I came on this forum to defend my teams honour regarding the the brickbats they received when our game was called off due to a 'tropical' storm 2ish hours before KO last seasonThe recent events for the Notts fixture did raise a sardonic smile.
Anyway on my last visit some kind chap gave a review of watering holes, we became ensconced in the 'Live and Let Live' superb thanks. So pubs and parking.There are 10 pubs within 5/10 mins of the ground. However when on the duel carriageway approaching the ground at the large tesco island, ground behind it, go straight onto the next island 1/4 mile. Take 1st exit you are now on sheffield road (someone mentioned parking fees) there are numerous streets to your left all except the 1st suitable for free parking. Saving you 7 quid which will buy you a couple of pints (Derbyshire prices)in one of the locals. In this area there are 2 pubs a club and 2 micropubs.. The Derby Tup and the Beer Parlour being the best choices both have up to 10 handpulls. Probably an allowance for the previous nights activities should be made as is the case with the many eateries. There are 2 more pubs right opposite the ground The Glassworks another realale pub The Donkey Derby crap ale but does food (?New years day)
Anyway I hope all enjoy your 'in' ground experience for £18 perhaps alittle reflection on what our experience was like at the Walks looking over a fence at an empty terrace whilst crammed in like sardines may help to get things altered for future visitors.
Pity about Joe Rowley Saturdays game is probably to soon for him.
Cheers
