FA Cup tickets go on sale

Young fans can roar on the Rams for just £5 when Wigan visit Pride Park in
the FA Cup on Saturday 8 January.
All supporters aged 16 and under can claim a seat for £5 - with discounted
prices also available to season ticket holders.
Non-season ticket holder adult tickets are £18, with tickets priced at £10
for concessions. Season ticket holders can watch the action at the
discounted price of £16 (adults) and £9 (concessions).
Tickets for the match (3pm kick-off) go on sale from 9am tomorrow
(Wednesday).
Rams operations director Paul Clouting said: "After a busy Christmas
campaign we have five home games in the space of a month during January -
including the third round cup tie - and we have taken this into account when
setting ticket prices. We wanted to reward our season ticket holders and
this is an appropriate way of recognising their commitment.
"We also want as many youngsters as possible to join us at Pride Park for
the launch of our FA Cup campaign and we hope our £5 tickets will encourage
them to do so."
Season ticket holders have until Thursday 23 December to claim their current
seat before all seats become available for general sale.
In the event of a replay, the Rams will travel to the JJB Stadium on Tuesday
18 January (8pm).

FA Youth Cup draw.

Terry Westley's Academy team will meet either Sheffield United or Millwall
in the fourth round of the FA Youth Cup.
The young Rams side, which thrashed Grimsby Town 4-0 in a third round Pride
Park tie last week, will once again be at home. The Blades and the Lions
meet play out their third round match in Sheffield tomorrow night
(Wednesday).
The fourth round clash will take place in the week ending Sunday 23 January.

Derby County reserves fought out a 1 – 1 draw against Ipswich last night at Pride Park. Steve Taylor’s men took the lead with 5 minutes on the clock but could not hold onto the lead.

The result leaves the Rams still in bottom place in The FA Reserve league South.
