Rather a dreamer than a downer, aim for the stars and all that. It's what life is about, if you're always looking down, it's where you'll stay.

100% this. We have some fantastic creative fans, I love that. We also have loads who will sit at there keyboards and just moan without offering a positive.

I have something in my eye

There will always be some fans aren't happy, I love any effort fans make to behind their club and I think this could look great!

I've donated - seems like a good way to see out the season. 
I'd prefer it if we could have something along the lines of 'Derby Kingdom' with Lara Croft doing a spinning kick or something... though. 

In fairness, (and I'm not one for wishing the worst on Mel), it's impossible not to link the struggles away from home with a threadbare squad with loads of kids in it and ultimately that goes back to the club's mismanagement. Had Mel and Pearce not so royally cocked up then we would have had a squad more capable of meeting those challenges.

I hope Mel …
- is regretful for his time as custodian of Derby
- is able to support the transition from the administrators to the new owners
- is generous in every dealing with the football club especially in regards to the stadium
- never again gambles so aggressively with something he loves
- is able one day to go to a home match and support the club he loves
- provides continuing support to the club wherever he can in whatever way he can
- is forgiven at some point by at least some part of the fan base.
I appreciate the above is controversial, but on my eyes to forgive is much better for you them to bear the weight and emotional drain of holding a grudge.

I hope Mel gives CK or the council the ground.
And that then we all move on.
Let's merge all the Mel threads into one for anyone who still hasn't got everything off their chests to carry on posting.
But then, once the sale is complete, let's look forward. Let's be positive. Let's focus on football.
COYR ?

Sorry, have we been relegated today or just won the league? Incredible support.
Rooney, the staff and the players have done us all proud all season.
This show of support is well deserved.
But to deliver it.... What outstanding support. Well done to everyone there.
Something in my eye...

Like you turning up after a defeat.

I thought losing Jags & Shinnie was the final nail in the coffin and has led to a downturn for us, then I did the maths... we averaged 1.28ppg with them and we've averaged 1.11ppg without them.
If we'd carried on at 1.28ppg up to now we'd currently have 34 points and be 7 points off safety with 3 games to play.
The situation as a whole is what has killed us, coupled with Reading having an upturn in results post-Paunovic.
It is what it is, we'll be back in time.

A mathematical chance if reading lose every game. In reality we needed to win every game and hope that reading do not win more than once.

That we came this close is astounding - You have to remember that in the first half of the season the squad, albeit threadbare and small, was stronger than it is now. Couldn't be prouder of what they've done.

Watching the game in PP, win or lose its a shared experience. Listening at home, a win and the elation is about the same, a loss now relegation is a depth of despair, I’m at a loss for words to describe.
I will however be renewing my season ticket.

Anybody saying the away form killed us - you can’t expect that amount of youth to adapt to Championship football that quickly. Playing away is totally different to playing at home, especially with a thin bare squad. 
 
Rooney has done an unbelievable job and without his hands tied, I fully trust him to bring in players who will smash league one next season. 
 
No time for feeling down and deflated- it’s time to roll our sleeves up and prepare as a football club to come straight back up.
