Comrade 86 Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 2 hours ago, Crewton said: I'd like to hear the EFL come out and say this because I doubt that another club making an unprovable claim against a club in Administration would ever be classed as a legitimate creditor. If that is the EFL's position, it proves that this is about killing off DCFC, not the integrity of their precious competition. Spot on. If the situation is as reported, and I have my doubts, then the most ironic aspect to this whole sorry saga is it could very well herald the end of the EFL, at least in its current guise. Whereas Derby were very much the focus for most of the last two years, the light is shining brightly on Parry and co now and it's really not a good look. Their zealousness to punish us to the full letter has left them squarely between a rock and a hard place and I really can't see how they survive this unscathed.

Ramos Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 7 hours ago, angieram said: How many posters advocating we boycott the Middlesbrough game are regular away attenders themselves? Curious to know as none of the people I chat to at away matches are intending to boycott. We should be selling it out and making our voices heard. I get the sentiment people are saying to say by not give money to boro - but I think it’s letting Gibson off the hook by not being there and letting him know what he’s doing. Also the team needs us more than ever, every game for the rest of the season. Comrade 86, r_wilcockson, WharfedaleRam and 2 others 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anag Ram Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 If there’s to be a protest then it has to elicit sympathy’s not scorn. Fans will be representing Derby County football club and the last thing we need is behaviour likely to turn the public and the authorities against us. cstand, WharfedaleRam, archram and 8 others 2 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For one game only don't go the press will then get on it, put your money this day to local teams, Belper, Matlock, Alfreton, Mickleover or whoever, an extra 200/300 on a gate will see them right for a few months. Gibson doesn't care less what u chant, vote with your feet then other supports might get behind us more than ever. The_Sheriff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people will go regardless so the story will be 'not that many away fans travelled from the bottom 3 club'. Hardly compelling. Protests outside, banners, delaying the team bus, throwing blow-up balls on the pitch to delay the start...whatever...that is a story. Even wear black arm bands (and ask the players to do it too) to highlight the death of the club ... I'm not sure exactly but I do know 'not going' isn't a headline story.

AndyB Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Yes the only way not going would work is if the club decided not to sell the tickets at all as a protest so there would literally be zero in the away end. Several thousand supporters have different views as this thread shows so no single outcome would come if the fans decided. falconram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jono Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 This should be firmly placed at the EFL’s door. It’s their competition, their rule book, their members. They are failing to administer the leagues in a fit and proper fashion. That’s before we even get to law, logic, common sense and fair play.

Maxwell Baxter Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 (edited) I'm in no way a regular attendee of matches anymore so it's maybe not for me to say but I'm with boycotting this match. Whatever happens it has to be done peacefully and in style. Personally I think the really classy thing to do would be to find a small local charity in the Middlesbrough area and donate the cost of a ticket to them. Just image 2000 Derby fans doing that it would bring in over £50000 and it will gain a lot of publicity and show us in a great light. Even thought I would not have been attending the match I'll happily put in £30 or whatever a ticket would cost. By choosing a Middlesbrough charity it will show we have no problem with Middlesbrough, just there owner who in the long run with his action if true, may well end up doing more damage to his own club than to Derby Edited January 10, 2022 by Maxwell Baxter typo's Tamworthram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donnyram Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 15 hours ago, Anag Ram said: Our few pounds of ticket fees won’t make much difference. Cheering our team to three points would harm them more. Keep them in mid table mediocrity. Agree with this….. 3000 @ £30 = £90k If us taking 3 points means they miss out on a play off place then they lose a guaranteed £45m ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
