Reggie Strayshun 0 Posted January 12, 2015 Watching the extended highlights of this game on the Football League Show ...(I felt dirty afterwards, but there we are), I was struck on the acres of empty space in the stands at the Portaloo.OK, it was an early match, and on live TV, but nonetheless it was a meeting on a pretty nice day of two of the top 3 in the Championship . A win for either could have put them top or top equal. Dammit we even did them a favour by beating the other top 3 team! Yet this potentially mouthwatering prospect attracted a crowd of just over 20,000 . That , in a stadium that can comfortably house 30,000.Contrast that with the 26000 at Carrow Rd for a woeful display versus a struggling Reading in November.

Crabbycanary3 994 Posted January 12, 2015 According to a Binner mate of mine, who went, that there were cheap tickets as well, yet they still can''t fill it. Btw, I haven''t heard back from him since after 5 p.m Saturday................................................... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Juler 151 Posted January 12, 2015 Also a poor turnout from Derby. I''m sure we''d take a lot more than 800 to a lunchtime away game live on Sky. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Jenkins 0 Posted January 12, 2015 As a group of fans, if that''s the correct word, they seem very nervous about their position in the league, it''s good news cos that sort of feeling in the crowd can soon affect the players confidence. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
morty 0 Posted January 12, 2015 Agree Jenkins, its like they know they are over achieving, and the bubble will burst any minute. And they know full well the top teams will strengthen in January, whereas I doubt they will. In fact its more likely that they will lose players. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
