NottsRam

Born in Eastwood, Notts but my Dad was Smalley born n bred.  There was no way i was going to be allowed to follow anyone but Derby.  Im heading for 60 now and some of my oldest and best friends are through following the Rams.  It's a way of life and my son is carrying on the tradition.

Not an old one really but i used to love a good chorus of:

Oh Graham Poll

He's a ducking ar$ehole

If I had the wings of a sparrow

If I had the @rse of a crow

I'd fly over the City Ground Nottingham

And $hit on the bar stewards below

Watching the Jeffrey Dahmer dramatisation on Netflix.  Sickening but fascinating stuff.

D- R- I- the derbyshire Royal Infirmary, thats where you'll be spending the night, the Derbyshire Royal Infirmary!

When you're tired and weary your heart will miss a beat

You'll get your flippin head kicked in as you walk down Shaftesbury Street

You'll walk into the Popside, you'll hear a mighty roar

Go away you Forest scoundrels

We are the Derby boys

I remember at the BBG in the 70’s when they would shout Heanor , Heanor and the pop side would respond Sharples Sharples. For the more “mature “ supporters ?

They were the days chap, remember it well.

Did make me chuckle that with all their time wasting, when he gave added time second half he only gave them 4 minutes. 

Was hilarious when McGoldrick went over as if to take a late corner then ran off wasting a few seconds.  I thought Ainsworth was going to have a seizure bless him

The Queen dies and the gobshite minority like Trevor Sinclair need to tell you how not bothered they are. 

Don't get me started on that imbecile.  How someone with a conviction for racism amongst other things can disrespect our Head of State is just unbelievable.  If he ever works in media again it will be a travesty.

Just seen the highlights.

Don't they have an offside rule in League One?

Argyle's first two "goals" looked offside to me.

Oh well, onwards and upwards!

 

Having seen it again, first was onside, it looked as if Jason Knight who was initially out of the picture was behind everyone else.

Second was definitely offside, by a couple of feet but the officials were so very poor all afternoon it was no surprise that it was missed.

Does anyone on here use car park A, the one accessed at the south-east corner of the stadium?  I was wondering what it is like for getting away after the game.  I know they close the road for a while after the game, usually until after the buses have gone, but once opened, is it ok to get away?

I have been using the velodrome car park but it takes ages to get out and down to Wilmorton.  And i don't like leaving early either!

Someone could make some money if they could arrange a few coaches surely?

It's a real problem to organise transport, particularly this season.  With people not knowing if they will get a ticket until pretty near the match date, it makes pre-booking coaches near impossible.  With the high cost of coach hire you need to get substantial numbers just to break even, trust me, there is no money to be made, although i think the football club would be best positioned to run transport without making a loss but their priority has to be revenue at the moment i guess.

I’d say they’re digging themselves a big hole, but that could be inappropriate. 

Not in my back yard

Jinxed it ?

Dal out playing a terrible shot to a terrible ball.

At 62-7 it could be an early finish!

I was thinking that allocations for the likes of Oxford, Wycombe, Accrington etc might be relatively small, but I don't know for sure. 

Up to 5000 at Oxford apparently

Over 2,800 tickets sold for this now. Fantastic support!

Only about 150 left now by my reckoning.

Does anyone know why they haven’t had any pre-season friendlies at their tip ?   Are replacing the pink seats ?

and having to alter the Bridgford end to accomodate and segregate 3,000 away fans, and extending media area to accomodate more journos.

Not as I understand it. I am in the west country supporters club but can only get away tickets through them if I am an away member. Only benefit is that we all sit together. Allocation is controlled by DCFC ticket office who are given details of those in the branch who have away membership. 

This is true, the SC branch members are subjected to the same eligibility rules as anyone else, whether they order through the branch or not.

It was bought at a sale from Pride Park, When opening it it said last owner was a Mr M Morris?

Probably the same one that Quantuma used when doing their due diligence calculations on Mr Kirchner

Are you sure, My calculator makes it £1150  

You need a better calculator, it is compound interest, and 13.5% (my bad)

Classic Ramstrust pushing a 42.6% APR loan as an alternative. Never been fit for purpose. To think these clowns wanted a seat at the top table. 

I've done mine on a 0% credit card, but if I did not have this option i can get a loan from the bank at 15%APR so a £1000 loan paid over a year costs 1070.00.  Quite why anyone would pay over 40% APR I'm not sure.

These figures are taken from Birmingham at home last season, we know that game sold out

Attendance: 32,211 (Away 3,145).

I remember sell outs used to be 33,010 not sure where those seats were lost.

So on that basis it is 29,000 home tickets available? 

Did the capacity alter when away fans moved from south stand to the corner and two segregation areas were necessary?

Gawd help us if we lose this one, they will be calling for LR's head

I think it will start to stall now DD isn't currently an option.

More people should get out a credit card 0% interest option which is actually better than paying DD as you pay more overall. 

I was waiting for DD option but renewing today on credit card.  Hopefully most of those waiting for DD can get themselves an  interest free card, there are loads available and as you say it costs absolutely nothing more than the ticket price if its paid off within the interest free period which can be up to two years.  You can set up a direct debit to pay it off over 12 months or however long you want and cut the card up if you wish.
