So the delay is down to poor communication from DCFC? I find that difficult to believe. ?

I couldn't agree more. Imagine if Neil Hallam was around.
Even simple, probing journalism about stuff like the ticket office being closed and the phone lines down, let alone everything else!
I realise that newspapers, especially local ones, are pretty much dead but you would have thought that these people would be fighting for answers on our behalf. Probably too worried about frosty relations with the club / getting cut out, but getting cut out from what? They don't get anything other than anodine interviews with players saying that they 'will go again' and how the performance 'wasn't acceptable'.

Hit the nail firmly on the head.
I think back to when both Wigan and Bolton were in their plights and how hard the local press up there fought for answers and information in those situations.
A journalist from the local press was even banned from Bolton‘s stadium for a period of time (IIRC) for probing too far. Still, they continued to fight on behalf of the supporters.
Can anyone honestly say they’d expect the same from ours? I can’t, sadly.

The club is in crisis. On the eve of a new season without a squad.
Steve Nicholson regurgitates Alan Nixon's stories and the Punjabi Rams tweets. With nothing added, no investigative journalism at all.
Ed Dawes from Radio Derby is asking for mock ups of Messi in a Derby shirt.
That's our local press. The ones we should rely on to get answers.
We're a joke.

It might help if the ticket office was open. I’m not a business genius or anything but can see a certain logic to that possibly impacting on sales. 

For those of us going on Saturday, remember to email the club at least a week before if you want a pint at half time. No bars will be open on the day.

I totally agree. Quite happy to film the forums during the good times but you have to be open and honest with the supporters during the rough times as well.
I was at the one in the cinema when Lampard had taken over and remember Mel and Pearce saying that we wouldn’t fail FFP and being self congratulatory about beating Villa to the £3.5 million signing of Malone. How times have changed. We can’t even afford someone to work in a ticket office anymore. That alone should be cause for concern enough for local press to be asking and demanding answers. 
I hope tonight gives all supporters answers to the massive range of questions that need answering because we are seemingly in a mess comparable to 1984, and I know how very close we were to losing the club then. People are worried and concerned about something which is engrained into their soul and heart and no one should be vilified or questioned for wanting answers to these genuine concerns.
Let’s hope we get them and sign a couple of aging centre halves, failed midfielder and centre forward who doesn’t score to raise morale!
