Maybe we could adopt the old Jim Smith style of attack when Ron Willems sat behind Gabbiadini & Sturridge - that attack was devastating in our promotion season .
For today, switch McGoldrick sitting behind a more central Barkhuizen & James Collins

Blocks  D and E are either side of the directors box, so I would think that they're reserved for guests of the club or club sponsors.
The club frequently give tickets to various groups (ie local schools or sports groups), I would imagine block H is being held back for this reason, but will be sold on a match by match basis, when not required by one of these groups. 
Together these 3 blocks would account for around 350 tickets that are 'allocated'.

The only figures we actually KNOW are the number of seats currently unavailable.  
How many ST's sold so far? We don't know. All we know is that 10300+ sold in the first 2 days they were on sale. How many more were sold on Sat/Sun/Mon/Tue? They haven't said.
One thing I do know is that I will be buying a season ticket. My first in 40 years since emigrating. I still live abroad and might make between 6 and 8 games as per usual but there comes a time to stand up and do what you can for  the club. I already pay £17.50 a month for RamsTV. I can afford a season ticket so will buy one. Bloody airlines are forcing plane tickets sky high but I'll just have to grin and bear it. 1 game a month at around 500 a throw all in. DTID.

They're not just young, they're under contract (possibly 2 years as well, Bird & Sibley) so a fee would need to be substantial here

I've worked out that there are at least 1,700 fewer seats available than there were on the morning that the renewals opened. I'm assuming that they are new take ups & if so, that is fantastic news. (there were 9,200 & now 7,500)
I expect the regular season ticket holders renewing will be a steady trickle for a coupe of weeks before a rapid take up in the week the season kicks off as people get paid then & the deadline approaches
 
 

From the last few seconds of his interview after being awarded Players Player Of The Season "I know how big this club is to the city of Derby, & I'm proud to be a part of it"
Apparently not proud enough to stay here though Nathan, or at least let us benefit financially from you leaving

Talking of new kit day, this made me chuckle
Richard Keogh begins his acting career !!
 

Someone tell Shaun Barker that Barkhuizen isn’t “Barkenhuizen”

Well unless it's a glass door, that's going to be difficult

I've got visions of Liam Rosenior conducting training with a phone in his hand talking to new possible players

Guess who’s signed a contract?? I’m also lead to believe it’s a 1 year with an option for another 

One issue we may have with loan signings is that whilst we should be expected to get some top rank players in, we aren't allowed to pay a loan fee are we ?
BTW I don't agree with this new phenomenon of paying to loan a player, especially if it's in addition to paying their full wages. It smacks of teams acquiring a player, possibly cheaply, with the promise of a generous sell on clause, but then recovering the initial purchase price by loaning them out each season with no cash benefit to the original selling club. I'm thinking of someone like Matt Clarke at Brighton, who both us & WBA have had so far
 

No different to the half million* of us trying to snap up the 35k play off final tickets!
 
*including wider family members, neighbours, and the postman from our previous address, obvs!  ?
