    Having had a season ticket in the early 1970s, yes!
    DCFC have zero chance of another European Cup semi-final whilst I am drawing breath.
    But since then there have been some great times, most recently the 2021/22 season when we saw on the pitch a totally commited squad and off it a united community fighting to ensure the club survived. Being in the Premier League is not the be all and end all for me so I continue to be a season ticket holder, not least as we have the best owner for many years

    Born in ‘71 so whilst our glory years were in my lifetime I have no memory whatsoever.  By the time I really started supporting the Rams in the late ‘70s it was all downhill.  The best football was probably the first 3 years of Jim Smith.  But in my mind the best period was under Arthur Cox from ‘84 - ‘89.  Total rebuild, much like now, successive promotions and finishing 5th in the top flight only being denied European football due to the ban on English clubs.
    I’m under no illusion that we will ever with the top division again but I live in hope we can get there again and hold our own.  Which, unfortunately, is probably the best a club our size can hop for.

    Bradley is replacing Davies, Stearman and Chester. The three of them made the equivalent to only 26.5 league games for us last season.

    Still no announcement from Brum. But Birmingham news are saying the fee will be around £400k. I hope they are not trying to chip us down after seeing his medical results.

    I really hope so Carnero because to me he has become a burden whilst he is still at the club.

    I can agree with you there my friend. Is there any summer sports you like? I enjoy watching the Cricket men's and women's game and Wimbledon starts next week which I enjoy watching. Use to enjoy Formula1 until Red Bull started to bore me to pieces so stopped watching that. But like you say it doesn't compensate for the football.

    I have to admit I hate the sea it just scares me as someone who can't swim. When I've been seeing pictures of this sub and pictures of The Titanic on the sea bed it just makes me so claustrophobic and a sense of anxiety and panic I will watch it for a minute then switch to another channel. I think myself they are mad but each to there own. I just hope they can be rescued. I don't know about anyone else but these journeys to see The Titanic should be stopped ASAP this is a tragic grave and people shouldn't be visiting like it's some kind of Jolly Boy's Outing.

    As a item of historical importance the story of this ship will carry on .  However, the constant pillaging of what would never be allowed on an underwater war grave is repugnant.  Only a few years ago people were going down to get married on the deck.  They're building a replica with a massive price for a ticket to have fun trips to wear the ship sank.  Many years ago an American court gave sole salvage rights to a bloke who runs the BMW dealerships in the States.  A ship in international water ???Better known as Titanic Inc.  Since then they've put thousands of personal items from diaries to children's shoes into storage outside Paris.  You can even have the fabulous fun of getting a boarding pass when you visit their exhibition with a name on .  You'll have to wait till the end to see if you survived though.   Gross
    Robert Ballard who discovered the wreck by accident has over the last 15 years offered serious regret he ever mentioned it to anyone.

    It's terrible for all concerned but when people are spending £250k to go look (possibly, its not guaranteed) at a ship wreck on the ocean floor while nurses are using food banks it tells us just how crazy the world has become.

    Good grief - this story is horrific and is making me feel claustrophobic just thinking about it
    Plus I'm gob-smacked at the details of how ramshackle the craft is. I'd assumed it was a state of the art thing, but it sounds like a pressurised metal box
    Here's hoping for a happy ending but I'm not feeling confident given the depths they're talking
