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.

On sale to all members 10 am tomorrow. Morecambe tickets, 320 seated , 304 standing.
Lincoln, not sure on exact numbers now because one block has sold out ( block 4) but two blocks have yet to go on sale. As it stands there are 358 seats plus the two blocks ( 1 and 2)when they are opened.

Will update later but 320 seats 311 standing 4 disabled 

638

Tickets on sale this morning at 10am for 5+ members. Tickets available for Morecambe 787 standing, 417 seated, I say seated ?
tickets available for Lincoln 1,591. Good luck everyone.

Right, here we go, it’s not always straight forward with the ticket site as others will agree with, an area of seats in the Morecambe allocation that appeared to be block booked when the tickets first went on sale have partially reappeared so the numbers sold for seats is less than the figure I gave 2 days ago, these are the figures as it stands going to 10+ tomorrow morning.
Morecambe allocation 1,800, standing 1,200, sold 205, 995 left. Seats 590, 144 sold, 446 left.
Lincoln allocation 2,042, sold 218,  1,824 left. Plenty left for the next priority group at least.

Not much different from last night Morecambe seats sold 270, standing 35. 1,495 left. Lincoln 98 sold, 1,944 left. Plenty left for 15+.

First day of sale not exactly a mad rush Morecambe tickets sold 263 seated 30 standing. Lincoln tickets sold 87. Who’s saving up for Liverpool.

Yes I think I can manage that.

Looks likely there will be the same issues with tickets for Morecambe, stated on their website that tickets on sale around 14 days before the match. To get to all away members takes 9 days and then posting out another 3 days makes it very tight. It looks like an allocation of around 1,700 including 300 seats. Adults £25 seated £20 standing. Concessions adults £20 seated £15 standing. Good luck.

This was bound to happen, people are free to do what they like which ever category they find themselves in, but there are absolutely no guarantees that the same system will be used next season. 

He needs to leave then.  This ' a player needs more than one string to their bow' is a load of b*******.  He's he has far too much ability and years ahead to waste time playing full back in League 1.  Wasting time here doing that.
