Day Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 This is probably the best chance since we took the record for our 11 points to be beaten. Come at me all you nay sayers! taffyram, WystonRam, AbuDerbyDave and 3 others 1 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSD Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 (edited) We never had a bigger defeat than a 6-0? Come on, this has got to be the year surely! Edited September 24, 2023 by SSD Comrade 86 and jimtastic56 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBB Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 The 11 point record doesn't bother me. Any football fan you chat to will want to talk about it and listen to stories about it. One fan I met couldn't believe that I had a season ticket and went to every game. He said after about 10 games he would have stopped going and probably never gone back the next season either. Its a badge of honour for me among friends who support massive clubs and have seen them play maybe once or twice in the flesh that I kept going and still do. Worst team in history? Yeah we were. The fans showed they were anything but and we should be eternally proud of that and own it as a club and a fan base. archram, Archied, NG2Ram and 24 others 4 10 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I don't think you're alone with that, I think many now see it as some kind of record that we should protect. Our fans that season were incredible, it's not the nightmare memory other fans seem to think it is. Saying that, big part of me would like to see another club beat it so we're not an answer on Eggheads.

Wolfie20 Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 That season I went to more away games than I had before or since (by some margin) and whilst we got pummelled in most of them (Arsenal, Liverpool, Spurs etc), in a perverse sort of way I enjoyed the trips, spending time with my 2 boys made it all worthwhile. Yes we were, for the vast majority of that season, an embarrassing ragbag of a team but for me anyway the pain of having that record has long-since disappeared. Do I think we will still hold the record come the end of this season - yes I do. Am I bothered? Not in the slightest. oodledoodle, Kathcairns and uttoxram75 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's even funnier when they support teams who have been promoted from the championship like Norwich, West brom, villa and they still didn't go to see them. Liverpool and utd fans that I grew up with had the chance to watch them lift domestic and European titles multiple times and still didn't go. Yet we were there every week to watch utter rubbish, yet we still kept coming back game after game, defeat after defeat trying to back the players and support them. Many clubs won't get that. oodledoodle, Day, archram and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mucker1884 Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 I say ban this topic. Ban it, I say... at least until Easter. By uttering even the merest reference to it opens us up for ridicule. For disappointment. Even heartache for some. Delete the thread. Ban further reference to it. Auto-Censor the number 11, and the word eleven. Let's hear no more of it. We reconvene at Easter... and remember, it's early next year! March 29th (Good Friday) it is then...

WestKentRam Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 I was amazed, when watching MOTD last night, to hear of a Derby County record in relation to the PL and is was nothing to do with the majestic 07/08 season. We hold the record for most consecutive home draws in a season, with four for the 00/01 season. Thankfully Brentford lost 3-1 at home to Everton yesterday, or they would have equalled our record. Surely we deserve a trophy for such a feat. oodledoodle, angieram and uttoxram75 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gee SCREAMER !! Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 The best chance since Sheff Utd had 2 points on Boxing day and still got more or Huddersfield had about 6 till March, then beat Chelsea. Pretty much no chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve How Hard? Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 (edited) Personally I find it embarrassing for us to carry that burden around and would be delighted to shed it. Don't really understand the sentiment of a " badge of honour." I agree with @GboroRam and @Gee SCREAMER !! that it won't be beaten. I console myself with the fact it isn't a bad reflection on the club but a truly shocking manager. He blew it big time. Edited September 24, 2023 by Steve How Hard?

Come at me all you nay sayers! It might have been, until you opened your yawning gap, in the same way you reckoned the league should have just awarded us promotion last season, and we promptly went into reverse. Not only are you stupid, you don't learn either. Mucker1884, Archied, uttoxram75 and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alram Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 This year is the best chance since we broke it it’ll happen but I still don’t see it happen for the reason there is several really bad teams so they will take points off each other. For a team to break that record there needs to be one overly terribly team that everyone beats Rich3478, ariotofmyown and ivo_knoflicek 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
