Alph Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Are you saying you expect the publicly funded radio Derby to cater specifically to your tastes? It may be called radio Derby, but it has to cover a wider catchment area than just one city.Nah, I barely care. Just don't like hearing about Burton. If that's ok?

Tombo Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Why do people like Burton, is there something I'm missing?I don't know if many Derby fans really do 'like' them, but I'd always prefer them to do well over a team that is nowhere near us. I find it hard to be a neutral watching any game, so things like their locality swings these things. When it's Burton vs Morecambe, what possible reason would I have to side with Morecambe? I obviously want Burton to win that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddie Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 I don't support Burton, but I have a 'soft spot' for them. I'm sure others on here feel the same about Matlock, Ilson, Alfreton etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brammie Steve Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Burton Albion and Derby County have always had something of a special relationship. If the Brewers had a particularly promising player Derby heard about it first. When Burton got further than the Rams in the Cup and were drawn at home they played the game against Leicester at the BBG. Coming from the Burton area I used to go to Eton Road quite often especially when their numbers 10 and 11 were Kevin Hector and Ian Storey Moore!Regarding Radio Derby, I remember it starting up and we in Tutbury were surprised at how much airspace was given to Burton and district. even now their 1116 waveband covers Burton matches.Congratulations to my second favourite team on their promotion which is fully deserved.Although I now live within shouting distance of the Hawthorns, Molyneux, St Andrews, Villa Park and the Bescot Stadium my allegiance is to the Rams always first and the Brewers second. One day they will face each other in a major competition. a mouth watering prospect IMO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day Posted April 20, 2015 Author Share Posted April 20, 2015 Nottingham is only a couple extra miles, spend a lot of time in leagues below them. Shared players and managers, can't fill their ground, punching above their weight, I might start supporting them.BBC cuts could even find us on the same radio station, how cool would that be.Come on Forest!

ramsbottom Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 If it ever comes to a time when they're in the same division as us then of course they'd be rivals. Until then, I'll keep an eye on their results, same as Chesterfield, Ilson Town, Mickleover Sports and (oddly) Port Vale... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radio Derby covers Derbyshire and East Staffs, so I am sure that there are many who while being Derby fans have also enjoyed the success at Burton Albion. I am sure that if Alfreton or Ilkeston managed to find their way into the league then they would also have their coverage increased. Excellent achievement to find their way into League one as a small club with no debt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralRam Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 I personally think that Burton should fit into South Derbyshire. It already has a DE postcode and is right next to Swad.I also consider Chesterfield to be a bit more Sheffield way than Derby too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashz09 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 I've always liked them until I found out they sing nasty songs about us lol. Along with Chesterfield I guess all Derbyshire aren't we. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Along with Chesterfield I guess all Derbyshire aren't we.Of course they sing nasty songs about us. It's aspirational. Actually it's that kind of patronising aloofness I just exemplified that really winds them up more than anything. So we should all be super nice to Burton and Chesterfield.
