If Derby score what do you do?Stay seated and look miserable.Stand up and look miserable.Stand up and clap politely orGo to the bogs?If we score would you celebrate?It sounds odd but I really want to go but can't sit in the home end. I would give myself away too quickly! Have sat in the home end at Feel Ill and Ninian Park before. Mansfield was ok when Robbo scored, had a few expletives. I did however fear for my life at Cardiff and that was sitting in the posh seats!

I sat in the home end at Feel Ill when we drew 0-0 last year, it stunk and was the worst experience of my life. When Rico nearly bagged at the beginning of the second half (if I recall correctly) I nearly jumped out of my seat but refrained although there were plenty of town sat around me. Luckily it was 0-0 because I really don't think I could have wiped the smug smirk off of my face had we scored!

Was discussing this at work today, I'm in their end, can just about cope with not jumping up if we score, but no way can I force myself to celebrate if they score.

Gonna be an interesting afternoon

Four of us were in the home end at Leeds last season (same stand as town fans but over half way lane) as we got free tickets but afterwards I didn't consider it was a price worth (not) paying for a big game

[clarevoyant.]

We where in the kop at Liverpool kept quiet but when the 3rd went in asked the police to escort us round. Their response you've paid to stand here, tough. we all cracked when the 4th went in got some weird looks but some more mature ones found it novel that opposition supporters would go on the kop they kept the lary ones away and we went for a post match beer with them

Did it at Rotherham two years ago. I stood up and looked miserable. Awful experience.

You should join some undercover squad you've got the knack of "blending in"

[BozaSpireite]

Did it at burton last season , good job there a friendly bunch

[Bankrobber]

I did it for the sold out game at Boothferry Park during the Brown season. Fortunately the now Mrs Robber lived in Hull at the time so it was just a case of nipping round to see if i could find a tout. Completely by chance i found a bloke giving away tickets from the unused allocation for the officials & ended up sitting in the main stand amongst some very loud and very drunk Hull fans. Made it out in one piece though...it feels weird but i really think you can blend in anywhere if you keep schtum.

Best advice would be clap politely if any team scores, say your a man Utd fan but your from Alfreton/ Belper/Matlock etc etc and wanted to see the Derbyshire teams play each other

[trothy1980]

I was in our away end for Wrexham when Chris Beaumont scored! The stewards escorted us round, got told by the 'white coat' steward if he saw me on the pitch at the end he would get me arrested! Did it anyway!

[CFC91]

Done it at Mansfield for the 3-1, and Torquay for the promotion 0-0 draw - nearly jumped out the stand when Davies rattled the bar. Few stood around us moved away but was pretty safe. If we scored at Pride Park I don't know if I could keep quiet.

[hilly81]

I was in the home end v Preston in the cup a few years back. Got some comps in the posh seats from Chris Brown who played for Preston at the time. Didn't enjoy it at all but the seats were comfy. Stood next to Joe Royal during a half time comfort break. Nice bloke.

[Stents]

Did it at the Mansfield 0-0 last year, fortunately no goals! We will see what happens if we score, no idea how i'll react to be honest.

Didnt feel too intimidated on Quarry lane end at Mansfield mainly because the first thing I saw when I got through the turnstile was a load of people from Clay Cross

[Spireite-Karl]

For my sins as a lad I was a Forest fan (it was the lure of the football God himself that did it for me, must be why I've always liked Cookie) and I took my younger brother (Liverpool fan and still is, sad man) to watch his side live for the first ever time. We couldn't get in the home end (sold out) and the only way was to join the mass ranks of Pool fans (it was standing then). I wasn't looking forward to it let me tell you and to be surrounded by thousands of mental scousers when Ian Rush scored and only me not celebrating was the most frightening feeling ever. I got some funny looks, though not one of them said anything and even If they had I wouldn’t have been able to understand them, lol. It was nearly as bad to when Forest scored and I was dying to celebrate inside, but sensibly chose to clench my fist a few times inside my pocket instead.

I've never experienced it as a town fan fortunately as I've always managed to get a ticket.

To answer the question I'm in the Derby Family section, if they score if may applaud politelty, I'm hoping my Fred (the weatherman) Talbot mask wont be considered inapproprite

[longeatonspireite]

Did it at Mansfield last year but hopefully never again.I had good seat with normal people around me But football is not just about watching and applauding like sitting in a tennis match. Its about jumping around like a lunatic when we score, chanting and being around fellow Spireites. At Mansfield I don't think I could have sat down if we had scored.

[Geordieblue]

Did it at Wednesday the other year in the JPT.
A penalty shoot out going all the way to Tommy's miss, could only happen to me.
Managed to keep myself in check till he missed then the expletives came out.
I was passed caring by that point.
Come to think of it, I've never seen a win when being in the wrong end.
Got the right kind of ticket for tomorrow though. 😉
