Derby County (H) - Tue 22nd Jul, 7.30pm (Friendly)

Match thread for the pre-season friendly against Derby.

Derby have nearly sold out

Great! More money for the coffers!

I’m tempted to go to this one if Derby are bringing a few with them.

See if we get any decent players in before I decide.

May as well give Derby more tickets if they want them.

This match will be streamed on RAMS TV

I’m surprised that his dad doesn’t try and charge a percentage of his TV licence…

That’s incredible support for a midweek pre season affair, they have a reputation for teavellkng in great numbers and outsinging home support everywhere they go, which had gone into legend with their famous song.

With a packed out and noisy and bousterous away end should make for a bumper audience and great atmosphere. Really looking forward to this one.

Teavellkng is that a Royal pursuit

Watched by an invited bumper aidience

No need to be so bousterous

It’s Swedish

Derby allocation sold out and heard more than a few of their spectators in our end. Hopefully they will behave themselves but should make for a crackling atmosphere. Think this should be a really good watch.

Derby supporters and behaving don’t go together in the same sentence, from past experiences anyway.

Indeed.
I remember when they came down in the early 80’s. Kicked off big time at our place, mainly in the cowshed

Ray Gray will be pleased.

I remember some time around the mid 80s, when I started going every game home and away.

I spent a lot of time sitting outside pubs with a bag of crisps and a coke waiting for my Dad, occasionally I’d be allowed in if I sat in the corner and kept quiet.

The one season, they had problems getting in pubs, because they had stopped letting away fans in because Derby had smashed them up.

Saw a few things when they came to Fellows Park myself and at the Baseball ground.

Football has changed since then I suppose.

Do you think they’ll give us a rendition of their now infamous ā€˜Everywhere we go’ song??
