Hi all,
I just wanted to pop on and say congrats on a successful season and well deserved promotion. I know there's been some ill feeling between fans, mostly on the toxic social media platforms (not helped by a large number of idiots of which we at Bolton have f****** loads). I've scanned through your forum and a few others to regularly to check in on the thoughts of some of our promotion rivals over the season and as forums go, this one is generally positive and full of good and honest opinions. We have another fan called Wanderlust who often peruses the various forums and I feel he is a good fan for honest opinions too. I hope we can join you, I'm sure there's plenty of you hoping we stumble and end up stuck in L1 for at least another year, mainly for the fans who've been making stupid excuses for us not winning points this season. Reality is, you and Pompey were the most consistent teams over the season and thoroughly deserve your promotion, so well done and good luck in the championship next year. With your stadium and fanbase and what your fans have been through (trust me, I know what it feels like too), you deserve some good times now!
 
All the best gents (and ladies)

As I woke up tired and hungover this morning, I had a thought. While it's always great hearing stories about the glory days of the 70s, the iconic 80s and the fun 90s, there's a whole generation of Derby fans who have only ever known disappointment. I myself had my first season ticket in the 2006/07 Billy Davies season, but I was too young to properly appreciate it.
Since then, it's been a mix of hope, heartbreak and 'nearly' moments. Our generation of supporters have witnessed other clubs' fans celebrating siuccess (sometimes at our expense), but we find it difficult to fathom what it would actually feel like for Derby to ever get over the line.
Yesterday, as I walked back back to the bus with my arm round my mate's shoulder, belting Derby songs at the top of our voices, I had the first taste of what it might feel like to experience success as a Derby fan. This morning, I started making preparations for post-game jaegerbombs and cigars next weekend. And thinking about how I'll be raising a glass to the lad that we all miss. 
We're not over the line yet. But I'm well into dreaming territory. And for us fans who aren't old enough to know glory, it's going to be oh so sweet.
Up the Rams.

We’ve excelled as Derby’s 12th man all season, so we’ll be fine.🏃‍♂️🏃🏻‍♀️‍➡️🏃🏾‍➡️🏃‍♀️

I’d recommend a hot toddy followed by an early night. Maybe a visit to Markeaton Parkrun to sweat out the remnants and then a late fitness test to confirm you’re ready for the afternoon ahead. C’mon Adam, I want to watch you get the North Stand bouncing from the South Stand.🐏🐏🐏

We could hit the bullseye 🎯with this signing. Can’t wait to see him bullying L1 centre halves…😉

League: Play Offs
FA Cup: 4th Round
Carabao Cup: Quarter Finals
Papa Johns Trophy: Winners 🏆
Derbyshire Senior Cup: Winners 🏆 

For those complaining about the referee, please take solace in the fact that their number 3 is unlikely to referee one of our matches again this season. 

?‘They cocked us 21 points!…’??

If there is anyone deserving of a “free” season ticket from the club it must be B4. His enthusiasm for the club during the bleakest of times should be rewarded and if he genuinely can’t afford to renew I would hope the club would help out.
