Alph Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 I agree about the fairness of ticket allocation. I think it's fair enough. But it's just the atmosphere will take a bit of a dip. Like I said I like it that over 4,000 Derby fans go to Notts. and I like to see a rammed away end at PP. I hate having 12 away fans to banter with. The more the merrier. 2,000 is a bit boring. With 26,000/31,000 home fans.... Might aswell just send Nick like usual Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alph Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 the loyal fans who go to away games from your lot (All 150 of you) will be guaranteed a ticket I imagine. Only the day trippers will miss out. So stop crying about it. Meeeeeoooooow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got my tickets so planning to get into Meadow Lane early for a beer. Gonna be an early start for the Cockney Rams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might aswell just send Nick like usual Totally agree with you here, If I was in charge (hypothetically) I would limit I would give the away fans the benefit of the system we use, never going to happen. But what would you rather have 200 or 2000, I love it when there's a decent away following. Adds to the game. Hopefully there will be changes in the offing and the FA finally takes on board everything whats wrong with the game. I know it's only one speech but Mr Dyke looks the FA chief executive we should of had after 1996, straight to the point and looks forwards not backwards. Might even write to him regarding away ticketing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambitious Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Loads of regulars will miss out because they aren't willing to pay the £30 it would seem! 500 tickets left - no chance of making season ticket sales, act now if you want to go!

HeyHudson Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Well they've suckered me into it... just bought a membership as I seriously doubt they'll make it to ST sales (and even then, I'm not able to spend hours on the phone!) First Forest away match since I moved back from living in L**ds for 6 years so I'm not bloody missing it. My £30 better go towards a new CB, ferfuckssake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyB Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Over the summer, both clubs chose to move home fans to behind the goal where away fans sat last season and reduce the away end to around 2,000. Derby chose to maintain the large away followings and relocate these home fans for the games against Leicester, Leeds, Sheff Wed and Forest. Forest didn't. If the Pride Park game had been first this season, Forest would have got their usual away allocation. This is just poor planning by Forest, pure and simple. Now, Forest will deserve to only get only 2,000 at Pride Park. Will Forest be able to sell 28,000 tickets, or have they wasted the other 2,000 we would have sold? Will this encourage Derby fans just to buy tickets in the Forest end? I suspect this decision will backfire and we'll be back to 4,000 tickets each next season.

Add on the ticket prices.. How much does that come in at? I bet that's not far off £150. No thanks, it's just too much on top of our ST's. There. I've had my moan. Watch somebody call me pathetic for moaning. IMO, it's nowt but a rip off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
