Thanks for posting!
Isn’t it amazing that ANY football could be played on this pitch?
Makes me laugh that now-days professionals complain when the grass has been cut to short, too long, watered too much or not enough and actually use it as an excuse for losing a game.
Would love to see the current crop of premiership players play on the old baseball ground in winter.
That was great to watch. Unbelievable state of the pitch though!
Fantastic memories - I was just a kid but remember the baseball ground pitch - unbelievable, Hugh Johns commentaries, the greate Derby team of the 70’s and Chelsea’s sometime nemesis Stoke City. Thanks
What A Shithole
Why was Derby’s pitch always as bad as this? Wonder if the players enjoyed playing in a mud heap?
Great Post!
Now thats what real men playin football looks like not like nowadays with Pansies falling over when they rip their tights!
Could you just image Ronaldo playin on that just think of all that mud in his manacured nails!
UP THE MIGHTY RAMS!
The pitch looks like its been bombed but still the players are back heeling, running at speed and taking players on.
Ronaldo?? Turn it fuckin in…
Think I was on the Popside for this game. It was watching games like this on a horrible pitche, such class, that made me a lifelong Rams fan.
Can’t imagine any of today’s overpaid w*****s would have performed on a pitch like that.
I remember this match, and the pitch was even worse than it looks. We joked that we could see hippos.
greek courts look like that at the rainy days of the season….and the players dont perform any like that
pitch, wow! can you imagine that today…..oh look at colchesters shit heap!
The Baseball Ground was the standard bearer for awful pitches during the 70’s.
Modern footballers are pussies
& Harry Redknapp cries about the state of 2days Wembley surface!!!!!
Wouldnt mind but he was playing his football at this time anyways & i totally agree wi LiquidYogi!
@derbyrules2009 I couldn’ agree more. I’m a Stoke fan and always enjoyed going to Derby they were the most friendly peopl;e in the league, even the police. especially the ” fat sargeant”
lol I like how Hugh Jones describes the pitch as a “muddy field”! They could have grown spuds on that.
Something you just don’t see at the highest level now; muddy footballers. Derby’s ground was notorious for being bad, but it was only really the worst of a pretty bad punch. Thanks to the bungling FA and their refusal to allow live league and cup matches on the TV or even advertising on the shirts, there wasn’t much money in the game for little things like a proper playing surface.
Alan Hudson : what a magnificent player.
