Radical Idea

[jimtastic56]

Don’t go to anymore away games this season . You won’t be filling the coffers of other Championship teams. Save the cash and use it next season to buy a friend or relative a season ticket . The players will understand.

I thought this as soon as we went into admin and started selling out away ends. We should say we aren’t selling away tickets as we haven’t got an operating ticket office and then keep the money in our own club by purchasing home tickets.  
whilst we’re at it, put all away tickets in our ground upto £40-£50 and fleece other fans. They hate us anyway so may as well add another thing to their list. 
 

we should definitely not sell any boro tickets !!!!

I’m all being petty and doing as much as we can now to pee everybody and the EFL off. Long may ideas like this continue.

For some people, weekends are about football. For some of these people, going to the football isn't the only reason why they go. They like to be with their friends, family or just around other DCFC supporters and this is what they look forward to from the last whistle of the last game.

See if we can have the U18 or U23 games at pride park when our away games are... biggest U18 following in history.

Maybe replace the meat and potato pies with Naga chilli ones in the away end.

They might understand, but they need our support. It's a tough ask to keep giving your maximum performance with (atm) no end nor reward in sight.

It will never happen, imo.

Most of the supporters I know will go to every game, regardless.

If anything, it will make them even more determined to be there.

May as well go into lockdown whilst we are at it..

Absolutely not. I do get your point about filling other clubs coffers but it really isn't about that, besides pretty sure we get a small % of ticket sales for away matches.

If anything, we should be filling that away end every game. Being proud of who we are and that we are sticking by our city and our football club. That's what we do and that is what will happen. The bounce back starts now. Potential new players will see this and understand what a special club we are.

Couldn't agree more.

Whilst we still have players and a coaching staff putting 100% effort in (Before anyone says anything, ability and effort are two separate things), then we as fans should do exactly the same.

Plus - what image would it create if/when we get a new owner on board. I want our new owner to look at our away followings (excluding those who behave like tw@ts) and support and think "Wow".

Do everything the same, just chant from outside the ground whilst watching on RamsTV!

Absolutely, regardless of the joke this makes of competition itself we need to support the team like never before. We don’t want to go into next season all down in the dumps, the atmosphere now needs to ramp up even more to give the players the belief they have our backing no matter what position/division/situation we are in. Anyway what else are you going to do on a Saturday (or Sunday dinner, Monday night, Tuesday night, Wednesday night, Friday night)

 Not missed an away game in 6 seasons , not going to start now , the players need us more than ever now , lets show everyone we are Derby County and proud of it

[Bald Eagle's Barmy Army]

The saying is 'Better Together'. 

If anything, from the supporters I know and spoke to over the past couple of months, this has made them realise exactly what DCFC means to them. 

You can start to take most things for granted in life and this is certainly no different. 

The one thing Derby supporters can do for the rest of this season is show the rest of the football world what a well supported club we are. Through thick and thin, we'll be there and when the good times roll again, we can all say we played our part.

Park the bus against Boro!

Dive, cheat and do what ever it takes to stop them scoring!

And give any team near them in the division a free ride.

I think we'll see more of what we saw in the stands and outside the ground at Coventry, it'll be a day out with every game a dead rubber, the young uns will find their alternative "fun"

Take a huge following (3500) to Boro on Feb 12 & let Mr Gibson know what we think of his meddling. Ensure we inflict defeat on his Club.

I think that's a bad idea. This is a time where we need to show potential owners, players, coaches, staff what a club we could be, what our potential is. This isn't a the to take a backward step.

Maybe we could just boycott the food and drink stalls. I like the idea of Gibson having to take 500 pies home before they go off.
