Oxram Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 In recent years I have noticed more and more commentators referring to us as 'County', This may just be me noticing it more not it being said more, but to me 'County' has always been Notts County. I have never referred to Derby County as just 'County' and correct anyone who asks me about 'County'. To me calling Derby 'County' is like calling Forest 'Notts Forest' and it not something derby fans seem to do but in the media we get called County all the time. Does dropping the Derby bit annoy anyone else? (I wanted to do a Poll but i don't have that button. If someone could do one It'd be interesting to see the results) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alph Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Derby and Rams are shorter than County. County are Notts We don't have enough polls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
needles Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 I prefer us to be called Derby County. In full. "Derby" I don't mind, "the Rams" I don't mind, "County" I don't connect with at all, but I can't find it offensive. Whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why it bothers me so much but every time I hear it it really grates. Like needles said, If I ever overheard someone talking about "County", it wouldn't occur to me they were talking about Derby at all. I've noticed it more and more recently, I reckon Manish is putting them up to it just to piss me off.

bcnram Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 What is the issue? We are Derby County, that is the football club's name and has been for way over 100 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsmini Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 This has been a bug bear off mine for years. Our correct name is of course Derby County, but we have never been known as just County. Even the club do not use this. Do we sing 'We are Derby, Super County'? nope. Of course people can call us what ever the please. Just please journalists do your research!!! And please mods you need to check your expletive checker as some words are getting through!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brammie Steve Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 In the early '70s I used to hear (Burton) Albion fans refer to "Summer" County, a type of margerine, but apart from this I only ever heard "Derby" used on it's own, never County unless it was to disinguish between two Nottingham teams. "County" on it's own has never meant Derby County and if anyone finds that too much to pronounce try.."The Rams!" In other words... [size=5] Baaaa Humbug!

Pearl Ram Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 I've always wondered why Stockport County are so called, I mean, there isn't a county called Stockportshire is there ? Anyway, anybody that refers to us as County is obviously a know nothing f***wit, We are Derby, simple as. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
