Ramewe

Dorsett is a d1ck. 10000 is about right. Superb atmosphere, and did you see the great old girl in the old people’s home banging on her window so excited to see the crowds and show her support. 

Absolutely brilliant I’m only 23 but was easily one of the most emotional days of my life; getting onto that bridge and just seeing the amount of rams fans together was just a sight I’ll never forget. Not ashamed to say I shed I tear or two on our way to the ground and to get the two goals at the end of the match just topped it all off, amazing. Credit to everyone who organised this you are an absolute credit to this club. Derby TILL I DIE!??

Great atmosphere on the march, great day all round in the end!
We're Derby County, we'll fight to the end. ?

For me while Wayne has been incredible big shout also to Liam Rosenior. Love what the pair are doing for this club. When Rooney inevitably leaves eventually I sincerely hope that if Liam doesn’t go with him then he gets the chance. He wants to be a manager he’s got the football brain and this experience as assistant could make him, he also deserves it because his loyalty.

I cannot wait for sunday now. It's quite something to see, everyone pulling together and getting behind the team even in these dire circumstances. 

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. 

Well, we have another month of uncertainty and speculation ahead of us.
I don't mind admitting this morning's lack of news has hit me hard.
We need to try and look after ourselves - and each other - over  these next few weeks. 
I feel better when I am watching games. Luckily, there are plenty of Derby games during February to keep us going. 
What will you do to try and keep positive? 

That’s brilliant but us Derby fans can’t even finish Steve Bloomer’s watching at the same time so doubt we could pull this off! 

Just thinking out loud here but with all interested parties seemingly now throwing statements and questions around like confetti, should one of our official supporter groups try to engage with Gibson and put some questions to him?
Im thinking of something along the lines of:-
1 - Please confirm how much your claim against DCFC is for, how it is calculated and on what basis it is made
2 - Please confirm why your claim is against DCFC and not the EFL. You will be aware that an IDC found that Derby had not 'systematically cheated' as you claim and had fully acted within the rules.
3 - How many clubs are you aware in recent years that have breached P&S rules and been promoted? Why have you not made claims against any of these clubs?
4 - Is it true that in the year ended 30 June 2016, your club surrendered its tax losses to another of your companies and used the tax saving as profit for P&S purposes? If so, do you believe that this was in the spirit of P&S rules?
 5- If your claim is successful, how do you see it affecting the future of the football league, when league positions are decided in a courtroom rather than on the football field.
6 - In light of your recent statement, it appears that you seem very aware of the intracacies of what is happening behind the scenes at DCFC. Given that, by your own admission, you have not been in contact with the administrators can you please confirm how you are obtaining your information.
 

Forest used 5 loan players today - one of whom signed this month - and also had one new signing in the starting XI. Derby have no loan signings, no new signings and have just lost 3 regular first-team players and 2 young occasional squad players. It's pretty remarkable that we made it a fairly even game which swung on major slices of luck, bad refereeing decisions and, to be fair, 2 good finishes from them.
I thought that Rooney's selections in the end didn't work and we got a bit sloppy chasing the game, but I don't feel particularly annoyed about the result because it could have gone the other way.
Fingers crossed now that Rooney stays and matters off the pitch take a step forward this week.

I liked Neville"s passion but he was very low on substance regarding the barriers we face. The EFL is highly culpable and I still remain at a lost to understand their point about protecting the other clubs. Neville also suggested that we are asking for preferential treatment which would open the floodgates for others. Again he is wrong - we are not.

If we get out of this mess and it happens to another EFL club I will sign every petition and promote their cause relentlessly.
 

I am as far from being ITK as you can possibly be, but on this one particular issue I have a loose connection (through multiple people) to Stephen Pearce. I heard through that particular grapevine that Wayne Rooney voluntarily approached the club shortly after administration, asking to significantly reduce his wages in an attempt to save jobs of others at the club. I don’t believe this is “new” news, and we can never know for sure. But I choose to believe it’s true, and I think it’s worth reminding ourselves of that. 
In this whole sorry mess, nearly everyone has made mistakes or done something they shouldn’t (Mel Morris, the EFL, Steve Gibson, Quantuma, Stephen Pearce- the list goes on). Wayne Rooney, and the players alongside him, are probably one of the only people who cannot be questioned. Their dedication and desire is on show every week, and is reflected in the league table, and in the fact we’ve lost no more players this week. No-one can seriously question Rooney’s character.
Now I’ve said all that, I give it 2 hours until Rooney is confirmed at Everton and Knight is confirmed somewhere else ? 

