Heanor! followed by everyone else shouting Sharples! always springs to mind. When the round up was done everyone chanted Derbyshire! Derbyshire! Derbyshire!

I think he/she's feeling left out with all the recent talk of how much the club means to the city of Derby and how much of a blow it would be to the city if we were to liquidate. Presumably he/she is from somewhere outside the city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derby COUNTY We're here too....... I wouldn't get too upset about it mate. Everyone knows that a good chunk of the fanbase lives outside the city boundaries. Derbyshire, Northeast Leicestershire and East Staffordshire have huge Rams support, but for the sake of a slogan, its a bit easier to say City than try to encapsulate the diaspora of the sheepshag army! ?

SandiacreRam Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 I assume this is about the new flag. We are Derby County , as soon as I saw the design I felt that it was a pity that no mention of Derbyshire , but understood that from a simplicity and design point of view ‘City’ worked best... well done to the guys who designed and sorted flag out so quickly . Once we have come through this???then it would be great to see a Derbyshire and say East Staffs and NW Leicestershire flag or flags recognising that a large part of our support comes from these areas Kathcairns and Mihangel 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angieram Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Jake who started the fundraiser and presumably came up with the wording, comes from near Burton. Fact is, Derby County is a football club based in the city. There are no other large clubs in Derby, we are known as a one club city. I would argue that a lot of the economic impact of the club is in the city (notwithstanding all those posh gaffs the players live in out in the leafy suburbs!) It says Derby County on there and that's good enough for me. My club, that welcomes supporters from anywhere.

I've seen Matlock, Buxton, Heanor, Ilkeston, Ripley, Belper, Ashbourne, Burton rams flags. Ive got a Uttoxeter rams flag, theres many, many more as well. I think your right about the quickness and simplicity of just getting it done asap was the main thing.

That’s why it’s called Derby County RadioactiveWaste and Rambam 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crewton Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 I'd also like to put a word in for the contingent of Rams fans who work for the Post Office in Tralee, County Kerry, Ireland, who won't be the slightest offended by not being mentioned in promotional literature.
