As we have to charge their fans the same as we charge ours, we definitely shouldn't be charging more.
I have boycotted every game since the name change and will continue to boycott so long as the Allams are owners. Does that count?
I bought two at about 20 to 9. Just happened to check and they were already on sale. I think I've done that before in fact.
From footballgroundguide.com From the M1, exit at Junction 25 and take the A52 towards Derby. The ground is signposted off the A52 after about seven miles. There are a couple of fair sized parks at the new Velodrome which is situated next to Pride Park and is convenient for the away supporters entrance, being at that end of the stadium. The cost of parking is £8 per car, or £6 if the car has four or more people in it. Kenny Lyon suggests; 'Perhaps a better place to park for all fans is the cattle market car park. This is a pay and display car park and costs £3. It is about a 15-20 minute walk from the ground and is just off the A52. To get there, go past the normal turning for the stadium and go up to the 'pentagon roundabout;' take the first turning off there and then take the next left- you then drive about 300 yards back on yourself, passingit on your left as you drive along the A52'. Pete Stump adds; 'Walking from the cattle market car park to the stadium, you will pass a KFCand a Burger King, where I noticed that matchday parking was available for £6'. Michael French a visiting Birmingham City fan informs me; 'If you take the stadium exit off the A52, then immediately on your right is Wyvern fireplace wholesalers who offer matchday parking at £6. Its only a 5-10 minute walk away from the stadium and offers a fairly swift getaway after the game'. There is also parking available at the Derby Conference Centre on the A6 London Road, which costs £5. Whilst Steve Cocker informs me; 'There is free street parking available on Downing Road on the West Meadow Industrial Estate (DE21 6HA), which is off the A52. It is then about a 10-15 minute walk to the stadium. Make sure though that you get there in plenty of time before the kick off, as the road fills up quickly.' I have received reports of a number of cars being broken into on matchday around the stadium, so it may be wise to park at one of the official car parks, or at least somewhere that is offering secure parking.
I think it shows there's a hell of alot of interest to only have 400 remaining for general sale, and for them to then sell out within minutes. We have only got 13k season pass holders afterall, many of which wont bother with away games. Even when we were in the Premier League with 5000 more season pass holders the away games always made it to general sale.
The club is so amateur its not even funny. You can still buy Derby away tickets online, despite there being a headline on the main site about them being sold out. Presumably you'd just get an email with an apology and refund but its still pretty poor.
Yes. Do not head straight down the A52 to the ground after leaving the M1. Head round the ring road and back up towards the ground from the south, there's plenty of free unrestricted parking on housing areas etc and even secure match day car parks within a stones throw from the ground, just the other side of the bridge. A 10 minute detour pre match will save you an hour afterwards, it's plain sailing and straight out from that area after the game without all the traffic jams and fans standing/walking in the middle of the road, comparable to parking around boothferry park to get away down the A63. If you park in or around the stadium from the other side, you'll be stuck there til the late hours of the evening. Getting out from the far corner of Walton street would be twice as fast in comparison.
