Parking has got harder and harder over the years.
It will continue to put off fans coming to games.

I use the 'myparkingspace' website to pre-book a spot either at the Premier Inn, Derby East on - I think it's called - Wyvern Industrial Estate, or at Wickes on London Road. The latter having the not inconsiderable benefit of a fantastic chippy on the way back through towards home.
Both cost around £5.50 including the booking charge.

Keep away from the Pride Park area, unless you’re happy to leave 15 mins before like @David does. Watch him deny or ignore it.

I used to get to the ground early and park on the road for free around the Meadow Lane area in Chadd then walk across the footbridge.
Was difficult getting out sometimes at the end of the game but guess that would be the same wherever you parked.

I usually park on the estate next to the Audi garage. £5 and right next to the ground. Bit of a pain to get out sometimes as they direct all traffic over the bridge towards Ascot drive but that's my preference.
Or.. if you fancy a pint before/after then park at Derbion and catch the Neptune shuttle bus to the game, only £2/3 for a return. Parking fee was about £5 last time I did that and you miss all the traffic on the way out because it's straight on to the A52.

Park for free at Alvaston park and walk up by the river

Or Darwin Place a bit further along. £3-£4 for the duration and good access back onto A52/M1/A38
Plenty of car parks closer to the ground on the industrial estates but you really need to leave 5-10 mins before the end of the match or wait half hour afterwards as the roads are chocker with fans and cars.

If he likes a stroll along the river, the GrandRiver Suite on Meadow Road is perfect for a fiver. Loads of space and you sometimes get the colourful spectacle of an Asian wedding thrown in for free.

Parked at the British Rail offices at the top of Ascot drive for the last home game . It was half empty . No wonder £10

Full time. Derby 1-2 Buxton. Unfair result on the lads after playing well for most of the game. The odd mistake being our downfall... But that's always going to happen with a team with limited experience. Both of Buxton's goals must have been less than a yard out!
Most of the players were solid. Standouts for me were Dan Cox in defence (playing well beyond his years!) Kido Taylor-Hart (great close control) and Dajaune Brown (physically strong and quick).

A very young looking U21 side:

Are we including Rooney and Tommo, as they have been largely ignored this season?
Cybulski and Stretton would have been useful squad players, but someone made the decision to loan them out, and in Stretton's case, sold in January.
Aghatise has been the standout for me in the U21s (when fit) and his versatility means he could have been given minutes this season on the wing in the first team. He's physically ready for first team football too.
Hawkins and DRobinson could breakthrough in the next 2 or 3 years, but have a lot of competition in the CM position.
Moloney (LB/LWB) and Richards (RW/RWB) have started playing more for the U21s and have a shot at.
Evans and JThompson (both GK), Cox (CB), Davidson (W/CF), DBrown (CF) and Wheeldon (CF) are all players I see playing for the first team eventually.

Here are the highlights of the game against Alfreton https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sBVlqQAfhIs and the Dirties u21 https://www.dcfc.co.uk/news/2023/03/u21-highlights-leeds-united-3-0-derby-county.
In a moment of weakness during a boring meeting, I looked up what the local Leeds press had to say about last night's game and they gave the impression that their u21s had given a performance that would have left the 1970 Brazilians open-mouthed in admiration. The highlights tell a slightly different story - they took their chances, we didn't and we gave a couple of goals away. The stats on Soccerway (or was it Flashscore?) also suggest that it was a fairly even game, but then of course you prove anything with stats.
Kido Taylor-Hart definitely looks a prospect, somewhat reminiscent of Ebiowe. Let's hope we can get him signed up permanently. Overall, I suspect that the Alfreton game will be much more beneficial to our lads with regard to their development, not because we won, but because of the physical battle that it seemingly involved.

Great recovery by these youngsters..they were adrift like the U21 but have strung some really strong results together..

4231? It's unfortunate that the U21s have been without Bardell, Solomon and Rooney for much of the season. Anyone of them significantly improves the defence.

I went to Ilkeston Town today, won 3-2 after being two nil down at half time. Connor Dixon played the whole match (no. 8). Had a great second half, set up Leroy Lita for a goal
