Both inside and out. Sadly it was a time when I went to games less.

I can always visualise it with one corner being open. It's an image of a night game (it's always in the winter), I'm walking up to the ground and from a distance, through the gap I can see a wall of Derby fans highlighted under the glow of the stadium lights (it looks warm, inviting) with the quiet buzz of anticipation from them coupled with the muffled sounds of the PA system emanating from the ground growing ever more cacophonous as the stadium draws me ever closer to it. You don't get that anymore. Edited October 10, 2023 by Kokosnuss angieram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was pretty much a copy and paste of the Boro ground. It's a nice enough ground, but they weren't wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a nice enough ground, but they weren't wrong. They were ripped apart by the disciplinary commission in terms of their methodology for valuing the ground and comparing it to Morecombe and several Rugby League grounds. Obviously it was more impressive when it was built but even now the capacity is higher than half the Premier League grounds. SKRam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
