England Ram Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Added to this the usual frozen season ticket prices. Went down and renewed mine and the kids yesterday, 11 months to repay as well all at the same price as last year. What a guy he is, rewarding fans and their loyalty as much as is practical. Wonder how many clubs have heated concourses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van der MoodHoover Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Dont suppose a cheeky re routing down the m27 is on the cards? I'll be going anyway but a free lift from rownhams services would be the icing on the cake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VulcanRam Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 I've just posted this in @Wolfie's magnificent random stuff that annoys me thread. But seeing it's in the title of this thread and it is possibly the thing that gets my goat above all else on this board, I feel compelled to share it here as well. No offence @Animal is a Ram. Actually, yes. Some offence. Ok, here's something that really, REALLY annoys me. Mel Morris is the owner and chairman of Derby County Football Club. As far as I am aware, he is not related to many of the posters on this board. So WHY WHY WHY do people insist on calling him "Uncle Mel"? He isn't your ******* uncle (unless he actually is your uncle, in which case consider yourself excused. And lucky.) so don't call him "Uncle Mel". Nigel Clough is 50 years old. That, granted, isn't exactly pushing up daisies territory, but neither can he be considered young. So WHY WHY WHY do people insist on calling him "Young Nigel"? Honestly, it does my head in. Please stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angieram Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 This is great news for those going to the game, well done to Mel again. As most of you know I miss very few away matches but will miss this and the Forest match (a little matter of a double celebration elsewhere!) As for Uncle Mel, I always thought of it as an affectionate nickname based on the fact that he is quite avuncular to all us fans. We are all part of the Derby family aren't we?!

Warren Hobhead Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 My first missed away day this season sadly. Fantastic offer by Mel but regardless, moving it to Friday scuppered me. I will hope to catch it on the telly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
