Derby County (Away)

Tue Jan 03, 2017 3:11 pm

Was thinking about going to this one (not expecting to win) with a friend but never been to this away ground before. Just wondered what it's like? any posters been before to pride park? I don't mind the 3 hour each way travel but just wondered what it's like for an away fan? Thanks

Going to Bristol away too but I know that'll be a loud fixture compared with Derby. How many fans are we likely to take to Derby away? If say we are doing ok.

Out of all the 'new grounds' its one of the best in my opinion, even better since they switched the away end to the corner/side.

The more vociferous Derby fans sit behind the goal where the away end used to be so they are right next to you which makes for a good atmosphere.

Ye it's a good stadium to visit especially these days with their 'singing section' next to the away end. There's not a lot of drinking options mind in terms of pubs nearby the stadium.

Cheers thanks guys :thumbright: Been to many away games but never Derby so was wondering what to expect. Will more than likely go on the supporters club coach. Not as bigger drinker as I used to be...... :bluescarf: can't wait for Bristol away first!

Yeah it's a really nice ground. Agree with the other posters, the singing section next to the away end revs the atmosphere up nicely!
