DERBY COUNTY - PRIDE PARK

VISITING SUPPORTERS
Away fans are located at one end of the stadium in the Cawarden (South) Stand, where the allocation is normally 3,000, although this can be increased to 4,800, if demand requires it.


The game is shown live on TV screens if you happen to pop round the back for a pie, with commentary, so that you don't have to miss anything while waiting for your half time cuppa.

There is also a Ladbrokes betting outlet too. 
 
PUBS 

There are a couple of pubs opposite the station, such as the Merry Widows, that tend to be the favourite haunts of away supporters.

However, turn right out of the station and make your way down to The Brunswick or Alexandra Hotel. Both these pubs have a railway theme, serve a great range of real ales and offer a selection of filled rolls. Although they both have bouncers on the doors away fans are normally let in as long as there is no singing.  

BY CAR

From the the M1, exit at Junction 25 and take the the A52 towards Derby.

The ground is signposted off the A52 after about seven miles. There is not a great deal of parking available around the stadium so it may an idea to park in the centre of town and then walk out to the ground. Kenny Lyon suggests; 'perhaps a better place to park for all fans is the cattle market car park.

This costs £2 and is about 5-10 minutes walk from the ground and is just off the A52. To get there, go past the normal turning for the stadium and go up to the 'pentagon roundabout;' take the first turning off there and then take the next left - you then drive about 300 yards back on yourself, passing it on your left as you drive along the A52'.


TRAIN
The ground is about fifteen minutes walk from Derby railway station and is signposted. As you exit, turn right and at the bottom of the road turn right again and follow the crowd.
