redapple Posted January 12, 2018 Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 We played them on a Saturday last season (well, we did for 45 minutes) . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnowleUtd City Posted January 12, 2018 Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 Really need to take a good number up to this, the lads deserve the support, I know that being on TV on a Friday night will put people off, but a big effort is needed for such a huge game in the season!

Hampshire Red Posted January 13, 2018 Report Share Posted January 13, 2018 Agree, i think it's weird we take 8000 to an event and will be under 1000 to a match that really matters. The players said the support at Man C helped them so they dont need to tell us what looking up at thousands of empty seats in the away section will do to them. I know there's a lot og games and each one isnt for free but we have never had a better team challenging for the Premier league so, just make the journey and let's measure our growth as a club in more ways than a Craboooo cup run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonBristolian Posted January 13, 2018 Report Share Posted January 13, 2018 I was going to go until it got moved to the Friday. Not free that night unfortunately - suspect others may be the same. Surely we’ll muster up 800-1000 though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reading Red UTC Posted January 13, 2018 Report Share Posted January 13, 2018 I was just thinking the other day about how all the Derby fans are going to make comments about our away support next week It’ll be around the 500 mark anything more would be a great effort. Falls before January payday, combine Xmas/new year with all the extra expenses needed for our league cup adventures results in the option to watch it on TV being the most sensible. Also, many won’t be able to get there in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFC1512 Posted January 13, 2018 Report Share Posted January 13, 2018 With the position we are in makes you wonder why the club don’t put on free coaches to this and Bolton! Apart from villa a large following can make such a difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBFC II Posted January 13, 2018 Report Share Posted January 13, 2018 We've sold 375 so far looking at the website, you'd hope for 1k but I can't see it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1960maaan Posted January 13, 2018 Report Share Posted January 13, 2018 This has turned into e real pain. Had train tickets, and is costing almost as much again to move them for the Burton game, and we have no guarantee of tickets. I had to take 2 days holiday for Man City and it would be another to get to Derby, just haven't got the days to use. Fair play to anyone who goes. Same for Bolton, Leeds and even Cardiff is going to be difficult for me now. Bloody Sky ! Yes I'm a hypocrite , I have Sky/BT but it's still annoying . Catch 22 , the team does well so it's more enjoyable to go, but Sky pick up on our good form and all of a sudden we're the new Leeds ! On TV more than the bloody adverts !

Dubliner Posted January 13, 2018 Report Share Posted January 13, 2018 I was going before it was moved, have flights booked for the Friday night (as I'm now based in Ireland) so I won't even be able to watch on TV! I imagine quite a few plans were scuppered by fixture being moved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chalky Posted January 15, 2018 Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 About 450 tickets sold looking online.. Should be around 800. Presume it will be POTD for us? Looking forward to me first trip to Pride park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestMidsRed Posted January 15, 2018 Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 Also looking forward to my first trip to Pride Park. Nice easy journey down the A50 for me and pardon my Welsh, but I hope we do the Rams well and proper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wendyredredrobin Posted January 15, 2018 Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 We would take more on a Saturday, but it's a bit of a drive in rush hour traffic after a days work. I will be watching this one on Sky. Being so close to Christmas and after a run of games, there will be a few strapped for cash as well. We need a result from this one so badly now.

ZiderEyed Posted January 15, 2018 Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 Would've gone if it was on a Saturday. Sky can get it right up themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had about 8-900 up there last season which was pretty good as we’d just suffered the worst run of results in our history. I’ve got no doubt we would’ve taken more this season on a Saturday but SKY have pissed that possibility up against the wall. Gutted, due to work commitments on Friday I won’t know if I can go until lunchtime on the day so hopefully we’ll have POTD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This may have been mentioned before (apologies if it has), but this is the type of game (rearranged at shortish notice, on TV, difficult to get to for fans with regular working hours, coming after a hectic period of games) where the club could subsidise travel and/or tickets for fans - if it believes the support can count as an extra man.

Can't think of a precedent. Would obviously be great to see, though personally would rather see that happen for another game. I get the idea the club could offer people a hundred quid to go up to derby and we still wouldn't shift that many people up there due to the friday factor / sky sports. Would be great to happen for a more remote saturday game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
