Ram newspaper was start of my love for Derby county , friends of family from Ripley brought it down in early 70s and collected them.. never saved them...Doh 

Did I mention that I will have a load of Ram newspapers for sale tomorrow?! Complete seasons from 1971-71 to 1976-77 plus a few other bits and pieces like the last ever Derby home programme v Blackburn in 2020, all Derby aways since the first lockdown and the Euro 2020 Final programme.

The Derby football programme & memorabilia fair is tomorrow at Nunsfield Social Club, Boulton Lane, Alvaston from 10.30am - 1pm. Entry is free. Hope to see some of you there. I'll be the guy with a load of Ram newspapers from the 1970s and the Derby County Memories magazines.

Morning all. 

A football programme & memorabilia fair will be held at Nunsfield Social Club, Boulton Lane, Alvaston on Sunday 5 September 10.30am - 1pm. Entry is free.

Similar fairs have been held at this venue for the last few years with good attendances so please come along to support if you can.

Fair is a week today. 10.30am start. Be there...or be somewhere else. 

The Ram newspaper was Derby's official programme throughout most of the 70s and early 80s. The example below is from the first league game against Manchester United. 

I'll have a stall at the fair as I have almost 200 ram newspapers from the 70s to move on. Anyone else planning on going? 

Another bump - the fair is 2 weeks on Sunday over the international break. 

It will be at Field Lane Football Club in Alvaston which is around a mile from Nunsfield Social Club. Don't know if the bust has been built yet though.

Quick bump for anyone who missed this yesterday.

Born in Derby, spent my infant years in Normanton near the BBG (Violet Street) then moved up North aged 4. 

First got into football about 9 & was told I had to be a Ram because of where I was born. Started looking out for results from 1987 after we came up into old First Division. My Grandad never really liked football but was Derby through & through...bought me a replica top when I was 10 & then got me the Match of the Day video for Derby. Was amazing seeing those old European matches & I was hooked from then on. 

Moved to Leeds 16 years ago for work...love the city, love the people but will always be a Ram. Always got my Derby top on around town, plenty of other Rams up here too. COYR

Another Leeds-based Ram here. Born in Derby, had a season ticket with my dad between 1995-2000 before I moved away to university, then again in 2003-2004 when I temporarily moved home after graduating. Relocated to Leeds for teacher training in 2004 and have never left. Usually make it to 3-4 games a season with my dad still. Agree with Rev's comment about fans who support from a distance more likely to use this forum than those who are based in Derby and hear Rams-news all the time.

For anyone who is not aware, there is an excellent DCFC memorabilia site www.derbycountymemories.co.uk. 

There were also magazines that preceded the website produced between 2013-2018 available on ebay

Got a spare one of these if anyone wants one. Will post a photo tomorrow. 

I have posted an article about DCFC books written by David Moore on the Derby County Memories website. Any books missing that should be on here?
