    Drinking on Saturday!

    Not my turn to drive so up for a proper scoop on Saturday. Anyone know a decent boozer for away fans? We ended up in one on west st last season with not a ram in sight (think it was called the blue ball) which was... erm... Interesting.

    The Horse and Jockey on Wadsley Lane is only 10 minutes walk from the away end on Leppings Lane.
    Not a big pub but always full of Derby fans before the game and it is a straight walk down to the ground.
    You will walk past the Park Hotel at the bottom of Wadsley lane. A big Owls pub. Not one I would recommend if you are wearing any Derby colours.

    Or you could try the Riverside - right next to the ground above the Riverside cafe just off Leppings Lane. Next to the river you won't be surprised to hear. Get a mix of fans in there mostly Owls but great beer and good food.

    There is a real ale pub at the train station (literally on platform 1) - it's called 'The Tap' and it will be full of Derby fans who get there by train. You could go there then get the tram to Hillsborough

    Horse and Jockey... Yeah thanks for that, possibly the worst pub I have ever been in. No TV, no food, barely electricity.

    I'm never listening to that Sheffield Ram dude again. His own manor and giving us duff info. Buxton is probably still there, they will probably wanted to eat him in there..

    Landlord was a complete ****.. Can you put the football on mate? No can't afford it.. Any food, might be a sandwich later!! Might be ffs.
    No wonder he can't afford the Sky subscription.

    The little pot boy was weird as well. Some inbreeding there.
