Gingerpele 0 Posted December 20, 2014 I was annoyed when I found out at HT it was on TV as an early kick off via a couple facebook posts. Can''t imagine actually having tickets and being on the way not realising! You must be proper gutted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ginja 26 Posted December 20, 2014 Completely gutted morty, can''t believe my own stupidity, a lesson in always check the ko time, never assume...The hardest part is knowing we played well and missed a last minute goal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Budapest Canary 152 Posted December 20, 2014 Tough...I made the same mistake today, albeit without ticket. Sat in from of my computer at usual kick off time (4 pm over here) to search for streams streams, wondering why were we the only side whose game was not on... :) (As I have got my tickets for against Milwall on Boxing Day, I triple checked: it kicks of at THREE.)

Windy Canary 0 Posted December 20, 2014 Snap!! I am staying up in Chester working at the moment! I called the Derby box office at 9am to see if I could buy a ticket on the door. Finished my breakfast and made my way over!! I got to the ground and I could hear the crowd! Went onto my sky sports App then seen it was a 12:15 kick off!! so got back in my car and headed off!! Then it dawned on me.... I could of just stayed in my hotel room and watched it on the TV!! Gutted is not the word!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peter-plastic 0 Posted December 20, 2014 Ginja, so where were you when you finally realised (I guess at HT)? did you consider a mad dash to the ground at all? could you have caught the final few minutes? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ginja 26 Posted December 20, 2014 I was just coming round the Nottingham ringroad to pick up my Dad when Five Live said Derby had taken the lead! I couldn''t believe what I was hearing! Dad couldn''t believe it either when I told him what had happened.Sadly it''s about a 30min drive from where we were, by the time we''d get parked and run to the ground it would have all been over!

Ginja 26 Posted December 20, 2014 [quote user="jas the barclay king"]not being funny but isn''t the time on the front of the ticket?[/quote]It is indeed, in big bold letters saying 12:15, no idea how I missed it, think I was more interested in what row and seat we''d got.
