Had to go searching in the FAQ section on the Season ticket page.
Must have been difficult to find?! It's the second 'FAQ' questions as well, you've done well to spot it. 
A lot of criticism over the club/board/Mel/team/Rooney is warranted. But moaning for moaning's sake always make's me laugh

Thing is, if Jags himself didn't think he had anything to offer, why would be bother to keep playing? He's made enough money to not need to play and probably had lots of offers to play lower league stuff so I'm leaning towards this being a good thing... optimistic fool that I am.
Not so long ago, a 32 year old was about finished, let alone 39! We now have Ronaldo at 36 as top scorer in Serie A, Ibra still being in the top 10 players in the world at 39 and Chiellieni at 37 still bossing things at the back for Italy. With sports science having moved on and players taking more care of themselves, their careers are much longer than previously.
Let's face it, we could do with a bit of luck so Jags doing a Paul McGrath would be a god-send this season.

Not sure about the laughing emoji, @Carnero?  Yes, the info is there, but I had to go searching for that info. 
You'd expect an automatically issued season ticket to have flagged up some sort of automatically issued info panel immediately after logging in, no?  Or perhaps an automatically assigned email, to the assigned email address of the assigned fan ID relating to said automatically issued season ticket?  No?
A headline and active link on the latest news page?  No?
Others on here also appear to have been left scratching their heads.
In all honesty, in any other year, I'd be dancing and whooping all over the internet, having just discovered that I am once again a DCFC season ticket holder.
But this year, as things stand, and as the club appears to be managed over recent months, I can't even bring myself to have faith that the damn season card will actually turn up. 
And that coming from a usually positive guy in general, and particularly so where The Rams are concerned. 
I hope to God things go well on the pitch, because I'm not exactly enamoured with the off-pitch stuff at the moment!
 

My above post may be a little harsh...
Now found this...
If I didn’t request a refund on my 2020/21 Season Ticket, what do I need to do to renew?
You don’t need to do anything at this stage, the Club has carried over your 2020/21 Season Ticket and you are now classed as a 2021/22 Season Ticket holder

All the Sibley lovers happy with him hand balling it to give a free kick away?

The most “senior” players in our squad are in the back 4 and that’s where all the mistakes that are costing us are coming from, we’re in big trouble if they don’t sort it out and quickly!

It's also worth noting with Marriott that he didn't just play under Lampard here.
He played under Cocu who also didn't pick him.
He's played with Rooney and under Rooney.
Last season, despite the fact that we couldn't score goals from open play to save our lives, Rooney still didn't recall him in January despite having the option to.
He also went to Sheffield Wednesday and barely got a look in there despite their troubles. 
Infact this article below just shows how bad he was there. He played under 4 managers at Wednesday.

I can think of another attacking midfielder we have (who incidentally, I like) who could boast a similar disciplinary record with some red cards included for good measure, who’s just been made club captain. Doesn’t wash I’m afraid.

You blame Rooney for the way Sibley is playing. I suggested that he's not yet as good as some spectacular goal-scoring made him look. Young players are inconsistent and not all turn into Ronaldo or Messi even when the fans think they are. Again I refer you to Hughes who I think is vastly under-rated, but apparently I'm in a small group. And perhaps I'm slightly biased by the lovely football we saw from him here, him being 'one of our own'. 

They have a conflict of interests I guess - because they want as much money invested in the League as possible, to "grow the brand", make it as entertaining as possible and keep the bubble afloat*. As long as they maintain plausible deniability about who is and isn't a wrong'un. The Fit & Proper Person test is not much more than a way of making them appear to be doing due diligence
 
*classic example being Chelski - it's well documented that Abramovich's cash was deeply suspect in provenance, but hard to argue that him investing it in a UK football club didn't benefit the Premier League as a whole
 

But thats like letting your best penalty-taker take no5.

I believe that our younger players far from being demoralised have been lifted, motivated and enthused by the experience of playing the major part in beating all of the arm chair critics, doom merchants on twatter, media experts, and bookmakers , by coming back from losing 3 times during the match to win against a very physical bunch of cheating aoles and showing a will to win, their superior skill, and a determination to prove their manager was correct in showing his faith in playing them.
I think you owe Rooney an apology.
 

I saw Hutchinson take a touch on Saturday that certainly raised my eyebrows. The talent of a young player isn't so easy to judge in terms of their goals and assists at academy level, but their close control and ability to move the ball within the first one or two touches. I think Hutchinson has something that makes him a very bright prospect. He will have a lot of opportunities here; he's very similar to Bird so that's who he has to beat out for a starting spot - at least for now. 

Rooney will stick to 4231 as he wants the CMs to drift out into the wing back area. Defensively, we're like this:
GK
RB   CB   CB   LB
CM   CM
RW   AM   LW
CF
But in possession we rotate into something closer to this:
GK
CB   CB
CM                     CM
RW   LW
RB   AM   CF   LB

Just out of curiosity don't Alfreton need to do this for their own club rather than Derby? How come they help us??‍♂️ is it only when Alfreton are not playing at the same time? I'd like to know details about this as it might be cheaper than buying train fairs to the away games 

Not picking on you, Patrick - just saw this post as one of many making the point, while I was scrolling through. For instance here's an analysis https://sci-hub.mksa.top/10.1080/02640410050074331 that specifically examines if it's better to put your best people first for this reason, or to do what the paper concludes which is that the optimal strategy is to put the worst of your 5 designated takes first, then the second-worst, and so on until you have your best taker last. 
Football's about opinions and people will have different ones, but I'd also say all professional sport is about fine margins and it's important to use every little thing to your advantage.

Oh right, sound
I just thought if you were offering advice to England's greatest goalscorer on footballing matters you might have had some expertise in the matter
My mistake

Lads did really really well to come back after an absolute horror show first 20 minutes. Indeed, we could have been 3 down in the first half hour and dead and buried with it so to come back and win is fantastic. It seems like the younger players managed to regroup and display the characteristics that will serve them well. Hopefully, Rooney sticks with a similar line up for the second round of the cup to reward them and give them more minutes on the pitch. 

Despite this, I'm not getting overly excited about the performance. I know you can only beat what's out in front of you but we relied on penalties to beat a league 2 team with a few first teamers in the lineup. It's only early in the season but whilst some of these youngsters put in a good shift to come back and get a draw against this lot, I don't fancy relying on them too much against sides in our division.  

What? If you follow science as you say your best penalty taker might not take one... just like Ronaldo for Portugal in a shoot out if i remember... the other time were sprinting forward celebrating and he hadn't taken one.... great science lol

Moan if you want, but praise them when they do well as well. Great goal and we've really come into the game last 10 minutes. Great finish Hutchinson

Well done boys! Brilliant result, loved the reaction from Watson

He’s got a good footballing brain and good feet … that’ll take him a long way as he develops 

Watson is very good. Doesn't always work out for him but his through balls when they come off are class. Stretton should have perhaps done better
