What a day. So lucky to be ale to treasure it with my sons and two grandsons, even managed to get in the pitch 😮. Magnificent support especially for David Clowes that ovation was exceptional. 
The Carlisle fans were excellent and they gave us a game. Birds goal was a fitting send of and calmed any nerves. Collins goal started the party. 
Special that the club remembered Dan, never met him but I will forever remember that this was the season to Be more B4.

Its a big thank you, Paul, from me! Surprise, surprise! You did what you were asked to do, and have grown and developed as a manager throughout the season. I hated some of the football we had dished up, and the stubborn intransigence at times, but in the end not only have we managed to drag ourselves out of this hell-hole, we have had a record number of away wins, best defensive record, and load of other "bests", so in the end, your football was effective. It might be that it was a deliberate choice for effective football", and the real "Warne-ball" will surface from now on - who knows? Right now, it doesn't matter. We are up!
Enjoy your summer, Paul!

There some days that become unforgettable memories - today was one of them.
Thank you, Paul Warne, for doing a great job. Long may you continue to do so.

I gave it 25 mins and then when i couldnt see the cup being given cause there were still fans on the pitch. blocking the view, gave it up as a bad job and went home,so well done to those who got a good view

Until next May you mean?

Watching this club for over 50 years, the thing that will stay with me forever from today was the performances of the academy lads.  Birdy, Cash, Sibbo and Thommo were immense today. Wherever their careers take them in the future they will always be remembered in Derby for their performances today and this season.

Whilst RamsTV was on air and everyone was out on the pitch and in the stands celebrating, he was in the office with work to do, contacting Owen Bradley to ask him if he wants an interview.
The bloke is pure class, it’s not about him, it’s about the team from top to bottom and he feels genuine with it.
Just a real shame his brand of football has caused a rift between fans all season, this could potentially be the last promotion many fans will witness. 

I'm not sure they did? 🤷‍♂️
Wasn't it more along the lines of "Please do not go on the pitch before the final whistle".

That's entirely different to your quote, and covers their arses when it comes to thousands breaking the law on their property!
 
Yes, it was inevitable.  No, there was nothing more the club could have done to avoid the invasion.  But that still does not make it right or acceptable.
... and as for the atmosphere once they were on the pitch... Embarrassingly non-existent, imo.
If we'd have partied like that back in the '80's, it would have been called a wake!  👀

Children sliding around on the hallowed turf, and grown-ups wandering aimlessly wondering "What happens now".  No "scenes".  Very little jumping around singing and cheering. No passion.  No emotion.  I repeat... embarrassing. 
To be fair, having a good overview of the proceedings from my seat, I suspect the majority were puffed out after all that exercise!  Looked like most of them had never been near a sports pitch before!  
It was fully expected of course (as a lot of anti-social/selfish behaviour is nowadays!), so it certainly didn't spoil my afternoon, but I still maintain a lap of honour by the players, management, and Mr Clowes... along with their nearest and dearest... would have been much more preferable... especially in front of 25k+ still in the stands.
But much of the stands were nigh on empty within 5 minutes of the final whistle.  When the (majority of the ) pitch invaders eventually left the pitch, they weren't miraculously full again, which would imply most had given up, and headed home.
Check out the numbers still there once the trophy was brought out.  It was like the raffle results at a village fete!  

 
 

Today was bitter-sweet in many ways, as I kept thinking of Daniel's pure, unadulterated joy on being part of this promotion day. 
Wonderful that the Club acknowledged his contribution,  and B4 will always be part of our heritage now.

I really fought hard to hold it all in today, only to go to pieces when we all stood up to acknowledge David Clowes on 55 mins! Love this football club. 🐏

Right at this very second, I couldn’t give a flying f*** whether people like Paul Warne as a man or a manager, I don’t care whether you think his brand of football leave you cold, or you think he concentrates too much on the opposition, or that he’s too jokey in his interviews.  All I care about is that today, him & his staff helped provide me & my lad with memories we will never forget, that were able to share as father & son, that I will happily take to my grave.  
 
Thank you Paul.  Thank you

Great guy, haven't been totally convinced by his management at times but he's got the job done. Is he the right man the take us forward in the championship? Who knows. Quite frankly, at this moment I couldn't care less. Just enjoy everyone COYR. 

Bye Max, all the best lad, you did us proud at the end and throughout your Derby career.
Sad to see you in Robins shirt but all good things come to an end, but so good your career with us ends with a defining moment, on your 200th appearance and final game.
Fitting end, once a Ram 🐏 

Sat and cried my eyes out in the car on the drive when it was announced the sale of the club had gone through and we were saved. 
 
Was holding back the tears today. Felt so overwhelmed with emotions. 
what a day! 

Blubbing just blubbing!

Listening to Radio Derby from North Wales and they're just mentioning Colin Bloomfield, then I saw this and, while a little teary earlier, I'm gone.....❤️

Ah, what ho! A jolly sight indeed unfolded at the hallowed grounds of Pride Park this fine day! One could scarce imagine a scene more befitting of the grandeur and splendor of a Gatsby-esque soiree, with fans cascading into the stadium like confetti, filling it to the rafters with their boundless enthusiasm. And lo, amidst the throng stood towering figures of Derby lore, Igor Stimac and Roy McFarland, resplendent as generals at the side of David Clowes, the club’s saviour, who basked in the adulation of the faithful like Caesar himself, hailed by the masses for his Herculean efforts in saving and guiding the club to the dizzying heights of the Championship!
On the verdant pitch, a veritable symphony of skill and finesse unfolded before our very eyes. A laser-focused strike from the departing Bird, akin to the graceful brushstroke of a master painter, found its mark with unerring precision, while Collins, with the poise and elegance of a seasoned virtuoso, seized upon a knockdown from the indomitable Bradley, who ascended into the heavens like a tattooed Rudolph Nureyev, his every movement a testament to the divine artistry of the beautiful game.
As the final whistle echoed across the grounds, heralding the sweet symphony of victory, a jubilant frenzy ensued, with fans spilling onto the pitch in a glorious display of unbridled exuberance. Oh, to behold such a spectacle would surely have left even the most stoic of gentlemen in a state of rapturous delight! And amidst the joyous tumult, Adams, Sibley, and Cashin, lifted high upon the shoulders of adoring supporters, stood as titans amongst men, their names destined to be etched into the annals of footballing legend.
Truly, it was a day of unparalleled magnificence, orchestrated with masterful finesse by the bobble-hatted maestro and his esteemed comrades-in-arms. In the grand tapestry of sporting triumphs, this day shall forevermore be remembered as a shining beacon of glory for the illustrious Rams of Derbyshire!

Interestingly, though that under mac 2 , clement and cocu we had a team that could pass a ball but not scrap and do the ugly side of the game and quarters moaned about that.
 
we all want the uropia of a side that plays nice or attacking football and can still do the ugly stuff.
maybe finally with a window thats unrestricted and un embargoed we will be able to hit a sweeter note 

The lads did it buddy. You never lost faith in them, Derby's No 1 Fan.

Many congratulations from Pompey. Well deserved. 

Welcome back to the championship.

While his distribution could be better, and a few head loss moments have caused us some trouble, he's been solid.
I'd be more than happy to have him stay whichever league we're in.
