Nothing quite beats derby day. It’s the first match fans look for when the fixtures are released - the tackles are harder, the chants are louder, the stakes are higher.
Heroes are made on derby day, tales of winning goals and last-ditch challenges are passed down the generations by fans whose DNA is made up of the club they love.
So remember this day - it won’t just be Derby fans that will miss days like it if they’re no more. Derby County are on the brink of extinction and so is the storied history of this storied fixture, one of English football’s showpiece rivalries.
