Halfway through it and I don’t really read books.  But it’s really well put together, lots of player thoughts laced through the text which really give you a seamless view inside our club through the recent past years.  I look forward to my nighty reads, thank you @HuddersRam

Top effort, glad you're enjoying it! The 2-2 with Christie robbed of a hat-trick? Remember it well. Birthday ruined.
I've put together 2000 words or so with Craig Bryson as well that seems to have gone down well today. Here's the link if anyone wants some night time reading: https://thederbybook.wordpress.com/2020/10/18/sitting-down-with-craig-bryson/

Glad you're enjoying it! That promotion season was probably my favourite to work on. Either that or in a very strange way, the 11 point one.
And that's not a bad idea with the threads. Was a bit conscious about spamming the forum but might be worth a bash, yeah!

Thanks David, glad it went down well and provided a few smiles over a time where they've been pretty hard to come by! And @Heisenberg& @DJAY, good to hear it did the job! I'm 25 as well so at times it was a whole lot of research but then for others it was just through my extensive and ultimately sad knowledge of the club.
Heard from the publishers that it's in for a second edition reprint as it's gone down so well, so a massive thanks to everyone who has taken a read. I loved working on it. In terms of that audiobook from Billy, we might be waiting a while sadly

Yep I agree, I'm 25 and thoroughly enjoyed it.
I only really remember supporting the Rams when Burley came onto the scene so it was an interesting to learn more about what actually went on with the 3 amigos/the follow on when Gadsby and his consortium cleared the clubs debts, as well as everything that came before that in the earlier years with Jim Smith and Gregory. 
I couldn't recommended it highly enough to any Rams fans who haven't purchased yet!

Not Just 35+, I'm 32 and really enjoying it so far. About 20% of the way through reminiscing about the time I met John Gregory on an open day and ended up in a news article the DET!

I'll wait until the audiobook, read by Billy Davies, comes out.

Mine arrived yesterday, been added to the pile for now but I look forward to reading it soon! 

Just a quick bump on this as it deserves it, maybe it’s the era that I grew up with, but this is hands down the best Derby County book I’ve read, so many little quotes that put a smile on your face, stories from times where the internet wasn’t a thing. 
Whack it on the Xmas list for anyone that’s 35+, honestly you won’t be disappointed. ?

Just in case anyone wants to take their minds off current Derby, I've put together a few articles with players of the pretty recent past that might take you to a slightly happier time. Pretty much everything in these are quotes that didn't make the final edition of the book, but thought there were a few little glimmers of insight worth scrambling together! Article with Craig Bryson coming tomorrow as well.

Think @ariotofmyowncovered it, a book every 20 years seems a possibility!
And thanks for saying that Rev, that has actually made my evening after a long old Monday. I've got a couple of ideas I'm tempted by both in and out of the club, but I think I'm gonna hold off on those until I see whether people actually enjoyed Pride first.

Pride 2021 to 2040. The non-league years? Or the Champions league years?

Do you have a follow up project planned?
You're obviously highly talented, that much is obvious from the short pieces I've read. Will get round to the book soon.

Top effort, glad you're enjoying it! The 2-2 with Christie robbed of a hat-trick? Remember it well. Birthday ruined.

Smashed through the first 70 pages today. Fantastic read. Combining it with albums from those years too. Hour of the Bewilderbeast for 2000 and Strokes debut for 2001. Great times.
That draw with Man U under Gregory was on my bday. I had been staying with mate in Nottingham the night before and missed the start as the trains were all screwed. Great atmosphere.
I haven't thought of Mawene for a long time. Used to like his relaxed style.

As part of Pride, I took up around six hours of Craig Bryson's time, splitting interviews over three different days. It would be little surprise if he had blocked my number by now. But like pretty much everyone else who contributed to the book, he's been really on board and even gave a little emoji yesterday. I now realise I probably should have got former players and managers to do all my marketing, but we live and learn.

Just in case anyone wants to take their minds off current Derby, I've put together a few articles with players of the pretty recent past that might take you to a slightly happier time. Pretty much everything in these are quotes that didn't make the final edition of the book, but thought there were a few little glimmers of insight worth scrambling together!

Assassin's Creed has to take priority, I agree with you completely on that!
Enjoy the book ? If we carry on as we are, there will be a second one imminently just on these last few days.

Mine arrived today. Lovely cover, great pics inside (especially the back cover) and smells lovely.
I would like to start it tonight, but I'm addicted to both the TV show Dark and Assassin's Creed Oddesey. Think there was something else on tonight too, but that could well end up being the 4th best option!

As I desperately try to avoid everything is unfolding on deadine day, thought this may be of some interest to perhaps some of you out there!
The book seems to have gone down incredibly well so far which is fantastic, but I put together a little article on the process behind the book and how over three years it all came to life, just in case anyone fancies a lunch time read!
https://thederbybook.wordpress.com/2020/10/02/inside-pride/
For anyone who has ordered on Amazon, Waterstones or Smith's, it should certainly be with you by this time next week. But otherwise, it's available at the DCFC Megastore and on their site now as well: https://www.dcfcmegastore.co.uk/item/2865/Books/PrideThe-Inside-Story-of-Derby-County-in-the-21ST-Century-Na.html
Okay, marketing spiel over for the day! If anyone has any feedback on the book as well and if you've already managed to get through it, would love to get your take!
