Derby Away 17th March
Cheap East Mids train tickets went on sale today, so I've booked up for this one. I fully expect Sky to ruin my plans though.

Another reason to hold back is this weekend is FA Cup Quarter final weekend. 😀

Re: Derby Away 17th March
Sky have not picked a Saturday evening game yet, and I think our game is favourite.
I don’t mind if it’s picked, just wish they would make a decision, So we can book train tickets. 🚂🍻🥧

Re: Derby Away 17th March
Yes I thought this as soon as I booked, but Derby seem to be on quite a bit around this time so maybe they'll go for QPR - Fulham, or maybe waiting for Leeds v Sheffield Weds depending on FA Cup. We'll probably need the Jacks to do us a favour for that one to happen.

I think of the two games you’ve mentioned, QPR v Fulham may be favourite (after our game) as I don’t think West Yorkshire’s finest will allow the Leeds v Sheffield Wednesday game at 5:30 on a Saturday.

Re: Derby Away 17th March
Just been announced that this game has been moved, and it’s worse than I thought;
Derby County vs. Cardiff City has been selected for live Sky Sports coverage.
The Bluebirds will now face the Rams on Sunday, 18th March 2018 - 12pm kick-off at Pride Park.
This fixture was originally scheduled to take place at 3pm on Saturday, 17th March 2018.
Ticket information, and further details, will be announced in due course.

FFS! Was expecting the Saturday 5:30 but this really is taking the piss.

Re: Derby Away 17th March
I’ve just checked the National Rail website and there are no trains that get into Derby from London on a Sunday morning.
This must be are most disruptive season we’ve ever had.
Two options, go up Saturday and stay in a hotel, or drive?

Re: Derby Away 17th March
The Mrs and I are going out on the Saturday night - so going up the night before is a non starter for me. I'd like a lift please if anyone is willing to drive.
Put the Mrs off until Sunday night ?
Telly for me I'm sorry to say.
