My son Edward was mascot that day. Living in West Bridgford & surrounded by Red Dogs at school, Derby County had the foresight to offer the job to Edward…He fully milked the bragging rights accordingly at school on the Monday morning. 😉

I have some very sad news this evening.  Daniel (B4) died earlier this week. He was just 38.
As you know, he has been battling numerous health conditions for a long time, but always remained cheerful  and was the most loyal supporter of his beloved Rams, home and away.
He was at the match at Crewe and gave his full support as always. 
Daniel leaves behind a grieving dad, mum and sister. Our thoughts go out to them and we only hope they get a little comfort from knowing how well loved Daniel is by all who know him. 
Here are a couple of photos that his dad agreed could be shared. I'm sure many of you have others, as Daniel loved a selfie at the game.
David is hoping to arrange a more fitting tribute in time, but for now please raise a glass in his memory and a good Derby win today. I am sure that's what Daniel would have been doing tonight.
 

The atmosphere at the Wendies game was incredible 😊

The game we lost 3-4 to Villa was a superb game-one that just sticks in the memory 

There were a couple of latter BBG classics in my early days as a match going fan, in 91-92 losing 3-4 to Villa and 92-93 drawing 3-3 with Sheffield Wednesday.

Not suggesting that we should bring him back, I just stumbled across this on twitter - some great memories, almost brings a tear to the eye...
 

So why did they call it the Baseball Ground ?
That’s why !
Derby baseball team, English Baseball Champions circa 1898
I believe that is Steve Bloomer back row who played in the team.

F#CK THE EFL, DERBY & BLACKPOOL FANS CHANT TOGETHER TO SHOW WHAT FOOTBALL MEANS TO FANS  PLEASE SHARE
Hi everyone,
Blackpool fan here in peace and respect many of you will probably already have seen my video already but if you haven't I hope you do watch it.
You guys were absolutely unbelievable on Saturday and it was emotional to see you the true fans who partied and sang no matter what after all you have been through this season it was heartbreaking and uplifting in equal measure.
Even though we wanted to win to stay above Preston not one Blackpool fan would deny you the WIN. Absolutely amazing support it was a very special day
I think this is the most important video that I have ever made. Blackpool fans suffered for years at the hands of disgraceful owners and the EFL stood by and did absolutely nothing! Derby County fans came to Blackpool and stood side by side with Blackpool fans durung their prematch demonstration against the disgraced Oyston Family who were found guilty of misappropriating the clubs funds and forced to pay around £34M to minority shareholder Valeri Belokon.
Blackpool fans have never forgotten what Derby fans did and yesterday was our chance to show our support for the way Derby County fans have been treated this season. Derby came to Blackpool to party and we joined in. 
This was a game that was bigger than football it was a statement to say Football without it's fans is nothing, the EFL fit and proper person test is a disgrace they approve these rogue owners and when they go rogue they punish the fans with points deductions the whole thing is wrong!
My hope is that this video gets shared to as many football fans as possible, doesn't matter which club, doesn't matter where in the world, just show it and let's make the people that run football realise that FOOTBALL WITHOUT FANS IS NOTHING
#ONEFOOTBALLFAMILY
Please feel free to share this and help me get this message out and let people see what Derby County means to you the fans your football world has been torn apart this season and did any of you do anything wrong? No you support your club just like every other true fan and you get punished because of the EFL approving an owner that has ruined everything for you! It's WRONG!!
Who knows which set of fans will suffer next?

Well our fans were great once again every man women and child was firmly behind our team but just a shame odd few had to go to far by chucking flares about a couple fans went onto the pitch but apart from that everyone well behaved.
But our players gave our there all and if we can keep this team togather as much as we can I do feel league better be scared of mighty derby county.

I’ve interviewed Richard Stearman today.
 
Wayne press conference is tomorrow. Makes sense this week, given how quickly things are changing. 

I'm absolutely sick of the media being more bothered about whether Rooney is going to join Everton than Derby County being on the verge of liquidation. It's absolutely disgusting. 

Wycombe should be suing Boro then for delaying the decision

Cant. Window’s closed mate.

Starting the player praise early.
Curtis Davies... What a man he is. He has literally put his body on the line for the club, and now his career. 
Excellent today and will probably be our biggest 'signing' of the year.

Quick update: I have just left the meeting which is still ongoing otherwise I would miss the last train.
A decision was made not to release minutes for this meeting in the end, but I am free to get a write up out to you all as soon as I can. 
I do not have a laptop with me and would prefer to wait until tomorrow once I’m home and can go through all the notes.
I will aim to have it ready to post on the forum tomorrow.
Please do not bombard me with questions across the forum by mentioning me, PM, DM or text if you have my number.
I don’t want to be putting bits and pieces out there all over the place.
