We have moved twice, once because of other fan's behaviour and now we're looking to move again because of those sitting directly behind us. We are hoping that with the much anticipated reduction of season ticket holders, that this shouldn't be too much of a problem, providing that we can actually discuss the situation with a real human being in the ticket office prior to the Stoke match. Because we sit with people we have sat with for a long time and family. It’s just wrong that fans have go seat hopping to avoid the foul rantings of some fans (and not the exuberance of youth either) Bob Mash 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellafella Posted August 23, 2021 Author Share Posted August 23, 2021 Btw: we almost had a pitch insurgent from the West Stand Lower first half but for an Owen Farrell-like rugby tackle by a steward down by the hoarding on the seat-side; the tacklee hit the ground like the proverbial sack of spuds. I think the fan took issue with the ref over the relentless free-kicks being given for the so-obvious diving by Boro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, a lot of complementary backing up from the other stands as well. There was a point in the second half when we were really under the cosh, with some tasty challenges going in from Middlesbrough and Warnock doing his usual war dance down below us, but it was Derby fans on all four sides who were providing the rhythm that drove our players on. I was quite proud of you all! ? Schoolgirl error! You missed yourself out! "...us all", not "you all"! ? angieram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LE_Ram Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 I've really enjoyed both the Huddersfield and Boro home games so far. It's not fair to say that all those who stayed away are "fair weather" fans, or that they're all "moaners" - people will have genuine reasons for not coming back to PP yet and that's respectable. However, just because not all fans who haven't come back are moaners, some of them are. Certainly from my corner of the East Stand there's a fair few who haven't come back who spent most of the previous seasons groaning and shouting at the players when a forward pass doesn't come off or we lose possession. I've noticed a real togetherness over the last few home games - everyone seems to want to drive the team on and offer their support. We know we're under the cosh and it could be a long tough season but we can at least try our best to be supportive.

The Scarlet Pimpernel Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Its a bit like on here. Some fans are generally supportive and encouraging others are more critical and prefer to point out the perceived faults. Both claim to be fans but I know which group I would rather have a drink with. derbydaz22, Ellafella and Ewe Ram 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkFruitsRam7 Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Fans were cracking again today. I only have two regrets. 1) I wish those in the concourse singing about Nigel Doughty had shut up. 2) I wish I’d grown some balls and slapped the very slappable head of the bloke in front of me who booed the anti-racism gesture before kick off. Other than that, keep it up. Reggie Greenwood, JustOneBiblicalKazim, Ellafella and 8 others 6 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellafella Posted August 24, 2021 Author Share Posted August 24, 2021 Great night despite result. For those who say we’re a mess think again. Loads to be upbeat about. Can’t wait for Saturday; Madame Football can be a fickle temptress but I’m very confident if the first XI can repeat the appetite we showed tonight.

angieram Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Thanks for those who flew the flag tonight. Felt really strange not being at the game and not able to listen on radio either. Looking forward to Saturday. Ellafella and Foreveram 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeedsCityRam Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Its easy singing when you're winning, easy getting worked up against big teams or shouting when chasing a winner. Today after 20 odd minutes, we were 0-2 down to minnows with away support in a taxi. And South Stand still sang & encouraged throughout, different class ? I'm sure our prospective American owners (whichever consortium) were most impressed Indyram, Inverurie Ram, Ewe Ram and 1 other 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed that it seemed very early but I guess we don't have any home games before the 11th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
