Ramfambo Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Ok so a little time before the next home match. Given we know that there has been some genuine interest in potential new ownership its fair to say there would be some representation in the ground for home matches going forward. How about a show of support for the club with something like a minutes applause in the 18th and 84th minutes to honour the year we were founded 1884. Standing ovations would be more potent. I know the atmosphere has been great lately but might just highlight the loyalty of our fan base and prove we are with the club through thick and thin. I know we show support by being there and all show support in many ways but anything extra the Derby Army can do might be good for solidarity and show we are all in it together. Bit of time to get the message out there but im no expert in how to do that! Someone with media links or maybe the club itself getting involved? If its been mentioned elsewhere apologies I dont post much but just thinking of something different. We do it to commemorate people passing ar certain times but this is to show we are very much alive and kicking!

Ted McMinn Football Genius Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Works for me. Trouble is we usually make such gestures in memory of someone that has passed away. Hopefully the club don’t see it as that ???♂️? obviously I’m not being serious ? ? minesahartington 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mucker1884 Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Doesn't the traffic start to build up before 84 mins? Shame we weren't founded in 1875! ? 48 hours, i-Ram, MuespachRam and 7 others 1 1 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramfambo Posted October 12, 2021 Author Share Posted October 12, 2021 Fair point how about a full minute of the old classic" we love you Derby ..we do etc etc" maybe more upbeat. I also considered clapping at 84 minutes might not go down too well with all those clearing off five minutes early around us!.☺️ Mucker1884, Derby4Me and hydraulic ram 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mucker1884 Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 No really... It's a nice idea, and one I'd go along with. And hey, I could even tell those around me that it's actually in honour of my surname, so I'll look really, really cool! ?? 48 hours 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramfambo Posted October 13, 2021 Author Share Posted October 13, 2021 Thanks for the advice. I do already go home and away and partake in a singalong. Maybe the point was missed and the significance of who might be there blurred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
