Championship Clash: Town Aims to Shine at Pride Park

This weekend promises an exciting match as Town visits Derby County at Pride Park, a venue that has historically favored them. The players are eager to turn around their recent form and capitalize on their strong past performances.

Pride Park: A Fortress for Town

The Blues have an impressive track record at Pride Park, winning 10 of their 19 visits since Derby’s move from the Baseball Ground. This historic success sets a positive tone as they prepare for this important Championship clash. Last season, Town secured a memorable 2-0 victory at this very ground, a triumph that still resonates with players and supporters alike.

Focus on Positivity and Momentum

Manager Kieran McKenna recalled the "brilliant run" they enjoyed during last season, and despite the current challenges, he believes that the players can draw on those memories to inspire their performance against Derby. The upcoming fixture offers not only a chance for redemption after recent setbacks but also an opportunity to showcase the team's growth and resilience.

Every Minute Matters Campaign

In a noteworthy initiative, every EFL match this weekend will kick off one minute later as part of the Every Minute Matters campaign, brought forth by Sky Bet and The British Heart Foundation. This campaign highlights the importance of heart health and raises awareness during Heart Month, underscoring the significance of both sport and health in our communities.

As the Blues gear up for this crucial match, supporters remain hopeful that the team can harness their historical prowess at Pride Park and turn their season around. With strong leadership and a focus on their strengths, Town is prepared to face the challenge head-on.
