£3-400,000 will be closer mate. 

In the January sales it could even come down to £2.95

I’d still take that…..

All this super fan stuff has become rather tiresome. Seems it's not enough for some to be congratulated for creating a great atmosphere at games and rightly so. The postulating on the demeanour and loyalty of those who can't and haven't made games recently has worn thin now.

I'd imagine there are those who have passed, either by Covid or other natural causes and have not yet been replaced by the next generation. I'd wager being better at cheering than a dead person might not be something to crow about. We might consider this and other threads may also be unpleasant reading for their loved ones.

Many will have found themselves financially stretched, others may have voted with their feet and simply not renewed this year as Mel was still in tenure. Whatever the reasons, I don't believe it's fair to second-guess them, nor to suppose they are the only fans who have ever moaned at matches. That's patently nonsense.

? spot on

maybe someone could draw up a sliding scale or chart that identifies what contributes being a Super Fan, simply a fan, 3/4 fan, 1/2 fan etc. 
 

I’m guessing a Super fan would be someone who goes to ALL home and away matches, drinks 20 pints and spends 90 minutes facing the opposing fans and chanting about Collymore and Billy Sharp. 
 

I can’t afford to attend many away matches but I am a season ticket holder so I’ll happily sit in the 1/4 fan category.

Well that’s the first question answered. Is Rooney up for the rebuild in league 1? Absolutely he is and is already planning for it. Biggest positive this week. Club needs certainty and stability, no one coming in will know the club like him or know what we have. Hopefully he can convince the likes of Bird Knight etc to stay as well, he’s really making a statement by his actions, if anyone can say he’s bigger than the club he certainly can, yet he doesn’t, he shows great humility and outstanding leadership in a critical period in this club’s history

We need the ownership situation sorting and then he can have the chance to manage without his hands tied behind his back, then we can really judge Rooney the football coach. Get a new owner and we can actually start being optimistic about the future again.

Keeping the likes of Bird and Knight (and others) would be fantastic however I personally would not think any less of them or indeed any of the players if they chose to accept offers from elsewhere under the circumstances.
Especially those lads in the early stages of their careers who have higher aspirations or international opportunities. 
How many of us in our own jobs would ignore an offer from another company when the one you currently work for is in such dire difficulties?

If there is a mass departure it will be interesting to see what sort of reaction they would get from our fans on the Ex Rams forum or IF they had to play against us? (I’m obviously thinking in a cup game more likely  ?)

Hostility or acceptance? 

I bet the likes of Middlesbrough, Bristol City and Notts Forest are consulting their list of players at this very moment, wondering how they can help us out. ?

Give over ,it’s been there since the seventies , never gone away 

And the next generation are waiting in the wings. 

We sometimes catch the Matlock to Derby train to home games. At Belper a group of 5 or 6 lads (maybe 14-15 yrs) get on in their wannabe Stone Island clothes and start effing and jeffing as soon as they got on. The train is full of Zimmer frames and prams, and that compiles their audience. 
At Derby they go quiet if the away fans might be around.
And same again after the match. if the away fans are on the same platform they are quiet as mice until back on the train. Pathetic really.  
I’m sure they go back to school on the Monday bragging about how they ‘owned’ the 2 carriage shopper express.
