As I couldnt go to the original Derby game I sold my ticket, and despite assurances to the contrary given to Mrs27 i just had to go last night. I paid to go in the Grange End, as part of my watch a game from everywhere in the last season campaign. What a great place to watch football from, I had forgotten quite how good the view is, only problem being it does seem to be populated by some sort of differnt race to that which I am used to. I did however discover that its where all the best totty watches the game from!!
If all goes to plan tomorrow will be the only game i will miss between now and the end of season. 90 minutes in Charlton is gonna turn into 48 hours in London.So, who's going to the match tomorrow?

Still trying not to dream the impossible dream, but it is starting to get a little bit exciting. Aim to make the most of it cos if we dont go up we are going to lose our best players... if we do go up we aint going to be top six this time next year ... so things dont get any better than this (then again, i said that when were top of the table for 15 weeks ..... and when we were in the FA Cup)
Innit.
I hate the fans that say, we dont want to go up because we will get stuffed every week!!!ffs, what are we competing for then. If you think it cant get better than this I'll wager that getting stuffed by Man Utd,Arsenal and Chelski will be better!
Ok if we go up we'll prob only get one year of it, but was talking to a WBA fan the other day and I asked him if he had known they were gonna be humiliated this season would he still have wanted to go up.He said it was a no brainer, you have to be there!
I said we would not be top six, but i didn't say we would be back down top seven i reckon
Dont mind losing a few games, i am more concerned about the bun fight for away tickets every week, could do with out all that. A nice problem to have though.
Fortunately by virtue of having a Premier seat I am guaranteed an away ticket every game!!

Is this a misguided attempt at 'humour'?I am. And I am going with a bag full of 50 pence pieces.
i can see now why you think the grange end is...
You know I meant that in jest, and anymore jibes at me and I wont be offering to secure a precious away ticket for ya!!
You may consider the jibes over Mr (or Mrs/Ms) 1927.
Let's just hope that the tickets are precious next season ..... presumably there will be some sort of points system based on number of away games attended. I have done alright this season due to the number of times i have travelled, but if we go up i suspect will also have to give up any other social activity which involves spending money, including eating.
I understand, but dont agree, that Premier seat holders get priority for away tickets, whcih is going to wreck the atmosphere at away games as there will be high proportion of prawn sarnie eaters. I will do my best to help out with tickets for people that want them as I got access to four Premier seats.
well..... This season we have 14,000 ambassadors that get preference for away tickets but when i go away i see a hardcore of usual suspects everywhere, the vast majority of those 14,000 never go away. I dont think the Premier seating preference thing will make much difference if we stay where we are, but will obviously have an increased impact if we go up. Wont be the end of the world though (says he with fingers crossed).
How many Premier seats are there?
The ref is doing a terrible job. Johnson's injury looked really serious - I've never seen a player look so terrified.
It looks like Palace's plan is to kick us off the park and with today's ref they'll probably get away with it.
