With Christmas in mind, Rams fans – and their present-shopping relatives – will find the RamsTrust Rendezvous revisiting its former berth in the Westfield Eagle Market tomorrow, from 11am until around 3.30 pm, by popular request. For the last year or so, we’ve enjoyed the great pre-match atmosphere at the DW Fitness Centre & Superstore opposite the stadium, and this will continue through the season.

After the Rams’ tense home victory over Reading last week, high-flying West Bromwich Albion visit Pride Park Stadium on Saturday 5^th December, no doubt aiming to avenge their bitter memories of Wembley 2007.

The furore over the joint most blatant handball of all time has only lessened slightly this week amid certainties that the match will not now be replayed.

Derby County’s negative display at Swansea City only produced another away defeat. The Rams’ poor away record has put them under pressure to win home games in order to avoid falling into the Championship’s relegation zone.
