I'm just interested to know...

Given the choice, would you rather:

- watch Derby County play at Pride Park stadium,

or

- watch Derby County play at the Baseball Ground, keeping in mind the stadium would have to meet today's Health and Safety standards so there'd be no terracing.

I only watched two reserve games there when I was about 6; my first experience of drinking Bovril, a game in which Nick Wright scored a hat-trick. I wish I'd been more!

Pride Park is a great place to watch football - especially because it is always practically to the rafters - and I can imagine it's a great place to play football. However, from all the stories I've heard, I think I know which I'd choose!

I was at Plymouth too. The shot that hit both posts. We rode our luck down there and ran out of luck at home.

Don't know about Burns. Can't remember.

I was also at Plymouth. Right behind the goal when that extraordinary shot hit the post, rolled across the line and hit the other post. I remember the tv pundits debating for ages as to whether Steve Cherry got a hand on it.
Bobby Davison substituted for Dave Watson
Tommy Tynan
I was at the replay too.
Vivid memories and I was only 11.
