A small thought to warn those already counting our 3 points against Derby. Over the years we have really come a cropper against them and on numerous occasions. I'll start off the examples. In the 1970's we played them away in the FA Cup at the old Baseball Ground. It was an allticket affair and we needed police help to shift derby 'season ticket' holders sitting in our reserved seats. A real nightmare afternoon which really kicked after the game which finished 1-1. Those streets around the ground were like a rabbit warren with agro merchants hassling us all the way to the station. On the way a Spurs supporter got his leg broken by a Police motor bike rider. Relieved and counting on replay win we saw Spurs lead 3-1 with 12 minutes to go in the Wednesday night rematch. Then a lanky dude named Roger Davis dragged them back to 3-3 in normal time before completing his hattrick for a 5-3 win to them! Out we wentEek
