Not impressed with the nationalist stuff though. You probably need to lighten up a bit. Id rather a bit of banter about England/Wales than them singing about Stan Collymore, Billy Sharp or Nigel Doughty. Do you also find it cringeworthy when they sing songs about being from Derby?

I thought your point was fans shouldnt sing the word England because its not an England match? By extension, you'd assume with it also not being a Forest match that you wouldn't want the people singing about Forest?

Sunderland's average attendance is very impressive for a League One club. I think I am correct in saying the town has a smaller population than Derby as well.

Ramifications Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 From Derby County's wiki page.... Derby is often acknowledged as a "passionate football town" by rival supporters[50] and the press alike. Tony Francis of The Daily Telegraph noted, "Derby is a passionate football town... Even in Division Two, it's a reasonable bet that crowds at Pride Park would not fall far below 20,000. It's historical, it's geographical, it's in the blood. Some places have it, some don't."

TheresOnlyWanChope Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Wearside has a population of almost 350,000. Still impressive attendances though. These are very poor attendances by Derby’s standard, we’ve had great attendances since Pride Park though and all things considering at the moment it’s to be expected.

Crewton Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 Newcastle and Sunderland have that part of the country pretty much to themselves, which I think helps to explain their continuing strong levels of support. derbydaz22 and Kathcairns 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having to isolate until Saturday so gave my season ticket seat to someone who could make use of it. I daresay there may be quite a few in the same boat. I’ve got covid, and I think I caught it at the Reading game, most likely jostling for a pee at half time. Ought to have worn a mask, but didn’t, nobody else did either.
