Another tough one given the injuries we have, but what I will say is that Serj and the lads seem to be finding ways this season to overcome these obstacles.. so far so good. Soak up the pressure, hit em on the break, be clinical. It's worked so far.
Anyone got any suggestions for parking near the ground. Don't mind a bit of a walk. It gets you away from the traffic for the trip back
Alvaston Park, about 10 minute walk along the river, free and straight out after the game. Just don’t be too late because it fills up.
Went to the Baseball Ground in 84, sat with the city casuals in the old wooden seats, great stadium, great season, the home game in 85 was one of the best atmospheres I saw at BP, pitch invasion etc, great memories.
Cheers bud. I think we might be pushing on as we dont leave Brough till 5pm and the a38 will be a nightmare
Surprising they did so badly under Sellés, I mean after we sacked him for being rubbish he immediately got a job with a better team. A better team proven by the fact that they finished higher in the league than us last season.
The BBG was in an area of housing that made some of the rough streets off the old Hessle Road look like Hampstead. I went there with a mate to watch Liverpool in the day of Dalglish et al. Must of being late 80s. Coming out the cops kettled the Liverpool fans heading towards the Railway station into a narrow walkway in-between terraced houses....Some Derby must have got into the backs of the houses and started to lob bricks over the wall. I've never seen anything like it. These tough, hard Scousers who were giving it large five mins before, bottled it and headed back in a panic, causing a minor stampede. The cops, being the cops, kind of looked on. A bloke at the front of the scousers copped a brick to the nogging and he was out sparko.
I'd say the Derby Lunatic Fringe DLF was on a par with us mid 80's, their mob got ran from BP down to fiveways in 85, photos of this fracas, courtesy of Dill, still surface on hooligan social media.
