I think they will soon open up all the seats not usually on sale like block H in the west stand and the 4 blocks nearest the away fans in the East Fantastic effort! I’m guessing with the safety restrictions that’ll be 31k. 🐏 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott129 Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 I'm sure it will be with it being first game of the season, but I hope the atmosphere's actually good. I feel like when we've had some of the bigger crowds recently, it's seemed a bit flatter than usual. jimtastic56, Rammy03 and Eoghan1884 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerry Daly Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 I don’t think it will be over 31K because Wigan won’t sell all theirs and a lot of our season ticket holders will be away on holiday. Still amazing though. We HAVE to deliver. It will set the tone for the season and those people will keep coming back Derby4Me and Rammy03 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ram59 Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 We got to the 31k against Oxford last season, but Oxford sold out their allocation and Wigan are around 1k short. Added to this, there now seems to be a reluctance from the club to sell match tickets in the 4 blocks closest to the away fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Late deciders might well be reluctant to sit close to the away fans, whereas some Derby fans might very much enjoy the prospect and buy these tickets early, allowing others to buy late and still sit further away.

I don't actually know, but if I was guessing, I'd imagine supporters in these blocks automatically requires more stewards. So, financially, makes less sense to sell these first.

I can't remember the full details, but weren't there 'issues' with some fans in this area, which has been alleviated by restricting further sales in those blocks? If this is the case, I can see the club's point of view and hopefully those causing the issues have already got tickets in the south stand where their behaviour is more tolerated. Any late sales in that area will be by the more 'casual' supporter who hopefully won't get too over excited and cause any disruption.🤞 Carl Sagan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The full allocation for Wigan is 2,681 and they had already sold over 2,000 when they went on general sale on the 27th of July, so I don’t imagine they will be far short of selling out. As I said previously I think they will open up those 4 blocks anytime soon but there isn’t many spare seats in there, 2 of them being next to me. The amount of season ticket holders on holiday is the unknown factor, but I think we can safely say it will be the highest attendance in the whole of the football league on the day.

Probably correct but if we include the Friday night fixture we might have to settle for second place. Just looked at Sunday's fixtures. All three Championship games have the potential for a higher gate (with Leeds an odds on certainty). Edited August 2, 2023 by Yoxoram Additional information. Spelling correction.

Yoxoram Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 I'm up for 'A Little Respect'. It seems in keeping with what the authorities are trying to bring into football. End of seriousness, I just love the song and remember dancing to it in the late 1980s. I'm up for it but is the rest of the South Stand.

I've noticed that a few individual tickets have suddenly become available in blocks previously sold out, I wonder if we've got to a stage whereby season ticket holders who can't attend have been able to let the club sell their seats and get a partial refund?

Warren Blufitt Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 Just a little good news for you about the Pies, they’ve just lost Whatmough one of their best defenders to Preston on a 3 year contract so that should make things even easier for you? I think it will be Wanderers, You and Pompey fighting for the automatics as I can’t see any others that are enormously threatening although there’s usually one surprise. Barnsley are in a bit of a mess, lost several big players and replaced them from the National League and there’s now talk that Norwood rejected Wrexham and settled for Oldham. I still think Reading are in for points deductions, as I believe will Barnsley all of which will make things much easier. Anyway my hatred of the Pies knows no bounds so please give them a good pasting on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foreveram Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 They have now added 90 tickets in block H in the West stand plus a few other areas, there is only now the two blocks next to the away fans. 845 tickets now available. Must be 30,000 plus now. Tamworthram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
