Has the lockdown(s) made you care more about Derby?

33 Years away from Derby, so Rams TV again for me as well.

Always been a happy clapper, so I'm looking forward to seeing how Rooney

manages with everything stacked against him! I still haven't written him off, 

and genuinely believe that we will end up middle of the table, siege mentality 

sounds good to me.

I feel more or less the same but Derby helped me through lockdown because, like Everest, it was still there, even at a distance. .. a symbol and semblance of normality, something to look forward to, something to hang on to. That said, TV is so very sterile, I’d get distracted very easily while the game went on. At times it just went on in the background. At a live game practically every kick it has my whole attention.

I really welled up went I went to the first friendly, lump in my throat, eyes stung as they announced the teams were in the tunnel. Vastly more emotional than I realised was ever possible.

I’m amazed that even folk care less and have no interest in going to games (unless it’s travel, cost or safety) then why are you still on this forum and posting on this thread?

Not sure that is aimed at me but if it is ....

I do care - that is part of the problem.

I have supported Derby since 1972

I cannot give it up

I have almost given Football up

But I still care about Derby

It is like an addiction

As someone else alluded to - Derby county is a constant in my life - perhaps the only one

I will not ever give it up completely - I do not want to

Travel and Time are the reason I do not attend many games

I think that makes me a valid forum user ?
