Match Day Thread Derby v Hull City

[Amin Arrears]

I watched Derby's win over the Blunts and the Blunts gifted a couple of their goals, one a mistake by a defender which put him one on one with the keeper and a penalty. The other a good goal near post header.

Sounds like the Blunts have really turned a corner under Wilder.

Being out in NZ,7.45 pm kick off is perfect, 8.45 am Wednesday morning start.

Just hope it doesn't spoil your day...
UTT!

Certainly, so far, I've had more smiles on my face than last season, let's hope that continues.

I'm in glasgow so had to set my watch 25 years back

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.

Derbys threats last season against us were aerial.... Need to stop the crosses coming in start with what we finished on Saturday....

Could probably do with a change at right back then if we want to stop crosses...

I saw us lose 3-1 there in October ‘84, I remember it being the loudest and most intimidating atmosphere I ever experienced. After the game my missus nearly got trampled by police horses, bloody coppers treated everyone as a hooligan back then and the riders just kept shouting move move even when we had nowhere to go.

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

Talking of Glasgow not seen Ric on here for a while.

That would make sense if they hadn't almost entirely turned over their XI

I was thinking that yesterday, hope he's well.

6.45 here but agree, it's a lovely kick off.

Lump on them to go up, I hear they've scored ten times more goals than under Selles.

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.

Not hugely surprising. They sold their best players and didn't replace them.

Great story for a City board

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.
