And I too had learned the art of the bent over subtle fist pump and whispered "Get in!" Taken out of context that could be something quite sexual. ?

TKWhy Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Hey everyone, I have been an occasional lurker over the past couple years, but have been visiting and reading much more frequently over the last couple months. I have made a couple posts on the Derby County subreddit, but this is my first post here. I though it would be a good time to introduce myself, because I recently booked my first trip to see the Rams at Pride Park! I will be coming through for the Leeds match and can't freakin wait! I most likely will be traveling alone so I will be looking for new friends to grab a pint with. A little about what brought me to the Rams. I am American and have been a supporter for a few years now. I first gained an interest in Derby County through pure coincidence because I was born and raised in a city called Derby over here in America. When I found a team in Derby, England I decided to start following, kind of casually at first. But this was spring 2014, casually quickly turned rabid, and I was glued to the screen for the playoff final. The emotions I felt after that one sealed my new identity and I knew this team was the right fit. Today, I am a RamsTV subscriber and rarely miss a match. I'll definitely be tuned in tomorrow and will try to pop in the game thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob The Badger Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 I'm Tim originally from Bakewell but spent most of my adult live in Matlock. Moved to Florida in 2006 and whereas I hate the political climate I freakin love the weather. Attended my first game as a nipper sat between my dads legs in the B Stand in 1969. Had a season ticket for about 30 years in the B Stand, C Stand, Ossie upper and then PP. Used to love going to away games. Out the house at the crack of dawn and then back to the Pav in Matlock Bath and Home at 3am My old man was good friends with Sam Longson, a few directors and some players and I'll be boring you with some of the stories moving forward. I've no clue why I picked Bob The Badger as a nickname, I can only presume I was high. Oh and I'm a raging liberal and loather of Trump. Favorite players if all time, Colin Todd, Charlie George, Kevin Hector, Gerry Daly and whoa Bobby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigfella Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Thought I had better introduced myself as I broke my duck last night by commenting on some of the England denigration that went on following our defeat to Croatia. I was born and raised in one of the terraced streets near to BBG and was hooked from a young age. I was a STH for a number of years until circumstances kept me away. I renewed my ST when we moved to PP, both to follow my team, and also as a form of bonding with my young son - it worked and he is hooked and sits next to me in the stadium! I have resisted the urge to post previously but following the diatribe last night I had to speak out - and I got two likes so I’ll probably do it again! Off to Notts on Saturday- can’t wait. Keep the faith! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pearl Ram Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Ah Shaftesbury Street, immortalised in a chant from my youth. And if you walk down Shaftesbury Street, you’ll get a jolly good talking to, Be off with you, you Forest rascals We are the Derby boys...or something to that effect, the memory isn’t what it was.
