It makes going down for a pint or a pee much more hassle, and we have to fight our way past those season-ticket checkers lying in wait at every opportunity! But apart from that ………. 25 minutes ago, IlsonDerby said: Waist height? Are you a giraffe? safely midriff 😂 I'd be very surprised if the handrail height isn't at least similar to scaffold handrail regulations... minimum of 950mm from the deck. I challenge anyone to take a tape measure, and report back! 😁 For reference... as I'm currently DIYing, and have my tool in my hand... I've just checked my waist height... 980mm, in my crocs! 😁 Edited April 14 by Mucker1884 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still disagree with them checking tickets at the bottom of the stairs. Just leave the check for when the stairs split between upper and lower sections.

Up the rams 🐏⚽️🐏⚽️ Is there any way that it could work if the last bit of the South stand was mixed seating - open to both Derby and away supporters?

What percentage of this mixed seating would to be occupied by police and stewards. But it would certainly make for an interesting atmosphere.

We'll be back in 81 Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 I don't know why they do not reduce the away section to say two an a half thousand, its not as if it gets filled very often therefore allowing more of the south stand to Derby fans. Also the disabled section in the bottom left could be moved to the lower section of the Gordon Guthrie stand if developed into one as again that area is not used much. If rail seating is introduced then this could further add a couple of thousand more. Derby4Me and De22Ram 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bolton had an allocation of 3,154 fans which still leaves 576 seats. Is it possible these seats could be given to home fans 🤷🏻♂️ Derby4Me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rail seating does not introduce any more seats at all. The seats are the same, just a rail added. Carl Sagan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foreveram Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Rail seating does increase capacity but as as far as I am aware we have no plans to introduce it. This is not the same as the safe standing that we now have in the South stand. angieram and Crewton 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crewton Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Reduce segregation safely, nibble at the away seating areas, create a waiting list for South Stand season tickets - could all help to solve the issue. Not sure about moving the disabled section unless those using it agreed and it was practical to create one somewhere else. Bear in mind that any reduction of away seating towards the South Stand means more East Stand ST holders having to move for cup games etc, which would not be popular.

Ram@Lincoln Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Agreed on not moving the disabled section in the south stand. If moved, it's essentially saying the disabled supporters are less important than the abled bodied supporters. Disabled gets shoved away into the corner. Going to PPS on a matchday, being part of the south stand community and atmosphere might be one of the few things in their lives that's "normal" so to say. It's like saying, let's forcibly move a few rows from behind the goal, just so, and replace those supporters with other supporters. It's the same principle.

I liked the mixed stand at Fulham - if I left it too late to get in the away stand. I joined in with Derby songs, and Fulham sitting next to me sang there's. It works as natural segregation. A bit of friendly banter. No real need for police or stewards. I can't remember how the drinking worked at Fulham. I think that the mixed stand could drink with the Derby fans, which must have meant Fulham fans drinking with Derby.

jimtastic56 Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 I can remember being in the South stand on the last game of the season v Reading - only part of the ground where fans waited for the lap of appreciation. No players came out . This time , I know there will be no trophy , but let’s all stay behind for the Lap of honour.
