Might be because they’ve had a good team at this level for a while - but still, fair play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pod9 Posted March 10, 2019 Author Share Posted March 10, 2019 Last season there was scrapping everywhere in the away end, total contrast to today. It was one of those great away days that make you proud to be an owl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in the main Derby stand just above the dug-out and it was some noise being made, for the whole game. The SB chant sounds particularly powerful. And tbf, the Derby fans in the first half helped make it a cracking atmosphere The Derby version of the bounce song tho... They seemed oddly chuffed to be doing it in front of the fans that they blatantly copied their inferior version from. It was a bit like Vanilla Ice performing the stolen Under Pressure riff in front of Queen and thinking he was it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derby fan on Championship forum reckons they do bouncing song better than us and we've nicked Sam Winnall song off them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clud17 Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Had a few months off away matches after getting a bit pee’d off with the atmospheres and idiots but yesterday was great and restored my faith. Bring on Bolton on Tuesday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sturutter Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 One great thing about Derby is that they have exactly the right positioning of away fans in the ground, and the noisiest home fans next to them. No deliberate long slither like Wolves, no third tier like Newcastle or Sunderland; Just give the away fans an end or corner, next to core home fans, and the atmosphere will be better for everyone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolves take care of their own. They deliberately give the worst part of the ground for atmosphere (long open side terrace) to away fans. Away fans might be a long way from the pitch at Newcastle/Sunderland but it can be quite noisy up there just like the upper Lepps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
