I'd sooner boycott the game than give them robbing ******** my money and Mel's. It's still £45 a ticket. Problem with that is that I think the club have to pay full price for every seat we do not sell, so either way we're getting robbed. Much more beneficial for Mel to do what he did for the club (probably as we probably wouldn't have sold out) and the fans, and I thank him for it.

But we get more money this way rather than setting the prices cheaper, the only fans now being robbed are the Man Utd ones. Well played is say, although I think he probably read my post to come up with the idea ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angieram Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 I'm really thrilled about this. I was going anyway, but I would rather go with 5,000 fellow Rams in full voice than about 1,500 of us. The money saved will pay for one of our Roadrider tickets and some towards the other. Mel Morris is brilliant. As we will inevitably sell more tickets now he will hopefully recoup most of it in our share of the ticket sales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angieram Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Just now, cannable said: Any unsold tickets would have to be paid for buy Derby anyway. Changed my view on it. Boycotting purchasing stuff from the concourse is the best we can do. We take a flask and sarnies to all our away matches. It looks a bit mean but it means we can afford more games. I sometimes have a cuppa at the ground but I certainly won't at Old Trafford. What a grand gesture! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would assume that this is for members then there will be STH with two away games then STH. Those on sale dates are not available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cannable Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 I do hope we don’t start EXPECTING gestures like this. We can’t get into the frame of mind if ‘oh, Mel’ll pay for it’. Class gesture, as was Brighton. Let’s be thankful and not start taking the piss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramblur Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Fine gesture by Mel,and very happy for our loyal fans.Would like to point out that my input was purely academic,and not a call for subsidies (as I'm not in a position to call for anything,even if I do support the ladies ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
