Listening to Radio Derby from North Wales and they're just mentioning Colin Bloomfield, then I saw this and, while a little teary earlier, I'm gone.....❤️

Some bitter rival on some message board, I can't remember where, called it the 'Tax evaders cup'
I hope he chokes on his own vomit while his house is burning down.

Sadly this will be my last match today. My first was in 1956 as a 13year old, My dad used to take me before that but he stopped going when we went down to the third division north. My mate and I would catch the 12 oclock bus from Melbourne and be the first in the ground. We stood in the Normanton end pigeon loft, I think it was 3 shilling. To this day I remember that team. We were champions in 1957 and I ran onto the pitch after the last match against Southport, Ray Straw scored 37 goals that season, The next ten years saw me start work, get married and have two children, I had moved to Derby, and after my family, the Rams were the most important thing in my life I never missed a home game in those ten years even though we were only an average second division side. And then in 1966 after England won the world cup my mate and I decided to have a season ticket, Little did we know what would happen that season, I was at work one day and a Rams supporting work mate told me we had signed a player from Bradford Park Avenue, his name was Kevin Hector I'd never heard of him but he was without doubt the most wonderful footballer to grace the Baseball Ground I had ever seen, and because of this we wanted to see more players like him which led to Tim Ward getting the sack and BC becoming Manager, what followed was ten years of unbelievable success and enjoyment. And then things started to go wrong off and on the pitch and I stopped being a season ticket holder during Peter Taylors time as manager, i still loved The Rams of course and when I turned 65 and retired my old mate from Melbourne and I bought season tickets again. But sadly covid left my best friend of 80 years with a dementia problem and he know no longer knows me. For the last two seasons I have been going alone to the match but its just not the same for me. Therefore I am calling it a day, as I write this I am welling up as I will do this afternoon. Thank you Derby County for every thing I will love you till I die.     

For my dad, for B4 - for everyone that supported a team not fashionable - this is for you. This is what belonging can do.
super Derby, super rams 🐏❤️

The problem with David Clowes is I think he would cringe and be uncomfortable, if we started singing to him on any sort of regular basis.
Better show our appreciation through the tills at Pride Park.
Buy that programme you'll never read, that pint you don't enjoy, that season ticket you'll barely use etc etc. 
If everything is going our way Saturday, a quick burst of "ole, ole, ole, ole David Clowes, Clowes, Clowes", towards the end of the game probably wouldn't embarass him too much, mind.

Whatever Clowes has done, and we're eternally grateful for what that, the appointment of Warne felt strange but it's looking to be awful. While tonight was grim, it wasn't particularly out of character or surprising, it was utterly predictable. Promotion or not, he's not the future

Regardless of the division we are in next season, we need at least 5 new players and a new manager
