Oh bugger.

BUT, I kind-of know where Carl Sagan is coming from. Josie WAS a dynamic midfield player as an U21 player - he had a touch of the Rioch's about him.
I particularly remember this game against Watford, which turned out to be Peter Shilton's last. A nobber who used to sit behind me hated Josie (I'm pretty sure he didn't like any black players) and was giving him the dog's abuse early on. Josie "responded" by cracking a superb hat-trick against David James and, when the third one went in, I turned around to said nobber and gave him a 3-2-1 sign, with a long emphasis on the 1 ?
 

Danny Dichio?

Thankfully the ticket has gone to a good place. 
@SamTheRam23 will be there with his mate. Good lads both so hope they have a good time and a win.
I'll be muttering into my antimacasser while Mrs VdM plies me with herbal infusions.... ?

Oh boy, here we go, was only a matter of time before they went under the who are you, why are you better than us and the you don’t represent me spotlight.
Would appear that this has come about as that have been “attacks” on other fans from some of the members, so Ryan started looking into them and their authority. Not sure who he is referring to, I only follow one of the members and haven’t personally seen anything, although I don’t tend to stray outside my narrow line on there.
The 13 have been named in the replies now for what it’s worth and their authority comes from the number of Twitter followers they have, where in the world of social media this does represent a membership base. Yes you will have bots, fake accounts in the numbers, however that would represent a very small percentage of that number and still shows a healthy number for the club to interact with.
Not too dissimilar to this forum, it’s just quicker to press follow than sign up here, but that doesn’t make their “member base” any less important.
Gone are the days of filling out forms, paying annual memberships, social club meetings. The internet gives supporters groups far more reach now and if you can create a platform that has enough eyes on, you have a reason why the club will open a line of communication with you.
I had some disagreements with the more traditional supporter group whilst we was in the SCG, we were prevented from releasing the information following the meetings as they wanted time to relay the information to their members via the more traditional methods. My argument was always it’s not about who’s first, let’s just get the information out there. Anyhow I’m going over old ground here.
Am I arsed personally by who the 13 are and how the group came about? Not really, likewise I have no real feelings on how long RamsTrust board members remain in control. At the end of the day if they can provide fans with relevant information I as a fan am grateful for that, stay in power longer than Putin.
The abuse, the commitment to attend meetings, I have to respect the thick skin they have, the resilience to continue for the fans that like myself are grateful.
BAWT will make mistakes as other fans are not so forgiving on the lack of transparency, some will want their chance to be elected,want to know the process and what underwear you are wearing each day.
It’s like those that walk into a hotel room, run their fingers along the top of the mirrors looking for dust, a reason to complain, whilst others just want a bed for the night and a layer of dust will not keep them up all night.

Only £1000 per fan, Cost of living rising daily, Covid still with us, Interest rates rising, Fuel at £7.50 per gallon, Food prices up, Gas/Electric prices going into orbit, Easy to put into words, A little more difficult in practise ?‍♂️

A few should be landing with the excellent supporters of the project to bring to live the first five shirts from our club, the racecourse years, thanks for your ongoing support and your interest in the history of our club.

You think that now, but if we get a buyer and a win at the weekend, you'll be on there giving them this.

Inspired by the comments on this thread! Think they’re all covered ??

I started going to the BBG in the mid-1970's. It may be a memory thing but I was always struck as a very young man how it was mostly {white} males. Today in 2022 it is so much better that football  supporting has a much more balanced demographic; there are still improvements to be made I'm sure, but I love the fact that there are so many more females {as well as non-binary}. 
 
 

Think he said in his Radio Derby interview after the game that he’d had Covid and had since struggled with his fitness. Only now feeling 100%. So that might explain a few things. 

To mark the Day, Derby County has released an awareness video against violence on women.
I have posted it here as it will get more views than if I put it in the Jim Smith Room.
As it is International Women's Day I would like to add something positive and give a big shout out to all my female Derby County mates - whether virtual or matchday mates. Really appreciate you all. 

Triumph in adversity. 
Think of why we're here having spaffed Mels millions on anya blackman zoon and many more..... 
Ravel is giving us more than any of them for 4.5k per week. 
Top guy ?

Bucko!

Bloomin' freezing at Loughborough tonight, but worth it to watch a cracking cup tie with both sides playing well. Just got home and now thawing out! 

I've honestly more or less stopped checking.  Constant refreshing of this forum, Twitter, NewsNow etc was doing my sanity no good whatsoever.  What will be, will be. To be fair, my main focus has been on the horrendous events in Ukraine which has been more of a distraction for me, albeit an admittedly morbid one ? 

@loweman2 absolute wonderful work you and the Rams Heritage folk have done, are doing and hopefully continue to do for the rest of your lives and pass down to your younger family members to love, cherish and to continue to preserve our wonderful history of our brilliant Derby County Football Club.
I noticed one of these concept shirts on ebay a couple of weeks ago, was it one of the Rams Heritage folk selling it? or was it someone else selling it? I talked myself out of bidding for it etc.
Regarding other early shirts, you say you are doing 5 shirts and you have done 3 so far, as per picture above, therefore does that mean you are going to recreate the 1889-90 blue shirts with stripe of amber down front of button holes & 1890-91 navy-blue jersey with cardinal sleeves? If so, the man from Inverurie says Yes.........please, you know what I mean.
But then what about 1895-1924 home and away shirts? or are they covered by the 1923-26 shirts home and away shirts that the Rams Heritage created previously, which you have not mentioned on this thread, but are covered on your brilliant shirts thread? and you know what I'm going to say regarding that home shirt?
@Ellafellacan I borrow your wonderful 1923-26 home shirt, I promise not to iron it!

Brilliant work @loweman2and friends. ?
Often thought that we should make use of our original colours on a special edition shirt. Your concept looks great, although I also like the idea of a collared version too. Thinking some of our puma shirts from the 90s.

I had seen some new negativity coming back in with people criticising players, pretty amazing really. He earns 4.5k pw, he can have some off games that's fine by me. Said he had covid and couldn't get fit again, people need to be realists.

Think he said in his Radio Derby interview after the game that he’d had Covid and had since struggled with his fitness. Only now feeling 100%. So that might explain a few things.

yes lets hope that the club and umbro take some intrest and try to get a bit of our heritage back into the shirts, some thought behind it
