Today I had the priviledge of witnessing one of the most important matches in Derby's history, when against the odds they beat West Brom to return to the Premiership. Last year we narrowly avoided relegation so today's result was nothing short of a miracle.
It was a fantastic experience. Wembley is a great stadium and we had a brilliant view, very close to the action. Silvana came with me and took loads of great pics.
The game went as many people expected. In the first half West Brom were very fluid. We were under a lot of pressure but managed to hold out. However in the second half we managed to carve out few chances and came close a few times
Eventually Steve Pearson got the goal from a Giles Barnes cross and the Derby fans went nuts. The defence stayed strong and despite some late scares, we held on.
After the game the celebrations were amazing. Lots of singing. Lots of crying. Having seen Derby so down in the dumps for past few years its great to see them back with they belong - in the top flight. So for the time being, lets savour our moment of glory.
I'm sure Steve Bloomer was watching over us.

We are still trying to recover from all the excitement in our house. Was sad to drive home with all the West Brom fans on the M1 crying.....ha!
