superzak Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Obviously being an elderly type of supporter my favourite seasons fell between 1969 and 1975 but after the decline my favourite seasons since were the first 2 years under Arthur Cox. Me and my brother in law went to every game home and away in those 2 seasons and in general we were awful and the away grounds were absolutely terrible but we loved every rain soaked muddy pitch minute of it. My loft is still bulging with every programme from this era ...pre internet when you had to go just to find out who the hell your new striker was and then you realised it was Bobby Campbell lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoyMac5 Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 I quite enjoyed Billy's season, who would know how it would end though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North East Ram Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 My favourite years: 1984-1989 with Arthur 1990 - special mention for Shilton and Wright in the WC semi. Ooh what could've been. 1995-1999 with TBE (and 90 minutes of singing 'bald eagle, barmy army'. Enjoyed the Billy promotion and Mac1 too. Some of the Nigel away days were good but not good seasons. Better days to come hopefully.... the good times are becoming more spread out so we're due something special soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PistoldPete2 Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Yes apart from the glory years, the 1997 to 2000 years , the 2006 -7 season and the 2013-14 season. The back to back promotions in the eighties were good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1of4 Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 1968-1976 were the best. Don't think there'll ever be beaten. The early Jim Smith years weren't to bad until Steve left to join Man U. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The memory fades, large chunks disappear but I still remember watching them lift the trophy on the Council House balcony and climbing a lamp post to get a better view. #glorydays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 97/98, first time I saw the Queen other than on the back of a coin, Baiano, Eranio, Wanchope, smashing Arsenal 3-0. First season in a spanking new stadium, first season ticket, trying to get served alcohol at 15 and succeeding on a couple of occasions. 6ft 4" came with it's advantages. The only blemish on that season was the 2 old guys behind us, yanking our clothes to pull us back in our seats so they could see, the football had everyone off their seats that season as we bared down on goal. Didn't see a single penalty that year, doubt they did either still. Doubt anything will top that season on a personal level, maybe doing a Leicester and winning the title would come close. That's why I'll always defend the stadium, I see @MuespachRam calls it the soulless bowl on the industrial estate, it's an age thing, whilst I remember the Baseball Ground, the terraced streets, smell from the chippy wafting down the real memories I hold are at PP. Same for all those kids you see today having their pics taken with first time at PP certificates, memories being made at the best stadium in the country!

wixman1884 Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 From my experience 13/14 and the first half of 14/15 before the wheels (martin/eustace/buxton) fell off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eargasm Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 My favourite seasons would have to be the early to mid 70's....... I remember this well, and still get chills when I hear the names Hector, Hinton O'Hare...... what a day this was ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uttoxram75 Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 74/75 as a 14 year old, home and away, winning the league title... Late 70’s, early 80’s despite shockingly bad football, having the time of my life up and down the country getting into all sorts of mischief following the Rams.

AndyinLiverpool Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 The late 80s with Arthur. The football was good, we had players I still consider to be heroes - Forsyth, Sage, Hindmarch, George Williams et al, we had successive promotions and, most of all, after the shambles of the early 80, it was a daily joy to still have a club to support. I was also young and getting laid, which, I admit, might tint my glasses somewhat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RadioactiveWaste Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Since I've been following, the Burley play off season, 04-05, the Poison Dwarf 06-07, Mac1 13-14 And, weirdly, 09-10 under Nigel Clough. It was mostly awful but I got to a lot of games, 10-12 i think rather than my standard 4-6 due to location. And that win over Forest made redundancy process in an office full of red dogs just a little less miserable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loweman2 Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 For me I think it has to be this one ! I was 17 at the time, just started work, money in my pocket, discovered beer and the ladies, Life was good ! The gloom of the late 70s and early 80s that I had grown up with and been used to watching was lifting from the BBG and the good days were back ! Derby were on a roll with back to back promotions and were back in the big time ! Arthur coxes blue and white army ! We’re not mad we’re ****ing barmy ! good days !

MuespachRam Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 I loved the seasons we had in division 3, going to places like Shrewsbury and Newport and taking over the place...but if I had to pick then it would be the champions led by King Arthur... oohhhh Bobby Bobby.... scoring goals for Derby, Phillip Gee bruceys got big ******** mickle mickle white we all agree Georgie’s better than Robbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PodgeyRam Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Being just a young lad - the Billy Davies promotion season was the first time I really paid attention to Derby - the two seasons encompassing Mac 1 were my favourite. Superb attacking football, played by a youthful team that was only stopped from going up twice by rotten luck imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
