Killer Shoes Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Just chucking my two bob bit in here, and feel free to shoot me down, but wasn't there a ticketing issue whereby folks could not get the seats they wanted and that general sale folk got the pick of the bunch? I think if the first allocation went as we all thought it should, the shush brigade would have been sat elsewhere. Just a thought.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Greystone Ram Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Thought even from our ‘10 minutes’ before the game that the atmosphere was a bit lacking. Pretty sure the rendition of ‘Steve Bloomer’s Watching’ gave me goose bumps against QPR but was nothing like that today. Also as much as I love the ‘We are Derby’ bit, I’m not sure it was the best thing for today - nothing to sing along to and the Villa fans could boo away to their hearts’ content. However, I was struck before the game wandering around the stadium and the fan parks just how much of a family club we are. Truly fans of all ages, far more so than Villa I thought. Got to accept that not all those people are going to sing and chant in the same way as the ‘hardcore’ support do. They still support and care about the club, many have been season ticket holders for decades I’m sure. The one overriding thing from this season with Frank has been the unity on the pitch - think we should all stand together off it too and accept that fans support in different ways. It’s not a competition - we are all Derby, might even say it’s in our DNA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCG Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 I have a feeling that if we had, had a go from the off, instead of showing too much respect to Villa, that in itself would have got the fans singing. As it was our football was uninspiring and flat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Key Club King Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 I didn't make it today as I'm 8000 miles away but the atmosphere was probably identical to the 2006 play off final before we scored, and that was awful. 2013 was better as we played well almost to the end. Recency bias and the passage of time can make us forget this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlfonzoBurlonzo Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 What a lovely thing to do, blame the fans after losing a Playoff final that they paid 50+ pounds to get to and tell them how they should act and how much they should sing. How bloody condescending can you be. The amount you sing, does not equate to how much passion you have for the club. I, for one, was not singing as much but shouting encouragement which I think is far more effective than singing about how much we hate Forest.

They got the goal which I thought was really soft actually and he shouldn’t get his head on it, poor goal to give away. When we make the changes at 2-0 we looked threatening for the first time in the game, still fans didn’t sing. I’m done with football now ??

Millenniumram Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Ticketing was handled awfully by the club. Look at the way villa did it, we do it like that and our atmosphere is much more organised and better. No effect on the result tho. That lies in the hands of Lampard, some individual players, and the football gods who didn’t want us to win today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minesahartington Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Bizarre to suggest that the clubs action somehow jeopardised the chance for real supporters to go? Every season ticket holder could get one. That’s what 18k or so. Then the non st holders with purchase history so maybe another 6-10k maybe. Then you will get a further 10k ish buying who are “part-time” or one offs.. what should they do guarantee all st holders 1.5 tickets? maybe st holders buying up to 10 for their mates is s problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheresOnlyWanChope Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 The fans were poor today, we didn’t get any proper chants going... the atmosphere before the match and outside was amazing, Covent Garden etc and outside the stadium... ousung Villa... but not when it mattered during the match ...too many drunk people had peaked too early in my opinion and nothing coherent was sung and we didn’t hear half the chants and encouragement we usually give. The players needed us and we didn’t deliver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to focus on the minutiae of the game, sit somewhere which reflects that. Mate I get that, but when Villa were 2 up no wonder all their fans were singing, boot on the other foot our ALL in our singing section would have been singing, clapping, making noise, so we would have been no different and I expect they would have been quieter. Typically fans of all teams react to what’s going on in front of them, think how quiet and moany it was at old Trafford in the cup, who was doing all the singing most of the time. I know it’s not the same and it’s a good point made by Bobby D some fans had no choice where they sat remember and would not even have realised they were in a singing section; everyone would have been happy and joining in to some extent if we had been winning. This debate is a bit blame culture, when everyone is feeling disappointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamRam Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Brilliant day today, no surprise for this forum for fans trying to turn on each other, no atmosphere, try sitting where we were, it was great. i haven’t posted for a while and I remember why, hypocritical fans who think they better than anyone else, great season frank, well done to the players and hats off to the Derby fans, throughout the season ?

Gritstone Ram Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 I noticed two areas on our side of the ground where the were some empty seats. If some people didn’t get tickets I wonder why there were so many empty seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCFC Ram Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Harsh I know but having just got back after a 15 hour round trip including over 6 hours standing on hot, overcrowded trains - which is nothing compared with many on here I know - I can't help but think that I put in a damn sight more effort for my team today than some of the did on the pitch today. So - yeah - the atmosphere could have been better - but it improved a fair bit when our team looked threatening in the last 10 minutes or so. Maybe a bit more of that would have got a better response Again, harsh I know - but I can't help but feel like this was a half-ar$ed effort from most of our side for most of the game that got a fair response from the fans who did the lion's share of the hard work today.

Anything is better than sitting like we’re watching a funeral procession. I’m not a huge fan of singing songs about other clubs either. I’m just extremely disappointed in how flat our fans were when we’ve been building this game up for so long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t expect us to out sing Villa all game, especially just after they’ve scored. What I do expect though is for our fans to be able to get up for a play off final at Wembley, regardless of what’s happening on the pitch. Who knows when we’ll be back?
