So they'll have the 8 point ffp point deduction, plus a 15 point administration deduction I assume? Pretty much automatically relegated them

Refreshing to hear. I would imagine some of those who ran on the pitch in 1983 are my age and still go , long time coming but a bit of karma .        Not that I carry a grudge of course.

Thats what your deserve when your fans invade the pitch with 5 minutes to go

Bitter? Not Moi

Mixed feelings. Don't like to see any club go under especially one with a proud history. However Derby and 1983 are a blight on our past. At the end of the day you have to move on so I guess it's a sad time for Derby and for football.

I was around at that time and like a lot of you was very angry at that time but they do have some fans that are just like you and me, like us they have a deep affection for their club and are, right now deeply worried about their team, just like we would be in their current situation. Of course the actions of those fans way back then was deplorable but a lot of water has gone under the bridge since then and I can genuinely feel a lot of sympathy for them and will end by saying there but for the grace of God.

Odoi, Sess and running on the pitch was final payback for 83. It still bloody hurt.

But I don't think any football fan should take any pleasure from something like this, unless it happens to Chelsea, which would be roundly appreciated by many of the football family for lots of reasons.

They've been terribly mismanaged and its going to take its toll. Big time. and it will be fans and low paid staff that will suffer.

I wish them well and consider us incredibly lucky to have superb owners

This story is far more distressing than our grievances over 1983, when quite frankly I have long since concluded that we were just not good enough to secure promotion.  Failing to beat Cambridge, Chelsea (twice) and other dropped points would have made the Derby last day irrelevant.  Stats show we imploded and Leicester took their chance.  Life is to short and I moved on a very long time ago.

I hope they do not go the way of Bury. I wish Derby fans all the very best.  Just as other supporters wished us well when we were staring into the Clay / Bulstrode abyss.

I don't take any pleasure in seeing a club and its supporters go through the death throes.

Like many others I remember that awful day when the Derby scum attacked our players on the pitch and coming off and the football authorities allowed them to get away with it. But it wasn't all their fans or all the club.

Yes I can't help my childish dislike of the club. But no fan deserves to see his club go through this.

Don't like them one bit, but this is horrible for the players and the fans. Shame on the management and owners.

I've had a read of one of their forums tonight and they're not even really very angry. They are just resigned.  For me, that's really, really sad. I feel for those supporters, even the ones that are now in retirement that were there on that fateful day. 

We know what it's like when you slip out of the second tier and how hard it is to get back. As do lots and lots of clubs that are historically bigger than both Derby and us.

I've never felt so low after a Fulham game as I did that day in 1983 travelling home on the football special,  if their supporters are feeling tonight how I felt that day then I would say we are now quits,
Just need the Karma God's to sort Gillingham now 🙏🏻

Agree. Sad to see this happen to any club.

With you on this Riversider, a truly awful day.  I hope some of their fans who attacked FFC fans on the way back to the station are still around & feeling the pain.

Admin is a 12 point penalty isnt it? Or has that changed? With the rumoured 9 for FFP they lost 21points thats a hard one to come back from

I know how you feel Bobbo, but rather than see Derby go out of business I would rather take a little bit of pleasure everytime we play them by beating them, knowing that it's spoilt their week.... and keep beating them !!
But nothing will ever erase that game or that season.... and the fact that the football Association proved how very corrupt they were.

They actually have a few decent/promising young players in Knight, Sibley and Bird.
