I thought the section in the stand at the side that we had on Saturday would be trouble-free, but from just a couple of reports that we've had on here it seems there were a small number in there who didn't behave themselves. With all the recent history, I'm just not surprised that Wycombe are being cautious. jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angieram Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Someone retweeted "Pint of bitter?" Made me laugh. Personally think this is more likely to lead to trouble, not less. Especially when they've helped our biggest rivals by giving them better allocations. Zag zig, Jourdan, Foreveram and 3 others 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has feel of biting their nose off to spite their face. I'm sure Warney and his staff will use it as a motivator to fire up the team. They're an insignificant little team not worth losing any sleep over. Let's do our talking on the pitch. I'm sure they'll have plenty of decent supporters that will be genuinely embarrassed by their chairmans actions.

Ram@Lincoln Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Interesting thoughts on the Wycombe forum on their thread titled "Stop the Split for Derby". From the original post on the thread, "the emotional arguments against I think are already won". Has their chairman really convinced them that Wycombe "won" against us? What exactly were they winning??! There is one sound Wycombe supporter at least: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ram@Lincoln Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 For "just" £1000 plus vat, four guests can enjoy hospitality in the boardroom at Wycombe. "You will dine alongside the directors of both home and away clubs." For those with a bit of cash you can go ask their chairman all the questions. ? https://www.wwfc.com/commercial/hospitality/boardroom/ jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mucker1884 Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Maybe there is no spite in this after all. ?♂️ Looks like their little experiment with mixing up the fans hasn't been well received by the Wycombe massive, and there's grumbling afoot. Seems they've only tried it against Ipswich & Wendies, and the latter appears to have been a bit too much for the home fans, what with queues for the pies and pissers, and it all being a bit too loud for them! Some of them didn't even make it home in time for tea! Fair comments (in response to a post by a Rams fan) on their forum... Quote SWFC only had 2572 at ours on Saturday. There were some untaken seats in the portion of our Family Stand allocated to them . The Family Stand is the lower tier of our biggest stand. There were Wycombe supporters with young children who moved to less appropriate parts of our ground or didn't come on Saturday. I am sure that you can understand it would be undesirable to split the upper tier and have opposition fans above our Family Stand whoever the opposition would be. Our new owners have always been keen on the Match Day experience, and there are some seats in the ground for home supporters that it is necessary to walk 4 / 5 ths of the way round the ground to reach and leave those seats, if those stands have a split allocation. The queues for various facilities were greater than I have ever known on Saturday. We were very close to selling out the remaining areas of our ground to our own fans. This despite the weather and the bad experiences of some of our fans on the first occasion against Ipswich when we split the two stands to sell additional seats to opposition supporters. We had more than 5700 Wycombe supporters in the ground for the game against SWFC and that number has been recently rising steadily. I can't think of any club in the country who would sell seats to opposition supporters and turn away their own supporters or even run the risk of turning away their own supporters. That is not a courtesy, that's rolling over to have your tummy tickled. I reckon that we tried to increase the away allocation as an experiment, and from the point of view of our supporters it certainly wasn't an unalloyed success. It may well have been that if our home games against SWFC and DCFC had come in the reverse order, Derby fans would have been offered the additional seats and Sheffield Wednesday fans would not have been given the opportunity. I am sure that there is every chance that if we are play-off contenders towards the end of the season we won't be splitting our stands to increase the allocation for away supporters. I think our club has acted sensibly and without prejudice in this matter. I am sure that Derby will return to at least the Championship at some stage. As you say, whatever happens, enjoy your season.

MadAmster Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 It also seems that some families who usually use the Family Stand at a cost of £56 for man, wife and 2 kids were having to fork out around £90 in the other part of the stand. Many complaints received. Us not getting the extra is perfectly understandable under the circumstances. jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booo, your balanced and well informed post has made me feel bad for calling them a rude word now! Seems it is a sensible step on their part, they have to look after their own fans and interests first as we would expect our club to do for us. I do like the idea of it being used as a motivator by Warne, I want to keep this momentum and if it coincides with us beating Wycombe comfortably at their home ground then that’s a bonus Edited January 16, 2023 by Caerphilly Ram Reggie Greenwood, Steve How Hard? and MadAmster 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grumpy Git Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Similar thing happened at Shrewsbury too. A load of youths came in late (after KO) and just stood in the aisle/on the steps in front of me. The stewards just shrugged their shoulders and did nowt.
