I hope we hammer Burton and I hope they go down. Should never have been allowed in the league with s ground holding less than 10000. 1st time in years I wasn't able to get a ticket for an away game. Sold out before season ticket holders got a chance. Yet they have add to beg for home fans to buy tickets. Wish we were playing Milwall away this weekend instead Backo

Other teams have invested in their ground before squad and as a result are in league 1 instead of the championship. For example Chesterfield who has it happens are in Derbyshire and not Staffordshire yet Radio Derby don't care about them.

What minimum capacity would you put on a Premiership ground ?
I think Bournemouth may struggle to meet it, Griff

The powers that be don't care: for them, football is a global commodity to be touted, traded, and hawked to the highest bidder. The days of crowd numbers representing a significant revenue stream are all but gone.

Bournemouth spent £30m this year.

I said the same thing about B'muff, it's not fair on teams that invest on their grounds before squads and it's not fair on fans that go to a lot of away games who can't get tickets for an away game because of limited tickets, tbf to B'muff always got a ticket when Derby were there without any issues. Away tickets for Burton didn't even go on sale to season ticket holders. Members Got 1st pick, members who don't have to go to any other games but because they paid £50 to be a member got 1st choice, I think that is disgraceful by Derby County,

I wonder why 666 gets so het-up. He never goes to matches anyway. So what does it matter whether he can get in the ground or not. He won't even try to get in.

Burton Albion (I hope they lose tomorrow) are a typical small club trying to make their way up the football league. I wish them every success, far more so than Chelsea. MU, MC Arsenal, Liverpool or Spurs. Burton every time for me. Except for tomorrow that is.

So do I Griff. Ita ripping off away fans making them pay an extra £50 for the privilege of going to Burton.

It would be expensive for both me and my lad to become members, when we've never struggled for tickets before.

Griff, it's £39 if you're a STH ...

A lot of money I know (for 2) but if you look at it in perspective on what you must spend on away trips/benders!

Still a con by the club tho baz. I think it's £50 to non season ticket holders.there is no reason for the club to do it.

Cheaper than getting Ryanir to print-out your boarding pass at the airport then, (£40).

I'm 44: round my middle

Burton stinks. NLN stinks. Their ground could barely contain our recent influx of gloryhunter booboys like Backo et al... Spend some fcking money on your ground you cheap tw ats, instead of spending it all on NLN's mates' contracts.

Fck Burton.

The ticket sales never even reached ST holder's who had been to 10 or more away games last season because of this away membership malarkey. So that shows you how many have bought this away con pass. I know one lad who has bought one that never went to one away game last season. He will be at Burton. I have no feelings for Burton Albion whatsoever. I remember when I was playing a couple of years back they don't even play in the Derbyshire Senior Cup. The play in the Birmingham version. Yet Radio Derby cover them. Hope we win 90-0 tonight.

I think Radio Derby got it totally wrong when they broadcast the Burton/Liverpool game on Tuesday instead of the Derby game. I suppose the commentators fancied watching Liverpool and to hang with the Derby fans.

They also have it wrong on normal match days by not segregating the Derby and the Burton games. I have not the slightest interest in hearing about Burton and by broadcasting such information Radio Derby turn what is already a very boring, repetitive format into an IRRELEVANT, boring and repetitive programme.
I think it's not worth listening to. They should broadcast Burton stuff on AM and Derby stuff on FM

But why shouldn't they have been given precedence on Tuesday? Burton is in the RD area, always has been.
Burton v Liverpool was a far bigger game than ours v Carlisle.
Don't get me wrong, I don't much care about them either and hope we thrash them tonight but some Derby fans are so arrogant if I were NC I would pin a few screen shots of these type of posts up on the dressing room wall.
They are in the same division as us now and on an equal footing whether we like that or not.

What is our allocation tonight?

Chris...how many Derby fans are there to Burton fans? There is no way ever that should happen. Derby's fanbase is far superior to Burton's. Derby have a fanbase that don't go to the matches that far exceeds anything Burton have. So don't BBC Radio Derby bother about listening figures? The grounds holds 6,000 and they are struggling to fill it tonight. This Championship will soon eat them alive.

Shentini...1,500 mate.

My quarrel is absolutely not with Burton Albion. It's with RD. They have the facility to use AM for Burton and FM for Derby. They should do it. No skin off anybody's nose. Except they would struggle to make the AM programme interesting.

Not sure he comes on these boards to be fair....

I don't know what the problem is, the Rams match was on 104.5 FM with Ed and Craig. The 1116AM and Digital was the Burton match with Owen.

I've not said this before,,,,,,,,,,,,,but I agree with chris
