporters , I consider myself really fortunate in terms of family, hobbies etc but it has really got to me the last few weeks ( my wife of 28 yrs just doesn’t get footy and can’t really understand why I am moody?) god knows how difficult it is for those fans who are not as fortunate .
Having said all of that, it has in some ways been a good season...bear with me ...our fan base has stopped arguing with each other, the support in the Stadium has been exceptional, away support and volume outstanding and connection with players and staff/manager better than I can recall in over 50 yrs supporting ‘our team’...hopefully we will come through this and be .stronger for it
I have also been really humbled by genuine support from the vast majority of football supporters of other clubs , will certainly loom to support other clubs that get into difficulties moving forwards 
 
 
 
 

Hi all
Been following this forum for years but only recently started posting.
Fantastic effort by everyone to be in a position where we might sell out on Sunday, great to see lots of folks bringing children for first time and even supporters of other clubs
With no PL games this weekend then we are the only show in town and we will get massive coverage ..that’s great...however as a fan base we need to keep going. We have three home  games in Feb however only The Peterborough one  is on a Saturday .
Although clearly ticket sales for Hull and Millwall important I believe Peterborough is a really good opportunity for us to get another bumper crowd in what hopefully is a key game for us , it also is 12 days before the next deadline..hopefully thinks will be moving positively by then , but if still bumpy another opportunity to ramp things up with media etc and bring vital income into the club.

This is amazing
 

Hope so as I bought one last week, along with Derby County pencil case, eraser, pencil sharpener, bendy pencil etc. Hoped most of the cash would end up with the club in any case. Do you think it's weird to have Derby bedsheets when you're 37?
