I think most on here know who it is but we'd better say nothing

He genuinely might go down as the owner that kills us. 
 

Which makes me angry but also sympathetic. There’ll be no one as upset as him if it comes to that. He was poured in well over £200m from his personal wealth so he’s not some sort of dodgy owner. He’s just made poor decision after poor decision. 

His vastly over inflated ego had something to do with it too

Down down....Status Quo

All this EFL fiasco has done my head in.  Has their decision not to appeal mean that the embargo has now been lifted?

You cod have made a better comment than that!

Well he did quit

He went because he was pushed to go

Would Cocu have considered quitting?  I doubt it.

Cocu and Rooney have been given a dumb deal by Morris.

….and I don’t think I’ve ever been less excited about them!

Fixture release day was always the watershed between seasons in my eyes; time to look forward to the circus rolling into town once again. 

But this year feels like the clowns are already here.

Sadly, for the first time ever, I could not give a monkeys

So we are waiting for the result of the DC panel (or whatever it’s called) and simultaneously waiting for a potential takeover announcement.

Both seem imminent, but in honesty, both seem to have been kicked down the road so many times you just wonder when and if we will ever see the end of them. 
 

Meanwhile DCFC seem in complete limbo …. armed with a selection of academy graduates and a handful of championship or near championship level players, a team which many think are barely capable of staying in the league and a squad that just is simply way to thin.

Our manager has barely kept us up and was very clear a month ago that he needed action immediately to prepare for next season … after which nothing has happened. How much patience does he have?

Our best youth players are not signing contracts and even mediocre players in our squad are being snapped up by rivals.

So as fans, do we continue to sit and wait and play the patience game … or do we panic?

Panic I'd say.  The whole situation is a complete shambles

Great thread and well done EllaFella for starting it. My Baseball Ground experience started in 1967 (Millwall 3-3) although my memory of that day is pretty much gone (have to dig the programme out for a refresher). But general memories of the BBG then and in the 70s are just of tremendous excitement and anticipation (and yes it did involve the prospect of running into the away fans and what might ensue). I don't think I appreciated at the time what I was seeing on the pitch, too young maybe to take in that something really great and memorable and history-making was taking place. When they first spoke or relocating I, like a lot of people I guess, was very much against it, thinking somehow we could redevelop the BBG. But of course that idea was just silly and we moved on.

Someone has mentioned the 1976 semi-final and that, along withe the Leicester play-off, has always been very hard to take. Still not over 1976 when we got a kicking on and off the pitch. Great memories though and looking forward to Brentford tomorrow. COYR!

I remember that game against Millwall.  3-1 down with about 3 mins to go and then we got two very late goals to level the game.

I've even got to not bothering to check on here because nothing ever happens

I've never felt so disconnected from Derby County in 55+ years of supporting the club

Nothing to talk about or comment on.

Apathy and indifference amongst many fans

No season ticket news

No transfer speculation

No retained list

No recent information on anything really.

I'm not sure if I've known a period like this in my long history of supporting the Rams. I think it is worrying as long term supported will start to feel they can simply get along fine without the hassle and expense of supporting a team, I feel a bit cut adrift TBH and starting to feel totally apathetic and somewhat taken for granted or ignored.

 

 

That's exactly how I feel now

John Hurt must have been a fan when we were "Champions"

I guess I would have to start watching Mickleover, but I don't know if I could be arsed, even though it's only a 15 minute walk to the ground.

I've already pretty much stopped watching any football that doesn't have some impact on / link to Derby so I expect there's every chance I could stop watching it altogether.

Football for me is no longer the fun and passion I used to feel when players were normal guys and not the overpaid mardy arses they are now, with their flash cars and blingy Rolex watches (give me an Omega anytime)

What a bloody awful mess Morris has got the club in to since he bought the club.

It appears to be worse than I ever imagined☹️

If the club folded, what would you do? Stop following football entirely? Become a football fan (no allegiance to one team, but keep watching)? Support another club? 

I'd probably stop watching football, but give a passing glimpse to Torquay United.  I have had a soft spot for them since I watched them quite a few times in the 1960s

I'd give him time with new management and a decent budget
