I’m working til 7.30 on Wednesday night, will take me about 45mins after to get to pride park, does anyone know if I’ll still be able to get in the ground at that time?

I'm in a similar boat on Wednesday. 

I emailed the ticket office and this was their response:

The more I think about this, the more I think the club (or more accurately, it’s administrators!) have got an opportunity to do something bigger with this. I’ve seen an article on the app labelled “Back the Boys”, which seems to be a simple point towards the ticket office hours and the online link for tickets.

Could the club be more targeted about it, and figure out from their systems who has bought tickets in the past, but haven’t done so this season? Or maybe even last season too? Mail shot those people with really simple instructions on how to buy a ticket. Don’t offer them a discount- it rather defeats the point- but encourage them to show up when it’s needed. I suspect you’ll get a fair few that still can’t go (myself included), but surely you’ll get some bites.

I’ve assumed plenty- that the club have the staff, the time, the technology to pull it off- and I recognise that in current circumstances that is likely not to be the case. But if the administrators meant what they said about bums on seats, I think they have to do more.

This thread is brilliant- a smart idea, backed by plenty of generous fans. A great example of how this fan base is different from those at other clubs who might exit when the administrators enter. But it’s limited by playing to a captive audience. Hopefully via Radio Derby and other means the message can be spread over the next few days.

Reminds me of series 2 of 'Sunderland 'til I die'. They really had a push on promotion and marketing for getting fans to the game. Really think that's something we need at PP now after a slow start attendence wise this year.

What about the working women, old folks and kids? 

I think the behaviour of some of these people is an insult to the "working man" you refer to. 

Fair point

I went to the Bramhall Lane game in August when we played them in the league cup.

First away game in quite a while and the atmosphere was fantastic. But, it did also remind me why I've not been to too many in the past. A few young lads who were clearly 'on' something and falling about all over the place. A few other lads who were much more interested in trying to get the attention of the home fans than watching the match.

However, it is part of the identity of football as the working man's game. I wouldn't want it to become a sanitised middle class experience.

Wow

Fkin Allsop miles out of his box..muppet 

Yes, I'm not quite sure Allsop has 'sweeper keeper' in him...

Week on from admin and The Rams are still playing like absolute legends.

Is the game on Rams TV today? Can’t find it..

Only outside the UK. Then it would appear and be able to purchase.

Interview appears to have been taken down now. Conspiracy theory?

Could it be to do with the legal action referenced in the Wycombe thread?

Surely someone will purchase Bielik in Jan?

I know we really want hope at this time, but I really can't see an appeal of that nature be even close to working.

Interestingly, Wayne has raised £21 million tonight by liquidating his image rights company. Is he accumulating funds to buy the club?

Hard to tell. Could he just be preparing for prolonged unemployment?

Just trying to think of some positives from all of this...

Hopefully all possible deductions apply to this season meaning next season we can start from scratch

Relegation is out of the players & Rooneys hands, almost a free hit of a season to try new things out & give youth minutes

Mel will finally be gone

Just hoping we have someone competent take us over, no point deductions apply to next season & that we actually have a club to support next season.

Yes, only issue is that embargo rules will now continue for two years...

Great timing ?

Didn't want to start an entirely new thread so thought I'd post in here.

What is the latest you can get into PP? Let's say you had a ticket and other commitments. Would you be let in at half time at all? Or is there a cut-off for late gate?

Roos has been superb tonight

Absolutely. Could have easily been 3 or 4 -0.

Roos MOTM

ST deadline for early bird is 8th Sept. After that all seats go on sale, either for people to buy ST or game by game. That'll be why they're waiting I imagine. 

Yes that's what I took from the Facebook campaign today. They don't have to reserve so many seats to the non-attending 19/20 ST holders then.

I don't think United's team is actually that good. Not good enough for the major titles anyway.

The fullbacks are decent at best, but nowhere near the standard of say Liverpool's fullbacks. The midfield of McTomminay, Fred and Matic is no better than West Ham's midfield options.

Pogba is a quality player but lacks structure. Bruno Fernandes is a brilliant player but has yet to prove himself in the big games. Portugal certainly didn't trust him at the Euros.

There are question marks over Marcus Rashford. 11 goals last year wasn't great for a forward. United seem to have more hope with Mason Greenwood, who will now see his playing time restrcited as a centre-forward.

Question marks over Sancho too. Brilliant stats at Dortmund. But was that down to the Bundesliga's open flowing football and not very good defences? Hasn't impressed on the international stage.

Oh and United's goalkeepers aren't on the level of City or Liverpool either. I don't think Klopp, Pep or Tuchel would take many United players at all given the chance.

But that's just me.

Perhaps not, but arguably better on paper than Fergie's final title winning team.

Still, they won't win the title this year.

Looking at the past two seasons, looking like we would have to get close to 55 - 60 points to avoid the drop with a 9 point deduction.
