No, No, No!

As for shitey wee plastic flags with plastic sticks for plastic fans......Noooooo.

Or rattles, vuvuzelas, streamers, ticker tape......Noooooo.

Sing, chant, hum along, clap your hands, stamp your feet, roar, howl.......30000 home fans doing any of them will give you all the atmosphere you need, ideally in unison.

If anyone near me brings these fecking things there's a strong possibility they'll be keeping them warm up their arse for the duration. Mind, if half the things that the jakey wee lassie next to me tells her pal about what she gets up to on a Friday night are true she could probably accommodate a shed load...

I'm going to bring my piano accordion . I'll keep tw@tting both of the sat next to me all game, but don't worry, it'll ramp up the atmosphere.

 

I expect there'll be a fully-fledged German Oompah Band to add the appropriate accompaniment to the Rauchbier I hope that we sell in the bar.

Please Mr Vickers - I know you read these boards..and seeing as your overcome by tweets..

Please. Don't allow these in. They won't add anything at all to the atmosphere except spoil it.

Who's idea was this anyway? Maybe somebody who doesn't go to the ipro often, someone who can't appreciate what it means to have a great atmosphere, one which is generated by the fans' voices.

We've never needed silly things like this before, please don't introduce them now, we don't need them. This is perhaps one of our most important home games, let the fans express this without being drowned out by these stupid things.

There is another thing you could do to make the atmosphere grow naturally, is to turn off the pre-match music altogether, let the excitement, chatter and chants grow. Instead, at the minute, I have to shout to make my family hear me and they are sat right beside me. It's not great tbh.

Anyway, if nothing else, please get rid of these, we don't want this spoiling.

Thankyou.

Derby Telegraph's Thunderstick giveaway plans shelved for Play-Off Semi Final Second Leg on Sunday.
 

The Derby Telegraph has decided to abandon its Roar on the Rams Thunderstick giveaway after listening to the views of fans.

 

The paper had planned to distribute the inflatable black and white batons to Derby County supporters in advance of Sunday’s play-off semi-final second leg against Brighton at the iPro Stadium.

 

But fans made it clear via social media and through calls and emails to the club that they were not in favour and felt that their use – rather than adding to the atmosphere – would be unwelcome.

 

As a result, plans for the campaign have been shelved.

 

Derby County prides itself on its fan engagement strategy and takes the views of its supporters very seriously, working with them over the last 18 months to create better fan relations and a much enhanced match day environment within the iPro Stadium.

 

Similarly, the Derby Telegraph values the opinions of its readers. It will continue with its overall Roar on the Rams campaign, to showcase the city’s support for Derby’s play-off campaign. - http://www.dcfc.co.uk/news/article/roar-on-the-rams-update-1540000.aspx

Still seems a bit weird to me. If the club came up with the idea themselves they'd be pilloried for introducing American gimmicks, but this has come from a local paper who you'd expect to know better.

 

What a nonsense that was.
