Out of interest, I took a quick look at their ticket prices for their home game against Lincoln and it looked to me as if it’s £25 for adults everywhere in the stadium.

I love sinking a few titanic beers.

I didn't really get that feeling at the BH last season tbh, though sound advice from yourself certainly, but I never wear colours away for the simple reason that it makes it harder to get into some pubs and some home fans don't like in-yer-face shows of club affiliation in their boozers, though it's much rarer nowadays amongst those old enough to get served. 
The only sniff of 'aggro' I noticed last season was a couple of small groups of local 'yoof' running around the Market Place area after the game looking for like-minded Derby fans. They were well outnumbered by police though.

I agree. The Bulls Head has a good range of Titanic beers including the wonderful Plum Porter, but it felt very much like a home pub last year. A random PV fan bought me a pint, probably not realising I was a Derby fan! so probably best advised not to wear colours (unless it's a generic B & W scrave) if you plan to visit this pub.

Last season, the excellent Bursley Ale House, just off the Market Place in Burslem, was selling basic burgers and hotdogs from their beer garden at the front of the pub. All the pubs round the Market Place were welcoming and served good beer.

1Wildsmith 7.5: That 5mm of glove material that Joe got on that goal-bound shot on 44 minutes to deflect it onto the right-hand upright was as significant in terms of the result as NML's surging drive into the back of the net on 90 minutes. Fine margins indeed.   
24Nyambe 6.5: Solid, firm and forceful. let's hope he likes the Derbyshire countryside & chooses to stay around come the New Year. 
35Nelson 7.5: An outstanding presence, but defence must take a collective -0.5 for allowing what we all predicted pre-match.  
6Cashin 7.5: Blocked, headed tackled. Always an offensive threat at corners with his rabbit-like spring but must learn to time it so his headers are not gentle lobs to their keeper.
17Sibley 6.5: Solid in defence albeit beaten on a couple of occasions. Switched position and arguably should have finished off the 1v1. Needs a run of games as any player does.   
4Hourihane 6.5: A couple of lovely balls into the box from corners but we need more defence-splitting passes as an option 2 rather than constant balls outside to the wings.
7Barkhuizen 5.5: His cut inside and sideways running is becoming habitual. Needs to re-set his own game-plan. 
2Wilson 6.5: Should've been introduced sooner; showed his obvious threat quickly and helped to unsettle Gas defenders.
12Smith 5.5: Too frequently bossed off the ball I'm afraid & provides insufficient amends elsewhere. 
22Fornah 7.5 Power, big appetite and great assist for the winner. If Rams are to continue upwards trajectory Fornah has to start. No question. 
8Bird 7.0 The CPU of the Team; some delightful and often subtle contributions that go unnoticed. Central to our fortunes. 
5Bradley 6.0 Some sky-scraper hoofs late on to kill off the resistance. 
11Méndez-Laing 8.5 MoTM Burned the Gas defence off with pace and power when pushed further forward 2nd half. NML is the new McDick and his fitness and wellbeing is crucial to Ram's season. 
9Collins 6.0 Huffed and Puffed in vain.
10Waghorn 6.0 Late legs to see it out.
 
This game will always be in my memory for B4 who epitomised and personified what supporting a football team means. May his memory and example live on in perpetuity.  "Always remember this our club".  

ATG
1Wildsmith   7.0  - Important save just before H/T, but not very busy.
24Nyambe 6.0 - OK
35Nelson 7.0 - Fairly solid game
6Cashin 7.0 - some great tackles, occasional sledge hammer pass when a bit more finesse was required
17Sibley 6.5 - Had a better second half after switching position. Did not look comfortable at left back.
4Hourihane 6.0 - Just feel he has so much more to offer, but often takes the easy option
7Barkhuizen 5.5 - Largely anonymous
2Wilson 6.5 - Added another option to our otherwise predicable attacking play
12Smith 5.5 - Did not not impose himself in midfield and largely out muscled
22Fornah 7.0 - Great to see him set up ML with a great pull back. will do his confidence the world of good
8Bird 6.5 - Mixed bag
5Bradley 5.5 - Did not seem to know his role at the F/K that led to the equaliser, trying to get guidance from the management
11Méndez-Laing 8.0 - A great display of power and pace, nice finish for the winner.
9Collins 6.0 - Worked hard on scraps in the first half
10Waghorn 6.0 

Went to RamsTv full 90 & ffwd’ed to 38 minutes when Collo crossed from the left which flew high & wide & a lovely tribute from fans and @Owen87ITK “…a minute’s applause for Daniel Beavis who passed away …known affectionately online as B4 …& you will never meet another more infectiously enthusiastic Derby County supporter, travelled home & away to watch his beloved team & will be sorely misssed by friends & family …& this is a lovely tribute…” <crescendoes of applause & camera pans around showing fans applauding >. Very moving and will live in our memories forever. 🥲

Coulldn’t miss out on a pic with Rammie 🐏

So emotional today, hearing the applause ring out for Daniel. I was very heartened to read that both RamsTV and Radio Derby mentioned him in their commentaries. 
Thanks, @Owen87ITK.
If anyone has either snippet, those of us at the match would love to hear them. 
The moon rose over East Stand this evening in his memory.
B4 will live long in our memories. Go well, young man. 🐏⚽️🖤🤍

Love my shirt @Lander. Thanks so much x

Been on holiday, and coming gack through the airport my Mrs fainted and collapsed on the luggage carousel. Fortunately she came round again quite quickly.

Sheffield united away. FA Cup. Possibly 85. One of my favourite away days, along with the league game at the same place. The away end was soooooo full for both games, when we scored it was impossible to stay in the same place. It was like a tsunami moving everyone around.

If anyone wants to make this happen I have the means to do so at home, I'm currently in MK until Wednesday before I return home to Ripley but I could print whatever is required on the back. I don't want any money for it, all I'd ask is that you cover the cost of what it costs me to do it, which shouldn't be much more than a fiver per shirt. If you're interested drop me a message and we can sort something out before the game Saturday to help us pay our respects to a legend.

We moan because our team is inconsistent. My mate supports Cheltenham and they’re consistently rubbish.
We have it lucky compared to some.
Not long ago we were praying for a club of any standard.
My dream is a fanbase that’s more respectful of each other and other clubs.
It’s of an atmosphere of celebration each week that we have a club we love.
In my dream, Derby’s players are desperate to play for their manager and the rams badge.
I hope it comes true.

May 1985, apparently. A 2-2 draw with goals by Bobby Davison and Gary Micklewhitr.

I remember seeing them at the BBG in the old second division in the early 80s

If you are prepared to walk there is plenty of street parking. Last year I parked near Longport Railway Station.

Nice night for football, cool but not cold and dry. Almost abit of a buzz around the place. COYR.

This will be the fourth consecutive Tues/Wed we have played at home! six if you include Notts county and Blackpool away games.

Or they would desperately like to be there but perhaps have had many midweek games lately, live away from Derby, have jobs and family commitments and are also perhaps cash-strapped at the moment

There are about 8k home tickets available, so subtracting the unsold tickets gives you a rough idea.
