NottsRam Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 I have been asked if there are any buses run to home games from the Ilkeston area. Does anyone know of any please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GenBr Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Its not specifically a bus for the football, but the Black Cat stops in Chaddesden very close to the Costco A52 Bridge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smyth_18 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 As far as i'm aware Heanor is the closest supporters bus, unless you get the Two into Derby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I have given them the Heanor option as I use it but I was thinking a pub or somewhere in Ilson might run a bus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aidan DCFC Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Think cat and fiddle in kirk hallam run a bus. Davy lamp in ilkeston used to do one aswell not sure if they do anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sawley_ram Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 You could take the my15 to Sawley, get off at the Railway Station and then the train to Derby takes 9 minutes. From there it's an easy walk to the ground with a few pubs on the way. Plus you get to walk in with fellow Rams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlsonDerby Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Cat and fiddle is good. Plenty of time in the pub before it leaves. Gets you there 15 mins before kick off to soak the atmosphere up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just go and ask ‘Stan’ for a ticket in the pub on the day. We get there anywhere from a couple hours before leaving right up to 15 minutes before leaving and have never struggled getting on. Not sure on price as since I bought my house I’ve been sponging off my dad at the football haha. It’s <5 return though I believe. I’m away this weekend otherwise I’d meet you at the pub to help sort you out so you know what to do moving forwards! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimbeard Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Thanks from me too, Ilsonram12. Think I'll give this a try, gotta be better than waiting half an hour to get out of a car park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LERam Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 There’s an app you can use called Moovit, I’ve used it a couple of times. Stick in where you are and where you are going with times and it will tell you the best bus/tram/train to catch. Might be useful. edit to add that’s on apple not sure if it’s on the others or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
