DarkFruitsRam7 Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 6 hours ago, angieram said: That central segregation was way over the top. There was only a thin strip between United fans and the South Stand (where you might anticipate a little bother) but to separate a whole block down the halfway line right next to the East Stand pussycats (not even the ones who usually stand near the away fans) is a little bizarre. I know that due to partitioning in the concourse they can't open that whole block, but they could have used half of it with the entrances same as those for the first few columns of East Stand fans - we wasted a fair few pounds of income there, I reckon! East Stand pussycats??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angieram Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 When we were away at Hull in second leg of play off semifinal there were literally only 10 rows between us and the Hull fans with a bit of skewwift netting and very few stewards. I was right on the end and did wonder what would have happened if we'd gone on to win the tie overall. Luckily we didn't win and I live to tell the tale!

oldtimeram Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 I always thought the record attendance was for the Ted McMinn testimonial against Rangers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember going to Newcastle sometime in the 90s-Hoult was in goal- and the only segregation was that there was an aisle between us and the geordies with a steward sat on the end of every second row. Struck me as unusual but no bother as we predictably laid down and offered them the points! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll be back in 81 Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 3 hours ago, Uptherams said: Yes they are ??. What i mean is the actual concrete rows. If i remember correctly, lifting up the roof to match the main stand, allows for 15 additional rows, which takes the capacity up to 44,000. Hope you are right, I would love to be in there with 43000 plus that would be something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boycie Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Apparently, if you went to the Manu game it will get you priority access to the Wembley play off final this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColonelBlimp Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 What was the population of Derby mid 90's when the stadium was being designed/ built? What is it now? If you have better and easier access to PP from the town centre and other directions then i think 40,000 seater stadium would work for us. Media profile and promotion would help too.

Woodley Ram Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Is this due to where you can block off the home and away fans on the course way . Cup games give the away side a larger block of tickets , I think it’s 15% . If the sliding doors can only be shut the other side of the commentary box then that would leave all of the seats in front of it free and would you want to give those seats to Man U fans ?

And before anyone points it out I know it was a cup game on Thursday ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There really didn’t look to be too much segregation last night. Nah, the EFL insisted we reduced the attendance and gate receipt valuation ??
