Ovis aries Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Some of you ardent season ticket holders must get peed off when theseemingly better matches are moved continually from a Saturday 3pm kick off to Friday nights or Sundays.It is great for people like me when The Rams games are on TV , but I am only a 1/4 fan nowadays and shouldnot be taken into consideration in these matters, ( do not suppose 1/4 fans are though really ).You S/T holders are the backbone of the club , and should not be mucked about so much IMO.

eddie Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Not bothered.I'm going to go whether we're on telly or not because, in my opinion, the only way to watch football is live. Night matches are even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oxram Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 In our last 15 games this season we will be at home on a Saturday at 3pm just three times.That's before the TV schedule has been agreed too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whiteroseram Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I'm furious. Had to save for a long time for my ST and now I can't make it to the forest game because I cant make friday evenings with my work. Not bothered that it's on sky I'm bothered that it's on Friday evening, fans will be so drunk, there will be so much trouble after the forest game I'm surprised the police have allowed it for that one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deano180 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 These two changes today have moved from on shift to off shift at work, saves me 2 days holiday. Last season the leeds tele game went against me, you win some, you lose some being a shift worker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ossieram Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Moving games to a Sunday doesn't bother me, But moving them to Fridays when i am working nights is a ball ache and means either using a holiday or missing the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RLACML Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Absolutely no way will there be trouble after the game. Hundreds of big fat men being conveniently held back by four policemen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duracell Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I'm fortunate enough to be able to make most games when they're moved for TV, but it's swings and roundabouts. There are fans that can only make non-3pm kickoffs, and it's good for the ex-pats to be able to catch some games too. The massive negative is those that have to miss it for work.Attendances don't swing massively one way or another for TV games, suggesting it's a minor inconvenience at most for the majority. I've missed games before because finishing school/work and making a 7.30pm or 1pm kickoff when you live 70+ miles away isn't always doable, but I don't buy my season ticket for one-off games, I buy it for the season and to make a habit of following Derby.

Note to self...don't comment when I'm to tired to process the information properly. No longer furious but I'm still surprised the police are OK with it being moved to an evening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TelTheRam Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Season before last, I think Leicester only had one 3pm Saturday home game from Feb to end of season.It makes no difference to me whether its Friday night or Saturday as I live and work in Derby, but I can imagine its crap for people having to travel, and that applies to every club, home and away.Imagine Brighton to Leeds on Friday afternoon.

Gone Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I buy my season ticket not just for my love of The Rams but also for the matchday craic (few beers before/after on a Saturday. I absolutely hate Sky TV for destroying our game our tradition and moreover ruining my bloody Saturday's ?. But heyho at least it's funds the likes of Raheem Sterlings moderate salary !!!! The sooner it all implodes and goes to the dogs the better IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
