Hello and welcome to Derby on Friday. Only giving you advice if you agree to give us the 3 points!

We know what happened on your last visit.

Head for the Cathedral which is worth a look and Irongate & Sadlergate are pleasant enough for a browse round the shops.

Just a few hundred yards beyond the Cathedral is a lovely pub called The Olde Dolphin, said to be the oldest pub in Derby. 

So having stopped for refreshments then why not try the Museum of Making just down to the right of the pub.

To further impress your good lady, a trip to Derby Theatre to see 'The School for Scandal' may be in order.

Enjoy your stay, but not too much!!

Thanks for that advice. Hope we are still welcomed if we win 🙂 We still have a chance of that 6th spot.

Hope you have a good weekend my friend (apart from the result of course!). Being a similar age, we enjoy the Silk Mill when in town (does some good pub grub), the Dolphin usually has a decent pint (oldest pub in Derby) and the Exeter Arms. 

There's loads of choice if you walk into the town centre. Enjoy.

I've been to Derby a few times (non football) and yes, the oldest pub in Derby, I've been in there. Is it also the most haunted pub in Derby too? As for the result, we are the most unpredictable team in the division. We still have an outside chance, but we will have a great time regardless win or lose.

I hope you like real ale.

If so a pub tour is recommended.

Brunswick, Alexandra, Smithfield, Exeter Arms, being my pick.

Countryside is lovely...not so much in March though. Enjoy.

Thank you. Everyone over the age of 14 in Blackpool likes their beer, so that will be good.

My second trip this season to your great club, but this time I'm treating my Mrs to a couple of nights in Derby.

We are staying in a hotel 5 minutes walk from the ground, but we will be doing the tourist bit and was wondering if any of you good Derby folks could give us some good places to visit and any welcoming pubs too. We are late 50's, so no skate board parks or teeny bopper boozers please. 

Thanks in advance and see you Friday 😄

All the best to Blackpool for this season. Delighted to see the club stable and their fans enjoying their season. 

Ps I've put the tangerines down for a 1-0 win, but if your charitable goodwill could extend to gifting us 3 points it'd be awfully decent of you... ??

The last time we went 1 nil up at yours, you put 5 or 6 past us same game ?  

We are out of form, so I reckon 0-0 or maybe we could get a win. Either way, your fans are well respected at the Seaside. Loads of messages on avftt.com and the facebook pages. 

£*** the EFL!

We remember how your fans supported us through our darkest hours.

We now have our club back and we are on our way back, but your fans were brilliant at Bloomfield Road singing all the Oyston out songs with us. We had a mini riot during that game, a night match and later that season, we started boycotting games home and away. 

Word is, our fans are 100% behind you during this hopefully short term blip in your great clubs situation. 

Good luck from the Seasiders!

Bri.
