How many to Derby?

[JoeBHAFC]

If 6,000 went Liverpool away on a Sunday 4pm kick-off then surely at least 3,000 will go Derby away 3pm kick off?

I'm not sure the Liverpool match is a good comparison, but my lad and I will be at the Derby match. We weren't at the Liverpool match so how does that affect the statistical analysis

No chance reckon about 1200

Somewhere around that, remember only 450 odd went to Burnley

Yes, but it was a very noisy 450!

 

[JoeBHAFC]

Oh right. But, we will (hopefully) be top of the league when we play them?

~2000, the other 4000 at Anfield were the plastics.

I'm plastic in that case, although not sure a plastic would have missed as many as 4 home games in the last 5 seasons

There's some great pubs in Derby. One almost opposite the train station is in the Good Beer Guide with a massive selection of real ales. Also a good chip shop near to soak up the booze.

Merry Widows and another one 5 minutes up the road

Depends on whether we still have the win streak going. Probably about 1,500. Will include me + 3 junior Grummitts.

I'm going undercover in the home end, mate at uni is a huge derby fan and only down the road.

Be lucky, not exactly a 'rare' trip to Pride Park is it, and had some decent games recently in Millwall, Watford, and Blackpool coming up.

Indeed, an hour direct by train for me to get to Derby, absolutely no complaints.

There's no comparison with Burnley. Burnley is a dive, a hateful place to visit and further away. Derby, on the other hand, is a decent club, newish stadium and one of the easiest to get to, apart from the southern clubs.

Leicester and Forest are probably the closest in our division to Derby.

Last year when we went to Leicester (3pm on a saturday) it was on the back of 7 wins and a draw and we took 2,030.
Last season when we went to Forest (3pm on a saturday) we were 4th in the table at the business end of the season. We took 2,045.

I think we won't be too far from that, probably a bit higher if we continue our form in the next couple of games.


(Last season derby was a tuesday night fixture, and was on the back of a poor run we were just recovering from and the official site doesn't list away numbers for that game)

Good comparable evidence based estimate. I revise my estimate to 2,200.

Don't do it. I've done this before with mates and it's always much more enjoyable to go in the away end. Meet up with your mate for beer before and after but come and join us in the away end.

I'd guess about 1600, there seems to be an invisible wall once we get to Yorks/Lancs that seems to prevent most Albion fans going unless it's a special occasion.

That'll keep the northerners and Scots at bay then.
