Match Day Thread: Derby v Huddersfield

[ramAnag]

No figure reported anywhere that I can find. Having communicated with a few friends who were there I have been told the following:

Technical problems with the barcode scanners which led to them opening the gates and letting through people waving a ticket so they simply don't know how many.

Those who gave an estimate guessed at between 18K and 20K. I had forecast less than 20K.

Possible reasons?
1. the ongoing off field issues the club has have turned some/a lot people off
2. the opening home games of a Rams season tend to be lower than our average due to:
a) those still playing local cricket
b) all those away on holiday
3. some will have simply lost the habit
4. some won't go until a sale of the club is completed

The gate is exactly what I expected. There will be those who will amuse themselves by mocking us. Let them.

It will be interesting to see how other gates stack up against the usual averages in the EFL.

5. Ongoing fears relating to Covid and crowds.

I parked at the City Ground on Friday, Tricky. Interesting...like an episode from ‘How we used to Live’...quaint really. Still at least you know who owns the place.

Of course I know who owns the place and who owns the land it is leased on.
Do you/or will you know with Direby?

Oh dear...that was my point. I was just being a bit ‘tongue in cheek’...some obviously fell on stony ground...never mind.
