    These shirts were awful agreed. Dortmund did make them put their badge on theirs though after backlash so other clubs could have too.

    I know you’ve mentioned the quality of the material of the Puma kits we had. I don’t remember having any issues with mine growing up. Most football shirts are prone to bobbing and pulls though.

    The Kappa kits however were poor (although I liked the designs). the logos/words on the back of the neck on the outside are peeling or have fallen off my shirts.

    New retro shirts …

    2002 - we’d just finished getting over Ronaldinho sending us home from Japan and Korea then we had to put up with that season of football as well 😂

    They were actually released in the 2001/02 season. I’m not sure why they’ve released these. We got relegated from the PL in this kit.

    I think this was one of our best away shirts:

    My favourite Rams shirt ever... and it still fits

    My first shirts were from the season before with the Puma sponsor instead of EDS. I had Wanchope on the back.

    This is one of my favourite away shirts:

    Just look around at games? We chant at away fans at home if they don’t stand up! Watch tv, 90% of away ends stood. A lot more home fans too around the country.

    i’m not saying it’s right but I just don’t see what it’s going to achieve keep bringing it up.

    What’s your advice? Keep making comments on a forum? Not sure that will help any more than my advice!

    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.

    My mum was a wheelchair user. The amount of times she had to sit not only away from the Derby fans, but also away from the rest of the family was rubbish. I'm sure I'm preaching to the choir though!

    Good on Pompey for letting you sit where you should be.

    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.

    Ah. Yes. Fratton Park is only just shy of 21k. We have a very loyal fan base and as you’d expect tickets go fast. As someone who doesn’t live down south anymore even I struggle to get tickets at the moment. You guys have great support so it’s a shame more couldn’t come but I’m sure you’ll be more than a match when it comes to volume levels! Even though I’m nervous about our game I’m looking forward to the atmosphere. 
     

    I am with you though on away ticket issues. One of my frustrations this season is being unable to get away tickets due to uptake and as I’m not in Portsmouth I don’t have a season ticket.
     

    If we do go up one of my biggest pluses is the ability to go to bigger grounds where hopefully more away tickets will be available. We took 4K to London Road today and could have sold more. You’d have thought we were the home team!

     

    I’ve never been to Pride Park before but looks like a fantastic stadium and atmosphere based on what I saw from your game vs Bolton today. Derby is pretty much a “home game” for me being up this end so hopefully we both get to go up and I get to visit your ground as it’s one I’ve wanted to for a while. 

    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).

    Derby vs Bolton History: Derby have had by some margin the upper hand in the head-to-heads with Wanderers. In 129 meetings our record stands at W64-D23-L42. One statistic stands out in the meetings on our turf though and it is this:

    Bolton have never won at Pride Park.

    There, I've said it. 

    Since we moved to Pride Park, Bolton have visited us ten times in the league and drew on their third, fourth and fifth visits but went back up the M6 with nil points on the other seven occasions. We are P10: W7-D3-L0 with 24 goals scored and just five conceded when the Trotters come to town. They haven't scored more than once in any game at Pride Park and, alongside two victories by a one-goal margin, we have merrily spanked their chubby Lancashire backsides 4-0 twice, 4-1 twice and 3-0 once. Now if that isn't tempting fate I don't know what is.

     

    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.

    Howard was a million miles out of his depth at top level.  Oakley and Jones, who had a fair few prem years after he left, were bad sales.  Oakley had said he wanted out when Davies went but I don't think he was pushed to stay.   I don't think it helped when he started doing double training sessions for a squad who were seriously struggling for any cohesion or character.  They were just knacked and ripe for obliteration for two months. I don't know why Earnshaw only got 10 minutes here and there as we weren't blessed with pace with Barnes missing most of the season.  We bought him then replaced him with Miller after three games. 

    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).

    As above mate.  A win for Bolton leaves it in our hands assuming we do the job results wise before.  Barnsleys draw leaves them above us if they win the game in hand with no recourse to take that ground from them on our own merit.  We had that chance and didn't take it.

    Surely you’d take the draw over Barnsley winning (which very nearly happened)?

    I agree. The only dodgy decision that I remember we got in our favour was a Sunderland goal that got ruled out incorrectly for offside at PP. Had VAR existed, and been applied correctly, we would have avoided the points record comfortably and some heavy defeats would have been far less so. Giles Barnes was a terrible loss and Billy Davies' war with the Board cost us dearly at times. Had GSE come in and decided that preserving funds for a promotion challenge was the right strategy, the following years may have turned out very differently.

    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,

    As a selfish oaf, I'm good with this.  
    More likely to be doing "other stuff" on a BH Monday afternoon.  I can now pay the £11.99 for a NowTV day pass, and sit comfortably watching from my sofa (or cowering from behind it!)  
    But that's me... not even a half fan, in the grand scheme of things.
     

    As a caring person however, I feel livid on behalf of those that matter... those that travel far and wide, week in, week out, for little reward and even less gratitude, all in the name of loyalty and love towards our beloved footy team.
    Some may have to literally cancel their plans, purely due to the "impossibility" of the travel.
    Others will have to follow a BH weekend by having to book time off work on the Tuesday to travel there, and the Wednesday to factor in the journey home/late hours.

    It truly is a pish take!  

    All I can say is, we'd better win, go top, and those that do travel spend the evening singing anti-Sky chants!  I'll even be hypocritical, and join in from my sofa!

    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.

    every time we log in to renew, it sends me to the edit profile section to add a title gender and city. and its changed my address back to an old one, I know its been right at some point this season as we've had tickets delivered to the new address. anyone else getting this?

    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.

    £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+

    Our last 12 fixtures against Barnsley have seen us lose 3, draw 2 and win 7. Having said that our last win there was back in 2017. Time to put a stop to that little run. 0-2 NML and Gayle

    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.
