    Our biggest chokes are comparable, we had QPR, Forest had Stoke (reading the LTLF thread on that subject still gives me late night lols)

    Derby's high has been higher (promotion to the prem) but its low lower (the following season)

    Head to head, its been fairly even although I'd say we've had more of the 'famous' ones (ten-man 2-1, cup 3-2 comeback, Kenco Cup game, and of course the 5-0)

    The thing that tips things in our favour are our respective homes, Pride Park is 1000 times better than their dump
    Yes like the Stadium of light, a show piece for all those little clubs

    I’ve had to suffer your Corporate area (and Kenny Burns), I’d be fine with Derby in the Sunday League rather that that embarrassment. Still, your 50000 mega stadium will be lovely 😳

    Never have a 40, 000 stadium, bever mind 50k

    Yes that one stand lets it down. But I can honestly say, our ground is a traditional ground with a brilliant location. If ever I need to buy a new carpet/cycle lock/ emulsion, after watching a game of football. Then hopefully we'll move to the middle of no where as well.

    yes and easy nip for a post-defeat curry. I wouldn't describe Pride Park as the middle of nowhere though, I could see into the stadium from where I used to live so its hardly remote

    OK it's not remote. But it is on an business site. It's hardy what you call picturesque nor is it what I'd call part of a football match day experiance.
    There are still many grounds around the country, that are in community hearts. Surrounded by pubs/ shops/ eateries. Ours has all that and a decent view /walk to and from it.
    If they ever do rip down that main stand, I'd be very happy to stay there, as it would see me out on the planet.
