I don't live in Derbyshire and apart from comments about how surprised people are that we're in such a mess, fans of other clubs don't seem to care about us one way or the other. We're certainly not '' seriously disliked' universally. I bet most fans don't think about us at all.

It is a Derby game not an England game. 
 

Well, they were at home today against Abbey Rangers and lost 2-3 so I imagine most of them were at their ground. Not sure why any of them would be at Pride Park to be honest. Combined counties North league I think. We've got a long way to drop before we hit their league and I imagine we're too far away from the South East to qualify for that division. Hope that helps clear up your enquiry.

The Rooney chant at every game is an absolute embarrassment. The man has a wife, kids, a family. Absolute disgrace our own fans are singing that about our own manager.
And yes, the Billy Sharp thing is equally bad. The problem is these drunk, young, probably drug fuelled idiots saw a viral video of the West Ham fans singing this about Ronaldo and they are that original and funny, thought they'd sing it about 'insert ex Forest player here' at our next game.
They'll sing it again tonight I'm sure as a result of his reaction.
Which btw was absolutely fair enough, i'd have done the same. Again a man with family, wife, kids probably at the game having to listen to that? Grow up kids.

It seems everybody in this forum agrees that the is vile and embarrassing behaviour at Bramall Lane by some Derby fans was unacceptable.
Of course a few won't really, but I highly doubt they will have the guts to say so in here.
A lot of people are growing to dislike us as much as Leeds were disliked in the 70s (and ever since tbf) and other clubs at various times like Millwall, Man U and Hope Valley Under-15s. Although the last one may be more personal tbf.
What Morris has been doing it entirely out of our control, but what those around us do, isn't.
For example, if a particular abusive chants start up, the majority could respond with something counter.
I don't mean Kumbaya, although that may very well work, or Imagine by John Lennon, although that too may work, but something like 'your're knobs and know you are etc'
Not that, clearly, that's lame, but something agreed on.
Plus, if fans en masse started filming the morons on their phones and the word had been put out that they'd be reporting to the club and/or Police it may help.
Obviously, I don't want anybody getting hurt, so be careful. And I'm happy to hold somebody's coat at the back if required.
Back in Cornwall that is.
We have to make these people thoroughly unwelcome because whereas they may not care when they're high or drunk, they will be after and/or before.
What they are doing is often illegal, and in all seriousness, it is up to us to do something about it if it's to change.
I almost want to adopt Millwalls chant of 'Nobody likes us and we don't care' but I'd be lying, I do care and I'd like Derby to be admired and respected rather than despised and mocked.

It's ridiculous that they get away with it. If there's one homophobic or racist word then they're out. If they look back at the CCTV and the match they can see who was singing or at least send the stewards in.
The mentality of these people is just so wrong I'd be quite happy for them to banned for life.

With the whole world (well, the Championship, and Leeds) apparently against us, what we do need is a siege mentality. Get home supporters at grounds we visit in awe of our support. Don’t give them an excuse to hate us any more with vile, puerile chants. 

one more thing on this…
it’s not even a good chant. It’s not smart, it’s not clever, it’s not at all accurate, it’s not original…it’s just tedious. 
 

Every time I've been to an away game I've left disappointed with some of our unsavoury fans. Didn't surprise me in the slightest to hear about this incident either. We have a large core of unpleasant fans that regularly attend away matches. 

Why is Rooney to blame for any of the mess we are in....??? There is only one person to blame and it certainly is not him.
From what I am seeing (and im not alone in this view) Wayne is coming out of all this with his head held high and the respect of the fans, the general public and the players.
Viva Wazza, the leader of the revolution.

So many things now are going to be hit by the fuel shortage. Probably can't get to Derby now this week.
Tickets printed - but nil petrol in my part of the West Midlands.
So many workers - and doctors, teachers, essential workers - not getting fuel. 
What a pathetically-governed country we live in.

Best wishes to you all with whatever's going on. Hope you can get back to the ground at some point. 

I'm not going to the game. I know another 6 ex season ticket holders who are also staying away, not just from the next match but from the club generally. We've all got reasons that keep us from going at present as I'm sure do thousands of others. We live in uncertain times and for many people, football is not a priority.

Some people genuinely aren’t able to go. Some people aren’t that dedicated and just can’t be arsed.
It’s not that deep and you’re wasting time and happiness by having a go at each other.

Assume so as all of those glory hunting moaners have been weeded out and its only real fans now. Dont think disparaging fans who cant make it for whatever reason helps by the way - this Im a better fan stuff hacks me off totally and probably has the opposite effect to that you want ie more people to buy tickets. 
By the way can someone compare how many tickets are bought with the attendance to see how many if those not there may have bought tickets anyway? Not sure if possible after sales close?
The idea of cheaper virtual tickets for anyone wanting to contribute who cant go for financial of other reasons is still a good one if there is some way of administrators doing it and they want cash

This kind of comment shows a complete lack of understanding of what has been happening in people's lives and finances over the last couple of years.
Perhaps some people prioritise other things and football has to take a back seat.

We will have to agree to disagree but the tone of some posters does seem to be superior and getting at people personally. They may not mean to but if you are someone who lives and breathes Derby but cant always go when wanting to then yes you would be "a bit touchy" about it. And by "bit touchy" I mean sick to death of it. 

Some are bigger fans than others apparently and waste no opportunity to say so.
