Derby getting ready for us.....

[Thunder Bolt]

So they give away flags before each home game? Why don't people just bring along the flags they got from the last home match?

They must have money to burn.

Looks like a Ku Klux Klan rally!

Damn, it's already been said

Probably told by the thick stewards that they can't bring them in as they are offensive weapons.

Welcome to the biggest pedestrian crossing in the world!

No, most of them are left behind after the game. The ones in the picture are new ones for the East Stand, where they've not previously been laid out, paid for by the Chairman.

The fans have made it clear though that clackers are not acceptable, fortunately.

Ra Ra Ra!

Ahem......

While I thought you were the only ones on this superb unbeaten season-long run, your post would suggest all the teams visiting Derby this season have been equally good. Surely they can't match the mighty BHA?

The boring truth it we do this for every home match. In fact we did actually do fireworks one time this season as well, but I can't remember now who was deserving of that particular honour. It might sound a bit naff, but it actually looks pretty impressive and definitely helps to maintain noise levels throughout the game. Next season you'll be doing it at the Amex!

As much fun we have had poking fun at the display (ya tinpot mugs!), I am sure it will indeed look impressive, it worked for us against Donny in the first game at the Amex. Just ramps up the pre-match excitement for Saturday. Hopefully we can rise to the occasion on and off the pitch.

It is mental that we've gone from being utterly shit last year to having a team like Derby stock up on flags for their biggest home game of the season, against us in December!!

Streamers and Balloons as well i see.

"Supporters that have a streamer or balloon are asked to throw these in the air at the end of ‘Steve Bloomer’s Watching’ just before the game gets underway"
.
"Meanwhile, the 1884 Group will also be providing an additional 2,500 black and white flags across the East and North stands for Saturday’s game".

Lol, that's not a bad suggestion - I'm sure we've all got fans who sit there mute through even the most exciting games.

Ahem......

Little bit different.

Yep - "If we score a goal we request that you go bat shit crazy"

Is it too late to bring some streamers of our own? Bright green / blue and white?

 

[Papa Lazarou]

What colour are we playing in on Saturday? I can't remember what colour we played in last time we visited.

Happy to finance something.

Will be limo yellow/green day for us, won't it?

And with that, Derby fans have just risen massively in my estimation. Well done all round.

Fluorescent green balloons?
