If we get a crowd of 20k for a midweek game against Reading I think that's a really positive turnout. They barely bring any on a matchday in normal times, so a midweek, fuel shortage etc, I imagine numbers will be similar to pre-season Real Betis fans! As an awareness raising campaign and something positive, I think it's been a great idea. I've not listened to/seen any local media so don't know if it's been picked up by them. There was no way on earth you'd ever fill PPS for this fixture, even if the club was giving tickets away. If we got 20k for Stoke on a Saturday, local game and they sold out their end, and we equal or better that tonight, that's a great effort by Derby fans. I've been on Radio Derby plugging it, it's been mentioned on Twitter by Kieran Lee and the Punjabi Rams (that isn't a new band) with the latter declaring it their aim. The administrators have asked for an extra 5k in match tickets to be sold to help with costs and get a buyer. They have increased the ticket office hours after representation.

I imagine that will have some bearing as the older supporters will no doubt be more cautious. Personally I also think we are at or around our hard core support level.

If you subtract the 2,000 odd away section that still leaves nearly 22,000 sold. Reading will have sold a few and there will still be a few more today and on the night so surely the crowd will be 22,000 at least? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozza Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 I would like to think having the ticket office open up to kick off could add another few hundred 'walk in' supporters, who otherwise wouldn't have bothered. Good luck.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it assumes all season ticket holders attend so, whilst tickets sold (including ST's) may be 22,000, actual attendance will be lower.

Gerry Daly Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 I would agree it is. When did they stop including ST sales as attendees anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if we have but, it would be good if the ground isn't half empty regardless of the fact that the official attendance suggested otherwise because it might include non attending ST holders.

SparxTheRam Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 Off to the game tonight, think the atmosphere will be electric but couldn't seem to buy a parking space at the ground, anyone know if this will be pay at the gate too? I've emailed the club but not heard back Where else is good to park if not? Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
