Rev Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 I can't speak for anyone else, but I selected which football team to follow based on the quality of the No 1 unofficial fans forum of all 92 clubs. The club support this forum by placing advertising on it, which I'd imagine is both relevent and unobtrusive. I'd also guess it's not anything like enough to cover the running costs, more a little helping hand. I'd still like the option to donate/subscribe, I'd willingly do so. I also think the the forum owner and his volunteer mods take a very neutral hand when it come to the moderation of anti club/club employee postings, I've seen nothing in my time here to suggest the club interfere in any way on the content posted. It's maybe a little different when it come to non-football related stuff, and risque images, but I can see why the forum verges on the side of caution when it comes to non essential issues. It's a fantastic space on the internet, refreshingly free from profanity, where like minded individuals are free to engage each other in a mostly respectful manner, quite unlike the majority of other football forums. In short, maybe isn't the best forum on the internet, but it's in the top 1. Which is all due to @David and his band of brothers and sisters who volunteer their time to make it so. Well done all, I really mean it, and many thanks too, I feel you don't hear that enough. I hope you'll keep on regardless of what happens on the pitch for many years.

Millenniumram Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 In all seriousness, of course this forum will survive. We’re not just Derby fans when the going is good - we’re Derby fans for life. I know I’ll still be here in League One, and I’m sure most of us will still be following the club as we always have done. Relegation won’t change anything in that regard. The only thing that could would be the threat of administration, which I don’t think is off the table right now, given our off the pitch issues. Let’s hope we still have a club to support next season at least! archram and Tamworthram 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just have to say, I appreciate this post, more than you will know. This season has been the most difficult for myself personally, the moderators have been effin brilliant and I’m so grateful for the work they have done. They take a lot of stick at times, but without them this forum wouldn’t exist regardless of what division we are in. archram, Wolfie, Carnero and 4 others 1 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abu Dhabi Ram Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 I do occasionally go on other clubs forums, to see how ex players are getting on. Hughes ? I have to say this forum is excellent in comparison, loads of diverse opinions, good humour and knowledgeable insight (Not by me!) If we are in league one, bring it on, the forum will get us through it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
