eddie Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 No difference where we were, still surrounded by the coffin-dodger squad. At one point in the second half, two old chaps next to me had a full blown conversation about the size of 'Breakaway' bars these days...... They're not as nice as they used to be anyway, same as Marathons - never the same since they changed their name - and I swear that sugar lumps are smaller these days. Can you still buy Charles Buchan's Football Monthly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIMBAUD Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Well, yes, I agree that more is merrier. But some stuck around when we were *****, and I guess this is a tribute to those fans. Sure - but we shouldn't be precious about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal is a Ram Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 I hadn't had a season ticket before this season for about 10 years. Mostly because my parents couldn't afford it, and neither could I. Decided to take the plunge this season, with the advent of the CAT E seating. What timing..

ollycutts1982 Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 As has been said. The more the merrier. Plus in previous seasons us season tickets have been complaining about playing style, formation, selection, management, ownership, overpricing but still attending every game possible. If we are playing poorly and not setting the league alight people are going to stay away. The attendances have been falling gradually over the years. It's nice to see the crowds coming back. For me I hate to see the ground 1/3 empty. 26,000 plus at least for me thanks. Stop whining and enjoy. If crowds are up we must be doing something right.

ossieram Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 It doesn't really bother too much, But there were some on the back row of the south stand yesterday that were in others seats who didn't give a **** and people were standing on there seats because there was no room. The stewards were shouting to tell them to get down, But did nothing when one bloke said "I will get down when you move people who are here that shouldn't be" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cam the Ram Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 I'm the opposite Had a season ticket and went to away games for years. Live with my Great Grandma and she became ill earlier this year so I now can't go to games as I have to stay and care for her and so I gave my season ticket for this season to a friend So Boycie in a few years you'll need to ask me, "where were you when we were good?"

Boycie Posted December 22, 2013 Author Share Posted December 22, 2013 Well, I'm mentally scarred. I keep thinking we're getting too cocky and are bound to get taught a lesson. But, we play below par, and keep winning? Will somebody bring my Derby County back please!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gritty Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 It's fantastic lost sheep are returning to the flock. For those people who supported throughout the hard times in most of last decade, that's great. But don't do down your fellow rams. Welcome them back so we have even more support for the team.

zippy Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Picking up tickets from the marquee before the Donny game was an absolute shambles, it looked like the management didn't know what had hit them. On the plus side the missus got all shouty at the ref........ didn't see that one comin' Its great to see us doing good business, just need to get a bit more professional in delivering as a good a service off the pitch as we are currently getting on it ! ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uttoxram75 Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 I found it utterly unbelievable that people we joining the queue at twenty to three. We're pulling in 25,000 - 26,000 fans now with virtually no away fans. The last 3 home games have barely had more than 1,000 away supporters between them. We had a bigger crowd than Stoke v Villa on saturday. Villa took 3,000, Donny brought about 500? I can see some big queues on New years day!

Brammie Steve Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 I know! When I was on hold for an hour for Barnsley tickets, I was cursing the buggers! Bring back the days when the club used to call asking if I wanted to buy tickets! You mean when you phoned to ask time of kick-off and they'd reply. "What time can you get here?” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Massive respect for anyone who dedicates their time to caring for another person. There're are a few really good charities out there that can provide helpers for a few hours a week in order to give respite to those who are caring for someone. Could be something worth thinking about if you ever felt you wanted a hard-earned break for a weekend to go an unwind/watch the footy/etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
