Hi Andy, thanks for the video of the area, I spent a few hours in the area during the Baseball Days, watching Derby play, it held a few memories I can tell you, sometime I must get back to Derby and visit Pride Park I have only seen it on TV.
thanks, I see your finding my older videos now. I have a few driving videos around Pride park : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LRp7of8unBw.html
Yes Cambridge street has not really changed one bit. There are still a few houses around the ground area that have not taken the window grills of yet !!!
They did. Those streets used to be COBBLED, when I first walked down them. OK relative is a relative term. The streets in worst condition, I think they just laid tarmac straight on top of the cobbles.
It's like the ocean. You now it's still there. Just close your eyes. you can see, hear & smell it. Passing the Blue Peter on the way in, starting to get excited then. Cobbled streets - later badly paved over. House down the left side of Cambridge street somewhere with a woman selling programs out her front window. Listening to Sports Report on the way home, falling off high curbs, a lad in a crowd of adults. It's still there.
I think he BBG was getting a bit dated and not suitable for modern footy, the land at Pride park was a better option and had good transport links. Also its when they were promoted to the Premiership league
@@comedyhunter yh but with the history there, surely with some investment could have remained there. I live close to the BBG, whenever I drive past I feel a sadness in the heart.
'NOTTS' Forest? Sure you're a real supporter? ANYBODY from Nottingham & the East Midlands knows it's Nottingham Forest or just Forest , & it's Notts County...
