Ram@Lincoln Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Seems like people started leaving after their second goal and I would have if I wasn't there with my lad. By far the worse Derby performance since the infamous Premiership season, actually thinking about it, probably worse, and I went to all 38 of them. Can anyone think of a worse Derby performance? Who on here left the earliest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinder Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Er, I think I claim that award. 20 minutes!! Took my lad to his first away game and he got really upset. We were sitting right at the front behind the goal. When Barnsley scored their first a Derby fan went over to give their players some abuse. Nothing too serious or offensive as fast as I could see but the stewards went right over the top and chucked him out. All the people round us went crackers, fair bit of swearing and hostility. My lad just got really frightened and was about to burst into tears! I gave it 10 minutes but he was so upset we had to leave. Gutted but we'll try again next season. On the plus side, we didn't have to sit through the rest of the game and were home by 6! Anyone know if that guy got back in? We saw him outside when we were leaving.

Kinder Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Thanks mate. Wasn't a criticism of the Derby fans though, my lad was just too young to cope with it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could have come and stood at the back. There was plenty of moaning but nothing like that. Back at 6 did you walk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I accept the point but a football match isn't Daddy Day Care, I personally don't swear infront of children at all (and rarely swear anyway) but I allow usual standards to drop lower for a football match. We don't want to make football a spectator sport like Tennis, have to remember that as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B4ev6is Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Well it is a lot of money to waste and a long way home again were ever your from but i could not let that put him off see his derby play even at that early age. And his dad found me on here and thanked me Personal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ram@Lincoln Posted August 13, 2016 Author Share Posted August 13, 2016 When I take my lad, like today, I try to find a relatively empty area of seats to sit in, or if a little busy somewhere with other kids his age. As mentioned by North Stand Ram, there were hundreds leaving and causing congestion on the hill up to the cars and buses. I even saw one bus leave with about 10 minutes still left. As I said in the first post, I would have left early, probably 60 minutes, but I stayed as my lad wouldn't have liked leaving early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
