+Surinder Dulay Thanks, glad my video has brought back lots of good memories for you, Derby has changed so much over those years. Andy

[@MrMickog]

there was something great walking down those streets to the bbg matchdays!

[@Takethatwanderers]

For a relatively new housing estate, you would've thought they would have done the roads aswell! The condition of them look very dilapdated.

[@sunsetblue1759]

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.

[@chandlerbingbong]

Thinking of all the history and good times at the BBG makes this video very depressing.....

[@1971WelshDragon]

The road surface is as bad as the playing surface use to be at the Baseball Ground.

[@comedyhunter]

What about that time in April 1977 when they had to paint the lines on during a match with Man City LOL, surely not that bad !

[@MHM-og6qj]

Out of curiosity why did Derby move out of the BBG?

[@comedyhunter]

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

[@MHM-og6qj]

@@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.

[@tomdeak7213]

@@MHM-og6qj BBG Closed due to health and safety. Mostly made of wood. FIRE HAZARD. So sad. I lived so close for many years.

[@JWHfilms]

But this was still interesting

[@SteveInskip]

One of the properties should surely be called ‘Hectors House’!

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.

[@comedyhunter]

thanks, I see your finding my older videos now. I have a few driving videos around Pride park : kzbin.info/www/bejne/goPTaKKcbdqheNk

[@kimlanghorn8383]

Very sad... like your old school being knocked down.

[@comedyhunter]

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 !!!

[@farmerstephen]

some of those roads need a major resurface!!

[@JWHfilms]

I love how none of these videos have anything to do with comedy

[@markalton6258]

They've only just built them and already the roads are shit.

[@bluenosesrule]

I noticed there is a park area by baseball drive (been there myself) (minute 3.40) was that part of the stadium or is it all houses?

[@comedyhunter]

That bit was not originally there its a new park

[@oohmarkwright9607]

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.

[@comedyhunter]

Yes you can never take away the memories for all who spent their Saturdays here.

[@davidnolan6319]

The clough story must piss you, you had him he left and whent on to do his magic where? Your enemy hurtful but part of football tapestry good luck♥️⚽

[@redwingrob1036]

IT was Clough & Taylor.

[@mazmik]
