For you young uns kick offs were 7,30 pm, half time was 10minutes and the matches finished at 9.10pm, unless it was an ambulance case on the pitch. The good old days.? Seeing these pictures remindered me of STANDING in the middle tier in the ossie. Stamping on those wooden boards made an incredible noise. I suppose the newbies can’t even comprehend the idea of terracing in the stands. Safe standing before it was even thought of Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RamNut Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Those ugly exec boxes ruined the Ley Stand. Remember when the ground was all painted green and there hardly any adverts. Great times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting there for 1 o/c on a Saturday when the turnstiles opened. Standing front row, middle, next to that post under the clock having walked from Chester Green with my friend Robin. It was easier to get front row standing in 1966. Still managed to get a seat there though when they put seating in. Can still see Hector and O'Hare bearing down 2 on 1 on Lawrence (I think) the Liverpool goalkeeper to make it 4 - 0 !! Great days.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uttoxram75 Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 @loweman2 these photos are pure gold mate. I have to keep zooming in to see if I can see me or my mates on them. Brilliant, takes me right back to the old place in all its glory, despair, and all points between. I grew up there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brilliant @uttoxram75 that is why I am posting all of these pics, hopefully to spark some great memories of when life in general seemed a bit simpler ! No one gave a toss about Brexit, the government, Muslims, terrorism, the internet, emails, mobile phones, speed cameras, seat belts, sky tv, Monday night football, Tuesday night football all we cared about was Saturday afternoon In front of the radio if you were a kid or if you were older a few pints with your mates and that amazing walk through the back streets of Derby to the centre of the world ! The Baseball Ground to watch anything from the sublime to the ridiculous depending on which era it was ! One big happy family ! I used to love the way the “ come on Derby, come on Derby” chant reverberated around the BBG! Especially on a midweek game, very atmospheric! Up the Rams !
