But don't quote me on it! EDIT: Posted before seeing the responses above. The intention was "leaked" on Wednesday 7th May 1884. It was then "officially" announced on 8th May 1884. Then there was the small matter of Derbyshire FA objecting to the name "Derbyshire County" so that led to another meeting and thereafter on 15th May, the name Derby County was announced. (See the picture attached). The detail is all beautifully capture by the superb "The Men who made the Rams" by Peter Seddon- A totally "MUST READ" for any Rams fan. I believe therefore that the official birthday is 8th May 1884. Some of us have proposed holding some kind of commemorative birthday event (possibly at the Old Bell Hotel where the Committee used to meet) but that hasn't gained traction ....yet. But it will eventually, eh @loweman2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamworthram Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Love the phrase “it is desired to render football worthy of the patronage generously bestowed upon it by the public”. Sadly, that’s been lacking in most of games this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was born 68 years later in 1952, and by coincidence I'm still 68 years of age (+10 months). So, I hope I get a party invitation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is only 13 years. I'll even buy you one WHEN we both make it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s scary. 2034 just sounds like a date that should be in the far future in some SCR fi film, when the sun is about to engulf the earth. instead, we’ll probably still be in the championship.
