Wistaston Ram

I see that Carlisle are opening up the terrace behind the goal (Waterworks End), unfortunately it is only for home fans.

May 86 v Rotherham 2-1 Promotion, Christie cool as custard, Gee brilliant goal , dodgy penalty , awful pitch

Definitely up there in my top three games attended. My first taste of success as a Derby fan after ten long lean years apart from the odd cup run in the early 80s.

Wahoo, managed to get a ticket for Carlisle.  Very little left.

36. Year, opponents, memories. 5-3 away win.

FAC tie at Spurs , 1973 I think

Last dozen or so tickets left for the bottom tier at Bolton. Will the upper tier open?

How many does the bottom tier hold at Bolton, been 3 times to the new stadium, I am sure its around 3500.

I think the bottom tier must hold about 2850 as the top tier has 2300 seats making a total allocation of about 5150

He never played for Wednesday at this level. The last time he played at this level he scored 35 goals in 40 league games. 

When was that? with Huddersfield 10 years ago?

Hopefully more will be sold next week

I think there are quite a few holding out for the upper tier.  We must have sold about 2200 so far with the top tier holding another 2,300

Why would you turn down Derby and choose Blackpool?

to meet other donkeys

Still 679 tickets left in the bottom tier at Bolton. Was going to wait to see if the top tier becomes available but decided to get my tickets now. Planned some work visits on Friday in Yorkshire, a stop over in Brighouse and a leisurely drive over the Pennines. Looking forward to it.

If you can't be optimistic and dreaming of better times at the start of the season, when can you be? Cannot wait for tomorrow, working in the morning but have arranged a visit 3 miles from Derby which is handy!

Exeter, Bolton, Bristol Rovers, Oxford, Carlisle, Orient, Northampton & Stevenage for me.  Grounds I would like to re-visit include Port Vale & Shrewsbury (the most local), Cheltenham, Wigan & Fleetwood.

Yep, some nice kits on that site - this one is based on the Chapecoense 2023 Umbro Away Kit - I thought magenta for the away kit!

Like the home and blue kit, but that red one looks so wrong! - just needs a broccoli on the front instead of a ram to complete the horror.

Renewed straight from the link in the e-mail the club sent me, which was very easy. Not sure I like the limp strap line 'we go again',  negatively implying it was a failed season (which in my eyes it wasn't). Still, I'm looking forward to making the trip across from Cheshire to my spiritual home every other week or so.

Jay Aston, Bucks FIzz, Sarah Greene, Blue Peter, Susanna Hoffs, the Bangles

Sarah Greene for me as well. Loved Blue Peter at that time with of course rams fan, Simon Groom 

Why is a deflection for a goal always wicked?

Yes, would be great to stay with NSPCC but that comes with a financial cost. 

Agreed, at the end of the day it's not my money so cannot blame DC if we need company sponsorship, just hope it's not a betting company.

Be great if we could continue with NSPCC on the shirt or similar charity.  Would hate to go back to some betting company.

I've slept on it and a couple more positives have come to mind for the season ahead.

We get to play in the Papa Johns Trophy once again.

We get to play Reading once again after a long 1 year absence.

The positives of not going up are definitely outweighing the negatives.

I was feeling a little better until I read this.

Love this. I’ve been through thick & thin with this club for the last 42 years and was gutted at the final whistle yesterday. Then 5 minutes later me and my mate were discussing our away trip schedule for next season! COYR.

I know what you mean, looking forward to going to Orient next season and getting to those grounds I missed out on this season, Exeter and Bristol Rovers.

IF we get to the playoffs and play Sheffield Wednesday, the second leg prices are £20 adults, £15 seniors and under 21s, £10 under 17s and £5 under 11s. 
wonder if this will be reciprocal.

I wonder if this is to appease the Wednesday fans after the large hike in season ticket prices recently announced - cheapest adult tickets £510 on the Kop, up to over £700 in the West Stand and they could still be watching League 1 football.
