To clarify, I''m a Norwich fan and not a Derby fan [I appreciate "1st post" suspicions]. Regardless, this is not a matter of who supports who, or which team charges what. This is a campaign that simply, every supporter up and down the country should fully get behind. Everybody knows the prices of watching football abroad, especially German football, thanks to heavy media coverage in recent seasons. A £40 ticket should be reserved for a special occasion match, e.g. play-off game, semi-final cup game, etc. We are lucky to have the season-ticket base that we do, but for the casual fan/exiled fans/away fans, it''s just sadly become too expensive to follow your team.

Derby County will be holding a peaceful protest on the day of the game outside the main stand at 2:15pm. The protest will be held to highlight the ever-growing cost of football, highlighted by the £40 being charged for the away fans [and indeed the home fans too] for a second-tier match. The protest will be supported by the ''twenty''s plenty'' campaign with leaflets and banners distributed. Although being organised by DCFC fans, this is a campaign that all supporters should unite together. It would be great for us [Norwich fans] to join in together with the Derby supporters on this issue. £40 for a normal league match in the second tier is simply too much. Time for a stand.
