RadioactiveWaste Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Winning the next two might help. Weve had a "big" cup tie the last three seasons, novelty worn off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leemark Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Simple economics. Price elasticity of demand. In this case they have stretched the elastic (the price) to much and it (demand for tickets) has fallen off a cliff face. Bust the elastic they have. Silly.

They assumed we would be playing football people wanted to watch and that Liverpool fans in Derby would buy the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Le Mesmer Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 It's a home tie against Liverpool who do respect the competition by playing pretty strong sides. Yes we aren't playing well and tickets are a bit pricey but it's worth remembering that 2 thirds of the entire football league would yearn for a tie like this. We shouldn't take it for granted. On paper and on form we should lose comfortably but it doesn't work out like that sometimes.Quite often too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that we have played Chelsea twice and Man U in the last three years and not even laid a glove on them has probably sapped people's enthusiasm, as has our current form, as has the fact you see plenty of Liverpool on the telly. Can't say I'm interested about the game at all, although I am going because if we do win a) it'll be exciting and b) I'd be mighty pissed off if I'd missed it!

I'm viewing the game through lower league eyes so I'm genuinely ecstatic about the tie. For others though having seen prem teams come to the ipro and the home players not make a game of it then I can understand why they would think twice this time around. It's a different day though, some new players and manager and so who knows? That's the beauty of football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TroyDyer Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 I'm going but have rarely feared a match as much as this one. Given we can't defend against a half decent team, and we can't score in a brothel, I fail to see anything other than a humiliation. If Liverpool turn up, this could be 7.

Leicester can afford to subsidise their fans with cheap ticket prices though. In fact I think they deserve credit for doing so. They could easily have charged 25 quid plus and got plenty of people to pay it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ketteringram Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Has anyone used print at home? Is it just a PDF thing that you print out, like a boarding pass? I don't have a computer or printer. Can I email the ticket to work, and print it there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will need the whole barcode to gain admission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sexydadbod Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Can we do what they have on Fifa and forfeit this match so it is only a 3-0 defeat. If Liverpool are up for it then it could get a bit messy for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be setting off by rural roads from hants in the next 20 min or so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uttoxram75 Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 I can't foresee any circumstances that won't end up in a win for Derby. I know Liverpool are a good side, but after we've won convincingly at Bristol City, the confidence will be high enough to see us through to the 4th Round of the League Cup. I don't think they have a player who can live with Hughsey and he'll be up for this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TETRA Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Lose tomorrow at Bristol City & fail to score YET AGAIN, should set us up very nicely to be played off the park by a free scoring Liverpool next Tuesday at the iPro. Should do our players non existent confidence the world of good. God help us, that's all I can say ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
