Seeing someone describe it as “unputdownable” didn’t make me feel much better. ☹️ If Lockdown2 does strike, I think it's understandable to bring Christmas forward a couple of months ?♂️ Pearl Ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is true, I honestly don't know where I'd even begin with it. Would probably just be an extra 10 pages of question marks.

HuddersRam Posted October 16, 2020 Author Share Posted October 16, 2020 As I desperately try to avoid everything is unfolding on deadine day, thought this may be of some interest to perhaps some of you out there! The book seems to have gone down incredibly well so far which is fantastic, but I put together a little article on the process behind the book and how over three years it all came to life, just in case anyone fancies a lunch time read! https://thederbybook.wordpress.com/2020/10/02/inside-pride/ For anyone who has ordered on Amazon, Waterstones or Smith's, it should certainly be with you by this time next week. But otherwise, it's available at the DCFC Megastore and on their site now as well: https://www.dcfcmegastore.co.uk/item/2865/Books/PrideThe-Inside-Story-of-Derby-County-in-the-21ST-Century-Na.html Okay, marketing spiel over for the day! If anyone has any feedback on the book as well and if you've already managed to get through it, would love to get your take! IslandExile 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ariotofmyown Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Mine arrived today. Lovely cover, great pics inside (especially the back cover) and smells lovely. I would like to start it tonight, but I'm addicted to both the TV show Dark and Assassin's Creed Oddesey. Think there was something else on tonight too, but that could well end up being the 4th best option! HuddersRam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we carry on as we are, there will be a second one imminently just on these last few days. ariotofmyown 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuddersRam Posted October 17, 2020 Author Share Posted October 17, 2020 Just in case anyone wants to take their minds off current Derby, I've put together a few articles with players of the pretty recent past that might take you to a slightly happier time. Pretty much everything in these are quotes that didn't make the final edition of the book, but thought there were a few little glimmers of insight worth scrambling together! Article with Craig Bryson coming tomorrow as well.

ariotofmyown Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Smashed through the first 70 pages today. Fantastic read. Combining it with albums from those years too. Hour of the Bewilderbeast for 2000 and Strokes debut for 2001. Great times. That draw with Man U under Gregory was on my bday. I had been staying with mate in Nottingham the night before and missed the start as the trains were all screwed. Great atmosphere. I haven't thought of Mawene for a long time. Used to like his relaxed style. HuddersRam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've put together 2000 words or so with Craig Bryson as well that seems to have gone down well today.

And thanks for saying that Rev, that has actually made my evening after a long old Monday. I've got a couple of ideas I'm tempted by both in and out of the club, but I think I'm gonna hold off on those until I see whether people actually enjoyed Pride first. ariotofmyown 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Just a quick bump on this as it deserves it, maybe it’s the era that I grew up with, but this is hands down the best Derby County book I’ve read, so many little quotes that put a smile on your face, stories from times where the internet wasn’t a thing. Whack it on the Xmas list for anyone that’s 35+, honestly you won’t be disappointed. ? ariotofmyown and HuddersRam 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only really remember supporting the Rams when Burley came onto the scene so it was an interesting to learn more about what actually went on with the 3 amigos/the follow on when Gadsby and his consortium cleared the clubs debts, as well as everything that came before that in the earlier years with Jim Smith and Gregory. I couldn't recommended it highly enough to any Rams fans who haven't purchased yet! HuddersRam and ariotofmyown 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
