Day Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 I have my dad to blame, he's not what you would call a massive fan nowdays, not sure he could even name the full Derby squad to be honest. When I was a little nipper he took me to the BBG quite a few times, night games were the best, a bus into town then walk through Normanton stop off at the chippy on the way and flick through the pictures of the matchday programme. Quality nights they were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quality nights they were. my dad took me in the late 80's. Don't know why? because he never went before or the season after. Must have wanted me out the house on Sat afternoons so mum and dad could do things:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pearl Ram Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Much like Boyciniho, I reckon my parents wanted a bit of peace. At the time we lived in Regent Street, (don't even know if it's still there) Me and my cousin were sent to the games on Saturdays, this would be in 1969, great things were not far away so that was me, hook, line and sinker.

HarlowRam Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Me old man was the youngest of 9, who all took him to different clubs, but mainly West Ham and Spurs. Some say he was confused and just rebelled, when he decided he was Derby. But he reckons when Dave Mackay moved to Derby, he just followed. Anyway, here I am. With nothing to blame but the fathers influence. Wouldnt change for the world mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beef Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Evenin' all. My family weren't into football at all so i just got into it through friends at school and just naturally started following Derby. I attended a few reserve games at the BBG with a friend and his dad before going to my first proper match in December 1995, we beat Sheff Utd 4-2. I've never looked back!

Derby_Dave Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 I used to listen to Graham Richards radio commentry 'Dilks' barbers Ripley when my Dad took me for haircuts that is when I first took an interest.
