jono Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 I'm 40 next year and am about the right age to have witnessed football before Sky and since. I missed out on Derby winning the league, and there's always been dominant teams in the top flight during the time I can remember. What does amuse me is that there are people in this thread who have slated the game for being so money orientated, yet the only benefit they can see in promotion is money. I for one couldn't care less if we missed out on promotion, I couldn't care if we lost our best players, as long as we get a fair deal for them, I couldn't really care if Steve and the coaches left, because at the end of it all, players coaches and managers come and go, they a dot on a long timeline. I just want to enjoy going to see my team play football and be competitive. In recent years, I'd have been happy with Nigel had we been this positive and entertaining over his tenure, same under Jewell and even back to Phil Brown. As a fan, there are no advantages to me personally for being in the Premier League. I have no interest in seeing whoever Sky tells me is the star player coming to iPro, and I have no desire to be made to feel unwelcome in a league that is governed by parasites and vultures. Stick your premier league, I'm happy with us as we are, where we are, enjoying the football, and throw in an FA Cup win and I'm in heaven. Just remind yourselves that a manager and players are heroes upon promotion, come January when you're languishing, and fans are booing and every is miserable, you'll be wishing you was at the top end of the championship being the big fish. I am kinda with you on this one. For me the enjoyment is seeing attractive football being played with skill and passion and a majority of victories over defeat. Yes it would be nice to be doing that against the creme de la creme but somewhere a dose of pragmatism is in order. We mustn't knock the PL .. At least there are 6 clubs in the top tier unlike Spain or Scptland for that matter. Sky isn't really the undoing of it all it is just that sky set most of the names in concrete. I don't want to be part of a baying mob if our team is out gunned. So much so a dream win in the cup to warm your heart in your dotage might be more attractive than being an also ran somewhere else. The rider to this is that the WAY we play is crucial. Not watching grim wherever we are or whoever we are. Skill, spirit, passion and goals and a dream. .... Without those .. What is the point.

uttoxram75 Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Promotion And a semi final would fantastic I'd get a semi as well.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North_Stand_Ram Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 I'd seriously fancy us at home against any side left in the competition minus the big 3 left. Hopefully if we win tomorrow we have a winnable draw so we have a great chance of another day out in the capital Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. P Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Can't be bothered to read the thread but I'd say promotion but get to the fa cup final & lose to man Utd or Liverpool who have finished top 4 so we can be in Europe the following season. I think that's how it works anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smalley Ram Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 FA Cup because it is still the stuff of legend. Promotion would be fantastic obviously but for me definitely the FA Cup as it would be a piece of history - I grew up reading about the legends of 1946. Let's face it would you rather we had won the cup instead of being promoted last time (God I know I would). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSC Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Promotion is all well and good, obviously I would love it. This season is our best chance to win the cup I have known and nothing would come anywhere near that. The FA cup is magic and its been one of my dreams for many years to see Derby win it.

I agree, but the only problem with that, is that the likes of Teale and Fagan would have become legends! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostyn6 Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 I agree, but the only problem with that, is that the likes of Teale and Fagan would have become legends! If they'd won the FA Cup, they'd have deserved to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kernow Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Will we see many deleting their votes on the poll and swapping to promotion now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz_The_Ram Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 So can we put this one to bed then now? Fairly obvious what the management team see as more important to our club. I'll side with them every time given their track record thus far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Mills Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 I guess promotion will have to do. It's a shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
