Ramrob

A day i will treasure for the rest of my life. Train down from Leeds was absolutely teeming with West Yorkshire based Rams, plenty of beers & laughs on board. Then a few beers pre-match in the Alex before heading down to PP via that amazing new mural by the underpass courtesy of Popside Fanatics.
Atmosphere was every bit as electric as I'd expected & brilliant to get that early goal. What a way for Max to sign off his career here. Ok Carlisle played some neat stuff thereafter but was never seriously worried. As soon as we scored our second & we heard Bolton were losing, we knew we were up. Pitch invasion was absolute magic, scenes that will stay with me forever.
After the humiliations this club has suffered in recent years, we deserved today. But a massive thank you to Paul Warne, the players & the coaching staff...heroes the lot of you. Biggest thank you though goes to the man who deseevedly got his minutes applause...David Clowes, you took this club from the grip of extinction & restored its pride. You deserve the freedom of this city.
P.s. was brilliant seeing the club's tribute to B4...his legend will always live on. Hope you enjoyed looking down today pal 👍
Absolutely love you Derby County. My club 🖤

What a day. I love everything about this club so much - imagine if it had gone. So happy to see David Clowes enjoying himself so much.  The standing ovation for him was just fabulous.
I cant really remember anything on the pitch after we got the second. I was worried we would run on the pitch before the end of 90mins (EFL!) - well done to the fellow fans who stopped those who were tempted.
The end was perfect - the pitch celebration was just that - so good natured and perfect that the players were loving it. A trophy - not sure why but again it just worked perfectly.
What scenes. Will never forget it. 
And finally just thank you David Clowes. And thank you Paul Warne. Met him last week after Cambridge and am now totally under his spell. His hugging Max as he came off and interview on Radio Derby discussing Max and their dads sent me over the edge. He obviously cares so so much and sounded so shattered and I hope he gets to recharge properly. 
People may say we're over-celebrating but has a promotion ever meant so much? 
 

Started today with slurps at the Neppy, then in the bar at what used to be the DW  and then in. My daughter was feeling sick and dizzy, and had a cracking headache but still came to the match 'cos she simply had to!
What a cracking start (and end) by Birdy, who gave that shot everything he had! Then it went a bit flat, as if we were going to do the usual and see out a 1-goal lead to the end, but I didn't care - we are going up! The second goal lit the team up because there was now no pressure whatsoever. 
Great to sing for the Right Honourable David Clowes, and the ovation at 55 minutes was brilliant! And for B4 to be commemorated so proudly was a beautiful touch!
And I did eventually go onto the pitch with son and daughter to re-live the last time, 10 years ago after the Brighton play-off semi - see both piccies below!
Is the rumour true that Paul Warne will feature in the New Years Honours list as first recipient of an MBE, which will actually be a a new honour, the Member of the Bobble Empire?
Well done Paul! You did what you were brought here to do - I had my doubts, mainly about what we had to watch, but what we did end up watching was a club going places. You've earned your stripes. Now, as 02 used to say "See what you can do"!!!
 

Just got in the door and havnt read any of this thread yet since I set out at 7 this morning , im gonna go back and read every post but before I do ,,,,,,,,,,, WHAT A DUCKING DAY

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. 

Two strange things today that you just know in your gut are meant ,,,, I rarely look at the video screen , I don’t know why I looked but I did and there it was ,,,, be more B4 and a short while later I looked over again and I saw a solitary ballon floating high above the stand above the video screen ,, don’t give a poop if anybody thinks I’m a soppy old bugger or it’s just coincidental,,, but when you know you know ,,, thanks for being around us all B4 ❤️

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.

Wow, what an amazing day, and season to get promoted.
I've never willed Derby not to score but hoped for that at the end as it would have been carnage, and a retrospective EFL points deduction to put us in 7th place would finish me off!
My mate I met on the forum here 9 years ago and travel from deepest Kent to the games with is getting married tomorrow, so the weekend of celebrations continue.
UTR ! 🐏
 

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! 

Some repetition of his Sky and Ramstv comments here but worth a listen (if you’re someone who can tolerate his voice).
Did make an interesting comment about the team will need to be torn up and start again, which may or may not be relevant. More than that were his heartfelt comments about his own father and Max Bird. 

Blubbing just blubbing!

We’ll catch Pompey… next season b4 😉
Lovely touch by the club. I missed it like most. Hope you’re looking on somewhere having a ball. 

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.

On the train back to London reading this thread and getting weird looks because it's so emotional. And I'm so sorry he's not here to share it with us and say "I told you". He kept the faith when many of us doubted. Be more B4! 🐏🐏🐏🐏

Daniel lad I hope you enjoyed it today up there. 
 
Heard a rumour we’re signing an N Blackman in summer - probably nothing in it 👀😂

Thank you B4 such a great day to be a Rams fan. 
 
Didn’t see the message on the screens but my grandson turned to me and said ‘what does be more B4’ mean. I explained to him and he was sad to hear the story but loved the sentiment. Today it felt like we were all a bit more B4 👏👏👏👏

The best we’ll ever have. Top man.

I’d never spotted the eye before 🐏😉
