Greetings fellow blades . my first ever post on here. ,A lot of posters will remember me from the handsworth coaches I used to run ..I moved to Derby 2 years ago and love it down here . I live between pride park and the old baseball ground in an area called alvaston . Since living here I've met a half dozen or so blades through work and the pubs ..There is a pub here run by a blade with blades memorabilia on the walls its called the Harrington arms. I avoid the Brunswick cos the bloke who runs it is a pig. Pubs I'd recomend blades coming down on new years day are Exeter arms . five lamps. Smithfield . peacock . and where I work the standing order. Coming by train the police will shove blades in Tiffany's and royal telegraph on London road . Both are dives but police will corden you to both so I'd try get early and head into town. Neptune the bell and merry widow are ones to avoid on match day. Its an unusual one for me as I'm gonna be sat with my partner and her brothers in the derby end to your left as there rams fans and from where I live I can walk to the ground in 15, minutes. Any derby blades reading this I'm a regular in the Exeter Fridays and Smithfield on a Sunday.. Utb
