I'm not drunk, it's not my birthday. I'm going for a repeat of the away leg of the play-offs Derby C 0-3 Hull C.
Arboretum Park in Derby was the public first in England and inspired New York City’s Central Park. The silk mill was the first factory in the world. The world's first package holiday was a Thomas Cook trip from Leicester to Loughborough. Lara Croft was created in Derby. It is the home of the first purpose built Basketball Arena in the UK. Until it received City status in 1977, Derby had been one of the few towns in England with a cathedral but not city status.
Fun fact. There’s a Greggs at the stadium. Even funner fact. They sell the vegan sausage rolls. Fill yer boots lads and ladesses.
Of the 22 predictions received. 5 go for a fun day out and a City win 9 go for a decent point 8 go for a defeat. A draw is marginal favourite. Seems like the decent value punt.
2-0 City. Don’t let Harry Wilson have a shot from outside the area. He’s won Derby’s goal of the month competition every bastard month.
Pride Park has some weird force field about 20/25 yards out from the goals - it seems to drop their players with alarming regularity
Baseball Ground (used to go there as a student in the early 90s), basketball.. come on, was Derby founded by Americans?
