Have never booed a player, including opposition, in 50 years (apart from Norman Hunter). It's easy to blame the fans but we pay the money - everyone else at the Club gets very highly paid. We know we're not going to win every week but we have a right to expect a degree of professionalism and, as stakeholders, customers and fans, to be treated with respect. So no squealing (grow up), just a simple request for the Club to treat us in a respectful way. You watched Leeds and only booed Mr. Hunter?Shame on you,I booed all of them,still do.

If an owner can't get the basics right, what chance has he with the big decisions - like providing kedgeree or eggs benedict - or French toast, for goodness sake.

We are the Club but get nothing these days in response to the obvious questions that everyone, including the media, is asking. Why sack Clement with no replacement? Why throw in the Youth team coach? Why spend all that money on largely inferior playes. And, most importantly, what are you going to do about it? So presumably you want the club to hold group therapy sessions where everyone shares their feelings with the room. And the we can all have PTSD remedies and of course "compensation" .. Yawn the answers to the questions are all blindingly obvious to anyone with any intellect or football knowledge; or they have already been answered (apart from who might be the next manager and I suspect that is still undecided or work in progress so it's hardly likely to be on the FAQ page of the club website. ) surprising though it may seem, supporting your local team has never been easy whether it's Derby County, Manchester United or even Gresley Rovers. It's a football club not a piece of IKEA furniture with an instruction book and an Allen key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Sagan Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 The club treats the fans spectacularly well. They listen and moved away support into the corner to create the South Stand. Mel put his hands into his own pocket to help fund the 1884 Group. Twice members of this very forum have been invited to meet with the Chairman and others. There are regular fans forums to attend or watch online. No complaints. In fact we always seem to win Community Club of the Year. The complaint seems to be instead questioning judgement and decisions about playing matters, but that's really nothing to do with the treatment of fans. I do think expectations have been raised because of the money spent and the utopian scenario of a local fan made good and comoing in to lead us to the promised land. Also, I agree with Alpha that the fans have treated players really badly at times over the last couple of years, although I partly think that's a social media phenomenon and I also think it's partly people from other clubs masquerading as Rams to make mischief. But if it's anyone on here, you really need to take a long hard look at yourselves. I've been surprised and disappointed by many of the decisions, whether it's buying players, appointing or sacking managers and then the team we put out, but I am a supporter and will always back my boys. As far as I see it, the fans have been and continue to be well-treated; it's just the senior people at the club are making bad footballing decisions.

Detail that we are looking to replace Wassall with someone more experienced while he carries on doing the job regardless? Now I am not saying these are the facts, but if they were the case, why on earth would the club admit it in public? Grow up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been a fan for 50 years - I was cheering them on at Burnley, Middlesboro, Plymouth and Carlisle etc in the seventies when I was 9 or 10. I don't need any lectures about being a fan. And yes I will still back the team. But this lot are taking the piss by making crazy decisions and failing to give any justification. Do the fans count for nothing in your eyes? So no I don't expect them to run it past me first but when mistakes have clearly been made I expect them to be honest, tell the truth as far as possible and treat fans with respect. Like Sam Rush used to. Once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
