Turk Thrust Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 I can recall quite a few posters on here saying that though they have no connections with Derby, they began supporting the Rams from the Glory years of the early 70s. And my brother in law who lives in London and is from near Leamington, has always been a big Everton fan though he can’t remember why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuespachRam Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Kids will always be drawn towards the most successful teams, that is why there is loads of Liverpool fans who are 50 years old now (the last time they won anything)....it why I supported the Supers....I saw them languishing in division 2, slipping towards division 3 and thought, yep thats the team for me....and since then it has been 40 odd years of misery and disgust with a couple of years of amazingness..

I missed out on the Glory years but I did start supporting Derby from the end of 1976/Early 1977. Was in junior school in Luton then Southampton/Bognor/Worthing and never got near to Derby until 2 years ago. Even Luton was after Ilford and Portsmouth. Support your local team doesn't really work when you move around a bit. Anyway, moved to Derby 2 years ago, feels like I've come to a home I never really had. Up The Mighty Rams!

Yep Spot on. This was me back in the day, enjoyed the times when Liverpool came to the local clubs Notts county , Forest and Derby and was taken to watch them and then being aloud to stay up late on a school night to watch their European triumphs on TV (can still hear the brilliant theme music as i write this)But i also always had a Derby season ticket and i guess i grew up. Winning all the time gets boring anyway. C'mon You Rams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millenniumram Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 No surprise given the absolute nightmare they’ve had this season, after such an impressive campaign last time out. They gave him a chance and he hasn’t managed to save them. Not sure sacking him will exactly help in that regard though, that ship has already sailed.

Millenniumram Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Seems a bit premature, they’re not actually in the relegation zone at the moment. Big ask for a new man to come in and turn them around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
