  1. Perhaps some fans don’t want to stand but have to because others in front of them are standing? Buying tickets at the front with the intention of standing is selfish. Stewards & police do nothing about persistent standing. Being a wheelchair user I have to avoid certain away grounds because I know I won’t see most of the game because people will be standing in front of me. Something needs to change.
  2. Things are gradually improving regarding facilities at away grounds but some clubs still have a way to go. Some stadiums we still have to sit with opposition fans (Villa, Ipswich, Port Vale, Forest Green). I avoid going to Charlton in particular as you can’t see the near penalty area when everyone else in front of you is standing. Charlton know about the issues but seemingly refuse to do anything about it. Going to Forest also isn’t a nice experience for disabled fans as we have go through the home concourse to get to the away end. I probably wouldn’t go if it wasn’t our derby.
  3. I hope to be making the trip (I have my tickets). I’m a wheelchair user and I’m really looking forward to trying out the new wheelchair facilities (platform) in the away end! On previous visits I had to sit behind the opposite goal with the home fans which was quite isolating as we were so far away from the away support (I actually decided not to attend last season because of that).
  4. Bolton have actually won once at Pride Park, albeit It was a EFL cup game in 1999/2000. They won 2-1. I was thinking about it earlier as I remember going to that match. I’m feeling quite nervous about tomorrow now. I just hope we give it our all from the start like Tuesday night.
  5. Some of our fans in the south stand on Tuesday night were chanting about partying when Reading die. I hated it when any opposition fans sang it during our troubles. Our fans chanting the same at others is disgusting too.
  6. Luton also play Bournemouth A on Wednesday night. Would be great if they could get some points from it.
  7. Yes that’s what I heard.
  8. Howard wasn't good enough for the PL but Villa was a terrible buy. We’d have been better keeping Howard imo. He proved that he could still do a job in the championship with Leicester even a couple of years after he left us. Everyone knew we were going down (it was obvious even in mid August after we were thrashed by Tottenham). Jewell wasted money that we didn’t need to spend. We should’ve learnt after Billy spent the PL money making the team worse in the January of the promotion season (with the exception of Jones & Mears who were decent). Earnshaw is an interesting one. Maybe something was going on behind the scenes (I heard rumours but I don’t know if they were true).
  9. Surely you’d take the draw over Barnsley winning (which very nearly happened)?
  10. It also didn’t help that Jewell sold the spine of our attack in Oakley & Howard (to Leicester) and brought in Savage & Villa who were inferior,
  11. The match would’ve been streamable on Rams TV anyway as it’s not a Saturday 3pm match so it being sky hasn’t really changed things for people watching it at home etc.
  12. Northampton A tickets available to 15+ members tomorrow. £24 Adults. 1,473 total allocation https://www.dcfc.co.uk/news/2024/02/away-ticket-information-northampton-town-a-2023-24
  13. Are you using the website on a smartphone? I had this problem when trying to buy away tickets a couple weeks ago on the mobile site.
  14. £60 increase for me. It’s also misleading that the club say this is the first price increase in years. Mine increased in 2021/22 as the club recategorised the stadium seating plan (and also got rid of the disabled discount at the same time). The car park pass costs also went up in recent seasons at something like 60% (although it currently includes cup games too). There was been no word on car parking prices. Thankfully I have plenty of time to think about whether I want to spend £600+
  15. Unfortunately Oakwell has been a bit of a bogey ground for us since 2008/09 (the season after we were relegated from the Premier League). Hopefully we can put that right on Saturday.
