Yesterday, I released another football-related project called World Cup KickOff.

It’s probably easier to just go visit the website to see what its all about as you’ll figure it out within seconds but basically its a website that lists the entire schedule for World Cup 2006 which you can download and import into your personal organiser. You can personalise the listings to individual teams/countries or groups, even change the timezone so you know the kick off times for where you’re from.

Anyway, go visit the website and download the matches to your Outlook calendar. At least then, when you’re down the pub organising where you’re watching it you will know when England are playing through the miracles of your mobile phone.

With the 2005/6 Season well and truly over, I will be attempting yet another redesign of the Super Rams website before the next season commences. The problem is, what shall I do?

The majority of the work involved will revolve around the content. I’ve realised that one of the most lacking features of the site is content and, as we all know, “Content Is King!”. I’ve got a few ideas of what I’m going to incorporate but I want to know what you, the fans, want.

What would make you come back to Super Rams? Do you want merchandise such as t-shirts or jumpers? What about stuff for your computer or mobile phone such as wallpapers or screensavers? How about a ringtone? Information wise, what would you like? Do you want a discussion forum to chat with other fans? What about interviews with the players (this could be a long shot)? Are any of you other Rams willing to write the occasional short match review?

One thing I will be implementing next season is a full log of Championship Tables so you can track the progress of Derby over the entire season. I will also be covering more topics outside of just match reports such as signings, releases, what’s happening with the new corporate board - is there anything I’m missing out on?

Tell me your thoughts. This site is for you, the Derby fans. I get nothing out of it apart from the occasional click through on the adverts (and that’s nothing to shout about!) - all I want is somewhere for Derby fans to hang out and find out everything they need to know. Without your input, it won’t exist. Post a comment below and let me know what you want.

It was the last match of the season and Derby were mathematically safe from relegation. It had also been a very busy week for the club with Pete Gadsby and Co taking over ownership at Pride Park. But this wasn’t a game to remember.

Ex-Ram Marcus Tudgay opened the score line for Sheffield Wednesday early on in the game connecting with a free kick from Jon-Paul McGovern in the 5th minute. While Tommy Smith missed a great opportunity later on, he couldn’t finish it off. It all came to an end in the 85th minute when the Owls’ Leon Best managed to lob Lee Camp with a deflected shot. End result: 2-0 to the travellers.

With the season all wrapped up for the Rams and new owners running the camp, it seems like a good time to reflect on what has been quite a hectic season for Derby and not necessarily for the better. Burley leaving at the end of last season gave the team some serious doubts and the first half of the season didn’t go to plan when Phil Brown took over. We lost a lot of our key players to other teams having to try and make money where possible. When Westley came in, he took on numerous loan players from around the League trying to create a stronger and more robust team. It worked in our favour at times and some of the latest additions have given the Rams some confidence but unfortunately, that doesn’t reflect our final position in the table (20th).

Hopefully, next season will see better times for Derby. Terry Westley has got his hands full with training and getting the team up to scratch to take on the new Midlands rivals with Birmingham City and West Bromwich Albion getting relegated from the Premiership. Come on Derby - you can do it! Just look at last season…
