Faded Jaded Semi Plastic SOB 1,017 Posted October 22, 2014 The abiding memory of the Baseball Ground pitch is when the penalty spot had to be measured and painted after Derby were awarded a penalty against Man City, it took an age to sort out yet the Derby player dispatched the penalty despite the wait and the shocking state of the pitch, modern day players take note.......

Herman 9,710 Posted October 27, 2014 No worries. Glad someone appreciated it.At Bloomfield would the away fans be situated in the big open area? I have a slight memory of someone complaining that they used to get hit with all the rubbish the Irish Sea could thrown at them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
