I saw on Facebook that Derby are exclusively streaming today’s game on their own tv channel.
I think someone said it costs £5 to register, but I haven’t checked that out.
 
I am going to the game today as it’s only 5 miles away. Makes a change to my normal 150 miles trip to see Saints play. Anybody else going?
 
I once went to see Troyes play Dijon in a second tier league match one Friday evening. This was probably about 6 years ago. It was a terrible game of football, both teams bordering on incompetent. There was hardly any atmosphere except for a group of "ultras" trying to drum up support within a 1/3 rd full stadium. Given what was happening on this pitch, this was extremely incongruous. Neither team seemed to have grasped that the principle of football was to put the ball in the back of the net. The ultimate goal scored by an ESTAC forward from Brazil was a comedic deflection if my memory served me correctly.

Were Dijon one of the French teams who once flirted with a female manager ?
