    If he is part of a supporters club I would go to the branch, I will be offering help to any of our branch members that need it..... 
    I am also sure that if he called the ticket office they would be able to reserve his seat over the phone and possibly pick up a ticket on the day. If that isn't possible  ask for information on golden rams... they are great and i am sure would be happy to help with something like this they are there to help and support our elderly supporters after all. 
    But if he goes with you other option would be for you to do it for him?

    I go to the matches with a guy who lives on his own (73 years old ) but has a season ticket ( even for last season 20/21) but does not have the internet, no broadband no mobile phone - how is he supposed to get into the matches he has paid for?

    On a wider society scale there are a lot of people who simply don’t know how much they are spending and they simply can’t afford what they are spending and with cash you can see when it’s gone or going to be gone

    This is the big unwritten story and one I suspect will raise its head over the next season. Mel has had to do some juggling and probably spend money he didn’t want to, but there has never been one iota of doubt that he is solvent and committed to DCFC’s wellbeing. What about the other clubs ? What about their sugar daddies ? 
    I saw earlier that one of the US potential investors was the guy who owns Carnival Cruises .. hummm well they will have taken a pasting in the last 18 months. What was small change 2 years ago has a different value today.

    I can only expect the other players to be shocked at this and he has never inspired me to think positively about how he has presented himself on the football pitch in the past 3 seasons - I rarely think I am wrong in a major way but I would love to be wrong here but I just can’t see it.

    Simply staggering - I absolutely cannot see this lasting long ! - and I am not wanting to be negative 
    sounds like every free kick will be wasted then not to mention potentially corners as well - I hope he does fantastic but I can’t see it at all and I suppose that means no one wants to buy him then.

    WBA outbid Sheffield United then - Brighton have made some money out of Clarke haven’t they? 
     
    he was ok for us but a long way from being excellent so good luck to him

    I get very very excited when I see a goalscorer being signed as a centre forward !
    I think the last one was Dean Saunders although Dean Sturridge was a lot better than some gave him credit for even though he came through the ranks

    Just tell him that it’s his team (Derby county) and he has to support them through thick and thin and he has to make sure his Grandad gets to every Derby county fixture in the future and it will be his responsibility until he passes it on to his Grandson

    When season tickets come out I wonder if it will have what happens when covid continues to intervene with fixtures - for example Derbyshire cricket today being abandoned due to one player testing positive and most of the squad having to self isolate, let’s say there will be 30,000 people due to attend Derby /Forest in August but the game is postponed early on the Saturday morning due to a player being positive affecting the whole squad and bearing in mind if we do have 100,000 a day testing positive as is expected - I can only see a big mess coming - sadly - unless there is a better way?

    Sparkle got a reaction from rainram in EFL Verdict   
    So to recap we fail to pay one period of players wages on the day due so we get 3pts deduction suspended for a year 
    Sheffield  Wednesday fail to pay 4 periods of wages due 6pts deduction with 3pts removed by Christmas and the other 3 points carried over until June 
    so there we have it the new settled standard for the EFL - consistent isn’t it ???
    meanwhile despite being unable to pay one months wage payment ( on time) the EFL are happy to take £100,000 of us whilst wanting to relegate us and take a further guaranteed £6 million of us on top.
