I’d rather we had as many big teams in the Championship, it makes the matches far more appealing. As @SmogDane said in an earlier post, wouldn’t it be great to have a go at Sunderland twice a season. For me, a match against Derby, holds far more appeal than one against Rotherham or Wycombe. Nah, *** Derby. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might be wrong, but aren't Pride Park & The Riverside literal copy paste jobs? Not sure which was first, but aren't they the same stadium essentially?

But I'm actually quite glad he's not playing tomorrow. It's another opportunity for a young player to take a place in the team at some stage in the game, hopefully. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Changing Times 14,215 21.3k Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 (edited) I think when Pride Park was built it was fully built whereas the Riverside didn't have the NW and SW corners built until later, and the extra top bits of the nearest North Stand and South Stand blocks as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Changing Times 14,215 21.3k Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 That's also why the capacities are different. This riveting stuff should really be on a more appropriate thread though such as the transfer window thread 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rotherham and Sheff Wed just less travel time than Derby for an away day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derby as you say, Sunderland, Rotherham and a few others building to the initial design. In fact Darlington had a mini Riverside did they not?
