Nothing wrong with the atmosphere at the KC today v Derby. 2,500 away fans and you never heard a peep all day. Pleased for all those making their first visit back for a while and for the kids going for the first time. As close to the old days as your going to get. Loved it.
Derby used to have a vocal following. The Baseball Ground had a great atmosphere, better than stadiums that held thousands more. Changing times. Just been reading about a Southampton fan now living and working in Somerset who drove for 4 hours to give his young son his first experience of his dad’s club playing against Leicester last night.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/50192467 Ironic really, all things considered. His dad's club are playing Man Utd tomorrow (second paragraph below laddies picture).
I’m just surprised they found a stadium big enough to accommodate these galacticos. A battle of the egos.
What a load of Pooh ... “It is more fun to talk with someone who doesn’t use long, difficult words but rather short, easy words like, “What about lunch?”
You would hope many kids attending for the first time would have been hooked for life after yesterday . Gotta be better than a local RL team crashing to a heavy home defeat against an M62 pit village with 150 fans in front of a despondent home crowd.
