Petition calling for Derby to be docked points!
This one keeps bubbling nicely with a Boro fan now gunning for Derby and calling for a points deduction and fine.

841 signatures so far.
Derby have done wrong and shouldn't get away with their actions - but I prefer to see fans of clubs in the play-off fight with Derby taking the lead when demanding punishment from the EFL.
It won't come to anything, but the pressure and bad publicity may keep other clubs honest in the future.

It does seem like they've called it off to suit their own needs rather than genuine safety concerns, and I completely understand fans being aggrieved at wasted time, effort and expense, but this is a step too far, the fans get punished as much as the people who made the decision.
Plus it adds Derby's perception of 'injustice' for the rearranged game which will give their fans and players an added incentive to win it. I agree to let it lie and concentrate on our next fixtures.

Totally agree. The travelling fans have my sympathy, and hopefully they will be recommpenced but this is getting ridiculous now.

Re: Petition calling for Derby to be docked points!
This is stupid now, the only saving grace that at least it isn't a Cardiff fan starting this.

Re: Petition calling for Derby to be docked points!
This should now be left in the hands of the EFL.

Re: Petition calling for Derby to be docked points!
1,074 signatures now.
I'm sure that if it gets to 1500 the European Court of Human Rights will have to consider it.
Take that, Derby!

Re: Petition calling for Derby to be docked points!
Its all very well being cynical about a protest, petition etc but why shouldn't fans protest? We all know they pushed for a postponement.
There are many other things fans should protest about also.
Some prefer to roll over onto their backs waiting for there stomach to be scratched.

Re: Petition calling for Derby to be docked points!
We've allowed teams to charge extortionate amounts for tickets, allow stupid rendezvous points for tickets, ban our fans all together (Wolves), bubble trips here and there, but this is the one that we get the most angry about?

Re: Petition calling for Derby to be docked points!
It's clubs like Middlesbrough, the wurzels, Preston and Sheffield United who are hardest hit by the postponement not a team who are chasing automatic promotion - I don't blame the Boro fan at all for starting a petition.
I've signed it anyway.

Re: Petition calling for Derby to be docked points!
Lots of conflicting information flying about now, just to confuse matters. Everybody knows the truth, Derby called it off because they had a crap team available for the game.
If only the EFL weren't faffing about and sorted it out straight away instead of issuing a statement on Sunday without investigating the facts, all this escalation probably wouldn't have happened. All we need now are petitions from all the other play-off contenders which if I am not wrong could just about happen.

Was wondererin when the other clubs around them would kick off, affects them far more than us. They could perhaps get the 3 points now and pip say the wurzels to 6th place ( now would I mind for real😜😜). Imagine how jursetty carrot boy would feel eh?

Agreed. It’s easy for us to say let it go, these other clubs are the ones that really stand to be affected by Derby’s cheating.

How many more do they need before this gets discussed by parliament?

Joking aside, if some football mad MP raises it with the minister for sport they will have to do something. questions to ministers are regarded as serious things, whatever the subject.

Re: Petition calling for Derby to be docked points!
There’s a link to the petition on the Nottingham Forest Forum - that should drum up some business for it !
