    Your problem is you're trying to be fair and reasonable about it and that's just not on.
    Acknowledging you really don't know what's going on (because you don't) it not playing the game according to the rules.
    You really should have an opinion and stick to it.
    Knowledge and understanding is not a prerequisite for having a strong opinion in life.
    In fact, often the opposite is true.
    Because the more you know, the more you doubt things because you know you really don't know.
    If you know what I mean.
    Science works like that.
    Which is glad not too many people in this thread are scientists.

    Wow - what an attitude! This is why I find it embarrassing to be associated with some of our ‘fans’. 
    I had ‘reasons’ (known as personal circumstances) not to attend the first two home games - you call them excuses if that makes you happy/makes you feel superior. I’m not normally a moaner when I’m at the game but when I’m back for the Forest match, I’ll be sure to have a good boo just to prove your point…..

    Including myself, I know four people that either can't or won't jump over the obsticles put in the way of attending a game of footie. I suspect that a great many more than 1% are affected. How can a business that is in such financial straits afford to discourage it's customers in this way? Madness!

    And this is why the club should be moving heaven and earth to get these fans back. That means making it bloody easy to buy season tickets.
    Sadly they have ballsed up big time, and for a lot of folk its already too late.
    Pearce and Morris have IMO cost the club two million over the season. (5000 Season Tickets x 400 quid each)

    I’m not sure you are right. I also don’t believe that a football club the size of Derby County can’t afford to open the ticket office or answer phone calls. I also don’t believe that it can’t communicate fully with its fan base. The total mismanagement of the club has had a far greater impact on more than the couple of hundred than you think in my opinion.

    What the club is doing regarding ticketing is absolutely baffling. I had an hour’s drive to get a ticket to someone this morning as I would have been unable to meet them off their bus and they can’t stand up for too long.
    He was telling me that the supporters bus he used to use has now been cancelled because the majority can’t sort out tickets and aren’t willing to jump through all the hoops presented to them. I don’t think the majority on here are truly understanding the impact this is having on a certain demographic of our support.
    If I ran a business and the customer numbers fell by 10,000 I would be highly concerned. It seems a pretty shambolic way to run any business, let alone one purporting to be short of cash. 
    Shame really because it is refreshing to be watching a group of players clearly giving everything for the shirt.

    It gets more bizarre.  Because I  panicked and didn’t know about the reserve thing I couldn’t get my seats. But today at the match my seats were empty????
    Even more bizarre I ordered my Florest  tickets at the same time.  So when I realised the mistake I made, I emailed the club to ask if there was anything I could do about it, no reply.  The day the tickets went on general sale, I got my sister to use her fan ID to try get me my seats. They were not available.  But last night I got an email saying that they have cancelled my tickets and can now reserve said seats??!?   Very confusing.  I heard onRD ontheway home that there was only 17K today, I’m sure the ticketing thing is part of the problem. For a skint team this is mind boggling!

    This is all cobblers innit? I don't want to spend half a day on t'internet, I don't want t' give out personal details to all an' sundry and I don't want to faff about printing me own ticket.
    Yes, I'm a crotchety old Luddite, but want t' go to the ticket office, give 'em some money, get me ticket and that's it! Untill this can happen I'll keep me money.
