We got the shuttle bus from town. There’s not much going on around the ground so probably best to drink in town then bus or drive up. There’s a few car parks next to the ground. Nice pub connected to the train station, that was lively with Derby fans last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derby blood Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 According to the website only 39 tickets left, can not wait for this now, will deffo get some extra, I deffo think we will take over 2000 now, which is a great following for a Friday night live game on sky, got a feeling the Frank effect will improve attendances at home and away.

Nice pub connected to the train station, that was lively with Derby fans last year Things are a bit better around the ground but still not great. There is now a screen outside which shows the early kick off game (if there is one). There's also a lot more drink stands and food places, benches, etc... Planning has been agreed for lots of apartment blocks, business centre, pubs and restaurants next to the round. That is someway off, probably 3-5 years, but it's desperately needed. Also, next year there will be a train station next to the ground. It's already in place I think, the line's just not ready and the train company need to sort out a schedule for it. That should help the shuttle bus bottle neck - which I would agree is really bleak transport method. In terms of car parks, most I think are £8 or £10. Personally, I park around Blandford Road and Hartland Road. That's 20 minutes walk to the ground. If you parked near the stadium you'd be stuck in traffic after the game, so I don't mind the walk back. It also saves a bit of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw that but now there are over 500 tickets left. The allocation has not been increased according to the ticket web page? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn’t over impressed with the choice of beer but it was wet. It will be ok to go to them in August but it was a bit nippy in February. I parked in an area called Whitley I think that is what it's called on the map although I wasn't confident my car would still be there when I got back. All the pubs I went passed didn't look like they were accepting any more people in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
