1of4 Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 13 hours ago, Flying Fokker said: I was in the 1974 away leg at Highfield Road. Sunday game. Energy crisis 2nd game to be played in the modern era on sabbath. 2pm kO. 40k crowd. 0-0 bore draw. Yawn. You could win this game. If you turn up. And the first game was? On the same day but earlier KO...Without looking it up? I Won't mention who won at the Baseball Ground replay but we drew against QPR at home the following round and then lost 3-2 at Loftus Road. Due to the company I worked for at the time supplying Derby with a generator, the replay against Coventry was able to take place at night under floodlights. Which we lost 1-0. Went into work the next day and jokingly told the electricians that had been running the generator, that they should have sabotaged it when we looked like losing.

Tamworthram Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 According to Derbyshire live "Derby County fans fume over "dead" FA Cup draw". Seriously? who is "fuming"? Disappointed maybe but hardly fuming. MickD, Abu Derby and jimtastic56 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last FA Cup tie I really enjoyed was when we played WBA away a few years ago. Not sure we'll take 5000 but I'll be going. Curtains 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coneheadjohn Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 That’s an ok draw for me. We wouldn’t have qualified for tickets for a glamorous tie because we are part of the 10000 scum bags who are banned from anything these days.

Ilsonram12 Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Went vs WBA with my cov supporting mate on Saturday, will be there again in cov end hopefully sitting smug, easy ground to get to by train with train to Leicester then to Nuneaton and straight to the ground, on this basis I'm happy with the draw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if it keeps a 1000 supporters away that need to spend a couple of hours in the pub before the game to make it a day out then it’s what the police want and I won’t be sorry either. angieram, Rambervalley, Foreveram and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 3.00pm kick off, short journey, bit of needle from the previous game, it would have attracted a good few who enjoy the event/day out as you say. It wouldn't have led to major disorder as the police would be more visible than they were in the league match but it would be a pretty good old school atmosphere all round.
