Ellafella Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 (edited) This weekend the eyes of the football world will be on the Rams. Absolutely no point in turning up to protest - that would just be a huge shot in the foot. The situation is what it is. Let's turn up, cheer and support WR and the players. 3 points from a win will give the players a huge boost; siege mentality, fans behind them, nothing to lose. We're in this together. If you can keep your head when all about are losing theirs and blaming it on you...

UTFR Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 No excuse not to turn up and support the lads. If you don't go to this one when they really need you then you cant consider yourself a true fan. I personally cant make it this weekend, but i hope to get to one soon. Mick Brolly, Antonedcfc, Derby4Me and 36 others 1 1 36 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A true fan makes sure they haven’t got anything else on, ie send out fixture list to all your friends and relatives so they organise weddings etc during the off season or international breaks?

I’m just trying understand your logic. You say only those attending on Saturday can be classed as true fans. Yet, you can’t go… I can’t make any of the 3 games in August, due to family commitments. I must be way down the list of fans, probably somewhere between half and fair weather fan. Despite having a season ticket the past 10 years and still waiting for this years. And don’t even mention my dad with his Parkinson’s who can’t get to every game nowadays… All I’m suggesting is that people think before making these grand statements about others.

The_Sheriff Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Somehow people have missed the joke! On a serious note: I do think we have too many fans who are not happy to take the rough with the smooth. Life as a Derby fan will provide lots of ups and downs. I struggle to understand that when a team needs all the support it can get and the club needs help financially, fans disappear. Yes in the rough times it's not enjoyable seeing your team get beat often but we can play our part to help them ride the storm until the good times return. Don't stop turning up if you can help it based on performance. We made Pride Park a bit of a fortress before covid times so it can give us a big advantage if we continue to turn up!

Ellafella Posted August 6, 2021 Author Share Posted August 6, 2021 I'm actually now getting that tingle of excitement as it slowly dawns that tomorrow will be the first league game for 18 months with fans attending. Real shame the fans park isn't open but hope there's a good crowd. COYR! Zag zig and uttoxram75 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyMac5 Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Yes. There's a good interview with Rooney. Rooney: "It Is An Exciting Time For Us" - Blog - Derby County (dcfc.co.uk) Towards the end of it he stresses that everyone is trying to do their best for this club. He emphasises that all the players want to do well for this club - isn't that what fans wanted? Players playing for the shirt!
