Derby Tuesday 18th July at the KM

good shout the home fixtures are naturally structured for th £-s-d

so Theresa Green Forest look like the next one ...

after that Newcastle game someone will have to do a Health and Safety "risk assessment" of all the opponents players  :boxing: :boxing: :boxing:

Think I will have a bit of that, subject to it being reasonably priced that is.

Looks like a half first team game!!! Shocking😣 Why have we agreed to that😠

On Tuesday 18th July, the Rams will take part in two friendly games on the same evening. One group of first-team squad members will head to Sky Bet League 2 side Port Vale, while another will visit Sky Bet League 1 newcomers Doncaster Rovers (both 7:45pm)

They will have about 30 players in their first team squad. Does it even matter who we play? It's all part of a preparation process.

Does that matter?  Its a practice match after all..

What would you want to see a full strength derby side or half a team when you are paying your money!!! Think about it 😂😂😂

I would never go to a practice match against a higher division side with any expectation that their "stars" will all play.  They will want to try out their squad players too..

To be honest, I pay my money to watch Doncaster Rovers, not the opponents!

Cannot see the Rovers playing their first team for the full 90 minutes, but it should give us an idea of how things are going and hopefully a look at the new signings. But I will still go as long as it's reasonably priced.

Pre-season is about our players gelling together and getting match fitness levels back, not us fans having a w*nk over some top half Championship clubs players.

I will start with guess the crowd at the KMS

Under 3000 with about 2333 with 333 comming from derby.

I won't travel 40 odd miles whoever we play.
I have done loads in the past but now think that it isn't worth the effort.

I always thought it wouldn't hurt to offer a free friendly ticket with a season ticket. It may even make some money with the food and programme sales etc.

It's not going to hurt or cost the club anything to give away free tickets for all pre season games  to anyone that buys a season ticket .

We're fa cup  home games at BV not handed out to season ticket holders via a voucher they had in the book for free?

Title: Re: Pre season friendly
Post by: idler on May 17, 2017, 05:06:22 pm
I doubt it. Cup gate money is split between the two teams and the FA.
I can't remember ever getting a voucher unless to get extra tickets.
