Overall good day out and watching a pitch invasion at the end was quiet amusing Didnt support either team , just went because we wanted to, Derby lost two nil to Bristol city but have to say very easy to get to from train station, great seats and great atmospher, being able to go and sit outside at half time to eat our chips was good because it was a hot day, tickets arent the best priced and the food there is quiet good.

Both visits were very enjoyable. The stadium is fantastic - decent catering and drinks, toiletsm seatsm etc. Stewards were reasonable and courteous and felt safe walking to and from the ground amongsy Derby County fans. Walked from ground to Derby train station on my own but no porblems whatsoever. On the other trip we parked in a local school cost a £5 but secure safe parking and 10 min walk to ground. Brewsters Pub opp the group welcomed us both times - both sets of fans mixed well both times. Would not hesitate to return to derby in future - great ground, decent fans.

There are several ‘chain’ restaurants (Old Orleans, Harvester to name but two) a short distance away where you can get a drink – well if you like lager, Guinness and such like. If you don’t mind a 20 minute walk however, try the Brunswick just under the flyover for the station and turn left at the top of the steps – wonderful selection of real ales and away fans made very welcome. Also, if you just want something to eat, you can find the usual KFC, Burger King etc nearby. Facilities inside the ground were really good too - though the home fans seemedd rather quiet. Can't comment on the beer/food, but it seemed very popular.

Good stadium, sells beer in the away end. Police are a nuisence tho because they always hold us back before hand and gave us an escort but the stadium itself and getting to it are good. Unless the £3 car park is full. Cracking atmosphere always here. Good stadium, sells beer in the away end.
