West Country Supporters Branch - Join us in our 30th Anniversary Year

[Justin Ratcliffe]

Dear All,

Thank you for the kind comments about our very active West Country Supporters Branch under the thread ‘Hereford Rams’ recently! In our 30th Anniversary Year we are trying to re-connect with many of the fans who have used the West Country Branch over the years and who we have lost touch with. Our members cover, Cornwall, Devon, Dorset, Bristol, Somerset, Glos,Herefordshire, Worcs, Oxfordshire and parts of the West Midlands.

We are already well known by many of you on here. I have been a Season a ticket holder since 1980/1 and set up dcscwcb in 1994 also taking on the role of the first independent Chair of the Derby County National Supporters Clubs in November 1995 for 1 year. 

Currently dcscwcb organises subsidised (we have a long running lottery which supppirts this) travel for Rams fans for every 1st Team League match at Pride Park as well as producing a newsletter ‘West Country Ram’. Anyone interested in full details please pm me! 

Re Coaches: 

Depart: The Crown, Wychbold WR9 7PF 10.45 am (5.00 pm midweek )

Depart: The Plough, Stratford Road, Solihull B90 4EP 11.15 pm (5.30 pm midweek)

Depart: Clock Warehouse, Shardlow 1.50 pm (6.20-6.30 pm midweek)

For Saturday home games we stop at the Clock Warehouse, Shardlow and also pick up from there and drop back after the game.

We arrive and depart by Pride Park by the other Branch/independent coaches.

Prices:

Wychbold: £22.50 Adult /£12.50 U16 or Student

Solihull: £19.50 Adult / £11.00 U16 or Student

Clock Warehouse, Shardlow  £4.50/£2.50

We are a family orientated Group with a strict no alcohol on coach policy, but have a great day out with fans across the West Country/South West using us on a results basis or just occasionally to break the monotony of long distance trips to Pride Park. We recognise that our Group and the format of our trip (with stopping en route and encouraging family groups) is not for everyone but it has worked well for us over the years. 

We ask that fans using the coach more than once sign up to Branch Memebership which costs from as little as £10.00.

Although we have around 250 active members across the Region we do not organise away coaches but wherever possible arrange ‘meet ups’ before Away games- the next one being Exeter City on Tuesday 13 February which already has great support from fans in and around Devon. 

Get in touch by pm or email derbycountytravel@gmail.com and I will send you full details. 

Finally, we often get asked if we will arrange travel from further South. If numbers justified it, we would certainly consider running from Cheltenham/Gloucester. Please let any Rams fans in the West Country/South West know about us!

Happy New Year to all DCFCFANS! COYR!
