I know enough to know unless we get a benefactor soon it’s game over 

Cool. Where you got your accounting qualifications from? Do you oversee all of the DCFC accounts? 

The ultimate blame lies with the supporters, demanding new players twice a year, demanding seat prices to be lower and demanding promotion to the premiership whatever the cost. So the richest man in Derby has run out of cash and the will to carry on subsidizing a club where a  cohort  of supporters want him to “walk away now” and to “eff off” but are evidently not prepared to put their own hands in their pockets in any meaningful way. The facts are (for the benefit of corporal dictionary).The wages are being paid as evidenced by no new charges from the EFL, new potential signings do want to join the Rams as evidenced by the quantity of triallists, previous foot balling debts paid evidenced by the removal of that charge by the EFL, but no this is not enough, the fans want see Mel bankrupted all his money gone and living in a cardboard box under a railway arch, the loss of hundreds of millions of his personal money is not enough, he should be made to eff off so the baying rabble shout. My last word is be careful what you wish for you might get it, he or MSD would still own the stadium, wages would not be paid and more than a hundred employees of DCFC would lose their jobs and the club would be liquidated.
Would that give you satisfaction?
cutting ones nose off would appear to be the plastic surgery of choice for most on here.

No it will be going back to normal streaming before lockdown. Selected midweek games will still be available.

Christ. whats the worst that can happen?
We get relegated? I'll still go. A few new grounds. Still sing, still moan, still have a good time with my mates.
Administration? Points deduction? Relegation. I'll still go. A few new grounds. Still sing, still moan, still have a good time with my mates.
Club wound up and we start again in the isthmian league. I'll still go. A few new grounds. Still sing, still moan, still have a good time with my mates. etc etc.
We cant control any of it lads and ladies, enjoy your life. Football will still be there to dictate ours saturday evening moods forever.

Which makes it understandable why the club have taken this approach.
Had we started to sell season tickets when the restrictions being lifted were announced, the club could now face having to deal with refunds for those that have decided against having the vaccine.
All these theories of us going into admin, takeover close yet it’s more than likely just a case of knowing this government can flip the script, even take a U turn in 48hrs.
Sensible approach to sell individual tickets. 

Just jump on a quick flight to a "dark market" country for the televised games. Works a treat ? 

Yes, I have a monthly sub for those flights as well ?

What happens if you lose your ticket, what happens if you lose your trousers.
I mean you can go on and on, but we have technology now and the club are looking to embrace that. 
It’s foolish to resist when the world is going digital. The longer you refuse to adapt, the more difficult you will find to adjust when you’re no longer given a choice.

I wouldn't want to be our club trying to decide anything these days. 
Between the dinosaurs, the sceptics and the naysayers they are on a road to nowhere!
 

Since when has not being able to go to a game if you are a season ticket holder meant you end up in credit? That's not the clubs fault if you can't go. 
This is a sensible and cautious approach by the club which also honours those supporters that committed to the 2021/22 season.

You have an app that tells you exactly how much money you have left these days. 

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? 
 

To be fair, I believe they've increased the cost of iFollow too, so it isn't targeted against non-iFollow services.

It seems a relatively fair and reasonable thing to be doing by the club. It would be very easy to put the season tickets on sale and then be caught in another mess if lockdown or restrictions on large gatherings are put into place again. For instance if we sold 15,000 season tickets but then there was a restriction of 5,000 people gathering at sporting events what would the club do? draw a lottery? allow certain fans to certain games on a rotational basis? Whatever happens you'll have a lot of unhappy supporters that could do a lot of damage to the club's reputation. 
Yes, I'd love to purchase a season ticket now and i get people are frustrated but patience is the best course of action. If Covid has taught us anything it should be patience and realising that just because we desperately want something it doesn't mean that we have the right to it. Hopefully, given the increased vaccination programme and the relative safety of outdoor events being conducted it will ensure that we can all be attending Pride Park again regularly.
