Reality is we are on the brink of not being in any division, time to stop sitting on our hands imo Frustrations are totally understandable in these unprecedented circumstances. When you analyse what needs to happen to change the course of events, it would be something like: 1. A potential owner comes in with a generous bid that will satisfy the financial requirements to keep the club afloat moving forward. 2. Mr Morris takes a charitable stance and agrees to sell PP for a nominal amount (enabling the facilitation of point 1). Considering the two scenarios; what type of protest or supporter venting, would in all probability, motivate either of the above? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree we should sit on our hands and clap when told too, anything else means you’re not a fan and should hold your head in shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BramcoteRam84 Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 Protest outside the ground by all means but in the ground all as one in support of Rooney and the lads and the great escape which is still on although more difficult than it was. In times of extreme adversity this season the team have always delivered. They will again. Think us fans while it’s tough need to dig deep and find our mojo again. I thought we were really flat against Cov as if it peoples belief is waning, and it took the penalty to drag us out of it, we’ve got to snap out of that and believe, be fully behind the team from the first whistle. The staff and squad deserve that from us. David Graham Brown, CBRammette, Indyram and 4 others 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuine question... and not specifically aimed at the individual poster... Are these only "unprecedented circumstances" due to social media? Is this one worse than the last time we so very nearly went under, or does it merely (for want of a better word) appear to be more perilous this time, as there is more information/misinformation/rumour/opinion/hearsay available via the interweb? Are the figures involved this time relatively higher than last time, and/or the situation more critical this time around? Genuine question, as I know very little about the Stuart Webb thing, despite being around back then. From a business survival pov, are we in it a lot deeper this time? It's all becoming rather bleak, and I'm reluctant to be flippant, and assume all will end well, but is it genuinely unprecedented? ?♂️ ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re on the brink of extinction, if you want to go quietly into the night then crack on, I couldn’t live with myself if we go to the wall and I’ve done nothing to fight against it.

Anag Ram Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 Derby’s reputation is in the bin. The one sector of the club which has any credibility is the fanbase. Let’s not ruin that by doing anything to bring the club into disrepute. OohMartWright, kash_a_ram_a_ding_dong, Miggins and 9 others 3 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeds Ram Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 Am in Edinburgh with my girlfriend so can't be there today but shall be listening. I hope people keep off the pitch, whilst there is still hope to avoid relegation disruption to games should not be tolerated. Of course it's frustrating but this season the fans have been united in a way that I have never seen so let's not spoil that. On the football this is really s must win tbh. A draw is not enough. Hopefully the international break will have done them some good so we can find our mojo again. Coyr Rammy03 and David Graham Brown 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You didn’t mention it but others have and you gave the impression that you supported such action, If that’s not the case then fair enough. I think pressure should be applied to the people that can make a difference to our situation but as a fan base I believe it’s our job to get behind the team on match days and the last thing they need right now is people disrupting the match. I certainly won’t be sitting on my hands and I will be there at every match singing loud and proud till the end wherever we finish. #WFTTE. angieram, Kathcairns, OohMartWright and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shipley Ram Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 Cheer them on for me, I'm not going as my house is Covid ridden and although I've not tested positive (yet) the last thing I want to do is go to the match then afterwards feel unwell and test positive, especially as I would be sitting with my elderly parents.
