TheresOnlyWanChope Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 (edited) First match... January 96. Top of the league v Reading. Won 3-0 Derby fans singing ‘we are top of the league.’ The worst thing was the view- I was too small. Could barely see. Loved the experience. The smells, the match day programme, the walk to the ground, the noise. Brilliant.

My first season there was when we went down to the third tier last time. Looking at these pictures does bring back that feeling of walking to the ground - cant remember it properly but the BBG was like that opening line of Bagpuss - saggy old cloth cat worn at the edges but Emily loved him Edited December 2, 2021 by CBRammette TheresOnlyWanChope and loweman2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Record attendance 40,000 plus. Think george best was the best player i saw there, but there again i could have been dazzled by his looks.?? loweman2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think maybe some parts of the ground were not as steep as Pride Park.(although vaguely remember either Ossie or Normanton end upper being very steep at another match unless I got that wrong) Would have had zero chance in the terraces, at least I got a glimpse of some action! Loved the 96 team- Gabbiadini Robert Sturridge Igor VanderLaan Chris and Darryl Powell Willems etc loweman2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all honesty, I went for the atmospheric nature of the photo (I loved night games there) and didn't fully appreciate the significance. A quick Google explains that it was a tad before my time (my defence!) and also the reason for your pain... for which I apologise... but it's fair to say, neither DCFC or the BBG are/were perfect, and I'm a great believer in allowing the bad times to make you appreciate and embrace the good times more. So apologies for your pain (and for the tears of others' reactions), but no apology for an otherwise sexy, moody, classic BBG night shot! ? loweman2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovely to see from that specific angle and bringing back memories. loweman2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
