B4ev6is Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 If derby ever leave pp would you like have a ground like old bbg with a capicty of around 40k but would look huge through but chances are we will just expand pride park. Just curiose what you guys think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Kevin Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 We won't leave PP in the foreseeable future B4 ,I believe the ground was designed to lift the other stands up to the West stand level .We would need to be established in the Prem to get anywhere near 40k gates every match although I believe we may fill it on some occasions. The BBG was brilliant in every way other than its final capacity [18500] and unfortunately it belonged to another era sadly missed . PP will never be Derbys spiritual home for me it will always be the BBG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TroyDyer Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 I prefer city centre stadiums, personally. Surrounded by houses and pubs rather than car show rooms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doodle Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 We don’t need 40 k. Even if we are promoted, after the initial excitement and without giving away teams 6 k plus tickets we would settle at around 31-33k max. Season 2-3-4 if we are established mid table mediocrity in the premier league this would drop below 30 k as it’s boring after a while. Remember some fans aren’t even bothered about going QPR away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Brolly Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Unfortunately there'll never be another ground like the bbg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curtains Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Pride Park has loads of potential for expansion and therefore I think DCFC would have to go out of business to vacate the area. I think PP is nicer than the BBG as it’s more state of the art but the BBG served its day and left memories but I wouldn’t want to have been like Everton and Forest and stayed at the old grounds. The recreation and corporate is great at PP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's never been used for Baseball. As for building a new BBG, they wouldn't be allowed to build like that now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angieram Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 I like Pride Park - it is comfortabe, you don't bang your knees on the seats in front, there's a great view from every seat, the entrances and exits are safe and you don't have to queue much, either for refreshments or toilets (of which there are plenty.) Where it is actually helps you to get there by car - which is how most people travel these days. I can only imagine the car queuing if we were still at the Baseball Ground. The only thing I really miss about the Baseball Ground is that sense of being right on top of the action. But that came at a cost for me of personal safety so I will always prefer Pride Park.

Owd miner Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Pride park, mi owd mukkas it a soulless concrete bowl built around the ridiculous order that all stadium should be allseater after Hillsborough. The rush for new stadium was sickening. The heart of the club for me was ripped out when we moved. it is now money money money. Ask west Ham fans how they feel about moving......

Edtheram Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 I like Pride Park, Its a nice stadium - im pretty sure were usually in the top 3 most seasons for the overall away day experience. However i think we can improve aspects of the ground such as the top corner in the north stand near the screen, It always looks so empty and would like us to give out deals or prizes to fill it. Im also hoping for Safe standing to be introduced in the south stand as this would enhance the atmosphere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the dismal 07/08 season, despite our poor performances we still attracted home crowds of over 30k every single game. In fact most games at home had crowds of 32k to 33k and in the last 7 games we were nearly packed out in the stadium. Not saying we need nor want a new ground but I could see us pulling in crowds over 35k given our record, should we return to the top flight.

It's rated very highly -- I work away sometimes and those who have been to PP always praise it as a great ground not too far from the pubs and town. Proud to say we are also regularly rated top for average home attendances in the Championship too. Going back season after season our fans never seem to waiver.
