PrivateDerby Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Do you know if theres any room for pay on the gate fans in the new block? If not whats my best bet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therams69 Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 If there is space Private I would imagine so... However, with you not committing to a new season ticket I would not expect a cheap ticket in this area. They are only cheap because we have to relocate for certain games...

Martyn Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Yes VIC could be worth a shot.... Well if you want to practice your singing I guess the Vic is the perfect place, you may even get some accompaniment!

rsmini Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 NOT AT ALL DUFFIELD RAM!! The older generation that are interested in atmosphere will always be welcome in my eyes! Good job you didnt mention over 30 or otherwise I would be in that bracket! 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' /> Kind of what badlands just mentioned as well. The older generation are the ones who created the atmosphere at the BBG in the 70's and yes we were under 30 years old at the time. I'm 51 and still try and join in. You will never get the atmosphere like it was years ago. The only time it gets going is when Leeds are are in town. It was even piss poor against Forest recently I have 3 fans who sit in front of me. We have a sweepstake every game about what time they will stand up and go for a beer before half time. The earliest this season so far has been 36 minutes. And they are always late back as well. I've won a few quid on them so far this season 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Tibbs Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Not sure if that was aimed at me. Wasn't aimed at anyone in particular, more in general. If only it was as simple as the rest of you're post says. It should be, but it isn't. I don't think it makes a difference what songs we sing for the most part, especially when there's only 300 or so that can be bothered to go and watch!

Alph Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 I'm going to try playing on my phone and checking the Premiership scores during matches. Might come 10 mins late and go 10 mins early. If I'm honest then ill only open my mouth to moan. Oh, I will sing "We pay your wages, play 442" though. Love a good whinge. For the big games ill sing a bit. You know, "Chelsea's a sh1thole..." And "We'll sing on our own" (after being out sung for 20 mins) I don't do away games. Can't be arsed. I could afford it but I've done my bit for DCFC. Those tight investors won't get my money. Keep the goal music. I've got my celebration dance routine nailed. And turn the volume up before kick off. I love JLS. ..... Yours truly ..........

needles Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 I bet there were 60 year olds in 1974 moaning about the modern songs, and how they missed the atmosphere when George Jobey was manager and Hughie Gallacher was banging them in. The owd timers have to accept that if some kids want to sing Dale whatsitsface then we're better off with that than complete silence. Anything that makes a noise from the stands is fine by me. Here's a thing, what if everybody on here reading this makes a mental note that next time "Come on Derby" or something else that won't scare the little old ladies kicks off, they promise to have at least two bashes at joining in. Doesn't take much to get critical mass and the whole stand joins in. Mob mentality. Anyone sitting thinking they won't/can't for whatever reason, ultimately hasn't got the right to expect their comment to count for much. I try fairly half heartedly, but it never seems to get going round me. I hereby promise to sing an extra few lines worth, even when I'm on my own...

curb Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 I've been saying they need some kind of bar behind the East stand (now south stand), the concourse is far too cold and impersonal (and crap beer) to enjoy having a drink in there. I'm surprised someone's moaning about the fans trying to enjoy themselves at away matches. That's what it's all about isn't it? Well it's what I used to go for. I couldn't imagine anyone going to watch the football the way it's been for the last few years away from home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philmycock Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 What's the point in having a beer before the match, they lock you in and you can't have a chuffing smoke, as anti-sociable as it is it's my only vice!! Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ambitious Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 I was thinking about it the other day the PR team at Pride Park are ******* awful... Honestly would sack every single one of them, as they're clearly not 'football people' Get in someone who knows what the fans want, pre match and media wise because at the minute it is run by ******* idiots! Oh and as for the fans - what can you do, the hardest thing in the world is trying to come up with a good complex song and having enough people to not only start it off but for it to carry and others to enjoy... Generic songs are often used because of well that, they are generic. I would hate to see us sing 'forever blowing bubbles' (which has been done, trust me) 'marching on together' or 'Delilah' We're a club with not much of an identity in terms of fans, not recently... I sit in the south. East corner and some of the chants I don't even know... That is quite bad, but you have to all pull in the same direction, that doesn't happen anymore.

People singing 'forever blowing bubbles' when we play Millwall is up there with the most infuriating things ever to occur in a football ground watching Derby. You just have to hang your head in shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
