Brighton in the play offs? Look at the bigger picture young David. What’s a few rank burgers when the ultimate goal is near on £200 million. Thats some burgers, less if they’re gluten free obviously.

I am not a season ticket holder - as i can't get to most games - and i work in London in the week- I live in Fulham in the week!!! So obviously I am keen to go to both legs. Might have to sneak in somewhere at Craven Cottage!! This Fulham mate of yours needs to become your bestie pal! With them being able to purchase 4 extra tickets I suggest you use and abuse him.

For months I’ve been reading on this forum how the fans play no part in the result. Now we get a smaller allocation for our away tie it becomes an issue, which is it?

therams69 Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 Just remembered ... Its 35 years since that fateful day at the BBG when they came to us on the last day of the season. 14 May 1983 We go there on 14 May 2018, 35 years later, will they still be bitter? You god damn know they will be! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never heard that, though I tend to ignore the over-negative comments in here. Of course fans play a big part in a football match. That's common sense. Away fans are by nature louder than home fans. You don't give your opponent the opportunity to dominate the atmosphere if it's not reciprocated. In professional sport, you never voluntarily give away an advantage to your opponent and this should be obvious to all at Derby County. To do so is simply unprofessional.

They do play a big part, not everyone will agree with us. With the numbers we are talking about though I don’t see it giving us any significant advantage. Also worth pointing out that Craven Cottage holds around 25k, let’s say they give us 2k, that’s only 23k home fans. Pride Park will do 31k, with 3k way fans that gives us 28k. We have the “advantage” already if we choose to use it as we did v Brighton a few years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will - he works for me - and so if he dosn't get me one - he's sacked. And he'll probably have to go and sit with Hugh Grant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ariotofmyown Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 Might be worth giving them about 6k for the game at our place. Will cut out a fair few fairweather fans who will start moaning after the first misplaced pass or boo if we are 1 down at half time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamUltraRam Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 Their website says they will have blocks P1 to P4 for home fans. http://www.fulhamfc.com/help/faq/visiting-the-cottage https://www.eticketing.co.uk/fulhamfc/EDP/Season/Index/753 Blocks P5 - P7 hold close to 3,000 so with a bit of segragation that gives us about 2,750 (hopefully) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
