Poynton ram Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 Recognising the role DCFC plays in the community are any of the local MPs being vocal about ongoing support for the club? Apologies as I live in the North West so don’t get to see local tv. As others have highlighted the impact the club folding will have on mental health will be massive. Come on politicians step up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall that Maggie did manage to speed up Devon Malcolm getting a British passport in the late 80s - can't say I can remember anything she's done since that though..... Solloway doesn't seem to do much at all apart from tow the party line....(I emailed her about the Derbyshire badger cull - got a templated bull* letter back....) I think Pauline Latham was quite vocal, but I have a feeling that she's a Rams fan anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still not sure what they could do. Bring it up in the Commons that the EFL are unfit for purpose? I suggest there are many much more important things to be debating and sorting out. and that is from an ardent Derby Fan Tamworthram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rammieib Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 Sooner keep MP’s out of it. They will literally offer nothing and then try and claim some success on the back of doing nothing. atherstoneram, RoyMac5, Tamworthram and 4 others 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whiteroseram Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 Like many have said I don't think they can do much, but I'm surprised more haven't jumped on the bandwagon and at least got themselves a soundbite and column out of it before forgetting about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ted McMinn Football Genius Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 These politicians are like ? round ? when they want our votes. But when we want them to do something for the City of Derby, it’s History and it’s population… they are nowhere to be seen… If anyone is really surprised by this course of action I’d be amazed. Politicians very rarely do anything for the public. They may start into politics with the right intentions but before long they all turn into self serving scumbags and that goes for all parties TheSlate and Derby4Me 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
