cosmic Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 I managed to catch the whole thing. It felt like an incredibly powerful moment, and very moving at times to hear everyone talk so passionately about our football club's future. All the right points were hit, unanimously sympathetic to our situation and critical of our opponents. A huge thanks must go out to Pauline Latham for getting us on the agenda, and to all the supporting local MPs for helping drive the issue.

Addingham Ram Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 I too watched the whole debate. I never thought I'd see the day when MPs from Nottingham and Leeds, as well as those from Sheffield, Newcastle, Glasgow, Pontypridd, and Rochdale amongst others, all supported our fight with the EFL. And as for the MP for Bury - wow! That short speech alone totally embarrassed and shamed the EFL. I hope they were watching. Good on you sir!

Miggins Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 I'm guessing that many of those who were in the chamber this afternoon have a favourite club or have a close relative who is a fan of one team or another and know just how important that team is to those who support it. They have an idea of how they would feel if it was their club in Derby's position and the impact it would have on the beating heart of their town. They might also have been wondering which team will be next for punishment or demolition. I thought they all spoke very well and I was impressed with the level of understanding and support shown to us and the politeness and civility shown to each speaker. There's hope for politics yet.

Minister being given a proper grilling! Suggestion made that they all get put in a room together, the door is locked and they are not let out again until they have come to a 'pragmatic' solution.

With the PM probably not making it to the end of the week political bandwidth for our cause will be in shorter supply than normal times. Fingers crossed that doesn't happen, but I know what you mean and share your concerns. Ramarena 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand it's reassuring to have someone there who enjoys football and has sympathy with our situation, born out of his own experience.

sage Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Isn't it lovely that the Boro MP points out that Boro are ready to be 'reasonable' in their blackmail attempts. vonwright and RadioactiveWaste 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BucksRam Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Just watched through the whole thing. Very impressed. Well apart from Mr Pragmatic. I may go back and 5-bar-gate how many times he mentioned pragmatic! I'm already proud of this club but watching those MPs, most of whom support different clubs fighting for our survival was pretty awesome. Boro MP made me angry. To stand there and support the claim, and to say not one person there wants us to go under. Argh. I've lost count of how many messages I've seen from Boro fans wanting us to go under. Complete tosh. And yes I'm sure the EFL were watching, and were disappointed..... David Graham Brown, Indyram and I know nuffin 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daly contribution at 14:44:31 https://parliamentlive.tv/Event/Index/bedf5521-3dfe-471b-9e3c-ba77488214db Yep I’ve emailed him too - an eloquent and moving contribution which has already been recognised in Derby and willl be across football more widely Good support for DCFC from across the house this afternoon - in contrast to the EFL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
