Although i was going to be a bit more generous and say that it works out at £204.50 per game. I'm guessing one is Forest so he's probably still better off getting a season ticket.

You can’t spell Derby County without a u in it. The u being you. It’s basically saying Without u (you) there is no Derby County. See the graphic below.

I’m getting flashbacks to the time some fans thought the horn on the Ram was the eye ? Yeah just don't take the U out of the letter Without! I understand Derby County wouldn't be Derby County without "u", but who the duck cares if suddenly the word "without" is spelled wrong. Make the y, o and u black in the word "County", leave "Nothing" and "Without" completely normal, and put "You" in white letters below it and you've got a far more aesthetically pleasing graphic at the very least. Although, I'm just having fun poking holes in it - I'm not remotely clued up enough in the world of marketing to come up with any hashtag alternatives.

Stive Pesley Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Mine is a Cat D Adult for £388 (ten+ year ST holder) in the South Stand Upper Yes it's a small increase - BUT if we were to get promoted, that's less games per season, in a division that is swimming in money, so I'd be disappointed if Mel didn't do something if we reach the promised land The recategorisation of seats has always been questionable. Before moving to the SS in the season where they did the cheap tickets to encourage people to change, my seat in the East Stand was a Cat D. It's now a Cat B?! North Stand Upper is now a Cat C, so that explains why those blocks tend to be empty. Cheapest seats (Cat E) are now the South Stand Lower and the SW Corner top tier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Srg Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Marketing has been pretty pants. No one uses text speak like that anymore since corrective text became a thing. Even with the contrived meaning of a 'U' in County, it just looks a bit naff. Then there was a video of a goal in front of an empty stadium, and then fans put back in, but they picked a goal where there weren't even that many fans there anyway.
