3/1 To Win
Sporting a fresh design and a revamped feel, The Ram returns with a bang this weekend for Derby County’s final pre-season friendly clash against UEFA Champions League bound TSG 1899 Hoffenheim.
This summer, movements have been taken to increase the size of our award-winning matchday programme to a more ‘traditional’ B5 layout.
And this weekend, you can get your first taste of it!
For the visit of Hoffenheim, we have produced a 52-page publication which will be on sale for just £2.50 from all around Pride Park Stadium ahead of kick-off: 3pm.
Here’s a flavour of what you can expect from our first instalment of the 2017/18 edition of The Ram:
Manager’s Notes: Gary Rowett’s pens his official programme notes for the first time since April to review Derby’s pre-season campaign and what’s to come.
From The Dressing Room: Chris Baird also gave us his take on pre-season to date and analyses why the Rams have a solid foundation to build on ahead of next Friday’s season opener at Sunderland.
Huddlestone Set For Pride Park Return: The Ram sat down with Tom Huddlestone to discuss his return to the club – 12 years on from when he last played as a Derby player at Pride Park.
Opposition Guide: Want to know more about the rise of Hoffenheim in recent years? We have got you covered with our in-depth opposition section.
Inside Track: We spoke with freelance German football writer Raphael Honigstein to get a deeper insight into Hoffenheim and the work Julian Nagelsmann has done.
A Moment In History: Anton Rippon takes us back to 1934 to review the Rams’ tour of Germany.
The German Connection: Andy Ellis delves into the archives to see what else over the years connects Derby County with Germany.
Pre-Season In Pictures: Six down, one to go! The Ram takes a look back at the best of the images from Derby County’s pre-season campaign.
Academy Focus: We review all the news coming out of the club’s Academy and sat down for an exclusive interview with Charles Vernam to find out how he is recovering from his first serious injury.
The Last Word: Craig Bryson provides the last words ahead of the Rams’ final pre-season fixture and reviews his time at the club and reveals what final piece of the jigsaw is missing.
