Losing 0-3 at home I mean really ! 30,000 home fans that's good I'd say when it's on TV The team didn't turn up. Oh, Curtains. I'm not blaming the home fans for the defeat to Hull. Let me repeat what the most important person in my life (apart from Kurt at Belgiuminabox) said, to me, when we got home in the early hours of this morning... Quote The fans at Hull tonight were absolutely brilliant. What a pity that many of the home-only fans don't recognise the harm they do on occasion with their negativity. Not everyone is negative all the time - not even you, although I'm struggling to remember the last time you were positive about anything. Take the passion, the fervour and the noise of the 2,300 Rams fans who went to Hull - now multiply that 12 or 13 times to get our average 28,000 or 29,000 home gate. Can't even you imagne what that would do to Derby's team - they would all think that they were unbeatable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were you at Colchester standing up and Hillsborough against Man U like me I suppose you was . I was at Notts County away when away fans were booing some time back. Away fans got annoyed at Rotherham this season didn't they. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thierry Ennui Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 I was disappointed that we didn't fill the stadium on Saturday but I don't think the crowd can be blamed for anything beyond a few idiots booing certain players. And every club has its idiots. There are relatively few home stadiums in the world which maintain a good atmosphere when the team is playing poorly. The ones that spring to mind, from Germany, have men with megaphones and a determination to keep the atmosphere noisy. Derby don't have that, but I'd wager our home crowd are better than most. Away fans are always louder and more committed than home fans but that's the same everywhere. They're the hardcore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van der MoodHoover Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Every game is an away game for me and mates so we're always making our best efforts to join in all the songs. Perhaps it's something to do with the level of personal investment made to get to the game generating it's own level of defiance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think we hardly even got into the Liverpool half all game and yet we never shut up all game long. We knew we were getting a hammering but decided collectively to make the most of it and have a jolly good sing-along. We even got a round of applause from the Kop at the end of it! I've still got the ticket stub from the match in my wallet and it makes me smile whenever I see it. I remember that game Liverpool could of scored double figures that night but the Derby fans were amazing all game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Anfield atmosphere on TV (when I could watch it, so terrestrial, so european football) got me so excited to go, plus I liked Liverpool - always routing for them. Naive young me didn't realise that what I saw on TV isn't how it usually is. All the big clubs fans are silent as mice when they're playing the likes of Derby.
