Season Tickets

Recommended Posts

Got a random idea.. Post how many years you've had a ST, why you got one in the first place/How you got one.. Which stands. best moments.. Maybe pictures of what they looked like.. Thought it would be nice to share..

Right me first...

I had one in 01-02 and 02-03 i got them both for my Birthday and they were in the West Stand. I'm planning on getting one next season to celebrate it being Ten Years since my first 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':D' />

First one in Normanton Lower (key club) in 88/89 I think, many memories of standing on my milk crate! A few games which come to mind Rams 2 Forest 1, Rams 2 Port Vale 3, Rams 1 Liverpool 7, Rams 3 Sheffield Wednesday.

Moved to Co-Op stand around 93/94ish only match which comes to mind from them days was losing to Forest when Gary Charles scored an own goal.

Finally moved to Popside when my parents deemed it safe for me around 95/96 the one match which sticks out in my mind was beating Coventry 3-2 in the FA Cup.

Been an East Stander since Pride Park opened, favourite match was probably when we beat Arsenal 3-0 (although I stood to win a big amount if we won 4-0 and I think Trollope missed a one on one with about 5 minutes left!)

I've had mine for 7 years I think, so 05-06?

Best moments were definitely 1-0 against forest (Hulse) the 3-0 against forest and the 4-2 win. Just because it was forest 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' />

Also when we beat Crewe 5-1 and Idiakez got a freekick for a pass- back so had a free kick from like 10 yards out, and just smashed it in.

Got mine for getting 3 x 5's in my S.A.T.S and my mum asked me what i wanted and i said a season ticket for jokes and I got one! My dad wasn't to pleased having to fork out £500+ and spent the whole time in the queue lecturing me about how annoyed he was and every time since he's the ones begging for a renewal 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':P' /> Started sitting in the North-East corner, then sat in West stand lower for three seasons and just moved up to west stand upper, right next to the directors box.

1st ST was 1973-74 then right up to 1983-84, hardly missed an away game during this period either, (got married 83 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':(' /> , kids, no cash). Always Vulcan Street Popside, but in those days you could pay on the day in other areas. We sometimes had to go and help the soft lads in the Ossie out 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' /> 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':P' /> .

Never stopped going but never had a ST until 1st season at PP. Conned the missus by missing some home games so I could go loads of away games during this period. 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':rolleyes:' />

Had a ST at PP since it opened.

1997 Pride Park, North Stand upper nr East Stand corner.

2001 moved to East Stand upper near South Stand corner.

Too many favourite memories to mention here.....

Got a half season ticket midway through the 08/09 season, after going to a match with a Derby supporting mate and loving it. Bought a season ticket for the season after and had one since. Always sat in South Stand upper, right near the away lot.

Best moment, probably beating Leeds 2-1 last season. Worst, either the loss to Forest, or the t-shirts game against QPR on the TV. I'll keep getting one for as long as I can afford it.

Thats the way to support a team 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

you're not being sarcastic, are you? haha. i always get some stick for not supporting them in a traditional way

No not at all mate 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />.. it's great to see you tagging along with you're mate and loving it so much you wanted to get a season ticket.. It means you really adore the team.. and since i live in Sheffield and pretty much no-one here supports DCFC... it's nice to have someone round here who does haha 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' />

Started on the Popside in 1994-95. We started going as a small group of lads from school.

Best home game- Getting promoted to the Prem after beating Palace. The celebration of Van der Laans goal was stunning I ended up four rows away from my seat. Epic!

Best away game- beating Manure at OT 3-2, back in the days when we played to win.

As for the worst game- Any during that Prem relegation season or any of the recent cup games where we have lost to lower league opposition.

I am glad I got to grow up watching a Derby side that played some stunning football with players like Stimac, Baiano, Eranio, Wanchope, McGrath, Asanovic etc.

First season ticket without my dad was first season at pp, think I was 15/16 but before that used to sit in normanton middle with him my mate n my mates dad... Used to live for the moment when they used to sing.... Come on derby come on derby... Though sometimes my step dad used to sneak me n a now established pro footballer into the poolside as he was a steward on the gate n I used to stand with my uncle when I could so my lil bro could go to the game instead of me on that ticket!!

Best home win is prob the 3-0 v arsenal who I think won the league that first pp season ( wright missed a pen)

We go on about derbys poor atmosphere and them days when the away team were central in the south stand pp used to rock most weeks!!

Best away day win is poss man u 3-2 or forest 3-2 cup game

Though my best away DAY is prob palace away last season, all day bender in London and finding a £250 jacket that I flogged on eBay for a ton!!

But was just a great fun day

Worst away games are usually Leicester, maybe cos they really build up the rivallry with us then that stupid police frogmarch from pub opposite the station to the crisp bowl ( always need a slash during that walk) just to get into the ground to remember exactly why we don't care about them!! Boring team, boring fans, boring!!

Another poor place is cov and reading, though reading when we lost 4-1 and sav went in goal was one of best away days for singing!! Was that pissed that for about 5 weeks after I thought we had lost 5-1

My first season ticket was 2003/2004 looking at the fixtures, had a couple of years in East Stand lower tier, then moved to East Stand corner for another couple before eventually moving to South Stand in the prem season, and been their since!

I went a lot before I had a season ticket, although saying that didn't have one last year... other things took priority!

Wasn't too many best moments, although the 4-2 win over Forest was obviously high on the list and then beating Millwall 2-0 at home last day of the season which included a pitch invasion and 'we're staying up' chants! great feeling!
