Pride Park Lives Up To Its Name

Despite hav­ing the worst year that a foot­ball fan could have if you sup­ported Derby County like I do, the loy­alty showed by the clubs fans were  rec­og­nized in a Sky Sports sur­vey. Even as Derby only claimed one win last sea­son (1–0 v New­cas­tle) the Derby faith­ful sold out Pride Park, usu­ally sold out the Rams away allot­ment and then turned around and sold an impres­sive 22,000 sea­son tick­ets for the upcom­ing CCC sea­son. The sur­vey showed that 53% of Derby fans watched at least 15 matches. Let me tell you as a Derby fan, that was not an easy task by any stretch of the imag­i­na­tion. That was more then any other club in Eng­land last sea­son. While the pride of the play­ers may have come into ques­tion a time or many, the pride of the fans in Derby County showed week in and week out. Con­grat­u­la­tions to my fel­low Rams fans for being the most loyal fans in England!
