    Hi,

    I know some on here do not like Derby but my in laws are from Derby and the brother in law is a big rams fan and season ticket holder. I have been there numerous times and although they all know me as a Saint we always have a great time and some real good banter.

    This season they have already had 21 points deducted and now the EFL are threatening more sanctions which could result in liquidation. They are a club very similar in size and history to us so I ask that you all look at the petition below and sign it, if a club this size can go under them we are all at risk.

    Please sign to help fellow fans that are all part of the football family and a very nice bunch.

    Thanks Bob

    I don't like the ways that a team having difficulties is not being helped, and is being kicked while they are down.

    I don’t really understand what I’m signing. Can you clarify the situation? How do Middlesbrough and Wycombe come into it? And what outcome are you looking for, apart from the government to look at your situation?

    Derby's ex owner broke the rules with dodgy dealings over the stadium and spent way too much on top players, Wycombe think they got relegated last year when Derby should have had a points deduction for the above, probably valid. Middleborough argue that they got a deduction for similar stadium antics and would have been promoted if they hadn't.
    Derby are in administration and need a buyer, they have now been punished for the above, 12 and 9 points. They league are now threatening more punishment which is putting off potential buyers and if not sorted this month they could be liquidated.
    Hope that helps.

    I think it was the numerous bottles of piss thrown over us whilst in the lower tier at Pride park that put me off Derby County

    I listened to the Derby situation on Talk Sport this a.m. Summary take away was that they are F**ked.