Mel Morris, Steve Gibson, Rick Parry and Wayne Rooney are all multi-millionaires. 
All are fans of their local clubs, all grew up supporting clubs where the vast majority of fans were ordinary people who want nothing more than to be able to traipse along to the club they love and support on a Saturday with like minded folk and cheer, moan, feel extreme highs and lows but whatever, still do it week after week, year after year.
Three of them made their money as businessmen, one made his as one of the best professional footballers of his generation.
One of them has more love of the game than the other three could ever imagine was possible. One understands the players, club employees and fans.
One has a sense of loyalty, a sense of what it truly means to be a football fan.
Wayne Rooney has more decency, loyalty, empathy and morality than the other 3 chancers put together.
Rooney will be remembered as a great player, possibly a great manager, and definitely a true football man who inspired several generations of football fans and players.
The other three will be remembered as corrupt, greedy chancers who betrayed the ordinary football supporter and tried to destroy a football club out of greed, spite, personal vendettas and cowardice.

I'm sure somebody from Quantuma will read this.
I think the way they've handled what can only be described as 'a situation they'll probably never have to deal with again and made difficult in many ways' very well and they seem to be the only ones who come out of this with any credibility.
We as supporters are obviously wanting answers everyday but that's not possible. I also believe that the admins was taken down a garden path by the EFL who led them to believe we could name a preferred bidder until the goalpost was changed last minute.
The EFL would have been laughing at Wayne Rooney after hearing his press conference last Thursday knowing that after the Quantuma's meeting with the EFL, we wouldn't be announcing a preferred bidder.
It's clear as day that the EFL, Boro and Wycombe are trying to turn DCFC fans against Quantuma - Don't let that happen, Quantuma IMO have been very good in all of this and deserve some huge praise. We heard it from Owen Bradley that these guys are doing everything they can.
As a supporter base we've been excellent all season but even more so in the past 7 days - Let's keep sticking together and one day very soon, we'll get rewarded and the future will be black and white, without any doubt. 

While all this is going on I would like to thank this site for being the best place to stay on top of all the happenings in this admin / EFL / claims case. Like most fans I have been searching online for the latest facts and over the last few days this site has become the most reliable. Fans have been providing links to any news regularly and I particularly like the pinned thread by @David giving the latest updates.
Well done everyone and thank you. In our time of stress, and at times panic, this site has been hugely valuable.
 

Ashley did not have a conversation with journalists. There is 0 quotes from Ashley in that article. That is the journalists using sources and other knowledge and putting things together. It shouldn't be taken as gospel. 
Apart from things clearly have been moving? You think nothing has changed in relation to Boro's legal case over a 12 month period? If the admins said they were in a position to announce the preferred bidder when they did, I assume they were told they would be allowed to deal with it after the takeover was completed. Clearly something changed for whatever reason. 

That is total disrespect though sorry. Bury would be as important to all of their fans and its place in their lives as Derby is to us. That is what this is about. We must not forget that esp how their MP spoke so eloquently to help us yesterday

On a really busy news day #myderbystory trending in top 10 on twitter. If you havent yet tweet yours with the right #. Well done Ramstrust. Need to keep energy up on all this stuff

if we do get through this i'm setting up a Bury-Derby Supporters Club, providing free Derby tickets to any Bury fans who want them 

Ok, Alan’s properly converted to the cause!

Here is a different angle - have 9 other football clubs in the EFL realised they will MISS a home game if Derby don't carry on after Jan 31st. That is 9 teams missing out on 100-200k income per game. Do they all take their claim to the EFL for this missed income? 15 teams will have benefitted from an additional game which may be struck of the records but they won't be giving ticket holders money back.
Also - not to mention - will every one of those 9 clubs need to look at their season ticket holders and refund a game?
I dare say the 9 clubs have a valid claim against the EFL for loss of income. 
Then on top of this - there will be seven teams who beat us, who would want the points from that game to count - so surely those seven teams would want DCFC to survive as well.
Then the minefield continues - is it 2 down, 3 up? Do the EFL really want to be sorting all of this out two-thirds of the way through a season.
There will be some unhappy people everywhere - and given that any team seems to be able to make absolutely ridiculous claims, then that is a minefield for the EFL!

Absolutely. The Wycombe owner came on Radio Derby to directly try to convince Derby fans to take the spotlight off of him. This is absolutely why we need to keep it up
