Ken Tram Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 Is it the 140th on Monday? I always get the date wrong! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimbeard Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 As posted by @Ellafella 1n 2021: The intention was "leaked" on Wednesday 7th May 1884. It was then "officially" announced on 8th May 1884. Then there was the small matter of Derbyshire FA objecting to the name "Derbyshire County" so that led to another meeting and thereafter on 15th May, the name Derby County was announced. (See the picture attached). The detail is all beautifully capture by the superb "The Men who made the Rams" by Peter Seddon- A totally "MUST READ" for any Rams fan. I believe therefore that the official birthday is 8th May 1884. Some of us have proposed holding some kind of commemorative birthday event (possibly at the Old Bell Hotel where the Committee used to meet) but that hasn't gained traction ....yet. But it will eventually, eh @loweman2 Reggie Greenwood 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simmoram1995 Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Genuine question, when we went into administration and Saint David saved us are we on paper a new club to the one prior to admin? E.g. Rangers on paper are essentially a new club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original, The Derby County Football Club Limited, incorporated in 1896, has since been renamed to DC Realisations 1 Ltd - and is still in administration. The current iteration is Derby County (The Rams) Limited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In reality though, we're not a new club because Derby County has a continuous existence, as I understand it, through the transfer of the Golden Share as approved by the EFL. We never lost our membership of the EFL, whereas Rangers lost their membership of the SFL for a time.

The "legal trading entity" name may have changed but the club never lost its league status, despite the best efforts of the EFL, so Derby County formed 1884 it is.

Stive Pesley Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Just waiting for the first person to say that 140 years is not good enough - and we'd have got 150 years if we'd got rid of that clown Paul Warne earlier in the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elwood P Dowd Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 (edited) We did amalgamate/merge with Derby Midland FC and they were formed earlier than the Rams perhaps we should claim their formation date, after all we do play in Derby Midland colours 😂 https://www.greatbritishlife.co.uk/magazines/derbyshire/22632413.rise-fall-derby-midland-football-club/ Edited May 13 by Elwood P Dowd Spelling Ewetube 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
