Cambridge 0-2 Rams
FRGS    Collins 

Yes. Bought mine on 16th and still waiting.
If it helps:
I have exchanged messages with the ticket office and they have said they will definitely be posted in time but, if it's not arrived by Friday I need to contact them and they will help. I pointed out that Friday is a bit late especially as I don't live in Derby so, does this mean I will be able to collect the ticket at Cambridge? They said yes but they are sure it will arrive in time.

No, but I am still waiting for Ipswich and Accrington ordered last Tuesday.

Tickets on sale tomorrow at 10 am for 5+ members for Mansfield, Ipswich and Accrington.
Plenty of tickets for Mansfield and Ipswich with less than 300 tickets sold for each and areas not yet opened up.
Accrington is a bit more difficult to calculate, we have been given the whole stand for seating consisting of blocks A to H. At the moment blocks A B C D E are not open, block F is sold out and blocks G and H have 104 seats available.
We also have the terrace stand behind the goal. Half of this is yet to be opened up.
The other half is where the tickets have been selling but it’s not possible to say how many have been sold and how many are still available.
currently it is showing 179 places available.
with 2,600 tickets available I would expect everyone in this category to get a ticket, good luck.

Accrington now 204 seats available.

Tickets on sale this morning for Ipswich and Accrington for 15+ members.
106 tickets sold for Ipswich so 1,795 left.
Seat tickets sold for Accrington 164. Still blocks to open up.
Accrington standing is a bit of a strange one. It’s showing half the stand currently available with 750 places but 709 of these are showing as sold leaving just 41 tickets. I am fairly confident that we do not have 700   20+ members so I don’t know why this is showing. Presume they will open up the other half of the stand when necessary.
Stags tickets also on sale to 20+ members this morning.

I don’t know what’s happening with the tickets for Accrington at the moment, two hours after going on sale it’s showing 61 seats sold ( including mine) and 696 standing tickets sold, which is far more than any other match in the first category. Fairly sure we don’t have over 700   20+ members.

I think Ipswich is cheaper cos it’s been moved to Friday night.
Accrington is more expensive cos we are one of their four category A games the others being Bolton, Sheffield Wednesday and Fleetwood. Despite being one of the smallest grounds with a capacity of less than five and a half thousand they give up half the ground to away fans. All members will probably have a chance to go to these two, there will be less demand for a Friday night fixture in Ipswich. I will continue to update on category numbers.

Block J2 showing 130 remaining, Block H2 has a single seat free and then Block J3 not yet open - Foreveram suggests about 154 in that block.

So should be around 285 up for grabs at 10.00

Good luck everyone.

There is currently one block open, J2 this morning when I looked it had 21 seats left, then when I looked later it had 120 ??‍♂️. It currently has 83 seats. There is still one block yet to open up , J3 which I believe is the same capacity as block 1 which is 154. So to answer you question I believe it will be 237 in total.

I don’t know how or why but the tickets available in block J2 has now gone up to 155.

900 left for Cambridge.

Following our first title in 1971-72, this season marks the 50th anniversary of Derby’s European Cup debut & the start of 4 very eventful European campaigns up to the end of 1976. Like the 1971-72 season scrapbook last season, I’ll be looking to mark each game 50 years on with match reports, TV footage (if available) & as much info and memorabilia as I can glean. Of course, nothing will beat having been at the games themselves so recollections & memories are most welcome.
To set the scene, Derby’s qualification for the European (Champions) Cup was at a time when only the league winners (and the European Cup holders) qualified for the tournament. At that stage, only one English club had even reached the final, let alone won it – that being Manchester Utd in 1968 under Sir Matt Busby. Therefore Derby were bidding to become only the second English club to be crowned Champions of Europe – no small challenge considering our European debut had been delayed following disqualification from the 1970-71 Fairs Cup for ‘financial irregularities’.
50 years ago today then, we began our 1972-73 European Cup campaign against the Yugoslav champions FK Zeljeznicar at the Baseball Ground. Zeljeznicar were based in Sarajevo in what we now know as Bosnia & like Derby they had also won their maiden title the season before, beating the challenge of illustrious names such as Red Star Belgrade, Dynamo Zagreb, Partizan Belgrade & Hadjuk Split.
Here are the beaming first XI of Zeljeznicar with their suitably austere Communist-era title trophy;

 
Onto the game - despite the pretty physical opponent, Derby were able to secure a 2-0 advantage going into the second leg in Yugoslavia - goals coming from Roy McFarland & Archie Gemmill either side of half time. Match report below;

Cambridge tickets on sale tomorrow morning 10 am for 10+ members.
369 tickets sold 1,104 left.

Cambridge tickets on sale to 15+ members at 10 am this morning (I presume). 323 sold leaving 1,150 for sale.

Cambridge away, looks like the total allocation could be just 1,470. A Wednesday fan  @walkleyowl messaged me to say this was the case and looking on a couple of sites, it appears to be the case. That’s what Southampton got in the League cup and that is Barnsley’s total allocation. The allocation is the South stand seated, with the Habbin terrace unused. I contacted their SLO to confirm this, his reply was, Derby have this information ask them, helpful. The price against Barnsley is £24 adults and £21 concessions. Will have to wait for confirmation but I thought I would give a heads up to anyone expecting to get to this. Also anyone looking to buy in the home end, like most of the smaller clubs are doing with us, you have to have previous history.

I can’t even bother with an angry emoji. That rates as the worst post of the day.
A new striker, in a drought at a new club and he bags his opener. You write that ? 
 
For the record .. it was a beautifully weighted ball from McGoldrick. He was 1 V 1 against an advancing goalie with a split second to make his decision. It was a sweet clean shot reversed against the goalies movement slotted neatly in the back of the net. No panic, no fluff, no snatched blast. Good finish end of story. 

No problem, glad you’re sorted.

Happy days rams away double header, shout out to Foreveram for ticket numbers information.
