Their fans mirror Boro's fans. It's like putting the boot into your own when they're down.
Did ewe really have to make such baaaaaaad puns?We shouldn't ram it down their throats, they are bound to be feeling a bit sheepish.
Despite all my expectations, I think WR has actually done a pretty good job as their manager amid the storm of nonsense going on around them. I had expected them to be bottom even without a points deduction pre-season.
I'm not enjoying it, prob because I know a few fans down here. It's all a bit 1986. Some are lashing out at Gibson etc but most know who the real culprit is and he's just going to walk off after dumping them into administration. After singing "We're Derby County, we do what we want" at us the other week it's all gone a bit quiet over there and they're livid with him.It might be cruel but I find it impossible not to find this hilarious
I think I agree with the first bit. I may be wrong but I've not seen much from Derby fans protesting about their dodgy owner so in that sense I don't have a great deal of sympathy. Whereas at Oldham and Bury the fans are making their displeasure known. But I fear about how Boro fans might, or might not, react if we were in a similar situation.Their fans mirror Boro's fans.

True. Fans are saying it's the first time for ages they've heard anything off the club! Don't even think they've sold season tickets, they're getting refundable vouchers or something. Absolute shambles.The administrator is being interviewed on BBC Radio Derby at 11. Will be having a listen to see what is said although I can't imagine it will be much so soon into the process. They have already reopened the ticket office for Fri and Sat, first time this season it's been open.
We've been in a worse situation and it took a while to get from our 5,000 core up to filling the ground againI think I agree with the first bit.

Living here in Derby, there was very little criticism of MM from the locals. Much more thinking he was clever in finding ways to "outsmart" the EFL. Even against us when they chanted that they do what they want.We've been in a worse situation and it took a while to get from our 5,000 core up to filling the ground again
Perhaps you don't hear if criticism from Derby fans because you're a Boro fan, how many fans of other clubs heard criticism of Charlie Amer, how many hear criticism of Steve Gibson?
They had a deadline last week to renew season tickets to keep your same seat but could only do it online. I had to do it for my father in law and it was a right confusing process and even then he had to have his match ticket sent out. Still no season ticket cards so again he will have to log in for the next home game to request a match day ticket to use whilst waiting for the Card.True.

Let's dance or ashes to ashes ?Nice bit of Bowie before the interview
exactly, the 26mill they owe HMRC is absolutely nothing to do with Gibson, neither is the decision to break accounting standards.Neither do I think their fans should hold us or SG accountable in any way for what has happened to them: he pointed out that they were sitting on a timebomb, he didn't put it there.
