Mafiabob Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 They have given fans the choice, claim ticket money back, or let their money be donated to a local kids charity. that's fair enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tombo Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 If they do it, then good. But what is really going to annoy me is hearing fans from a team who have been beaten by maybe 3 or 4 goals, tame scoreline in comparison, also then demanding their money back "like Sunderland did". I know it is exceptional circumstances this time, but you try telling that to an angry football fan who has just traveled to watch his team lose. We all get a bit delusional when we see our team get battered. If this sets a precedent then it is a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tombo Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Birmingham lose 8-0, Blues fans demand their money back "like Sunderland did". This is what I meant. The players may have lost, but they don't deserve the external pressure to give up their wages. It is their money to do with what they choose.

Giving to the fans sets a dangerous precedent as you've said, but you don't deserve to be paid for that sort of result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamNut Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Whats the biggest defeat you've seen us suffer For me, i think it was the 7-1 home defeat to Liverpool. We had mark wright and dean saunders in the team. After 3-0 the other goals don't seem to matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dabber Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Not Derby, but my Mum and Dad went down to London in 1960 to see the 4th round FA cup replay between Spurs and Crewe. The original tie at Crewe had finished 2-2, so most of Crewe got trains down for the replay. Some trains were late and M & D missed the first 10 mins and Crewe were 2-0 down by the time they got in. Final score was 13-2 to Spurs! They got drawn away at Spurs in the 4th round the next year and "won" 1-5! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in the sense of Oscar Pistorius' bathroom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RLACML Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 It's not really dangerous, is it? Not in the sense of Oscar Pistorius' bathroom. Annoying precedent then. Biggest loss I've seen was Livingston at Hibs, we lost 7-0. I was at Anfield when we lost 6-0, sat in the home end and all. I was going mental at a few Derby players but no one minded because of the score. Bywater, Griffin, Todd, Davis, Camara, Malcolm, Mears, Fagan, Oakley, Pearson, Howard. What a team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CumbrianRam Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Derby 0-5 West Ham was the worst result of that season, by a country mile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RLACML Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Derby 0-6 Villa surely? Villa were a decent side, West Ham weren't. I think they were missing quite a few players as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tombo Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Villa were a decent side, West Ham weren't. I think they were missing quite a few players as well. I was going more on our performance rather than the embarassment of losing to West Ham. We were pretty dreadful against Villa from my memory. That stuck out as our worst performance.
