About Derby County

Derby County Football Club is a professional association football club based in Derby, Derbyshire, England. Their home matches are played at Pride Park Stadium, where the club moved in 1997.

Notable for being one of the 12 founder members of the Football League in 1888, it is one of only ten clubs to have competed in every season of the English football league system and, in 2009, was ranked 137th in the top 200 European football teams of the 20th century by the International Federation of Football History & Statistics.

Derby County F.C. was founded in 1884, by William Morley, as an offshoot of Derbyshire County Cricket Club; it has spent all but four seasons in the top two divisions of English football. The club's competitive peak came in the 1970s when they were twice English League Champions and competed in major European competitions on four separate occasions, reaching the European Cup semi-finals, as well as winning several minor trophies. Additionally, the club was a strong force in the interwar years and won the 1945–46 FA Cup.

The club adopted its now traditional black and white club colours in the 1890s and appropriated its club nickname The Rams, a tribute to its links with the First Regiment of Derby Militia, which took a ram as its mascot and the song "The Derby Ram" as its regimental song, at the same time.

23,500 Crowd Surely at least

Looking forward to Saturday - hopefully we can get a win but a draw would also be good. A loss disappointing.
In terms of the crowd I think it would be incredible if we got 24-25k. ( considering our crowd numbers not so long ago) I'd be very happy with 22-23k. Anything below 20k would be disappointing after our start to the season. The club deserves the support and it's very entertaining at the mo so if you are thinking about going, then go on get yourself down there! it won't cost too much if you select a cheaper seat too!

I can't make a prediction on attendance unless anyone knows roughly how many Derby would be likely to bring

The Rams go up against the Bluebirds on Saturday at the Cardiff City Stadium, and are without a win in their last four games in all competitions.

Cardiff 2 Derby 1 crowd 19.700

Cardiff City 4-0 Derby County

4-1 City!

Think it will be a lot tougher than Leeds game, as I don't think we can maintain that high for a second successive game tbh. I still see us getting the win though.

Cardiff City 1-0 Derby County. Attendance: 22,500.

I can't see why we couldn't maintain the form we are in, recent sores predict 4-1 so I'll go with that, 22875 attendance.

Derby win 3-1, Ledley hat-trick

Seriously now, 1-1

Neil Warnock reveals there are no new injury worries ahead of the Derby game other than the players that were missing against Leeds on Tuesday.

I think this will be a tough one after Tuesday, got a bad feeling about it, last time I had a feeling like this was Preston

Im hoping for a win but it wouldn't surprise me to see us get a draw.

3-1 City

I'm hoping to drive down In the morning. Do you guys think il be able to get a ticket and 2 kids tickets for the family stand, or likely to be sold out???

No problem purchasing tickets for the family stand,even Tuesday there were plenty of spare seats.

If neither Gunnarson or Ralls are fit to return, I'm a bit concerned as Bryson will be unable to play against his own club

Id be very concerned.
We might have caught Leeds cold with Bamba in front of the back 4, but Bryson was really exposed and had to cover the central area single handedly . Once Leeds worked it out they got on top, even with 10. Luckily the game was over as a contest by then.

Derbys midfield are better . I'd get Damour and Ralls sitting in with Tomlin as the advanced one of the 3.
Derby will be organised at the back, so his tricks will come in handy , plus he'll be fresh and have a point to prove.

71% of derby fans expecting to lose. many expecting a heavy loss. only 13% think they will win.
