Rev Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Apologies if this has been done before, but thought now would be a good time to ask 'What was your 1st ever experience of watching Derby? My first ever game was Derby vs Everton late 80s/early 90s I guess - 3-2 to derby goddard 2 Saunders 1, watched from family enclosure, people standing on milk crates etc. Not coming from a football supporting family i was hooked, it was the 1st time i felt a sense of belonging to something bigger, the fact I could get in for free to popside with a council bus pass for most games sealed the deal, using the money saved to catch the felix football special to away games. Would love to hear your stories about your 1st games, and how u have come to support DCFC. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddie Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 No idea. I was about 5 when I was taken to see Derby, but I was even younger when I was taken to see Gillingham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ossieram Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 No idea. I was about 5 when I was taken to see Derby, but I was even younger when I was taken to see Gillingham. I was also 5 and haven't got a clue who we played, I was too busy taking in the sights and sounds of the BBG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyB Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 My first game was a reserve game, a 0-0 draw against Leeds in either 78 or 79. My first 1st team game was Xmas 79, a 1-3 defeat to Liverpool with big Roger Davies scoring at both ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smalley Ram Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Peter Taylor's last home league match versus Brighton. We lost 0-3 I think but I was hooked, the noise and the beef tea was enough for this thirteen year old. I remember turning the corner off Dairy House Rd and being more than a little taken back by the sight and size of the side of the Ossie Stand. Seems daft now but it seemed so big and impressive.

rammie002 Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 0-2 vs West Ham I believe in 1998, remember it pretty much being a sellout! We lost but got my hooked either way, remember my dad just going on and on about Lampard and Ferdinand! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IlsonDerby Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Can't remember my first game but my earliest memory is watching lee Morris baring down on loose back pass for the keeper to come sliding out to claim it. The keeper was sent off for handling outside of the area and the first thing the sub keeper had to do was pick the ball out the net after kinkladze had lashed home the resulting freekick.

Lord_Ram Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 only a few years ago... never really had a taste for football until i went, my brother though is a vivid leicester supporter, and his school was doing a cheap family day thing for derby vs leicester at pp, and my mum bought tickets for him, me my other brother and her to go since it was 'cheap' decided i was going to support derby for the game since they were my local club and all, best decision of my life, even though we lost 2-0 and i think there was a goal cancelled for offside, hooked ever since Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
