Sheppey United … Rams will give them a tuppin!

This wouldve been my ideal tie, dad is from sheerness, grew up on the island before moving to Derby for work in his early 20's, and my uncles have season tickets at Holm Park.. biggest game in their history tomorrow the Billericay replay. if either of our games are picked for TV, would look to head to both matches if not scheduled on the same day.

Injuries.

Gary Twigg and Marc Bridge-Wilkinson for me, both had half decent careers, but I thought they would make it big.

Henrik Ojaama was another I rated highly.

Adam Murray, Marvin Robinson, Pablo Mills and the local lad who came through at 15 at same time as Huddlestone, highly rated at the time (name escapes me).

Ivan Calero, Santos and Koblenz more recently.

seem to remember it was Tom Huddlestone, Nathan Doyle & Lee Holmes that were on the fringes of the first team at the same time. think they all played a part in the pre season friendly vs Ajax at PP in the early 2000’s.. think it was Doyle’s debut?

I don’t think anything has been “normal” for the last 18 months.

Wasn’t there an article saying that away membership details would be announced around the same time as the fixtures are released? 
 

I’m hoping there will be a period for exist away members to renew before any new members can sign up but that’s me being a little selfish.

had seen something on Twitter, was unsure how reliable it was.

yeah in the same boat, was concerned I’d missed the option to renew (assuming there wasn’t one then) will wait and see… person I spoke to at the ticket office didn’t know, said they’d be putting out details on social media in the coming weeks.

noticed away membership for this season just gone expired 31/5/23, I had already tried the auto renew/enrol option a week or two ago, though it wouldn’t allow me to do anything.. now it’s been removed from my account?

is this normal? 🤷‍♂️

I’d say so, but might have to wait longer?
keep an eye out for an announcement for a relocating period. 
looks like all last season’s ST’s are reserved until July 29th, so every one of those will remain out of bounds to you until then. 

obviously if your target seat wasn’t a ST last season, it should be available right away, and they may allow you to swap straight away, subject to you being able to contact them and their workload?  ?‍♂️
 

best of luck. ?

renewed mine this morning, may email them at some point this week unless there’s an update beforehand about changing seats. Imagine the next bit of news about ST’s from the club will be about the issue with DD payments mind.

appreciate your advice pal thanks ??

Agree with @B4ev6is
They reserve all 21/22 ST seats for renewal, so even if you can/do relocate, you'd be limited as where to move to (Non-21/22 ST seats).  They usually have a few days of "Relocating" after the reserve date, and before general sale.  No idea whether that will apply this year, given the time constraints.

Best bet is to renew for now, then relocate when appropriate.  

I was wondering about this.

looking to move onto the row behind me (chat to the people more than who I’m sat next to) so safest bet would be to renew in my usual seat online tomorrow, then email the club to change seats maybe week or so later?

From my NE Corner seat, I heard nothing, and have never (knowingly) heard the song and/or know what the hell the words are.

Reading the posts on here, I think it best not to ask!

It does appear though, regardless of comments on here, that it offends the intended recipient, and that's enough for me to add my ? to those singing it, encouraging it, and/or condoning it.

We've got a scout in Ireland? 

Didn’t think ours went further than crewe..... ?

I’m NE Corner too, right at the back..

only heard “were Derby boys, we’re on a bender..”

”she said no Billy, she said no..”

wouldn’t waste my energy chanting at opposition players, only backing our own.

You weren't so shabby yourself Tarbolton ?.

There can't be many players who played so few games, but are remembered so fondly.

But you are correct, I doubt I'll ever see a better player than Igor in my lifetime.

straight into that category, Paul Mcgrath...

Ed: so you paid 8m to pay off Philip Cocu?

Mel: no it wasn’t that much but it was a large figure

Ed: do you feel during your tenure you’ve fired managers too easily?

Mel: it’s a great question though you could look at Nottingham Forest for example….

Ed: yes but Nottingham Forest aren’t in administration

What doesn't work is no threat up front. #simples

was disappointed to see us not carry on with Lawrence in the ‘false 9’ role he played at Forest. everything seemed to click in an attacking sense in that game before they changed it up second half.

so not expecting ST cards to arrive in September then, though is there any alternative to just printing tickets off the website or is this the only option? couldn't find anything that stands out on the FAQs other than the possibility of the Cards not arriving..

Your season ticket is automatically carrying over to 21/22 for any games not attended this season. 

I kind of asked for both in my email to them, though only because we were prompted to get in contact. assumed back in September that this season heading to PPS for me would've been a write off (wasn't interested in attending when the possibility of limited capacity came up though the tier system put paid to that anyway) stated the refund but did suggest to them that if the option to carry my payment over to 21/22 is offered just hold onto my money and reactivate the card for next season.. wish seems to have been granted as I've had access for RamsTV for all home games so far since..

can't help but think we'll have to do more chasing for the 19/20 10% discount for whoever requested it next season/post takeover whenever that is.  

still owed the 10% for 19/20 and renewed and paid in full for 20/21..though would take on the option of carrying over my ST payment for 21/22 (glutton for punishment) 

want to be able to vent in person, not at a laptop screen...?
