Danelaw Rams Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 (edited) This sums it up for me the good the bad and the ugly. It really was tribal.!.... Lots of match day memories...but probably as a 10 ish year old 1981 last game of the season against Watford..Watford were already promoted as division 2 champions , Derby had to win to stay up( I think), and they did 3-2 in a game that had to be stopped 3 or 4 times due to pitch invasions and fighting, skinheads, new romantics, casuals ,kevin hector!..it had the lot.

I used to live in Dairyhouse Road and can recall those evening matches complete with localised smog from all the cigarettes and pipes.

Turk Thrust Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Also I seem to recall from my days at the Wardwick local history library that the area near the Ground was bought from the Reeves family hence Reeves Road. Their farm was Leacroft farm and so Leacroft Rd. Dairyhouse Road was where they milked the cows.His daughters were Catherine and Augusta (both streets) his son was Malcolm hence Malcolm Street. And Grayling Street is named after the farmer’s donkey! There’s probably more Reeves family connections such as Douglas Street and Olivier Street but my memory isn’t what it was I know nothing, Kingpin, uttoxram75 and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am assuming it was on the Ley side of the ground? But I don't remember that being part of the stand. Maybe the wall between the ground and Leys?

Maybe the wall between the ground and Leys? the origional entrance to the ley stand when it was first build and the popside before that, you would go through there and then up some stairs on the side of the stand.

Having only been to a handful of games at Pride Park football for me is as much the "aroma" on a cold, damp Wednesday night. I can still smell without having to try too hard. That and my nana's homemade mince pies. Why have tears come to my eyes? ? I don't miss those mens' toilets either! We used to try and wait till we got home!
