But they can’t tell you how many are going to buy tickets. The update you wanted is in the other thread.

But assuming everyone eligible buys, if that is 400 say, you know you have a good chance if you're in the next category.

I had one last year, but didn't use it, for various reasons.

Do you think it'll make much difference to my chances of securing away tickets this year if I have one or not? 

Went fairly regularly before Covid, maybe 15 games a year, but now my lads a full adult, I'd need two.

If you want to start to build up credit for the season after, I'd say yes.

There are quite a few games that everyone will get to, but if you aren't an away member it might not give you a history that counts the season after.

I suppose it depends on whether you can afford it.

There's a finite amount of tickets going to be available, that's not the clubs fault! All they're doing is prioritising the fans who travelled up and down the country last season supporting a team that was likely to go down ?‍♂️

Losers you mean. How many times did we win away last season? A couple. Need some new blood I say to cheer them on.

By the way, I can see a roaring trade in away ticket purchases by members. Can’t go? Well buy the ticket anyway, and sell it on to a mate. Keeps attendance numbers up for priority the following season. 

p.s. I’m your mate for Charlton, Portsmouth, Cheltenham, Oxford and FGR.

Just a thought, @Curtains - with this system all the higher priority members will end up with the crap tickets in the corners, whereas you're going to be right in the middle behind the goal! 

Every cloud ...?

I’ve realized the Club survival is far more important than anything else. .

Up the Rams. 
 

The new season that we thought we may never have as Derby fans is on its way .

Good luck to everyone

Not necessarily, true with Charlton, Mansfield all the seats have been released.

No they haven't. the block behind the goal for Mansfield wasn't available to me.

Just had a look and it’s showing ABCDE with tickets in all areas, strange.

I can, so I have. 

Hopefully get Charlton and Mansfield, then take it from there.

Without trawling through the pages I'm not sure if this was answered but away cup games do not count towards games attended when looking at away memberships.

It’s not an argument, cup games don’t count, period.

Yep, Ipswich took 7000 to MK last season.

I wonder if at any point the priority allocations will change? 

It would be a bit odd if at some point we didn't switch to away games in the current season, rather than the previous one. 

Maybe a combination of both?

It was stated in the initial brief that it was to reward the fans that had stuck by the club in a difficult season or words to that effect. So going to games this season will move you up the priority next season. Of course  it won’t please everyone.

I remember with great fondness the 68/69 season when we won Division 2 under Cloughie - we smashed attendance record after attendance record that season (over 20,000 of us went to Villa Park). It was a brilliant time, with every game being like a party attended by thousands.
