I have no idea. Perhaps some had a bad Parmo (Praline and dick flavour). I have spent quite a bit of time up your neck of the woods, like the area and the people - and of course we are both Clough clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angieram Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 I don't hate them, it's a compliment that we want to avoid playing them . I must admit that I didn’t like them so much while the smug Patrick Bamford was playing for them, though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boro.mfc Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Like i said i have a soft spot for Derby and Brighton so i would be cheering both on against burnley or sheff wed and hull. So in a perfect scenario 2 up in autos and 1 in promotion would be ideal to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boro's my second team (has to be the mrs is from Eston) no hatred here, shame on you Penelope. I see Burnley and Boro going up and us playing Brighton 3 times, but I'm sure we will come out on top.

We always stay at the ground for a pint afterwards, then wander for the train, seeing the queue is still of epic proportions and thinking 'should have stayed for a gallon'.

Bessie1 Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Brighton away: Park at the racecourse and get the fan bus. Train is chaos unless you park at Lewes - ie get the train from the opposite direction. (I'm a Derby ST holder but used to live in Brighton).

SimonBHA Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 The trains are much better than they used to be at the Amex but I guess first impressions are lasting! Platform has been extended since we moved in and service improved. If I'm at the exit steps as the ref blows for full time I'm usually on the first train out, although even when not in a rush tend to make the second. Queued for far longer at some London away games. Should hopefully be a nice sunny afternoon too, usually stick around for a post match beer and to watch the highlights on a day like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me and the missus usually stop for one at ther ground after the game, then saunter back to get the train even after the night games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Also, a warning to anyone going in the Battle of Trafalgar pub on Guildford Road - we had our tickets stolen when we were in there before the playoff semi-final. We didn't find out they had been pinched from the wife's bag until we got to the ground. Luckily there were a few tickets available on the day and we were just able to scrape £70 together (cash only). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're on the slope down, alongside the bridge, not moving, as soon as the incoming train has gone you'll be on the next one. They stop people at the bottom to prevent crushing and the platform is very long so it's deceptive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamworthram Posted April 12, 2016 Author Share Posted April 12, 2016 Just ordered my ticket. I'll worry about how to get there a bit nearer the time but will almost certainly be driving down in my poor man's midlife crisis indulgence so, any further advice on suitable parking would be appreciated.

dcfc the 1 4me Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 I've been to the amex twice now and went on the Roadrider, once on a Saturday and the play off game on a Thursday night. Hellish journeys both times, just getting to the match and literally running in to see kick off. The bus took 5 hours to get there as they have to have a drivers rest break which was 45mins on both occasions. The M25 is a nightmare and throw in bank holiday day trippers from Landan Tahn on Monday and 2,30 kick off it doesn't bode well, so this time I'm treating me and other half to a nice Sunday - Monday break and hopefully see another Derby victory. Not seen 'em lose there yet, so 2-1 to us should do it as it has been the conclusion on both the times I've been. Didn't go last season and we lost.

Tamworthram Posted April 18, 2016 Author Share Posted April 18, 2016 Must say, with only 1400 tickets available I'm surprised they reached general sale. Anyone bought tickets today know sales are going? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archied Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Bought two this morning , really surprised we got them too on general sale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perseus Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Latest recommendation is to arrive at Lewes or Brighton stations an hour before KO minimum to get to the game on KO. 1400 fans arrived late (800, 40 minutes late) v Fulham. Management during an industrial dispute. I would be surprised if 1400 seats are sold for a TV match which is not going to make much difference to Derby.
