After recently returning to the heart of the Derby County defence, Alex Pearce sat down for an in-depth interview with our award-winning matchday programme.


Spanning seven pages, the 29-year-old spoke about learning his trade with the record-breaking Reading team of 2005/06, playing for his country, his attitude on and off the pitch, why his goal against Bolton was so special and the Sky Bet Championship run-in.

Jam-packed, as ever, with that and more exclusive features and content, supporters can purchase a copy of our 76-page official matchday programme for just £3 from all around Pride Park Stadium.

On top of that, here’s a brief review of what other content you can expect from our #DCFCvMFC edition of The Ram…

Exclusive Columns: Gary Rowett pens his official programme notes to look back at the recent games and look ahead to a big week for the club, whilst David Nugent brings us the views from the dressing room as he prepares to face his former club.


Opposition Guide: Want to know more about our opponents on Saturday? We have got you covered with our in-depth opposition section on Boro, which includes an interview with Anthony Vickers, the senior Middlesbrough writer at the Gazette, about their change in fortunes under Tony Pulis.

First & Last: We found out more about Kasey Palmer after he sat down with us to undertake our popular programme quiz to look at his personal firsts and lasts and his love for box-sets.

The Loan Watch: Life in Holland, making his senior debut against PSV Eindhoven and improving technically, we caught up with Emil Riis Jakobsen about his loan move to VVV-Venlo.

Academy Focus: A crucial win for the Under-23s and a hat-trick for Morgan Whittaker, we look back at a good weekend for the Rams’ academy and bring you an interview with Jack Haywood as he prepares for the next chapter of his career.


The Final Word: Curtis Davies delivers the final message ahead of the Rams’ meeting with Boro and has demanded an instant reaction from the club’s first back-to-back defeats of the 2017/18 season.

With all that in mind, written and designed in-house, in partnership with Ignition Sports media, The Ram, our award-winning official programme, really is the essential matchday purchase.
