This one keeps bubbling nicely with a Boro fan now gunning for Derby and calling for a points deduction and fine.

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.
This is stupid now, the only saving grace that at least it isn't a Cardiff fan starting this.
This should now be left in the hands of the EFL.

I'm sure that if it gets to 1500 the European Court of Human Rights will have to consider it.
Take that, Derby!
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.
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?
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.
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.

Nearly up to 1500 now
How many more do they need before this gets discussed by parliament?
There’s a link to the petition on the Nottingham Forest Forum - that should drum up some business for it !
